Annotation: University textbooks continuously accompany the reader with current examples of the dimensions of artistic communication and interpretation. While the previous volume, Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation, represented a modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, its subsequent continuation, Into the Miracles /interpretative probes on the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation/, expands on other reception and communication strategies. For students of the cultural studies study program, it is an exercise teaching material, complementary to the in-depth study of the subject Fundamentals of Artistic Communication and Interpretation in connection with some focal models of selected representatives of the so-called Nitra school. This time, the dominant focus of attention was completely narrowed to the international multi-genre site-specific festival in the countryside, Into the Miracles (July 1 - July 4, 2023), which was unique and special in several aspects. The concept of this event was a multi-day pilgrimage for miracles along an 80 km long walking route through the regions of south-central Slovakia. The festival thus provided an extraordinary experience of the journey/procession (of artistic communication as a journey). The event was ideal for cultural and aesthetic-scientific studies as an example of researching the laws of reception, artistic communication and interpretation, so to speak, in an outdoor environment with the dominant backdrop of the landscape and its picturesqueness, natural environment and overall rural color. At the same time, it offered an extremely diverse variability of the reception semiosis of artistic miracles by domestic and foreign creators, which were distributed across the country within the set hiking route. The multi-day pilgrimage for the sacred dimension of beauty also became an opportunity to perceive the narrative level of the entire festival, providing in its dramaturgy the uniqueness of scenes/phenomena of miracles and the need for its search or revitalization.

Annotation: University teaching texts provide students of the study program Culturology with a practically modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, which will guide them through several examples of reception and communication practice. The recapitulation sequence documents the story of a specific 2022/2023 semester cycle, partly of a monothematic nature. They are united by the concretization of one model of artistic communication and interpretation (chapter no. 1 Teaching texts/instruction sheets on reception aesthetics). The starting point is reception aesthetics honed and conceptually profiled at the Institute of Literary and Artistic Communication of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Bratislava in Nitra, from which the texts of individual chapters are subsequently (referentially) created, embedded in the university pedagogical practice of the study of Culturology, and applied as a motif (chapter no. 2 Journeys of one semester cycle).

Other title information: The Tradition of Ferdinand de Saussure

Annotation: The book is an in-depth presentation of the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It has four parts: a historical introduction, the analysis of langue, narrative theory and communication theory. The book concerns the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It briefly reviews the historical schools of modern semiotics and then focuses on the Saussurean theory of the language system, the principles of narrative analysis as developed by A. J. Greimas, and the extension of this theoretical framework to the understanding of communication and the social nature of semiotic systems. It emphasizes the operational aspects of semiotics and matters of methodology and techniques, including the initiative of quantitative analysis.

Other title information: 2 dekady oneho umenia v Nitre

Annotation: In Slovakia, especially outside the capital, unconventional art has never been given the space it deserves. It was and is no different in Nitra, where – although it is home to two universities – progressive, experimental and alternative artistic initiatives still do not bloom like roses... They find themselves in an alienated position, often on the fringes of interest, somehow “they cannot come up with a name” – in which case they are called “that” in the local dialect. Perhaps that is why we have chosen the adjective of not another, but “that” art in the title of this publication, which in many ways deviates from the norm, is significantly different, provocative, and at the very least thought-provoking. The monographic publication Hermovo Ucho & PostmutArt – 2 two decades of that art in Nitra aims to map retrospectively, in a chronological manner, the entire two decades of the existence of the international cycles, or rather festivals HERMOVO UCHO V NITRE and POSTMUTART, focused from the end of the 20th century to the present precisely on these artistic initiatives, often moving in a taxonomically indefinable interspace – on the border of intermedial overlaps and innovative fusions of new music, visual art, video art, performance, sound art, happening –, testing their limits and crossing the boundaries of discursive and non-discursive symbolism in the period of late postmodernism.

