RESUMO

The dissertation subject is the theory and practice of Décio Pignataris fictional prose. Decades of work in various fields of communication he has published essays, has taught information theory, has written to the press and was the first intellectual to write in-depth pieces on TV in Brazil, he has translated Marshall McLuhan, has produced advertising pieces, and cinema have made of Pignatari a multimedia creator. This approach also defines his fictional production. Characterized by the usage of multiple resources, both verbal and non-verbal, literary and of various media, Décio Pignataris narratives represent extensions of his prosética as he calls his thinking on the fictional prose and vice versa. While the pignatarian theoretical platform catering his fiction has been established especially through courses, articles, and essays, his narrative literary production has originated the following works: 1) O rosto da memória [The face of memory], stories; 2) Panteros [Pantheros], novel; 3)Cléris und Lotta [Cléris and Lotta], narrative that integrates the anthology 21 Histórias de Amor [21 Love Stories], which had already appeared, untitled, in the foreword to Cultura pós-nacionalista [Post-Nationalist Culture], collected non-fictional texts; and 4) Céu de lona [Tent sky], a play. To survey Décio Pignataris fictional prose, the dissertation counts mostly on the very prosética which is based on Charles Sanders Peirces semiotic. According to Pignatari, fiction, notably the one produced since the release of Ulysses (1922), by James Joyce, is dominated by Peirces Secondness, which projects itself on Thirdness as a suspended gift, a meeting point of the other tenses, the maximum of genders and of distinct discourses of the media. This is the authors purpose for his fictional prose, a prosética mirror, that also feeds itself, as we intend to demonstrate. This is the first "critical study" of Décio Pignataris fictional prose and his prosética
