A paixão do Entusiasmo, em Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros. Elucubrações semio-patafísicas

Abstract

This text honoring our ever-master and theoretical guide, Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros, is intended to indicate brief clues to semiotic studies on the passion of enthusiasm, drawing upon the fine modal analysis that Greimas had done on the passion of cholera in the 1980s. but this time warned of the tensive movements of Zilberberg’s semiotics. The idea was to show that Diana’s style of research and theoretical-academic attitude is based on a true passion of enthusiasm, intense, towards the actions of herself and the actions of the other. In a second movement of the text, the tribute uses the expedients of Alfred Jarry’s pataphysical science to weave certain elucubrations about onomastic, applied to the four magnitudes that define the honoree’s name: Diana, Luz, Pessoa, Barros.