Mapping Musical Signification

Joan Grimalt

Edition
1 edition

Music Springer Cham 9783030524951 Available

View details

Annotation: This book is a unique attempt to systematize the latest research on all that music connotes. Musicological reflections on musically expressive content have been pursued for some decades now, in spite of the formalist prejudices that can still hindermusicians and music lovers. The author organizes this body of research so that both professionals and everyday listeners can benefit from it – in plain English, but without giving up the level of depth required by the subject matter. Two criteria have guided his choice among the many ways to speak about musical meaning: its relevance to performance, and its suitability to the teaching context. The legacy of the so-called art music, without an interpretive approach that links ancient traditions to our present, runs the risk of missing the link to the new generations of musicians and listeners. Complementing the theoretical, systematic content, each chapter includes a wealth of examples, including the so-called popular music.

Annotation: The body, in its entirety and at all times, even in spite of itself, signifies. In itself and in the whole of its relations, the body constitutes a kind of "Corposphere", itself part of the "Semiosphere" that Lotman defined as a "continuum occupied by semiotic formations of various types and which are at different levels of organization". It is therefore from the body / in the body / by the body that semiosis begins and ends; and it is in its presential whole and its principal role in the lived world that we can find / construct the interpretation of the world.

Other title information: Analogies biologiques et structures mathématiques pour un génotexte

Annotation: A partir des verbes opérateurs d’un texte, jusqu’à leur enchaînement complet et original en une triple chaîne prédicative, l’ouvrage construit des scénarios de schèmes dans le cadre théorique de la Grammaire Applicative et Cognitive. Il propose une analyse de comparaisons existantes entre le génome et l’alphabet ou le texte, mettant en exergue la nécessité de niveaux d’analyse. A travers une série d’analogies, et une réflexion de ce fait interdisciplinaire, ces structures du langage sont mises en relation avec des structures mathématiques et biologiques : l’ADN, les protéines, la formation de l’embryon, selon des niveaux de comparaison. Construit par ses opérateurs qui mettent en œuvre un concept, le texte se déploie à partir de repères topologiques internes, tel le système nerveux puis le corps à la suite des cellules neurales. Une topologie textuelle devient appropriée pour décrire ce processus. From the operator verbs of a text, to their complete and original chaining in a triple predicative chain, the work constructs scenarios of schemes in the theoretical framework of Applicative and Cognitive Grammar. It proposes an analysis of existing comparisons between the genome and the alphabet or the text, highlighting the need for levels of analysis. Through a series of analogies, and a reflection of this interdisciplinary fact, these structures of language are related to mathematical and biological structures: DNA, proteins, the formation of the embryo, according to levels of comparison. Constructed by its operators who implement a concept, the text unfolds from internal topological markers, such as the nervous system then the body following the neural cells. A textual topology becomes appropriate to describe this process. (translated with Google Translate)

Other title information: traditions and innovations in contemporary music

Notes: This book was originally published under the title Musica mathematica. Tradicijos ir inovacijos šiuolaikineje muzikoje by Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater (Vilnius: Lietuvos muzikos ir teatro akademija, 2013, ISBN 978-609-8071-10-8)

Annotation: The concept of musica mathematica seeks to accurately examine the itnersection of two seemingly radically different subject areas. From the perspective of a European perception, the definition of the science of music was a result of the Pythagorean concept of universal harmony. The Pythagoreans were the first in European culture to raise the issue of uniting music and mathematics, sound and number. In the three parts of the monograph, versatile cases of the itnersection of music and mathematics are displayed, moving from philosophical and aesthetic considerations about mathesis to practical studies, discussing the interaction between music and other kinds of art (architecture, painting, poetry and literature) and providing a practical research of contemporary music compositions.

