Parallel title: Parallel title: An Archetype of Chinese Ethics and Academic Ideology
Other title information: A Hermeneutico-Semiotic Study
Annotation: Intercultural philosophy does not take its starting point from the comparison of different cultures from a neutral point of view, it instead arises through the confrontation with certain features of another culture which distance the philosopher from his or her own tradition, compelling it to be regarded in a new way. In dealing with the origins of Confucian ethics, You-Zheng Li does exactly this. His extensive training in Western Hermeneutics and semiotics enables him to reformulate the set of ethical customs, rituals, rules and strategies formulated 2500 years ago in ancient China. In contrast to Western ethics, which are thoroughly penetrated by the divine commands of the Judeo-Christian tradition and mainly characterized by the search for the practical good and one's own happiness begun in Greek and Roman philosophy, Chinese ethics originated and developed largely outside the domains of religion and philosophy. In attempting to elaborate on the specific nature of these ethics, the author navigates between Scylla and Charybdis. He seeks to avoid the one extreme of merely repeating from the inside what has already been said, with its effective reduction of ethical theory to certain reflexes of practical life. Just as well, however, he tries to avoid the other extreme of measuring ancient traditions by external standards and therewith exchanging old prejudices for new ones. He much rather tries to elucidate the foundation of Chinese ethics by using a certain language and a certain method which, as only one language and one method among others, does not aver to exhaust the inherent sense and the efficacious demand of what has been or is still being lived out and practised.

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.

Towards a 'Natural' Narratology
View details
Annotation: In this ground breaking work of synthesis, Monika Fludernik combines insights from literary theory and linguistics to provide a challenging new theory of narrative. This book is both an historical survey and theoretical study, with the author drawing on an enormous range of examples from the earliest oral study to contemporary experimental fiction. She uses these examples to prove that recent literature, far from heralding the final collapse of narrative, represents the epitome of a centuries long developmental process.

Peirce's Semiotics Now

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

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

Origins of Semiosis
View details
Other title information: Sign Evolution in Nature and Culture
Annotation: The all-comprehensive scope set by the topic of Origins of Semiosis necessarily encompasses a great thematic diversity. The disciplinary horizon of the contributors to this volume is also highly diverse: it extends from anthropology to zoology and from linguistics to visual aesthetics. Unity in this diversity may be provided by the transdisciplinary framework of semiotics which guides the authors' explorations in the evolution of semiosis, even though the framework of this volume is by no means one of a unifying school of specific semiotic theory.
