“…Deductive and systematic, it created the impression that a new science had been born. 15 An example will illustrate the different social and symbolic constraints relative to the two poles in formation, the literary and the academic. In 1964, Barthes published "Eléments de sémiologie" in the review Communications (one of Barthes's more scientific texts), and Greimas published Sémantique structurale in 1966.…”

Summary The initiatives to publish an English translation of the influential Sémantique structurale (1966) by linguist and semiotician A. J. Greimas (1917–1992) provide an instructive case study for the reception of a work in new contexts. The efforts underscore the importance of (dis)connections between cultures’ intellectual traditions and trends, putting in play the relations between continental and American linguistic structuralism, generative semantics, cognitive linguistics, and “French” (post)structuralism throughout the human sciences. The projects also point up the significance of timing and of standards for translation quality – and the possibilities for controversy. In addition to published research, this study draws from archival documents and personal communications with Greimas, his translators and editors, and other principals involved.

L’article pose la question de savoir si la recherche, par les sémioticiens, des principes régulateurs qui sont à la base de toute pensée articulée ne tend pas parfois à se transformer en une sorte de parti pris idéologique. L’intention de départ est claire : si nous portons notre attention sur ce qu’imposent les lois de la pensée, c’est avec l’idée que leur connaissance ne peut que favoriser le développement d’une vie intellectuelle libre et créative. C’est là notre visée et c’est ce qui fonde la sémiotique comme prise de conscience émancipatrice – comme « gai savoir », disait Greimas. Cependant, en pratique, à force de mettre systématiquement l’accent sur les contraintes de la production du sens, est-ce que nous ne sommes pas en train d’en arriver au point d’hypostasier la régularité et de nous transformer, paradoxalement, en gardiens de l’ordre obsédés par la règle, au détriment de l’esprit de création ?
