Annotation: The pupose of this book is twofold: First, being epistemological in nature, it is concerned with identifying methodologically and philosophically valuable achievements of contemporary musical semiotics. The second purpose is a pragmatic one. It stems from the need to interpret the theoretical thought of Eero Tarasti. There is no doubt that today's semiotic-musical thought, in the most general terms, is dominated by two central names and the theories behind them. The names are Jean-Jacques Nattiez and Eero Tarasti. While reconstructing Tarasti's theory, I use the text interpretation method suggested by Gunter Grimm. It originaterd with the general theory of reception formulated by E.D. Hirsch.

Other title information: René Thom’s Semiotic Heritage

Annotation: The central concern of this volume is semiogenesis, i.e. the evolution and differentiation of meaningful («pregnant») forms in the field of symbolic systems – from bio-communication to language and cultural forms like music, art, architecture or urban forms. The basic questions are: How are meanings created and further differentiated? Where do they come from? What kind of forces drive their unfolding? How can complex cultural forms be understood based on simple morphodynamic principles? Applications concern the perception of forms by animals and humans, the categorization of forms e.g. in a lexicon, and predication or other complex symbolic behaviors which show up in grammar or in cultural artifacts like the unfolding of urban centers.

The Parallax View

Slavoj Žižek

Philosophy MIT press 9780262240512 Available

View details

Annotation: The Parallax View is Slavoj Žižek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Žižek himself describes it as his magnum opus. Parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object, caused by a change in observational position. Žižek is interested in the "parallax gap" separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked by an "impossible short circuit" of levels that can never meet. From this consideration of parallax, Žižek begins a rehabilitation of dialectical materialism. Modes of parallax can be seen in different domains of today's theory, from the wave-particle duality in quantum physics to the parallax of the unconscious in Freudian psychoanalysis between interpretations of the formation of the unconscious and theories of drives. In The Parallax View, Žižek, with his usual astonishing erudition, focuses on three main modes of parallax: the ontological difference, the ultimate parallax that conditions our very access to reality; the scientific parallax, the irreducible gap between the phenomenal experience of reality and its scientific explanation, which reaches its apogee in today's brain sciences (according to which "nobody is home" in the skull, just stacks of brain meat—a condition Žižek calls "the unbearable lightness of being no one"); and the political parallax, the social antagonism that allows for no common ground. Between his discussions of these three modes, Žižek offers interludes that deal with more specific topics—including an ethical act in a novel by Henry James and anti-anti-Semitism. The Parallax View not only expands Žižek's Lacanian-Hegelian approach to new domains (notably cognitive brain sciences) but also provides the systematic exposition of the conceptual framework that underlies his entire work. Philosophical and theological analysis, detailed readings of literature, cinema, and music coexist with lively anecdotes and obscene jokes.

Other title information: theoretical procedures of totalization and detotalization in semiotics, philosophy and politics

