Semiotics and the modern Quebec novel
- Dependent title
- a Greimassian analysis of Thériault's Agaguk
View details
Annotation: The most popular novel in Quebec since the Second World War, Yves Theriault's Agaguk was published just before the Quiet Revolution, a period of major political and cultural transformation that radically altered Quebec society at the beginning of the 1960s. In this original socio-semiotic reading of the novel in translation, inspired by A.J. Greimas and the Paris School of Semiotics, Paul Perron examines the Inuit setting and characters of Agaguk as metaphors for Quebec society. Semiotics and the Modern Quebec Novel is one of the few semiotic analyses to deal with an entire novel, and illustrates the heuristic value of this complex methodology with respect to long prose texts in English.

Peirce's Semiotics Now

- a primer
View details
Annotation: Peirce's Semiotics Now: A Primer is written for the student of semiotics, linguistics, communication, literary and aesthetic studies and philosophy. It provides a penetrating introduction to Charles S. Peirce's concept of the sign, as distinguished from Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistic theory. The author places Peircean semiotics in today's cultural setting. It thus accounts for our multicultural, intertextual, high-tech, postmodern scene, as a set of unifying ideas at the heart of which lies semiosis, the perpetual movement of signs

Semiological Reduction
View details
Other title information: a critique of the deconstructionist movement in postmodern thought
Annotation: This book interprets Derrida and looks beyond deconstructionism. It is a critique that identifies a pervasive flaw in Derrida's thinking: the semiological reduction that permeates deconstructionist theory and postmodernism in general. The critique focuses on Derrida, but its conclusions may be applied to other major figures in the postmodern tradition who espouse the variant of Saussurean semiology that reduces all meaning to the signification of signs. This book challenges the philosophy of deconstruction at its roots, and does so on the basis of a diligent reading of central texts and an understanding of the tradition of Continental philosophy providing the context for Derridian thought

An introudction to systemic functional linguistics
- Edition
- 2 edition

Annotation: Systemic linguistics is an approach which views language as a strategic, meaning making resource. This text, an introduction to this semiotic approach, focuses on the analysis of authentic, everyday texts, and asks both how people use language to make meanings, and how language itself is organised to enable those meanings to be made.

Contexts of Pre-Novel Narrative
View details
Other title information: The European Tradition
Annotation: While being concerned with the theory and forms of early narrative, the present collection of essays presents a history of narrative rather than poetics of narrative. Rather than offering to write a coherent narrative about the historical development of narrative before " the rise of the novel", the volume presents stages in the development towards that elusive and unstable form of narrative, giving the reader what in another context has been referred to as an "exemplary history" (Reed 1981) of narrative.

Ecstatic Naturalism
- Dependent title
- Signs of the world
View details
Annotation: Semiotic theory, which has restricted its focus largely to human forms of signification, is transformed by Robert S. Corrington into a semiotics of nature itself. Corrington situates the divide between "nature naturing" and "nature natured" within the context of classical American pragmaticism and postmodern psychoanalysis. At the heart of this new metaphysics is an insistence that all signs participate in larger orders of meaning that are natural and religious. Meanings embodied in nature point beyond nature to the mystery inherent in positioned codes and signs

Le pouvoir comme passion
View details
Notes: Together with a debate between Algirdas J. Greimas and Paul Ricœur that happened in 23.05.1989.
Annotation: Nous savons déchiffrer un propos que répresente de la passion mais savons-nous reconnaître un texte que manifeste de la passion sans la transcrite? La recherche sémiotique était parvenue à un point où il lui était absilumnet nécessaire de pouvoir observer cette inscription directe du vécu, du sensible dans la trame, d'un discours donné. L'expérience la plus pure consitait à partir d'un texte émotionnellement plat, dans son écriture, et cependant captateur, pour démontrer ce qu le travaillait en sous-main,nune qualité de présence qui pertubait le texte et le troublait en profondeur, alors qu'elle était insignifiée au niveau proprement linguistique: Le pouvouir comme passion est la première expérience de mise en évidence de phénomènes discursifs inarticuláres. We know how to decipher a statement that represents passion, but do we know how to recognize a text that manifests passion without transcribing it? Semiotic research had reached a point where it was absolutely necessary to be able to observe this direct inscription of the lived, of the sensitive in the framework of a given discourse. The purest experience consisted of starting from an emotionally flat text, in its writing, and yet captivating, to demonstrate what was working on it behind the scenes, a quality of presence that disturbed the text and troubled it deeply, while it was insignificant at the strictly linguistic level: Power as passion is the first experience of highlighting inarticulate discursive phenomena.

Signs of Life in the USA
- Dependent title
- Readings On Popular Culture For Writers
View details
Annotation: The transformation from a text-centred to an image-centred culture presents a certain challenge to writing teachers. How can such a textually based enterprise as writing instruction respond to a video-driven world? How are reading and writing related to seeing and hearing? Can the habits of critical thinking that are so central to the analytical tasks of academic writing be adapted to McLuhan's Brave New World? We have written Signs of Life in the U.S.A. because we believe not only that such bridges can be built but that building them represents our best hope for training a new generation of students in critical thinking and writing. Thus, while the goal of our text remains the traditional one of helping students become strong writers of argument and analysis, our method departs from convention by using printed texts to guide students in the analysis and interpretation of an unwritten world: The world of American popular culture, wherein images, often electronically conveyed, can be more important than words.

Annotation: The present work will examine the constitution of Tel Quel's multipositionality (Boltanski 1973: 3-26), or funtion as a geometric locus, as the social creation of a symbolic good that combined all signs of intellectual radicality characteristic of the period. My aim is to analyze Tel Quel as a relatively heterogenous and changing object by exploring in a specific context its constitution, ascension, and decline as an intellectual avant-garde.
