The Structural Framework of Passions from Greimas' Perspective: Love as a Model in Algerian Popular Discourse

Abstract

The semiotics of emotions facilitates an in-depth understanding of the affective dimension and human tendencies within narrative structures. This approach enables the tracking of complementary or opposing affective relationships within narratives, viewing emotions as active forces in texts that interact with diverse literary, social, and cultural contexts. It is applicable across various types of literary texts and narrative discourses, functioning as an essential
analytical tool for deciphering emotions and their relationships within events. This analysis reveals underlying psychological aspects and identity-driven motivations that shape narrative logic and influence its flow, ultimately contributing to a deeper exploration of human relationships as reflected in literature and art.
