INTERPRETATION AS A TEXTUAL PRACTICE: BETWEEN SEMIOTICS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS

Although Umberto Eco was in charge of explaining the evolution experienced by the practice of interpretation in the general field of Semiotic studies, distinguishing three modes of intentions (operis, auctoris, lectoris) that would exhaust any possibility of relationship with the text, and also distinguishing between a Semiosic interpretation (related to meaning) and another Semiotic (related to the rules that make it possible), we believe it is necessary to review several questions to clarify the meaning of a term that has generated controversies among analysts. Specifically, those that affect the points of connection between Semiotics and Psychoanalysis, whose contribution has been decisive in animating the reading processes and rethinking the relationship between statement and enunciation, leading some semiologists to claim the handling of Freudian and Lacanian notions that others try to avoid, at least in their way of questioning certain kind of productions.
