Woody Allen, hermeneuta: cine y textualidad

Abstract

This paper argues with P. Ricoeur’s hermeneutical notion of text, that asserts that writing is the textuality criterion. This paper proposes a conception of text that establishes the semantic coherence as the minimum criterion of textuality. This is the prevailing position in M. Bajtín ‘s philosophy of language, M. Scherner ‘s the textual understanding phenomenology, or J. Petöfi’s semiotics. However, as argumentative strategy to justify this textual theory, these authors thinking is not exposed; instead, a text is analyzed, but a text with a material support different from writing, a film that thinks about its textual condition, i.e. W. Allen’s Hollywood Ending film.
