Towards a Semiotics of Ideology
View details
Annotation: The attention of this work can be attributed to a particular system of ideology that must be understood as the result of a larger project, meant to study the neo-realist Portuguese novel of the forties and fifties. This study can also, at the same time, be understood as an examination of a larger question, namely that of articulation among literary systems (especially periods and literary genres) and ideological systems. It is by keeping in mind the terms in which such articulation is possible that the recourse to semiotic theory as a foundation of this study is justified. Understood as code, ideology will be treated here as an autonomous system of signs that exists along with the literary polisystem.

Tracing the Semiotic Boundaries of Politics
View details
Annotation: The first versions of some of the articles in this book were originally presented at the Workshop of Semiotics of the Colloquium on Language and Politics, University of Helsinki, December 12-15, 1988, but most of the articles were begun only after the workshop. The articles are intended to be representative of the current multiplicity of perspectives in the field of language and politics in general and of the boundaries of semiotic studies on language and politics in particular. Here, both "semiotics" and "politics" are used in their broadest sense.

Annotation: This book has evolved as a continuous interplay between theoratical analysis and the elaboration of empirical data. One of the aims was the presentation and systematization of these data, and from this point of view the book may be considered as a research monograph. This book also has a goal to resaon from the specific to the general, from the case study to a theoretical conception of the semiotics of macro-environments.

Name, Hero, Icon
View details
Other title information: Semiotics of Nationalism through Heroic Biography
Annotation: The main focus of this project, when it was undertaken in 1987, was on name as sign and hero as icon. Since the completion of the work in 1988, dramatic changes have occurred in the world, particularly in Eastern Europe. Through them, one may observe the unpredictable power of signs and symbols and their profound impact on the collective psyche. Masses of people are involved in the destruction of the old icons and the formation of new ones. Here our semiotic lenses are focused on the role of symbolic, on the power of the name-sign, and on the display of its semiotic constant.

Other title information: Reflections on Today's Europe
Annotation: Prompted by the unification of Europe in 1992 and by recent events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Jacques Derrida begins this compelling essay on contemporary world politics with the issue of European identity. What, he asks, is Europe? How has Europe traditionally been defined and how is the current world situation changing that definition? Might the prospects of a New Europe demand not only a new definition of European identity but also a new way of thinking identity itself?

Approaching Theatre
View details
Notes: Originally published as Théâtre, modes d'approche (1987)
Annotation: This book is concerned with the analysis of the theatrical event and of all the elements that make up a perdormance – the text, the actor, the space, the spectator, the social circumstances. Here, an international group of scholars approaches theatre – viewed in its traditional guise as a physical entertainment of a text before spectators – from a variety of directions and using different methodologies. While there is a general orientation toward semiotic analysis, historical, sociological, and anthropological approaches are represented as well.

The Empire of Signs

Other title information: Semiotic Essays on Japanese culture
Annotation: Like Roland Barthe's well-known book, 'The Empire of Signs', from which its title is taken, the present volume contains essays dealing with certain aspects of Japanese culture. Also like those contained in Barthes' book, the essays in the present volume are generally characterized by a mildly semioitc orientation, which means that while the authors may or may not be explicitly conscious of semiotic formulation, they are all (at least in the editor's view) interested in, and concerned with signifying (or meaning-generating) activity.

Beyond Goffman
View details
Other title information: Studies on Communication, Institution, and Social Interaction
Notes: Based on a conference held Dec. 1987 at the Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysore, India.
Annotation: This book is a collection of original articles which endeavours to expand the scope of the theoretical views and empirical research Erving Goffman contributed to the social sciences. Most chapters take a critical stand toward his ideas while still recognizing his fundamental contribution to the field. Hence, the title Beyond Goffman. The book is divided into two parts. The first concentrates upon theory and explores Goffman's intellectual heritage (symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, the notion of social situation, the relation between micro and macro levels of analysis) and also examines the way his work relates to contemporary theoretical movements (semiotics, postmodernism, deconstructionism, and feminism). The second part of the book probes the insights found in his diverse empirical studies and expands the domain of their applications.

Ideology and Modern culture
- Dependent title
- Critical Social Theory in the Era of Mass Communication
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.

Peirce, Paradox, Praxis
View details
Other title information: The Image, the Conflict, and the Law
Annotation: "In this book I try to show a continuity of thought, centering on the ideterminancy of law: on conflicts, contradiction, and paradox represented in and by law. I assume that this continuous growth of modern semiotics orginates with Peirce, branches into Legal Realism, and branches further into Legal Semiotics on the one hand and Critical Legal Theory on the other."

The Fashion System
View details
Notes: Originally published as Systeme de la mode (1983)
Annotation: In his consideration of the language of the fashion magazine—the structural analysis of descriptions of women's clothing by writers about fashion—Barthes gives us a brief history of semiology. At the same time, he identifies economics as the underlying reason for the luxuriant prose of the fashion magazine: "Calculating, industrial society is obliged to form consumers who don't calculate; if clothing's producers and consumers had the same consciousness, clothing would be bought (and produced) only at the very slow rate of its dilapidation."

The Matrix of Narrative
View details
Other title information: Family Systems and Semiotics of Story
Annotation: The study which follows proposes a reconstruction of semiotic theory of narrative in light of certain current accounts – psychoanalytic, Proppian, feminist, deconstructive – of the story-telling process. Starting from classical semiotic assumptions – that fictional narrative constitutes a discursive field rather than simply a collocation of texts –, the discussion isolates relational patterns informing various modellings of the story process, outlines a framework for integrating these into a matrix of combinational possibilities and suggests on that basis some vantage points from which to address a number of still pending issues within narrative studies.
