Joseph Courtés’s scientific contributions

... To be revealed to the observer, this system requires "an examination of the semiotic processthat is of the 'visual texts'by which it realizes itself" (Ibid., 637). To make sense of such processes, Greimas developed the so-called semiotic square (Greimas and Courtés 1976;Greimas and Rastier 1968), a tool through which we can formalize the relations between signs. Here, so-called disjunction, conjunction and complementarity allow for reconstructing the narrative that is embedded in a given image. ...

... It presents a picture that man is the captive of the world rather than the master, and that man's consciousness is always inadequate to overcome the dark force. It signals a conviction that "the world has grown old, and the ultimate inadequacy of the visions of the world" illustrating the extreme absurdity and irregularity in the way things develop, and preparing for the "repudiation of all sophisticated conceptualizations of the world" [8]. Therefore, satire, out of its skeptical and ironic nature, contents itself with the "suspicious explosion of all formulas and myths, and delights in exposing the paradoxes contained in every attempt to capture experience in language" [9]. ...

... Accordingly, a particular focus of the study is on the genesis of the indicators themselves. In the concrete procedure, the "hermeneutic circle" was applied, which, building on Heidegger's idea of circular learning [55], postulates an approach that moves analytically from the whole to its part and back to the whole [56]. The significance of such an analysis of the individual indicators is based on two assumptions: Pintér et al. argue that the indicators are the places where the general intentions of sustainability are "demystified" and become concrete [57]. ...

... These categories build on the framework outlined in (Pescatore and Rocchi, 2019), which uses the concept of isotopy to ensure textual coherence (Greimas et al., 1982). Episodic isotopies define Anthology Plots, interpersonal and intrapersonal isotopies sustain Soap Plots, and thematic isotopies characterize Genre-Specific Plots. ...

Greimas'ın yüzeysel ve derin yapılarına göre, yüzeysel yapı görseli iletiye oluşturan tüm öğeleri kapsar ve derin yapı ise yüzeysel yapıda yer alan görselleri insan zihninde canlandırdığı kavramları tanımlar (Greimas, 1979). ...

... Las representaciones que circularon en los discursos a favor de la adhesión provincial de la Ley Micaela, se construyeron en función de determinados procedimientos lingüísticos y discursivos que fueron poniendo de manifiesto los procesos de producción de sentido. Los campos semánticos, compuestos por los lexemas y/o sintagmas (Courtés, 1980) cuyos significados presentan algún sema común, plasmaron una cadena equivalencial de significación que fue configurando las representaciones de la ley propiamente dicha, en relación a sus condiciones de producción sociales e históricas (Cebrelli, 2023), lo que permitió destacar la relevancia de la norma en el marco de ciertos aspectos situados en la provincia de Salta. En el primer fragmento, el enunciado presenta como entidad un colectivo de identificación haciendo uso de un "nosotros" inclusivo para referirse a los/as/es miembros del Poder Legislativo. ...

... The term addresser is projected onto the semiotic square, giving rise to four actantial positions: addresser, anti-addresser, non-addresser, and non-anti-addresser. But only addresser/anti-addresser is used to any extent; and this pair is said to be correlative to that of subject/antisubject, which is needed to account for the 'polemic' structure of narrative discourse (see the entry Anti-destinateur in Greimas and Courtes 1979). ...
