Other title information: Reflections on Today's Europe
Annotation: Prompted by the unification of Europe in 1992 and by recent events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Jacques Derrida begins this compelling essay on contemporary world politics with the issue of European identity. What, he asks, is Europe? How has Europe traditionally been defined and how is the current world situation changing that definition? Might the prospects of a New Europe demand not only a new definition of European identity but also a new way of thinking identity itself?

The semiotics of theater
View details
Notes: Originally published in three volumes as Semiotik des Theaters (1983)
Annotation: The theater is a particularly privileged semiotic object. Unlike literature or painting which operate within a single sign-system, theater combines a variety of sign-systems - language and gesture, costume and decoration, music and lighting - each of which generates meaning according to different principles. This complexity creates special challenges for understanding theater as a meaning-generating system. Erika Fischer-Lichte's book examines each of the sign-systems of the theater and investigates the ways they relate to one another. The result is a brilliant articulation of a semiotics of theater

Approaching Theatre
View details
Notes: Originally published as Théâtre, modes d'approche (1987)
Annotation: This book is concerned with the analysis of the theatrical event and of all the elements that make up a perdormance – the text, the actor, the space, the spectator, the social circumstances. Here, an international group of scholars approaches theatre – viewed in its traditional guise as a physical entertainment of a text before spectators – from a variety of directions and using different methodologies. While there is a general orientation toward semiotic analysis, historical, sociological, and anthropological approaches are represented as well.

Postmodernism, or, The cultural logic of late capitalism
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: In his most wide-ranging and accessible work, Fredric Jameson argues that postmodernism is the cultural response to the latest systemic change in world capitalism. He seeks here to crystallize a definition of a term which has taken on so many meanings that it has virtually lost all historical significance. He presents an extensive discussion on the cultural landscape—both ‘high’ and ‘low’—of postmodernity, evaluating the political fortunes of the new term and surveying postmodern developments in a range of different fields—from market ideology to architecture, from painting and instalment art to contemporary punk film, from video art and high literature to deconstruction. Finally, Jameson revaluates the concept of postmodernism in light of postmodern critiques of totalization and historical narratives—from the notion of decadence to the dynamics of small groups, from religious fundamentalism to hi-tech science fiction—while touching on the nature of contemporary cultural critique and the possibilities of cognitive mapping in the present multinational world system. This provocative book will be fundamental to all future discussions of postmodernism.

Beyond Goffman
View details
Other title information: Studies on Communication, Institution, and Social Interaction
Notes: Based on a conference held Dec. 1987 at the Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysore, India.
Annotation: This book is a collection of original articles which endeavours to expand the scope of the theoretical views and empirical research Erving Goffman contributed to the social sciences. Most chapters take a critical stand toward his ideas while still recognizing his fundamental contribution to the field. Hence, the title Beyond Goffman. The book is divided into two parts. The first concentrates upon theory and explores Goffman's intellectual heritage (symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, the notion of social situation, the relation between micro and macro levels of analysis) and also examines the way his work relates to contemporary theoretical movements (semiotics, postmodernism, deconstructionism, and feminism). The second part of the book probes the insights found in his diverse empirical studies and expands the domain of their applications.

Det Dialogiska Ordet
- Edition

Annotation: Alla gångbara cynismer och sofismer om konstnärliga schabloners ofrånkomlighet och subjektets undergång i vår komplicerade massmediala värld etc sopas bort av Bachtins enkla uppmaning att konsten på allvar, att svara på det tilltal som riktas mot en: "För det som jag förstått och upplevt i konsten är jag skyldig att ansvara med mitt liv, så att allt det som jag upplevt och förstått inte skall vara verkningslöst i livet." All common cynicisms and sophisms about the inevitability of artistic templates and the demise of the subject in our complicated mass media world, etc., are swept away by Bakhtin's simple call to take art seriously, to respond to the appeal that is made to one: "For what I have understood and experienced in art, I am obliged to be responsible with my life, so that all that I have experienced and understood shall not be ineffective in life."

Ideology and Modern culture
- Dependent title
- Critical Social Theory in the Era of Mass Communication
View details
Annotation: In this major work, informed by materials from several disciplines and theoretical orientations, the author develops a distinctive new account of the theory of ideology and relates it to the analysis of culture and mass communication in modern societies.In the two centuries since is first appeared in France, the concept of ideology has undergone many transformations. It has been twisted, reformulated, recast, and finally filtered back into the everyday language of social and political life. Although there is much that is misleading and erroneous in the traditions of ideology, the author shows that it still defines a terrain of analysis that remains central to contemporary social sciences and continues to be the site of lively theoretical debate.The key to his analysis is what he terms the "mediazation" of the culture—the general process by which the transmission of symbolic forms becomes increasingly reliant on the technical and institutional apparatuses of the media industries. Building on the work of Geertz and others, the author asserts that symbolic forms are embedded in such structured social contexts as power relations, forms of conflict, and inequalities in the distribution of resources, and that any discussion of mass communication must embrace its political as well as epistemological content.
