Odczytywanie na nowo
View details
Other title information: Rozmowy z Mieczysławem Tomaszewskim
Annotation: Zapis 20 godzin rozmów z Profesorem Mieczysławem Tomaszewskim, wybitnym muzykologiem i autorem licznych publikacji z obszaru teorii i historii muzyki XIX i XX wieku, w szczególności chopinologii, liryki romantycznej i muzyki polskiej. Książka Krzysztofa Droby to odczytywanie na nowo samego Mieczysława Tomaszewskiego. Rozmowa dotyka nie tylko tematów zawodowych, ale także przybiera charakter osobistych wyznań.„Mieczysław Tomaszewski jest niezaprzeczalnym autorytetem w środowisku, znanym z wystąpień na kongresach, sympozjach, seminariach, z wykładów na wielu polskich uczelniach, z działań edytorskich, z wieloletniej aktywności jako genialny szerzyciel kultury (określenie Marii Dąbrowskiej sprzed 60 lat!) i wreszcie, last but not least, ze swego imponującego dorobku naukowego w postaci książek. W każdej z tych domen ujawnia oryginalną, wyrazistą osobowość. Ale mało jest świadectw i nie tak wielu świadków jego prywatności. W naszych rozmowach chodziło więc o utrwalenie właśnie tego osobistego, prywatnego tonu. Tonu jedynego, tak jak jedyną w swoim rodzaju jest droga Profesora przez życie."

On Musical Self-Similarity
- Dependent title
- intersemiosis as synecdoche and analogy
View details
Annotation: In this study, Gabriel Pareyon presents a theory of musical meaning formation in the context of intersemiosis, that is, the translation of meaning from one cognitive domain to another cognitive domain (e.g. from mathematics to music, or to speech or graphic forms). From this perspective, the degree of coherence of a musical systems relies on a synecdochic intersemiosis: a system of related signs within other comparable and correlated systems. The author analyzes the modalities of such correlations, exploring their general and particular traits, and their operational bounds. Accordingly, the notion analofy is used as a rich concept through its two definitions quoted by the classical literature - proportion and paradigm, enormously valuable in establishinf mesurement, likeness and affinity criteria. At the same time, original arguments by Benoit B. Mandelbrot (1924-2010) are revised, alongside a systematic critique of the literature on the subject. In fact, connecting Charles S. Peirce!s synechism with Mandelbrot's fractality is on of the main developnets of the presents study.

Russian Formalist Criticism
View details
Other title information: Four essays
Annotation: College English Russian formalists emerged from the Russian Revolution with ideas about the independence of literature. They enjoyed that independence until Stalin shut them down. By then they had produced essays that remain among the best defenses ever written for both literature and its theory. Included here are four essays representing key points in the formalists' short history. Victor Scklovsky's pathbreaking "Art as Technique" (1917) vindicates disorder in literary style. His 1921 essay on Tristram Shandy makes that eccentric novel the centerpiece for a theory of narrative. A section from Tomashevsky's "Thematics" (1925) inventories the elements of stories. In "The Theory of the 'Formal Method'" (1927) Boris Eichenbaum defends Russian formalism from many attacks. An able champion, he describes formalism's evolution, notes its major workers and works, clears away decayed axioms, and rescues literature from "primitive historicism" and other dangers. These essays set a course for literary studies that led to Prague structuralism, French semiotics, and postmodern poetics. Russian Formalist Criticism has been honored as a Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year by the American Library Association.

Annotation: This book is an entry into the symbolicism of music. The book consists of three chapters. In the first, I deal with the concept of the symbol itself. I discuss its genesis, history changing understanding, and above all - it's functioning in contemporary thought in such fields as sociology, cultural anthropology, semiotics or semiology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and musicology. In the second chapter I present the problem of symbol and meaning in European music in a historical outline. The third chapter is my analysis of musical interpretations.

The Semiotics of Law in Legal Education
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: This book offers educational experiences, including reflections and the resulting essays, from the Roberta Kevelson Seminar on Law and Semiotics held during 2008 – 2011 at Penn State University’s Dickinson School of Law. The texts address educational aspects of law that require attention and that also are issues in traditional jurisprudence and legal theory. The book introduces education in legal semiotics as it evolves in a legal curriculum. Specific semiotic concepts, such as “sign”, “symbol” or “legal language,” demonstrate how a lawyer’s professionally important tasks of name-giving and meaning-giving are seldom completely understood by lawyers or laypeople. These concepts require analyses of considerable depth to understand the expressiveness of these legal names and meanings, and to understand how lawyers can “say the law,” or urge such a saying correctly and effectively in the context of a natural language that is understandable to all of us. The book brings together the structure of the Seminar, its foundational philosophical problems, the specifics of legal history, and the semiotics of the legal system with specific themes such as gender, family law, and business law.

The space of culture
View details
Other title information: the place of nature in Estonia and beyond
Annotation: This volume sets out to construct a tentative bridge between the physical and perceived (academic) worlds, between the understandings of culture and nature, their spatiality and temporality by tackling the spatiality of culture phenomena across disciplinary boundaries. The contributions are arranged around a general question of how humans organise the spaces in which they live. The book is divided according to three themes: the humanities and ecosemiotic approach to nature, constructing nature, and examining environmental and landscape change. The first provides an historical review of the humanities and expands on the more theoretical themes. The second section discusses some ways in constructing (wild) nature with specific examples. The final one illustrates the changes that various cultures have brought about in the environment examining landscapes and domestication. The space of culture and the place of nature in various cultures are discussed critically throughout the volume in a way that challenges their ontological separations and invites to discuss culture-nature relationships on a more balanced basis

Music as sign
View details
Annotation: The pupose of this book is twofold: First, being epistemological in nature, it is concerned with identifying methodologically and philosophically valuable achievements of contemporary musical semiotics. The second purpose is a pragmatic one. It stems from the need to interpret the theoretical thought of Eero Tarasti. There is no doubt that today's semiotic-musical thought, in the most general terms, is dominated by two central names and the theories behind them. The names are Jean-Jacques Nattiez and Eero Tarasti. While reconstructing Tarasti's theory, I use the text interpretation method suggested by Gunter Grimm. It originaterd with the general theory of reception formulated by E.D. Hirsch.

Other title information: René Thom’s Semiotic Heritage
Annotation: The central concern of this volume is semiogenesis, i.e. the evolution and differentiation of meaningful («pregnant») forms in the field of symbolic systems – from bio-communication to language and cultural forms like music, art, architecture or urban forms. The basic questions are: How are meanings created and further differentiated? Where do they come from? What kind of forces drive their unfolding? How can complex cultural forms be understood based on simple morphodynamic principles? Applications concern the perception of forms by animals and humans, the categorization of forms e.g. in a lexicon, and predication or other complex symbolic behaviors which show up in grammar or in cultural artifacts like the unfolding of urban centers.
