Zoosemiotics

Other title information: proposals for a handbook
Annotation: Zoosemiotcs is more than forty years old. It was in 1963 when Thomas Sebeok established its birth and, partly, definitons. As most people in their forties, zoosemiotics, too, seems to be driven by a desire to reflect about its life, its identity and its experiences. We know very little about zoosemiotics, and the amount of information at our disposal is sometimes quite confusing, if not confused. Forty years is a very young age, scientifically speaking, for a discipline to answer its most important questions. The present book consists of a series of esssays with a homogenous and causally correlated structure. It summarises all the author's interests in the field, including his attempt to extend the field to the areas of anthrozoology (i.e., the study of the human-other animal relationship) and a string ethical input.

Annotation: Portraits is a work in which culture, art and science are approached through the persons who practice them. Some are famous men and women in the Finnish context, from Mannerheim to Ville Vallgren and Anna Sahlstén, while others are international celebrities from Ludvig II and George Sand to Umberto Eco. Memoirs, documents, letters and anecdotes about the lives of the lesser-known are passed on to those who have not known them. Various life works attract the author to intellectual reflections and analyses. But through them the author also draws his own profile as a semiotician, musician and scholar.

Prenatal styles in the arts and the life

Annotation: In this book the authors develop a theory of styles of expression that are constituted before birth. The basic assumption is that prenatal life leaves a deep trace on the persons' further development. The authors use this hypothesis to interpret artistic expressions.

The Logos of the Bios 1
- Dependent title
- Contributions to the Foundation of a three-leveled Biosemiotics
View details
Annotation: This book opens a new perspective on living nature through the philosophical foundation of biology as an understanding social science. The contributions integrate the pragmatic turn of the theory of science discussion, replacing the solus ipse subject of knowledge of objectivism by the intersubjective - communicative character of thought, experience and research. A three-leveled biosemiotics investigates rule-governed sign-mediated interactions within and between organisms of all organismic kingdoms. This approach underlines the complementarity of syntactic, pragmatic and semantic rules as a precondition for adequately investigating the languagelike structure of the genetic code and the communicative organization of interacting living nature.

Other title information: virtues and vices of vocal translation
Annotation: Vocal translation is an old art, but the interpretive feeling, skill and craft have expanded into a relatively new area in translation studies. Vocal translation is the translation of the poetic discourse in the hybrid art of the musicopoetic (or poeticomusical) forms, shapes and skills. This symbiotic construct harmonizes together the conflicting roles of music and language in face-to-face singing performances. The artist sings in an accurate but free flow, but sung in a language different from the original lyrics.

Translation translation
View details
Annotation: Translation Translation contributes to current debate on the question of translation dealt with in an interdisciplinary perspective, with implications not only of a theoretical order but also of the didactic and the practical orders. In the context of globalization the question of translation is fundamental for education and responds to new community needs with reference to Europe and more extensively to the international world.In its most obvious sense translation concerns verbal texts and their relations among different languages. However, to remain within the sphere of verbal signs, languages consist of a plurality of different languages that also relate to each other through translation processes. Moreover, translation occurs between verbal languages and nonverbal languages and among nonverbal languages without necessarily involving verbal languages. Thus far the allusion is to translation processes within the sphere of anthroposemiosis.But translation occurs among signs and the signs implicated are those of the semiosic sphere in its totality, which are not exclusively signs of the linguistic-verbal order. Beyond anthroposemiosis, translation is a fact of life and invests the entire biosphere or biosemiosphere, as clearly evidenced by research in “biosemiotics”, for where there is life there are signs, and where there are signs or semiosic processes there is translation, indeed semiosic processes are translation processes. According to this approach reflection on translation obviously cannot be restricted to the domain of linguistics but must necessarily involve semiotics, the general science or theory of signs. In this theoretical framework essays have been included not only from major translation experts, but also from researchers working in different areas, in addition to semiotics and linguistics, also philosophy, literary criticism, cultural studies, gender studies, biology, and the medical sciences. All scholars work on problems of translation in the light of their own special competencies and interests.

Readers of the book of life
- Dependent title
- contextualizing developmental evolutionary biology
View details
Annotation: The "chicken-and-egg" enigma of how genetic information and the body intermingle in "performing life" is a fascinating challenge for biology. The "Jurassic Park Fallacy" is a more traditional interpretation, stating that all the information necessary to build a body is present in DNA; the cell is but a "juke box" playing unambiguously what is in its genetic text and tuning the performance to the environment. Anton Markos suggests a complementary approach: to assume that living beings are endowed with a capacity analogous to a human reader, who is able to extract meaning from a given text, according to her or his personal experience and cultural background. Hermeneutics was developed in the humanities as a method to achieve understanding, in a given context, of texts, history, and artwork. The author takes living beings as hermeneutical interpreters of "texts" encoded in DNA." "This book should interest scholars in both biology and the humanities. To bring both kinds of reader to a common platform, the first part compares two problem-solving strategies: the "objectivist" approach common in natural sciences and hermeneutics as used in the humanities. The second part surveys aspects of the development of twentieth-century biology, also accentuating branches that never became part of today's mainstream. The third part reviews a large body of recent evidence, which can be interpreted in favor of the author's arguments."

Global Semiotics
View details
Annotation: The study of semiotics underwent a gradual but radical paradigm shift during the past century, from a glottocentric (language-centered) enterprise to one that encompasses the whole terrestrial biosphere. In this collection of 17 essays, Thomas A. Sebeok, one of the seminal thinkers in the field, shows how this progression took place. His wide-ranging discussion of the evolution of the field covers many facets, including discussions of biosemiotics, semiotics as a bridge between the humanities and the natural sciences, semiosis, nonverbal communication, cat and horse behavior, the semiotic self, and women in semiotics. This thorough account will appeal to seasoned scholars and neophytes alike."
