Homo Homini Lupus?
View details
Other title information: spre o semiotică a discursului politic
Annotation: "Homo homini lupus", the famous line of Plautus, univocally interpreted by philosophers such as Bacon, Hobbes, Hume and others, still suggests that man is the only "animal" that attacks his fellow man for reasons other than instinctive ones. At the same time, however, the greed that turns some people into beasts seems to be balanced by opposite attitudes, synthesised by Seneca in the principle "Homo res sacra homini". Between these extremes marked by tears and love, the entire tense history of the human being unfolded. "Quo vadis, homine?", this is the question to which, in order to extinguish potential tensions, the politician owes him an answer, valuing the science of reading the signs that foreshadow the future...

La Musique et Les Signes
View details
Other title information: Précis de sémiotique musicale
Notes: Edited and expanded edition partly of the book Signs of Music (2002), added is a then not published text about synesthesia.
Annotation: This volume is intended to serve as a "practical guide" to musical semiotics, that is, to the study of music as sign and communication. It includes both a history of this relatively new discipline as well as new contributions of my own invention. The book was originally much longer, but some chapters, such as those dealing with Wagner, have been deleted, and reserved for another volume. I hope that what is retained here will encourage readers, whether they are students of music, musicology, or semiotics, more established researchers, or inquiring minds of any kind, to learn more about musical semiotics. The field is currently undergoing fascinating processes of formation, growth, and diversity.

Music and the Arts
- Edition
- 1 edition

Other title information: Volume II
Annotation: Music, in some forms, declares itself autonomous and absolute. But semiotics has taught us that no sign system can function alone, isolated from other texts. Correspondences and interrelationships of arts have always been fertile soil from which musical meanings to grow. Thus, among the topics of these proceedings, one finds music and painting, ekphrasis, interpretation, semiotic theory of music, pragmatism, aesthetics, topics, narrativity, music and media, opera, cinema, literature, music history, hermeneutics, dance and music psychology. Musical Signification is a world-wide research project that tries to open new avenues for an innovative science of music as a meaningful practice throughout the ages.

The Logos of the Bios 1
- Dependent title
- Contributions to the Foundation of a three-leveled Biosemiotics
View details
Annotation: This book opens a new perspective on living nature through the philosophical foundation of biology as an understanding social science. The contributions integrate the pragmatic turn of the theory of science discussion, replacing the solus ipse subject of knowledge of objectivism by the intersubjective - communicative character of thought, experience and research. A three-leveled biosemiotics investigates rule-governed sign-mediated interactions within and between organisms of all organismic kingdoms. This approach underlines the complementarity of syntactic, pragmatic and semantic rules as a precondition for adequately investigating the languagelike structure of the genetic code and the communicative organization of interacting living nature.

Other title information: semiotica iesirii din păcatul originar
Annotation: To outline a semiotics of the original sin of falling into the temptation of lying, disobedience and betrayal, a sin whose signs still disturb the life of the human being, is the primary goal of this book. To come out of the darkness of error, to enter the light of the meaning found through the image and likeness of the Primordial Truth, is defined as an aspiration following a trial given with joy to all who are open to wisdom and love.

Other title information: virtues and vices of vocal translation
Annotation: Vocal translation is an old art, but the interpretive feeling, skill and craft have expanded into a relatively new area in translation studies. Vocal translation is the translation of the poetic discourse in the hybrid art of the musicopoetic (or poeticomusical) forms, shapes and skills. This symbiotic construct harmonizes together the conflicting roles of music and language in face-to-face singing performances. The artist sings in an accurate but free flow, but sung in a language different from the original lyrics.
