Abstract

This research aims to analyze the short story “Pai Contra Mãe”, published in 1906 and written by Machado de Assis, based on Claude Zilberberg's tensive semiotic theory, bearing in mind the values that circumscribe the work, the sensitive and the affectivity present in the context of the literary journey, as well as the subjective dimensions and sub-dimensions that are part of this semiotic “grammaticalization” of the content. For this analysis, we will focus on the absolute values promoted by screening the exclusion regime to the detriment of the universe values that guide the mixing of the participation regime; we will explore the progress and tonicity of the intensity axis, as well as the temporality and spatiality belonging to the extensity axis; ending, therefore, in the aspects of ancestry or descent that order the supervening of the central event of the short story. The study is justified for a more sensitive, reflective and critical view regarding the racial and consequently social exclusion regime, especially under the bias of the principles that govern the theoretical line of tensivity.

Keywords: Semiotics; Tensivity; Absolute Values; Screening; Tale.
