SEMIOTIC MAP OF LITERARY TEXT

The author of a prose text does not comment, but points to the sequence of meanings of the stories told in the reader’s mind. And this again takes place on a map, which the author draws with the help of various details. After a certain point in the narrative, everything goes quiet, the noise disappears, and the automatic mode of narration is established. This means that the aura-environment created by the author is trying to untie the knots of tension in the text. As the knots are untied, the semiotic map expands and contracts, and the meeting of these two contradictory movements further narrows the field of internal tension. At the point of “proximity to the explosion,” the designated sequence of meanings becomes visual.