Annotation: The PhD thesis is a piece of research into the nature of theoretical constructions in various academic disciplines. Drawing on a close analysis of some theoretical works in the field of semiotics, philosophy and politics, it distinguishes between totalizing and detotalizing ways of dealing with the phenomenal multiplicity which always confronts researchers when the construction of a theory is at stake. Theoretical procedures of totalization constitute phenomenal multiplicity into self-enclosed wholes and erase their remains. The thesis considers this kind of procedure from a temporal point of view, focusing on the theories of temporality elaborated by St. Augustine and Edmund Husserl and, from a systemic point of view, focusing on the theory of the (linguistic) system elaborated by Ferdinand de Saussure. Martin Heidegger's critique of the notion of 'presence' and Karl Marx's critique of the notion of 'value' are examined as problematizing the main instruments of temporal and systemic totalization respectively. Still, both Heidegger and Marx lingered within the logic of totality, simply opposing a more authentic wholeness to an inauthentic one. The works of Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Jean Baudrillard are, in contrast, considered in the thesis as representatives of detotalizing procedures which claim the impossibility of self-enclosed wholeness drawing on the inexhaustible remnants of any totalization and a general principle of constitutive openness. Particular attention is paid to those aspects of Yuri Lotman's later thought – such as the notions of explosion, boundary and dialogue – which can be understood as instruments for theoretical procedures of temporal and systemic detotalization of this sort. In the course of the thesis it becomes clear that, for political reasons, the commitment of this research is to detotalization. This commitment is illustrated in the last part of the work. There, the attempts at rethinking emancipative politics elaborated by three contemporary philosophers – Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière – are analyzed as theoretical procedures of political detotalization from both a systemic and a temporal point of view. Wholeness and its remains: theoretical procedures of totalization and detotalization in semiotics, philosophy and politics The dissertation examines the nature of theoretical constructions in various disciplines. Based on a close analysis of some written works in the field of semiotics, philosophy and politics, a distinction is made between totalizing and detotalizing approaches to dealing with the diversity and heterogeneity of phenomena, which always plagues researchers and scientists in the creation of theories. Theoretical procedures of totalization reduce phenomenal diversity to self-contained and residue-free wholes.The dissertation analyses such procedures from both a temporal perspective (St. Augustine's and Edmund Husserl's theories of time) and a systemic perspective (Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of (linguistic) systems). Martin Heidegger's critique of the concept of 'presence/presentness' and Karl Marx's critique of the concept of 'value' undermine the theoretical tools of temporal and systemic totalization, respectively. But neither Heidegger nor Marx go beyond the logic of totality, they simply contrast authentic wholeness with false and inauthentic. The works of Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Jean Baudrillard, on the other hand, represent procedures of detotalization that highlight the impossibility of self-contained wholeness, relying on the principles of the inexhaustibility of the residues of totalization and deconstructive openness. The dissertation pays special attention to those aspects of Juri Lotman's later thought – the concepts of explosion, limit and dialogue – that may be useful in developing such procedures of temporal and systemic detotalization. The dissertation contributes to detotalization for political reasons, which are revealed in the final section of the work. It analyzes the attempt of contemporary philosophers Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière to rethink emancipatory politics as a procedure of political detotalization from both a systemic and temporal perspective.

Essais semio-esthetiques

General Semiotics Pulim 2842873866 Available

Annotation: La chamo sémantique de "présence" s'organise autour du sens d'origine: est présent ce que est là, en vivo, hic et nunc, dans une constellation deictique, saisissable par ostension. Ainsi la présence est-elle observable, sensible, pir la vue essentiellement mais également pour l'ouïe et les sens intimes, l'odeur le goût et le toucher. La présence se dit aussi bien d'une personne que d'un fragment du monde, object état de fait, événement. Mais une présence divine, mystique out spirituelle n'est pas observable: elle est réelle quoique non matérielle. D'autre part la reconnaissance ou le saisissement d'une "présence" est une affaire hautement affective: les présences sont pathémisées et jamais les corrélats d'états purement cognitifs. Notre parsours consistera à l'existence sémiotique dans sa définiton orthodoxe, cheminement ponctué par des philosophèmes que Kant, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty et Lyotard ont exemplairement dédités. Notre partipris, facilement reconnaissible, met la présence intrisèquement dans un rapport modalisé avec le sensible, avec la couleur, avec le son, la saveur, avec l'occasion de la touche. Les essais sémio-esthétiques constituant ce livre voudraient témoigner d'un immense respect pour les épiphanies de la présence.

Annotation: Music, in some forms, declares itself autonomous and absolute. But semiotics has taught us that no sign system can function alone, isolated from other texts. Correspondences and interrelationships of arts have always been fertile soil from which musical meanings to grow. Thus, among the topics of these proceedings, one finds music and painting, ekphrasis, interpretation, semiotic theory of music, pragmatism, aesthetics, topics, narrativity, music and media, opera, cinema, literature, music history, hermeneutics, dance and music psychology. Musical Signification is a world-wide research project that tries to open new avenues for an innovative science of music as a meaningful practice throughout the ages.

