Systems of musical sense
- Dependent title
- essays on the analysis, semiotics, and hermeneutics of music
View details
Annotation: Systems of Musical Sense breathes new life into the field of music semiotics in its intuitive mix of logical rigor and hermeneutical interpretation and unique approach to paradigmatic analysis (Ruwet, Nattiez) and established theories of tinal music (Schoenberg). More significantly, te authors lay out an entirely new and innovative theory in their concept of musical homestasis, a phenomenon closely related to the fundamental law of physics which states that all things set in motion, organic and inorganic, tend to return to their initial point of rest. In tonal music, which also incorporates teology, this can take place at different levels, embodied by various parameters. The sensitive analyses here demonstrate ramifications of this axiom and cast new light on the structuring and effects de sens of tinal genres ranging in diversity from Bach chorales to Wagnerian opera. The culmination of mera tha a decade of research by this tea of widely published music scholars, the book is also a starting point: cognitivists, theorists, musicologists, and others can use the analytic methos "as is", develop it further, or transform it.The systems unvailed here need not be confined to tonal, "common-practice" art music. As universal axiom at least as dependable as the gestaltists "law of good continuation", the theory of homeostasis reveals new dimensions in earlier musical style and thos of more contemporary vintage.

Movement and Poetic Rhythm
- Dependent title
- Uncovering the Musical Signification of Poetic Discourse via The Temporal Dimension of the Sign
View details
Annotation: The musical sense in both poetry and music is fundamentally temporal. The question is not whether music is a language or whether language is music, but rather how the 'musicality' of language signifies. The musical sense of poetry is not only heard but it is also felt. In order to deal with these problems the author, Drina Hocevar, from Venezuela, has elaborated a highly original model. She tries to understand the temporal movement as a generative process, deeply rooted in the ontology of our being.

Other title information: A biophotonic approach to human (meta)physical fundamentals
Annotation: We could say that inside the pages of this book we have "holographically" integrated the whole semiosis of the "world genesis by sign". This sign is the "creative sign" by which the light colours were spread throughout the world and the signs of the "creative face and resemblance" by which the human being was granted the gift-power to love his / her fellow beings, the cosmos and God.

Translation translation
View details
Annotation: Translation Translation contributes to current debate on the question of translation dealt with in an interdisciplinary perspective, with implications not only of a theoretical order but also of the didactic and the practical orders. In the context of globalization the question of translation is fundamental for education and responds to new community needs with reference to Europe and more extensively to the international world.In its most obvious sense translation concerns verbal texts and their relations among different languages. However, to remain within the sphere of verbal signs, languages consist of a plurality of different languages that also relate to each other through translation processes. Moreover, translation occurs between verbal languages and nonverbal languages and among nonverbal languages without necessarily involving verbal languages. Thus far the allusion is to translation processes within the sphere of anthroposemiosis.But translation occurs among signs and the signs implicated are those of the semiosic sphere in its totality, which are not exclusively signs of the linguistic-verbal order. Beyond anthroposemiosis, translation is a fact of life and invests the entire biosphere or biosemiosphere, as clearly evidenced by research in “biosemiotics”, for where there is life there are signs, and where there are signs or semiosic processes there is translation, indeed semiosic processes are translation processes. According to this approach reflection on translation obviously cannot be restricted to the domain of linguistics but must necessarily involve semiotics, the general science or theory of signs. In this theoretical framework essays have been included not only from major translation experts, but also from researchers working in different areas, in addition to semiotics and linguistics, also philosophy, literary criticism, cultural studies, gender studies, biology, and the medical sciences. All scholars work on problems of translation in the light of their own special competencies and interests.