Other title information: musical microhistories

Annotation: In the current global world the interaction between cultures penetrates into musical practices and discourses, radically affecting the sociocultural imagination and altering the established shapes of cultural territories. Yet the history of music demonstrates that the dynamics of cultural encounters and segregations has always been a key factor in the formation of individual and collective identities and in the understanding of other cultures. Cultural expansions and, conversely, the trajectories of displacement of cultural expression are to a varied extent affected by the political, economic, technological and other dimensions of dissemination of musical practices and traditions. In the modern age, the extramusical factors are of equal significance to textual (creation) and contextual (dissemination and reception) configurations of sociocultural interactions. The understanding of sociocultural interactions and borders plays an important role in the appropriation of the musical past and the revival of cultural memory.

Philosophies of Performance

View details

Annotation: In the years 2008-2009 The Finnish Academy of Sciences funded a research project entitled PHILOSOPHIES OF PERFORMANCE - Finnish music, art and avant-garde. The project focused on temporal, i.e. performing arts, their background philosophies and signifying processes. The empirical material was mostly about Finnish art. Yet, the idea was to develop also "universal" theoretical models relevant to other traditions and fields. Music served as the core phenomenon but it was also scrutinised in its intertextual connections. This anthology offers some results but also contributions from other scholars whom the project stimulated. The authors are Aurea Dominiguez, Joan Grimalt, Sergio Lanza, Otto Lehto, Grisell Macdonel Dario Martinelli, Bogumila Mika, Lina Navickaté-Martinelli, Pärttyli Rinne, Filip Sikorski, Eero Tarasti, Juha Torvinen, Alessia R.

Annotation: The present doctoral dissertation is an exercise in exposition, comparison, criticism and construction, and this is the result of a project conceived ten years ago. We have taken different traditions of legal reasoning, and by juxtaposing them have sought to clarify and assess semiotic presuppositions, in order to outline a theoretical framework of legal semiotics that would help to lay the foundations for semiotic theory of legal argumentation. These semiotic presuppositions have been the object of our study at the University of Tartu since our bachelor's thesis (defended in 2001) and master's thesis (defended in 2006). Our interest in legal semiotics was motivated by a very strong sense of dissatisfaction with the traditional methods and paradigms of contemporary jurisprudence, especially with those ones of legal argumentation. Traditional jurisprudence committed to a model of legal unity, does not for the most part seeks to describe how the views of legal actors interact with the views of other legal actors/participants of legal discourse in real situations of legal communication. Thus, it was the consideration of legal communication as a semiotic activity that caused us to doubt that law could be conceived in terms of traditional legal concepts. Legal semiotics can be regarded as a major advance because it debunks the prevailing assumptions about the nature of legal reasoning and replaces them with what seems a far superior explanation. The main scientific objectives of this dissertation can be briefly formulated as follows: 1) to develop a conceptual framework for practical handling of complex problems of legal argumentation as they occur in the stages of legal communication; 2) to assess issues of compatibility/conflict between existing methods of legal reasoning and our semiotic model of legal reasoning; 3) to bridge the compatible aspects of different theories/models of legal argumentation to establish a generalizable model of legal argumentation.

Other title information: George Herbert’s Poetry as Cognitive Behaviour

Annotation: This book provides a cognitive analysis of the poetry of George Herbert (1593- 1633). From Herbert’s own thinking, recorded in his prose treatises, can be deduced that his poems should serve a specific function: teaching self-knowledge to his readers. Self-knowledge is a necessary skill, to be applied in one’s strife for ‘temperance’: the regulation of body, house, church, mind, and community. To Herbert, the meaning of his poems is subservient to this function: poetry should aid his readers to temper their lives. The cognitive framework applied here can serve to explain this function. Following Merlin Donald’s theory of cognitive evolution, art serves the purpose of mimetic meta-cognition: a specific cognitive strategy at the disposal of a county priest. Moreover, a cognitive framework can serve to explain why the Herbert-tradition has paid so little attention to this artistic function; this tradition operates within specific confines, the same confines that Herbert sought to compensate with his poetry and his thinking.
