Book 2010.0

Music as sign

Maciej Jabłoński

Music International Semiotics Institute | Semiotic Society of Finland 9789525431278 Available

View details

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.

Annotation: The work considers the fracture and transition of signs and texts - and thus also meanings - into each other. Meaning is always formed towards the future. The use of signs to convey and present meanings is already a productive process. Meaning inevitably becomes more than what is conveyed or presented. The production of meanings is also based on various structural elements, rules and practices. Static and permanent as well as dynamic and developing are in constant interaction with each other. The articles in the work represent the rich semiotics of the early 21st century. The approaches and the theories that define them are united by the glow of comprehensive research, in which the differences between sign categories and systems are understood as task-specific and contextual, not essential.

Other title information: An examination into the signs of life and the life of signs

Notes: originally published in Danish as Biosemiotik. En afhandling om livets tegn og tegnenes liv (2005)

Annotation: Recent debates surrounding the teaching of biology divide participants into three camps based on how they explain the appearance of the human race: evolution, creationism, or intelligent design. Biosemiotics discovers an intriguing higher ground respecting those opposing theories by arguing that questions of meaning and experiential life can be integrated into the scientific study of nature. This groundbreaking book shows how the linguistic powers of humans imply that consciousness emerges in the evolutionary process and that life is based on sign action, not just molecular interaction. Biosemiotics will be essential reading for anyone interested in the nexus of linguistic possibility and biological reality.

Annotation: Comprensione e malinteso: non si tratta di una polarizzacione, di una copia oppositiva. Comprensione e malinteso vanno a braccetto e generalmente la comprensione e fatta di malinteso. Eliminare il malinteso significa spesso mettere in discussione una relazione, un consenso, un'adesione, un rapport di reciproca comprensione. Understanding and misunderstanding: it is not a polarization, an oppositional copy. Understanding and misunderstanding go hand in hand and generally understanding is made of misunderstanding. Eliminating misunderstanding often means questioning a relationship, a consensus, an adhesion, a rapport of mutual understanding. (Translated with Google Translate)
