CESAR BAQUIAO, Rubens. Between body and perception: the discursive composition of Jesus Christ figure. Ciênc. cogn. [online]. 2011, vol.16, n.2, pp. 30-49. ISSN 1806-5821.

The figure of Jesus Christ is presented in many areas of occidental thought. In the contemporary representations of Christ, the sacred elements are to attenuate. There's an esthetic evolution of the christian image with other axiologies. We understand that the figure of Christ, in the course of history, involves different axiologies and this figure is not only in relationship with the religious discourse. The discursive syntax that organizes the representations of Christ is an assemblage of acts that conjugates the dimension of intensity (the sensibility, the affectivity) and the dimension of extensity (the intelligible, the comprehensible). The discursive semiotic investigates the phenomenological concepts of body and perception to analyzes the cultural transformations in discourses produced in different historical periods and in distinct cultures. © Cien.
