Resumo: The definitions of the lexeme ―metamorphosis‖ are in itself semiotically gripping. Whether in a more figurative level, as ―complete change of shape‖, as ―change in appearance, character‖ or in a deeper level, such as ―change of nature‖ which seems to throw doubt in the very identity of the entity which is subjected to the transformation, the metamorphosis is revealed as an instructive phenomenon of the way how the significance operates in its different strata. Very common to the mythical world and the realm of biology, it still receives a particular facet in the Franz Kafka‘s work The metamorphosis (1997), as a result of the significant importance given to the tempo that rules the phenomenon: not enough the tension caused by the modal concessive constitution of the transmutation of man into an insect, there is a disharmony intrinsic to the phenomenon, inasmuch as the bodily and sensory metamorphosis of Gregor was faster than the intellectual one. Furthermore, the metamorphosis motif is thus typified by a problem of phenomenological nature: what modal arrangements are in the act of Grete‘s consciousness when she makes a judgment about her brother?

Seja num nível mais figurativo, como ―mudança completa de forma‖, ―mudança de aparência, de caráter‖, seja num nível mais profundo, como ―mudança de natureza‖, que parece colocar em questão a própria identidade da grandeza que sofre a transformação, a metamorfose se revela como um fenômeno instrutivo do modo como opera a significação em seus diferentes estratos. Muito comum ao universo mítico e ao campo da biologia, recebe ainda tratamento todo particular na obra A metamorfose (1997), de Franz Kafka, pois que concede aí uma significativa importância ao andamento que preside o fenômeno: é que, não bastasse a tensão causada pela constituição modal-concessiva da transmutação do homem em inseto, há uma desarmonia inerente ao fenômeno na medida em que a metamorfose corporal e sensorial de Gregor foi mais veloz que a metamorfose intelectual. Além disso, o motivo da metamorfose é, em Kafka, tipificado por uma problemática de ordem fenomenológica: quais modalidades estão presentes no ato de consciência de Grete, a irmã de Gregor, quando ela emite um juízo acerca do irmão?Laboratório Editorial FCL-UNESP | Letraria2011-01-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/337410.21709/casa.v8i2.3374CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada; v. 8 n. 2 (2010)1679-340410.21709/casa.v8i2reponame:CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicadainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/3374/309610.21709/casa.v8i2.3374.g3096Copyright (c) 2011 CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMerçon, Francisco Elias Simão2011-01-17T22:51:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3374Revistahttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/oaicasa@fclar.unesp.br1679-34041679-3404opendoar:2023-01-12T16:38:43.721148CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
