Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze Haroun and Sea of ”‹”‹Stories, by Salman Rushdie (1998), from the oppression versus freedom opposition. The Discursive Semiotics formulated by A. J. Greimas will guide the analysis. It is intended to reveal, the construction of meaning of a work marked by the imposition of censorship as opposed to freedom of expression. To that end, we support the elucidations of the theory made by José Luiz Fiorin (2013, 1999, 1995), Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros (2008, 2002, 1994) and Luiz Tatit (2014) and the referrals about the relation between discourse and the context explained by M. Bakhtin (2000).
