Det Dialogiska Ordet

General Semiotics Anthropos 918577209X Available

Annotation: Alla gångbara cynismer och sofismer om konstnärliga schabloners ofrånkomlighet och subjektets undergång i vår komplicerade massmediala värld etc sopas bort av Bachtins enkla uppmaning att konsten på allvar, att svara på det tilltal som riktas mot en: "För det som jag förstått och upplevt i konsten är jag skyldig att ansvara med mitt liv, så att allt det som jag upplevt och förstått inte skall vara verkningslöst i livet." All common cynicisms and sophisms about the inevitability of artistic templates and the demise of the subject in our complicated mass media world, etc., are swept away by Bakhtin's simple call to take art seriously, to respond to the appeal that is made to one: "For what I have understood and experienced in art, I am obliged to be responsible with my life, so that all that I have experienced and understood shall not be ineffective in life."

Ideology and Modern culture
John B. Thompson
- Dependent title
- Critical Social Theory in the Era of Mass Communication
Social Polity Press 0745600816 Available
View details
Annotation: In this major work, informed by materials from several disciplines and theoretical orientations, the author develops a distinctive new account of the theory of ideology and relates it to the analysis of culture and mass communication in modern societies.In the two centuries since is first appeared in France, the concept of ideology has undergone many transformations. It has been twisted, reformulated, recast, and finally filtered back into the everyday language of social and political life. Although there is much that is misleading and erroneous in the traditions of ideology, the author shows that it still defines a terrain of analysis that remains central to contemporary social sciences and continues to be the site of lively theoretical debate.The key to his analysis is what he terms the "mediazation" of the culture—the general process by which the transmission of symbolic forms becomes increasingly reliant on the technical and institutional apparatuses of the media industries. Building on the work of Geertz and others, the author asserts that symbolic forms are embedded in such structured social contexts as power relations, forms of conflict, and inequalities in the distribution of resources, and that any discussion of mass communication must embrace its political as well as epistemological content.

Ideology and Insanity
Thomas S. Szasz
- Dependent title
- Essays on the psychiatric dehumanization of man
Social Pelican Books 0140218262 Available
View details
Annotation: In the social and political conflicts that take place in any society, control of the weak by the strong is justified by the rhetoric appropriate to the prevailing ideology. The 20th century’s credo is Mental Health; and in its name those who deviate from accepted social norms are often victimized and dehumanized. The author of these fourteen essays is a psychoanalyst and teacher. Here, Dr. Thomas Szasz shows how, by encouraging us to wage war on the false front of mental illness, psychiatry too often serves as a convenient way of avoiding confrontations with moral conflicts and societal problems. And, he warns us, if we persist in defining the vicissitudes of life as mental illnesses, and psychiatric interventions as medical treatments, we court the hazards of political tyranny disguised as psychiatric therapy.

Russian Formalism

General Semiotics Mouton Publishers 9027904502 Available

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.
