Towards a Semiotics of Ideology
View details
Annotation: The attention of this work can be attributed to a particular system of ideology that must be understood as the result of a larger project, meant to study the neo-realist Portuguese novel of the forties and fifties. This study can also, at the same time, be understood as an examination of a larger question, namely that of articulation among literary systems (especially periods and literary genres) and ideological systems. It is by keeping in mind the terms in which such articulation is possible that the recourse to semiotic theory as a foundation of this study is justified. Understood as code, ideology will be treated here as an autonomous system of signs that exists along with the literary polisystem.

Intermittences du sens
- Dependent title
- études sémiotiques
View details
Annotation: Les intermittences du sens, c'est ici, tout d'abord, une pluralité d'pbjects en tous genres (romans, nouvelles ou poèmes, en françauis ou en anglais; discours littéraires, échanges de lettres, bribes de conversation courante; pratiques quotidienne ou objets esthétiques) que traverse et que scande le retour d'une même question: celle de la signification de son surgissement, de ses modes de manifestation et même, peut-on dire, de ses agissements. C'est aussi de point en point et de part en part, le jeu réglé des singularités et des récurrences, l'alternance des espèces constituées et des morphologies en devenir, l'entrejeu des discontinuités et des enchaînements, sur le support, el la dynamique des places et des forces. C'est, dans l'épaisseur des textes, l'échange réversible entre l'espace vectorisé oû les figures se déploient et le substrat figural que y imprime sa prosodie et ses contours. C'est enfin et surtout à la caçon de l'accompagnement qui lie la partition, l'interrogation sur le ses du sens: non pas tant sa saisie que sa poursuite et plutôt que sa fuite, sa fugue. The intermittences of meaning are here, first of all, a plurality of objects of all kinds (novels, short stories or poems, in French or in English; literary discourses, exchanges of letters, snippets of everyday conversation; daily practices or aesthetic objects) that cross and that are punctuated by the return of the same question: that of the meaning of its emergence, of its modes of manifestation and even, one might say, of its actions. It is also from point to point and from one end to the other, the regulated play of singularities and recurrences, the alternation of constituted species and morphologies in the making, the interplay of discontinuities and sequences, on the support, and the dynamics of places and forces. It is, in the thickness of the texts, the reversible exchange between the vectorized space where the figures are deployed and the figural substrate that its prosody and its contours imprint there. It is finally and above all the way of accompaniment which links the score, the questioning of the meaning: not so much its grasp as its pursuit and rather than its escape, its fugue.

Name, Hero, Icon
View details
Other title information: Semiotics of Nationalism through Heroic Biography
Annotation: The main focus of this project, when it was undertaken in 1987, was on name as sign and hero as icon. Since the completion of the work in 1988, dramatic changes have occurred in the world, particularly in Eastern Europe. Through them, one may observe the unpredictable power of signs and symbols and their profound impact on the collective psyche. Masses of people are involved in the destruction of the old icons and the formation of new ones. Here our semiotic lenses are focused on the role of symbolic, on the power of the name-sign, and on the display of its semiotic constant.

Pandora and Occam
View details
Other title information: on the Limits of Language and Literature
Annotation: Evoking Pandora and Occam as metaphoric corner posts in an argument about language as discourse, Horst Ruthrof brings analytic philosophy to bear on issues of Continental philosophy, with attention to linguistic, semiological, and semiotic concerns. Instead of regarding meanings as guaranteed by definitions, the author argues that linguistic expressions are schemata directing us more or less loosely toward the activation of nonlinguistic sign systems. Ruthrof draws up a heuristic hierarchy of discourses, with literary expression at the top, descending through communication-reduced reference and speech acts to formal logic and digital communication at the bottom.

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

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.

Signs Becoming Signs
View details
Other title information: Our Perfusive, Persuasive Universe
Notes: 1st book in trilogy "Signs Becoming Signs)
Annotation: Signs Becoming Signs evinces a broad transdisciplinary perspective based on the thinking of Charles Sanders Peirce. The universe as a perfusion of signs incessantly spilling forth into other signs- evolutionary, processual, ongoing semiosis- resists precise conceptualization. As within St. Augustine's time, we might somehow fleetingly experience it, sense it, almost know it, but upon our attempting to say it, it will already have sublimated into unknowing: thus the breach between our 'semiotically real' world and the 'real', between our incorrigible ideals and our real capacities.

The Empire of Signs

Other title information: Semiotic Essays on Japanese culture
Annotation: Like Roland Barthe's well-known book, 'The Empire of Signs', from which its title is taken, the present volume contains essays dealing with certain aspects of Japanese culture. Also like those contained in Barthes' book, the essays in the present volume are generally characterized by a mildly semioitc orientation, which means that while the authors may or may not be explicitly conscious of semiotic formulation, they are all (at least in the editor's view) interested in, and concerned with signifying (or meaning-generating) activity.
