O hibridismo semiótico como elemento constitutivo de sentido em poemas de Arnaldo Antunes

Abstract

The present research has the general objective to investigate the semiotic hybridism that installs through a visual configuration, verbal and sonorous in poems and songs by Arnaldo Antunes, identifying and analyzing its sense-generating elements, through an investigation based on the Theory of Signs, by Charles Sanders Peirce. In order to answer the central question: how semiotic hybridity is present in the production of meanings in antunian poetics and how much of this amalgam is reached by perception? In this perspective, the specific objectives of the research were established, to know: identify intersign relations and the semioses that permeate the work of the poet Arnaldo Antunes; investigate the existing relationships between the different types of languages found in the selected poems from this author’s work and understand to what extent the mix of codes present in the work structures the composition of the text and establishes meanings in the poetry. To do so, departed from an approach based on Peirce and on theorists who are allied to the peircian semiotics strand: Pignatari (2004), Santaella (2000, 2004 and 2007) and Plaza (2003). Thus, an attempt was made, in the examination of the processes used in the aesthetic whole of the artistic work, to highlight the hybrid resources that configure the poetic fact in the artist’s poems, lyrics and songs . The analyzes were developed with a view to the materiality of poems and songs by Arnaldo Antunes, exposing both the hybrid and multifaceted structure of antunian poetics, as well as the possible meanings achieved through this hybridity.
