FONTANILLE, Jacques. Collaborate with Claude Zilberberg: The Semiotic Convergence Between Tensitivity and Passions. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2022, n.47, pp.11-30.  Epub 31-Ene-2022. ISSN 2594-0619.

Claude Zilberberg proposed in his Essay on tensive modalities, an introductory chapter entitled “Under the semes, is there what?” The answer of the tensive theory is simple: under the difference between terms, there are gradual discontinuities, which participate in the meaning not of the terms themselves, but of their difference. Therefore, the approach “term-to-term” type and the approach “degree-to-degree” type come from two complementary points of view.

Greimas wondered, in Structural Semantics, how we perceive discontinuities in the universes of meaning. In a “synchronous perception”, the sensitive grasp of discontinuities gives rise to a presentation, of gradual form: dependencies and dissymmetries, perceived as tensions and depths, grasped via an affect. Finally, the tensive grasp, associating several allotope dimensions at the same time, makes the choice of complexity.
