Orientador: Gisela Gomes Pupo Nogueira / Resumo: A partir de uma abordagem discursiva, o presente trabalho propõe ferramentas para descrever os eventos estéticos e os tipos de discurso musical que permeiam a música instrumental contemporânea, mais especificamente nas escolhas enunciativas que cabem ao intérprete musical. Inicialmente, são definidos alguns preceitos acerca da interpretação musical, passando pelas correntes interpretativas e pelas funções do intérprete até chegar à reflexão sobre o ato musical em si. Após a apresentação desse panorama das discussões sobre a atividade interpretativa, a atenção se volta para a construção de sentido na música, de onde se entende que os próprios eventos estéticos – acontecimentos de grande impacto – guiam os fazeres musicais. Para tal finalidade, é utilizado o ferramental de certa linhagem da semiótica francesa. É Greimas, mais especificamente no livro Da Imperfeição, quem diz que as linguagens sensíveis são caracterizadas por eventos (estéticos ou estésicos) que rompem com um sentido discursivo mais abrangente, análogo à própria vida cotidiana, agregando-lhe valor. Os autores Zilberberg e Landowski, em suas trajetórias teóricas, buscaram sistematizar o livro Da Imperfeição cada um a seu modo, ainda que com diversas congruências: Zilberberg, partindo das reflexões de Greimas sobre as fraturas, estabelece a sua acepção de acontecimento, que busca dar conta do evento que acarreta um verdadeiro rompimento do sentido, cuja restauração se daria na própria resolução do acontecimento, q...

First, some precepts related to musical performance are defined; later, interpretative currents and the functions of the performer are brought to the debate until finally reflecting upon the musical act itself. After presenting this overview of discussions on the interpretative activity, construction of meaning in music is contemplated, reaching an understanding that the aesthetic events themselves - events of great impact - guide musical activities. For such, the tooling of a certain line of French semiotics is used. Greimas is the one who – in the book De l’imperfection – says that sensitive languages are characterized by (aesthetic or aesthesial) events that enable a more comprehensive discourse meaning – which is similar to everyday life itself – increasing its value. Throughout their theoretical trajectories, authors Zilberberg and Landowski sought to systematize the book De l’imperfection, each in their own way, but with different congruences: Zilberberg, based on Greimas' reflections on fractures, establishes his meaning of event, which tries to present an incident that causes a real disruption of meaning, whose restoration would take place in the very resolution of such incident, gradually turning into discursive grandeur; Landowski, on t...

La présente thèse rend compte de la dimension affective de la communication. Pour ce faire, l’expérience est d’abord considérée comme durée qualitative (Henri Bergson). Donc, l’expérience est mouvement. Point de départ : le mouvement comme caractéristique intrinsèque du corps qui, ainsi compris, devient un point de passage. Qu’est-ce qui le traverse? Des événements. Il se constitue par ce passage même, ce qui fait de lui un devenir-corps. Ici, toute expérience est acte de communication à son stade le plus pur. Qui est-ce qui communique? L’expérience est une occasion d’actualisation du virtuel. Il s’agit de l’actualisation d’une force virtuelle – que A. N. Whitehead appelle la forme subjective. Le sens du message est l’événement lui-même, c’est-à-dire ce qui émerge dans l’expérience (Gilles Deleuze). Non pas l’expérience subjective d’un sujet préconstitué, mais l’expérience pure, telle que définie par William James : une relationalité. Ce qui s’actualise est une tonalité affective (Whitehead), vécue comme qualité esthétique. Quels sont les facteurs constitutifs du sens? Élargissons la traditionnelle dualité sujet-objet à un complexe relationnel : nous pouvons ainsi percevoir des acteurs affectifs, perceptifs, humains et technologiques, dans un agencement qui se concrétise comme relationalité émergente. Tout événement est situé. Par conséquent, l’émergence du sens devient acte de co-création dans lequel participent les multiples facteurs qui conditionnent l’événement. Cette vision sort d’un anthropocentrisme pour concevoir l’événement lui-même comme sujet de ses propres expériences (Whitehead). De sorte que, tout comme chaque acte de communication, l’expérience des médias est aussi événement vécu. Ce dernier est incorporé par les dimensions du devenir-corps – la conscience-affective et la conscience-réflexive. Celles-ci sont si intimement interreliées qu’elles deviennent mutuellement inclusives dans l’expérience et totalement actives dans l’actualisation du sens. / The present thesis contributes to the understanding of the affective dimension of communication. Experience is first considered as a qualitative duration, and thus as movement (Henri Bergson). The point of departing is movement as an intrinsic characteristic of the body. Thus understood, the body becomes a point of passage. What is it that passes through the body? Events. The body is constituted by this passage itself, which makes it into a becoming-body. Here, every experience is an act of communication in its purest state. Experience is an occasion for the actualisation of the virtual. It consists in the actualisation of a virtual force - which A. N. Whitehead calls the subjective form. The sense of the message is the event itself: that which emerges in the experience (Gilles Deleuze). Not the subjective experience of a preconstituted subject, but pure experience, as defined by William James: a relationality. That which actualises itself is an affective tonality (Whitehead), felt as an aesthetic quality. What are the constitutive factors of sense? The traditional duality subject-object must be enlarged into a relational complex: we can thus perceive affective, perceptive, human and technological actors in an assemblage that realizes itself as an emerging relationality. Every event is situated. Consequently, the emergence of sense becomes an act of co-creation in which the multiple factors conditioning the event participate. Who communicates? This act of co-creation communicates itself. This vision departs from an anthropocentrism to conceive the event itself as the subject of its own experiences (Whitehead). As much as every act of communication is a lived event, so too is every media experience. Event is embodied by the dimensions of the becoming-body – affective-consciousness and reflexive-consciousness. These are so intimately interconnected that they become mutually inclusive in experience and totally active in the actualisation of sense.
