GENETIC CRITICISM TO PROCESS CRITICISM: A RESEARCH LINE IN EXPANSION

Abstract

The article presents the historic of the genetic criticism researches, as they are developed in the Program of Comunication and Semiotics (PUC/SP). The expansion of research subjects and methodological adjustments are discussed, having as a starting point publications and the development of a wide range of masters and PHDs. In addition to these two questions, the article discusses some other milestones in the development of such research as the theoretical course of the case studies to a general theory of the creation of semiotic base and development of a line of research. These paths taken by these researches generated the renewal of genetic criticism goals, becoming the understanding of the processes of creation, making use of different methodologies. This is a very significant change, closely related to another proposal of the article to discuss the concept of creation as a network, in dialogue with contemporary experimentation. In this context, a process criticism is proposed beyond some delimitations of genetic criticism.
