Resumo
This dissertation aims at tracing the linguistic-historiographical route of the passions. The starting
point for doing this research was the book Semiotics of Passions, written by Algirdas Julien
Greimas. During his studies of semiotics, Greimas realized that the verbal and non-verbal texts
presented information that could represent the feelings as content. When dedicating himself to the
Semiotics of action, from the studies of Vladimir Propp, took up a subject that had long been
discussed in philosophy that was the influence of the passions in the way the individual thought and
acted. As a result, it was considered to make this work a review of the route of the Semiotics os
passions, also from Greimas view, mediated by Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders
Peirce s thought, the precursors of the semiological and semiotic studies, respectively. The
philosophers selected to the analysis of the route of the passions were, in Classical Antiquity, the
third century b. C., Plato and Aristotle, who argued that man acted motivated by their passions.
Such passions were always taken as an ill or a disease. Due such thought, the Greeks believed that
only the non-intellectualized men possessed passions, intellectualized men were not affected by this
ill, because they acted with rationality, therfore, classifying the passions as the pathos. Plato started
a more general study on this subject, Aristotle, however, was the one who is dedicated to make them
more specific, mainly, in the Rhetoric of Passions. In the course from Classical Antiquity to
Christianity, in the fourth century, Aurelius Augustine, influenced by Christian thought, presented
the passions from the perspective or under the conflict between soul and body. According to
Augustine, the soul overlapped the body, i.e., it is stronger, so it carries man to sin. Thomas Aquinas
in the Middle Ages, the thirteenth century, dedicated to work the existence, essence and passion.
Classified them as irascible and concupiscibles, influenced by the philosophers of Classical
Antiquity. Finally, in the modern age, the seventeenth century, René Descartes believed that the
passions materialized themselves in a relation between the physiological system and the soul, all
sorts of thought belonged to the soul. To study the passions, under the principles of semiotic theory,
Greimas, besides having researched the passions, according to the philosophers thought, has
adapted some features of the Semiotics of action, as the four modalities, that in the study of
passions became modalities veridictórias (of veracity), and, to these, it was also included the study
of immanence and manifestation, thus the principle of Semiotics of Passions is that the passions
exist according to the wanting and the being.
