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.

The eyes of justice
- Dependent title
- Seventh Round Table on Law and Semiotics
View details
Annotation: The general topic of this book, miscarried justice, is suggested by the title's allusion to the sightlessness of th proverbial representation of justice. Viewpoints from several academic disciplines, e.g. philosophy, sociology, linguistics, criminal justice, literary criticisms, and religious studies, are brought together with theories of law. This collection is not only interdisciplinary, but cross-cultural as well. The common language is 'legal semiotics', in both a Peircean and non_peircean idiolect. This collection is a rich cross-referential research tool for investigators of law and semiotics in all its aspects. -cover

Annotation: Jamake Highwater,the best-selling author of Myth and Sexuality and the Primal Mind, continues his voyage into the realms of myth, art and contemporary culture exploring the way society views its art and artists and the way our art and artists gaze back at us. Organized around the twenty-two cards of the Tarot Major Arcana, this book presents a dazzling range of controversial subjects, including the puritan division of art into hight and low and the direct influence of "popular" forms in contemporary artists, the image of the homosexual as outlow, iconography as destiny, imagination as political powe, the reinvetion of the past and thriumph of the dream life.

The Making of Avant-Garde

Other title information: Tel Quel
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.

The Socialness of Things
View details
Other title information: Essays on the Socio-Semiotics of Objects
Notes: This book is based on the proceedings of an international conference which took place at the University of Toronto in 1990.
Annotation: The term "socialness" is a neologism that is used in this volume to call attention to the integration of objects in the social fabric of everyday life. Specialists in material culture studies have understood for some time, that societies consist of both people and artifacts. It is not only with people and animals that we interact but also with objects. The chapters in the first part of the volume deal with artefacts such as furniture, mementoes, and knickknacks, which can be manipulated as social "others" – entities with which one can socialize or make a part in socialisation processes such as establishing a bond, conveying a message, etc. The second section of articles concerns artefacts whose dimensions take such proportions that humans become dwarfed with respect to them, such as tourists travelling to visit them or shoppers being herded through their artificial geography as if flowing within an oversized organism. In the concluding section, the artefacts examined are by contrast so adjusted to the proportion of the human body, so close to it that they become an indissociable part of the social persona sticking to the skin, expressing better than any other means of the socialness - fashion.

C'est sa destination naturelle d'être un moyen et non une fin - et ce n'est qu'au prix d'une violente conversion que la recherche peur être dirigée vers ce que est le moyen même de la connaissance. Cette conversion que fut le fait des linguistes ne devait pas mettre fin aux dérobade du langage. Elle conduisit à transporter au sein mêeme de l'objet de sicence-angage de même distance sacrée, cette fois à l'égard des phénomènes du sens. Leur immédiateté, leur naturelle évidence étaient le plus sûr rempart de mystifications dont pouvait s'entourer le langage.
