The Extraordinary Truth

Abstract

This work investigates the semiotic preconditions that regulate the contact of the subject with "extraordinary happenings" like those described by Greimas in his volume titled De l'imperfection. Taking advantage of the reflections of João Guimarães Rosa on the same subject, the author perceives a true dosing system of densities of the presence of actancial categories that operate when the subject feels integrally taken by the desired and unexpected (or secretly expected ) object. This extraordinary situation is still defined as a space necessarily encircled by ordinary encircling space that gives it an ephemeral time marked by intensity and urgency in the way that it is always on the brink of finishing.