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.

The Models of Space, Time and Vision in V. Nabokov's Fiction

Marina Grishakova

Edition
1 edition

Literature Tartu University Press Available

View details

Other title information: Narrative Strategies and Cultural Frames

Annotation: Marina Grishakova belongs to the younger generation of scholars of the Tartu-Moscow school of semiotics. Her book is part of a semio-narratological tradition of a single author or a single work research that tackles issues of wider theoretical import: applicability of the concept of "modeling" in the humanities, theory of mimesis and the function of experimental literature in ( post)modernist culture. By drawing on Y. Lotman's conception of artistic models, the book adopts the semiotic perspective on modeling as an open-ended heuristic process underlying the logic of discovery and creative thinking. The book discusses the models of time and memory in modernist culture (Nietzsche's and Bergson's philosophy of time, Minkowski's research on the psychopathological types of temporality) and their relevance to Nabokov's fiction; popular-scientific notions of serialism and the fourth dimension; thematizations of the observer in modernist philosophy and arts; visual "prostheses" and "machines" (Eco), particularly the "camera vision" metaphor, its relation to Bergson's notion of automatism and the popular idea of ​​the criminal use of hypnosis. Vision is also thematized as a means of seduction and noncoercive control. Even before Foucault, Baudrillard and other critics of modernity, Nabokov noticed that advertising, political propaganda and erotic seduction alike employ implicit forms of suggestion. The book revises Rorty's dilemma of "autonomy" and "solidarity" as applied to Nabokov's work and offers new readings. It considers categories of narrative poetics as forms of cultural encoding that broaden and transform reader's modes of perception and sense-making. Micro-models active in certain contexts or in the works of certain authors function as mobile interfaces between individual sensibilities and complex cultural chrono- and spatio-types where time and space take on conceptual meaning.

Annotation: Systems of Musical Sense breathes new life into the field of music semiotics in its intuitive mix of logical rigor and hermeneutical interpretation and unique approach to paradigmatic analysis (Ruwet, Nattiez) and established theories of tinal music (Schoenberg). More significantly, te authors lay out an entirely new and innovative theory in their concept of musical homestasis, a phenomenon closely related to the fundamental law of physics which states that all things set in motion, organic and inorganic, tend to return to their initial point of rest. In tonal music, which also incorporates teology, this can take place at different levels, embodied by various parameters. The sensitive analyses here demonstrate ramifications of this axiom and cast new light on the structuring and effects de sens of tinal genres ranging in diversity from Bach chorales to Wagnerian opera. The culmination of mera tha a decade of research by this tea of widely published music scholars, the book is also a starting point: cognitivists, theorists, musicologists, and others can use the analytic methos "as is", develop it further, or transform it.The systems unvailed here need not be confined to tonal, "common-practice" art music. As universal axiom at least as dependable as the gestaltists "law of good continuation", the theory of homeostasis reveals new dimensions in earlier musical style and thos of more contemporary vintage.

Annotation: The musical sense in both poetry and music is fundamentally temporal. The question is not whether music is a language or whether language is music, but rather how the 'musicality' of language signifies. The musical sense of poetry is not only heard but it is also felt. In order to deal with these problems the author, Drina Hocevar, from Venezuela, has elaborated a highly original model. She tries to understand the temporal movement as a generative process, deeply rooted in the ontology of our being.

Translation translation

General Semiotics Rodopi 9042009470 Available

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.

Other title information: Modeling System Theory and Semiotic Analysis

Annotation: This book presents a methodological framework, developed from the field of biosemiotics, for studying semiotic phenomena as modeling processes. It presents a descriptive system for uniting semiotics and biology so that the "modeling instinct" can be studied in terms of its manifestations in various species. The book is written in an accessible textbook style, and can thus be used as a manual by both professional semioticians and students taking courses in semiotics, biology, and the communication sciences. It is composed in such a way that a broad readership can appreciate the fascinating research going on in a relatively unknown area of interdisciplinary study.
