Annotation: Fruit d'une décade tenue au Centre culturel de Cerisy en 1983, l'ouvrage réunit une quinzaine de contributions que sont autant de signes d'ouverture de la part d'une discipline en cours d'évolution. La mise en question porte à la fois sur les postulats (philosophiques et épistemologiques) de la sémiotique, sur ses méthodes (notament face à de noveaux domaines d'investigation comme la musique ou l'architecture) et sur ses enjeus (en particulier quant au status du "sujet" - suje d'énonciation, suject "analytique", sujet de l'interaction sociale). Avec une importante intervention d'A.J. Greimas, que répond ici, sur un ton quasi improvisé, aux questions de l'assistance. Débat avec Paul Ricœur.. The result of a decade held at the Cerisy Cultural Center in 1983, the book brings together some fifteen contributions that are signs of openness on the part of a discipline in the process of evolution. The questioning concerns both the postulates (philosophical and epistemological) of semiotics, its methods (notably in the face of new areas of investigation such as music or architecture) and its challenges (in particular regarding the status of the "subject" - subject of enunciation, "analytical" subject, subject of social interaction). With an important intervention by A.J. Greimas, who answers here, in an almost improvised tone, the questions of the audience. Debate with Paul Ricœur. (Translated with Google translate)

What is Meaning?

Other title information: Studies in the Development of Signifcance

Notes: Reprint of the edition London, 1903, with an Introductory essay by Gerrit Mannoury and a Preface by Achim Eschach.

Annotation: In "What is Meaning" (1903) the author elaborates on the fundamental tenets of her theory of sign, to which she gave the overall term significs . One of the main obstacles to an adequate theory of meaning, in Lady Welby s opinion, is the unfounded assumption of fixed sign meaning. "There is, strictly speaking, no such thing as the Sense of a word, but only the sense in which it is used the circumstances, state of mind, reference, universe of discourse belonging to it. The Meaning of a word is the intent which it is desired to convey the intention of the user. The Significance is always manifold, and intensifies its sense as well as its meaning, by expressing its importance, its appeal to us, its moment for us, its emotional force, its ideal value, its moral aspect, its universal or at least social range." This facsimile of the 1903 edition of "What is Meaning" is accompanied by an essay on "Significs as a Fundamental Science" by Achim Eschbach, and "A Concise History of Significs" by G. Mannoury.

Palimpsestes

la littérature au second degré

Literature Seuil 2020061163 Available

Annotation: Un palimpseste est litéralement, un parchemin dont on a gratté la première inscription pour lui en substituer une autre, mais où cette opération n'a pas irrémédiablement effacé le texte primitif, en sorte qu'on peut y liter l'ancien sous le nouveau, comme par transparence. Cet état de choses montre, au figuré, qu'un texte peut toujours en cacher un autre ,ais qu'il le dissimule rarement tout à fait, et qu'il se prête le plus souvent à ine double lecture où se superposent, au moins un hypertexte et son hypotexte - ainsi, dit-on l'Ulysse de Joyce et l'Odysée d'Homère. J'entends ici par hypertextes toutes les œvres dérivées d'une œvre antérieure, part transformation, comme dans la parodie, ou par imitation, comme dans le pastiche. Mais pastiche et parodie ne sont que les manifestations à la fois les plus visibles et les plus mineures de cette hypertextualité, out littérature au second degré, qui s'écrit en lisant, et dont la place et l'action dans le champ littéraire - et un peu au-delà - sont généralement, et fâcheusement, méconnunes. Jëntreprends ici d'explorer ce territoire. Un texte peut toujours en lire un autre, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à la fin des textes. Celui-ci n'échappe pas à la règle : il l'expose et s'y expose. Lira bien qui lira le dernier. A palimpsest is literally a parchment from which the first inscription has been scratched out to replace it with another, but where this operation has not irremediably erased the original text, so that the old can be read under the new, as if by transparency. This state of affairs shows, figuratively, that a text can always hide another, but that it rarely conceals it completely, and that it most often lends itself to a double reading where at least one hypertext and its hypotext are superimposed - thus, we say, Joyce's Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey. I mean here by hypertexts all works derived from an earlier work, by transformation, as in parody, or by imitation, as in pastiche. But pastiche and parody are only the most visible and minor manifestations of this hypertextuality, a literature of the second degree, which is written by reading, and whose place and action in the literary field - and a little beyond - are generally, and unfortunately, unknown. I undertake here to explore this territory. One text can always read another, and so on until the end of the texts. This one does not escape the rule: it exposes it and exposes itself to it. He who reads last, will read well. (translated with Google translate)
