Análise semiótica da estesia midiática nas publicidades impressas de perfume de luxo na Vogue Brasil

Abstract

The thesis problematics focuses on the ways how luxury perfume aesthesia is developed in the aesthetic arrangements of printed advertising. We question how these modes contribute to identity construction of applied enunciatees in such advertisements. The research intents are: to analyze the aesthetic experience proposed in advertising; to identify the aesthesic attributes that create the axiology of the scented being; to verify how the translation of the olfactory qualities of perfume is displayed and how it can trigger moods; to comprehend the mechanisms of how sensitive paths make feel the identity attributes proposed by brands and at last to develop a typology of the scented being. In the study object s cut, a set of 142 commercial perfume ads was selected from haute couture and prêt-à-porter brands, published in the regular editions of Vogue Brazil magazine from the years 2010 to 2014. These were approached by semiotics analysis on the verb-visual-spatial articulations of plastic-rhythmic arrangement of the expression plane and of the contents plane. The theoretical and methodological basis is the meaning generative path from Greimas semiotics, connected with Floch s plastic semiotics, Landowski s sociossemiotics, Oliveira's semiotics of the dressed body and Semprini s market semiotics. Achieved results are the mapping of kinds of aesthesic arrangements applied to convincement and the mediated experience of the perfume, as well as the determination of the simulacra of Addresser (product and brand) and Addressee (different segments of scented beings) settled in the advertisements
