Abstract
In the specialized discussions of semiotics of the Parisian school, two Greimas are commonly spoken: the first Greimas, who has a rigid vision of structuralism, and reveals himself as a structuralist semantics, and the second Greimas, who tends to see phenomenology. And the book imperfection of meaning is the crystallization of this vision. We believe that the basis of Garmas's narrative thought is based on the logic of logocentrism, which is itself based on the concept of economics or centralism, that is, the rotation of value issues in the hands of subjects in a closed system. In this system, the ontological connection of the subject and value issues is reduced to the level of interaction based on "ownership". Gradually, Greimas treats the subject not only as a "pure concept of grammar," but also as an ontological subject, a subject that engages with the world itself and communicates with it instead of with distance and transcendence. In this paper, while proving that Greimas’s narrative thinking is based on the logic of econometric-based logistics, we will focus on how Greimas believes in the "transcendental and proprietary " relation of Descartes' subject with the world in the heat of a phenomenological relation, based on the "being-in-the-world" of the subject.
