Beyond the symbol model
View details
Other title information: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language
Annotation: Beyond the Symbol Model: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language presents arguments on several sides of the contemporary debate over the representational nature of language. Contributors include philosophers, linguists, psychologists, semioticians, and communication theorists from the U.S., Canada, Britain, Northern Ireland, and Israel. The chapters respond to the argument that language can no longer be viewed as a system of signs or symbols, and that a post-semiotic account can be developed from the recognition that language is first and foremost constitutive articulate contact.

Notes: 2nd book in trilogy "Signs Becoming Signs)
Annotation: Floyd Merrell's second book in his Signs Becoming Signs trilogy, correlating to his approach to Peircean 'secondness', or indexicality. In its preface, Merrell describes the purpose of this book, in relation to its predecessor, Our Perfusive, Pervasive Universe, to be that of a Faustian revelation. Amidst all that seems unknowable, a form, an episteme, a causal mapping, will be drawn!

Peirce's Semiotics Now
- Dependent title
- a primer
View details
Annotation: Peirce's Semiotics Now: A Primer is written for the student of semiotics, linguistics, communication, literary and aesthetic studies and philosophy. It provides a penetrating introduction to Charles S. Peirce's concept of the sign, as distinguished from Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistic theory. The author places Peircean semiotics in today's cultural setting. It thus accounts for our multicultural, intertextual, high-tech, postmodern scene, as a set of unifying ideas at the heart of which lies semiosis, the perpetual movement of signs

Semiological Reduction
View details
Other title information: a critique of the deconstructionist movement in postmodern thought
Annotation: This book interprets Derrida and looks beyond deconstructionism. It is a critique that identifies a pervasive flaw in Derrida's thinking: the semiological reduction that permeates deconstructionist theory and postmodernism in general. The critique focuses on Derrida, but its conclusions may be applied to other major figures in the postmodern tradition who espouse the variant of Saussurean semiology that reduces all meaning to the signification of signs. This book challenges the philosophy of deconstruction at its roots, and does so on the basis of a diligent reading of central texts and an understanding of the tradition of Continental philosophy providing the context for Derridian thought

Ecstatic Naturalism
- Dependent title
- Signs of the world
View details
Annotation: Semiotic theory, which has restricted its focus largely to human forms of signification, is transformed by Robert S. Corrington into a semiotics of nature itself. Corrington situates the divide between "nature naturing" and "nature natured" within the context of classical American pragmaticism and postmodern psychoanalysis. At the heart of this new metaphysics is an insistence that all signs participate in larger orders of meaning that are natural and religious. Meanings embodied in nature point beyond nature to the mystery inherent in positioned codes and signs

Le pouvoir comme passion
View details
Notes: Together with a debate between Algirdas J. Greimas and Paul Ricœur that happened in 23.05.1989.
Annotation: Nous savons déchiffrer un propos que répresente de la passion mais savons-nous reconnaître un texte que manifeste de la passion sans la transcrite? La recherche sémiotique était parvenue à un point où il lui était absilumnet nécessaire de pouvoir observer cette inscription directe du vécu, du sensible dans la trame, d'un discours donné. L'expérience la plus pure consitait à partir d'un texte émotionnellement plat, dans son écriture, et cependant captateur, pour démontrer ce qu le travaillait en sous-main,nune qualité de présence qui pertubait le texte et le troublait en profondeur, alors qu'elle était insignifiée au niveau proprement linguistique: Le pouvouir comme passion est la première expérience de mise en évidence de phénomènes discursifs inarticuláres. We know how to decipher a statement that represents passion, but do we know how to recognize a text that manifests passion without transcribing it? Semiotic research had reached a point where it was absolutely necessary to be able to observe this direct inscription of the lived, of the sensitive in the framework of a given discourse. The purest experience consisted of starting from an emotionally flat text, in its writing, and yet captivating, to demonstrate what was working on it behind the scenes, a quality of presence that disturbed the text and troubled it deeply, while it was insignificant at the strictly linguistic level: Power as passion is the first experience of highlighting inarticulate discursive phenomena.

Origins of Semiosis
View details
Other title information: Sign Evolution in Nature and Culture
Annotation: The all-comprehensive scope set by the topic of Origins of Semiosis necessarily encompasses a great thematic diversity. The disciplinary horizon of the contributors to this volume is also highly diverse: it extends from anthropology to zoology and from linguistics to visual aesthetics. Unity in this diversity may be provided by the transdisciplinary framework of semiotics which guides the authors' explorations in the evolution of semiosis, even though the framework of this volume is by no means one of a unifying school of specific semiotic theory.

Signs of Life in the USA
- Dependent title
- Readings On Popular Culture For Writers
View details
Annotation: The transformation from a text-centred to an image-centred culture presents a certain challenge to writing teachers. How can such a textually based enterprise as writing instruction respond to a video-driven world? How are reading and writing related to seeing and hearing? Can the habits of critical thinking that are so central to the analytical tasks of academic writing be adapted to McLuhan's Brave New World? We have written Signs of Life in the U.S.A. because we believe not only that such bridges can be built but that building them represents our best hope for training a new generation of students in critical thinking and writing. Thus, while the goal of our text remains the traditional one of helping students become strong writers of argument and analysis, our method departs from convention by using printed texts to guide students in the analysis and interpretation of an unwritten world: The world of American popular culture, wherein images, often electronically conveyed, can be more important than words.

Annotation: The present work will examine the constitution of Tel Quel's multipositionality (Boltanski 1973: 3-26), or funtion as a geometric locus, as the social creation of a symbolic good that combined all signs of intellectual radicality characteristic of the period. My aim is to analyze Tel Quel as a relatively heterogenous and changing object by exploring in a specific context its constitution, ascension, and decline as an intellectual avant-garde.
