A inter-relação entre cenografia e et(h)os: Carmen – les racines d’un mythe, de Maingueneau

This paper aims at discussing the concept of ethos from a singular perspective, considering it as a device built in solidarity with scenography. Based on global semantics, understood as a theoretical horizon outlined by Dominique Maingueneau (1984; 2008), we focus this debate on Carmen – les racines d’un mythe, a work not yet translated into Portuguese, written at the same time of Geneses du discours. What we intend, by bringing both works together, is to explain the theoretical framework created in Geneses, especially scenography and ethos, as articulating elements for the author’s reading of Carmen.
