Movimento intersemiótico em Profugus, de Miguel Jorge

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the intersemiotic movement contained in the book of poems Profugus, by the writer Miguel Jorge, published in 1990 and which earned him the Bolsa de Publicações Hugo de Carvalho Ramos award, from Goiânia, Goiás. From the thoughtprovoking title, "Profugus", an innovative construction process emanates from the book, ranging from its organization to its final presentation, extremely provocative due to the strong movement that emerges from its schemes and related to language. The theme of the poems is based on the being of man, his contradictions, his fugitive, nomadic movement. And the construction of this theme is done through a semiotic and intersemiotic movement through which the reader is called to face himself as a human being and face some questions about the book itself: the organization of the book would be just a deviant movement ? What would be profugal: the man, the book, or is one the vehicle to reach the other? The author announces: "We have to understand man" and, to understand this Man, we sought to understand the unusual construction of language under the support of semioticians: Peirce (2000), Greimas (1975), Hjelmslev (2013), Barthes (1989), Eco (1976), Austin (1962); and theorists who deal with the lyrical genre: Todorov (1978), Hugo Friedrich (1978), Hamburguer (1986), Borges (2019). Through bibliographical research, it was possible to observe how the movement created by the organization of the performed language, by the subjects of enunciation of the discourse present in the Georgian lyric, the nomadic and fugitive experience of man. Miguel Jorge transforms the word into art itself and his modified code causes instigating movements through the wellorganized sounds, the visual organization of the word, the intersemiotic transit between the visual code and the linguistic code. The book proves to be a rich field of analysis, as it can be observed from a philosophical, psychological or social perspective. However, through the semiotic movement approach, research can show the moved terrains of language that provide readers with a basis for a possible continuity of analysis through other approaches
