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.

Semiotics, Self, and Society
View details
Annotation: These essays are concerned with the philosophical "category of person", viewed from anthropological and semiotic perspectives. In one sense the essays continue the Annee Sociologique tradition and the work of Marcel Mauss (1985 [1938]), whose classic study charted a comparative approach to the cultural construction of the self-concept. And in this same sense they continue also the work of Irving Hallowell (1955a,b) and his students (see Fogelson 1982), who have probed empirically the problem of how different cultures differentially encode understandings of what it means to be a self, with relative boundedness with respect to other-selves and with respect to the world of non-selves.

Other title information: an annotated bibliography, 1971-1981
Annotation: 1410 references to published literature in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. 12 annotators wrote the abstracts and prepared a subject index. The bibliography includes works published in six languages that are directly concerned with the psychology or anthropology of body movement. Articles or books from areas such as dance therapy, motor learning, psycholinguistics, ethology, and physical education are included only if they deal in some way with behavioural aspects of movement per se and if they are focused clearly on body language – particularly research in body language as opposed to clinical or training program reports.
