| Summary: | The problem of significance arising from its dual characterization
has passed through semantics under distinct polemic qualities
analyzed in this text.. The pragmatic as an alternative to the difficulties
of the semiotic and its particular ulterior developments, has
defined the place of significance as a "universe populated by rituals
and narrations". The author goes a step further and proposes, echoing
Malinowski, the passing from the pragmatic to ethnography: language
as pure action; the only act capable of generating and, paradoxically,
denying meaning |
