THE PASSION OF LOVE ENUNCIATED IN FRAGMENTS OF A LOVER’S DISCOURSE BY ROLAND BARTHES

Abstract

The language of the loving subject is composed and enunciated by discourses, called figures by Barthes, which, activated in the imaginary of the subject, evoke multiple meanings of recognition, of experienced experience. In Fragments, the loving subject is the passionate subject represented by several voices echoed throughout the work. Echoes and resonances full of passion. For Semiotics, in an initial approach, we have the passions, in narrative semantics, as sense effects of modal qualifications that transform the  subject’s state. In the discursive organization of modal structures, the subject may be modalized by a will, a power, a duty, or a knowledge allowing the desired object to make the subject desirous. In addition to these points, the theoretical foundation used for this work is based on the studies developed in discursive semiotics and its developments about enunciation. In this endeavor, we will analyze the discursive level  in which the narrative is situated in time and space, with the actors (the subjects, objects, the  addresseres and addressees of the narrative), who become actors of the discourse;from the first, we will also approach the syntactic procedures of temporalization, spatialization, and actorialization, and the semantic procedures of thematization and figurativization, focusing on the effects of meaning of this passion discourse. 

Keywords: discourse; enunciation; passion.
