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.

The iconography of landscape
View details
Annotation: The Iconography of Landscape draws together fourteen scholars from diverse disciplines across the humanities and social sciences to explicate the status of landscape as a cultural image, 'a pictorial way of representing, structuring or symbolising surroundings'. By applying the art-historical method of iconography - interpreting levels of meaning in human artifacts - to landscapes on paper or canvas, in literary form or on its ground, its contributors show how landscape is an important mode of human signification, informed by, and itself informing, social, cultural and political issues. The range of examples is wide in terms of medium, period and place. It covers poetry and promotional literature, architectural design and urban ceremonial, maps and paintings. The historical periods discussed include sixteenth-century Italy, eighteenth-century England, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scotland and twentieth-century Canada. The book is introduced by the editors' discussion of the meanings of landscape and of the iconographic method in the context of contemporary theoretical and methodological debates on culture and society

The Romantic Irony of Semiotics
View details
Other title information: Friedrich Schlegel and the Crisis of Representation
Annotation: It is a consequence of the ways in which problems in philosophizing about language have currently come to be dominated by semiotic issues that we now, more than ever, tend to study language as some form of evocation of the world. This book, grounded in this global perspective, may be read as an attempt to answer the question: what sort of picture of the world is irony? The overall response that we arrive at is that the discourse of ironic consciousness is a (self-) reflexive engagement with the world rather than any unilateral objective representation of it.

The Dialectical Biologist
View details
Annotation: Scientists act within a social context and from a philosophical perspective that is inherently political. Whether they realize it or not, scientists always choose sides. The Dialectical Biologist explores this political nature of scientific inquiry, advancing its argument within the framework of Marxist dialectic. These essays stress the concepts of continual change and codetermination between organism and environment, part and whole, structure and process, science and politics. Throughout, this book questions our accepted definitions and biases, showing the self-reflective nature of scientific activity within society.

Cinders

Annotation: Cinders is among Derrida's most remarkable and revealing of this distinguished author's many writings. While Derrida customarily devotes his powers of analysis to exacting readigs of texts from Plato to Aristotle and Freud to Heidegger, readers of Cinders will soon discover that Derrida is engaged in a poetic self-analysis.

Palimpsestes
- Dependent title
- la littérature au second degré
View details
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)

Annotation: The symbolic meaning imposes itself on me by a double determination: it is intentional (this is what the author meant) and it is taken from a sort of general, common lexicon of symbols: it is a meaning that goes to meet me. I propose to call this complete sign the obvious meaning. As for the other meaning, the third, the one that comes 'in excess', like a supplement that my intellect cannot quite absorb, at once stubborn and fleeting, smooth and eluding, I propose to call it 'the obtuse meaning.' --Roland Barthes

Russian Formalism
- Dependent title
- History-Doctrine
- Edition
- 4 edition
View details
Annotation: More elaborately and self-consciously than anywhere in the West, Russian criticism has developed three major schools. One of these looks for the essence of literature in its philosophical and religious ideas: writers like Berdjaev, mainly interested in an interpretation of Dostoevskij, see literature as a way of knowing the absolute. A second school is the social: literature is not only a mirror of society but an incitement to social thought and action. In its Marxist version, social criticism has become the official Soviet creed and is thus felt today as peculiarly representative of Russian criticism. But a third school, that of Formalism, is so far much less known and much less accessible in the West. It arose around 1914 and was suppressed around 1930. Russian Formalism keeps the work of art itself in the center of attention: it sharply emphasizes the difference between literature and life, it rejects the usual biographical, psychological, and sociological explanations of literature.
