The open work
View details
Notes: Translated by Anna Cancogni, introduction by David Robey
Annotation: More than twenty years after its original appearance in Italian, The Open Work remains significant for its powerful concept of "openness"--the artist's decision to leave arrangements of some constituents of a work to the public or to chance--and for its striking anticipation of two major themes of contemporary literary theory: the element of multiplicity and plurality in art, and the insistence on literary response as an interactive process between reader and text. The questions Umberto Eco raises, and the answers he suggests, are intertwined in the continuing debate on literature, art, and culture in general.

Annotation: Une analyse systématique et détailée des fines stratégies du secret et du désir de savoir à l'œvre entre les protagonistes de A la recherche du temps perdu, conduite à la lumière de la théorie sémiotique, et qui déviole, à travers le texte de Proust, la présence implicite d'une thérie et d'une esthéque de la connaisance. La prespective adoptée, que conduit à récuser toute coupure radicale entre discours litéraire et discours scientifique, apport une contribution originale à la réflexion sure les problèmes généraux de l'épistémologie des discours. A systematic and detailed analysis of the fine strategies of secrecy and the desire to know at work between the protagonists of In Search of Lost Time, conducted in the light of semiotic theory, and which unmasks, through Proust's text, the implicit presence of a theory and an aesthetic of knowledge. The perspective adopted, which leads to rejecting any radical break between literary and scientific discourse, makes an original contribution to the reflection on the general problems of the epistemology of discourses.

Semiotics and legal theory
View details
Annotation: Semiotics and Legal Theory is an exercise in exposition, comparison, criticism, and construction. Jackson takes two very different intellectual traditions - structuralist semiotics as represented by A.J. Greimas and modern (mainly positivist) legal theory as represented by Hart, MacCormick, Dworkin, and Kelsen and by juxtaposing them seeks to clarify and assess their respective semiotic presuppositions, in order to lay some foundations for a semiotically sensitive theory of law. This book is designed for both jurists and semioticians. To facilitate access across the disciplinary divide, Jackson provides an abstract at the head of each chapter, which serves as both a summary and a conclusion to each section.

Semiotics and the philosophy of language

Annotation: Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language comprehends the entire tradition of the doctrine of signs, threading its way through the symbolic and allegorical readings of the Holy Scriptures, the varying insights of the fields of philosophy and rhetoric, and into (and out of) the various positions of modern literary criticism. Individual chapters are devoted to the nature of signs; the theory of definition; the cognitive function of metaphors and symbols; mirror images, painting, film, and television; and the role of inference in the interpretation of texts

The Subject of Semiotics
View details
Annotation: Through the writings of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and others, the kindred disciplines of semiotics and structuralism have stirred enormous interest within European and American intellectual circles in recent years. With their focus on the ways in which signs, symbols, and cultural phenomena of all kinds convey meaning, these burgeoning theoretcial fields have had a special impact on the analysis of fil and literature. In this provocative book Kaja Silverman undertakes a new and challenging reading of recent semiotic and structuralist theory, arguing that films, novels, and poems cannot be studied in isolation from their viewers and readers.

What is Meaning?
View details
Other title information: Studies in the Development of Signifcance
Notes: Reprint of the edition London, 1903, with an Introductory essay by Gerrit Mannoury and a Preface by Achim Eschach.
Annotation: In "What is Meaning" (1903) the author elaborates on the fundamental tenets of her theory of sign, to which she gave the overall term significs . One of the main obstacles to an adequate theory of meaning, in Lady Welby s opinion, is the unfounded assumption of fixed sign meaning. "There is, strictly speaking, no such thing as the Sense of a word, but only the sense in which it is used the circumstances, state of mind, reference, universe of discourse belonging to it. The Meaning of a word is the intent which it is desired to convey the intention of the user. The Significance is always manifold, and intensifies its sense as well as its meaning, by expressing its importance, its appeal to us, its moment for us, its emotional force, its ideal value, its moral aspect, its universal or at least social range." This facsimile of the 1903 edition of "What is Meaning" is accompanied by an essay on "Significs as a Fundamental Science" by Achim Eschbach, and "A Concise History of Significs" by G. Mannoury.

Palimpsestes
- Dependent title
- la littérature au second degré
View details
Annotation: Un palimpseste est litéralement, un parchemin dont on a gratté la première inscription pour lui en substituer une autre, mais où cette opération n'a pas irrémédiablement effacé le texte primitif, en sorte qu'on peut y liter l'ancien sous le nouveau, comme par transparence. Cet état de choses montre, au figuré, qu'un texte peut toujours en cacher un autre ,ais qu'il le dissimule rarement tout à fait, et qu'il se prête le plus souvent à ine double lecture où se superposent, au moins un hypertexte et son hypotexte - ainsi, dit-on l'Ulysse de Joyce et l'Odysée d'Homère. J'entends ici par hypertextes toutes les œvres dérivées d'une œvre antérieure, part transformation, comme dans la parodie, ou par imitation, comme dans le pastiche. Mais pastiche et parodie ne sont que les manifestations à la fois les plus visibles et les plus mineures de cette hypertextualité, out littérature au second degré, qui s'écrit en lisant, et dont la place et l'action dans le champ littéraire - et un peu au-delà - sont généralement, et fâcheusement, méconnunes. Jëntreprends ici d'explorer ce territoire. Un texte peut toujours en lire un autre, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à la fin des textes. Celui-ci n'échappe pas à la règle : il l'expose et s'y expose. Lira bien qui lira le dernier. A palimpsest is literally a parchment from which the first inscription has been scratched out to replace it with another, but where this operation has not irremediably erased the original text, so that the old can be read under the new, as if by transparency. This state of affairs shows, figuratively, that a text can always hide another, but that it rarely conceals it completely, and that it most often lends itself to a double reading where at least one hypertext and its hypotext are superimposed - thus, we say, Joyce's Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey. I mean here by hypertexts all works derived from an earlier work, by transformation, as in parody, or by imitation, as in pastiche. But pastiche and parody are only the most visible and minor manifestations of this hypertextuality, a literature of the second degree, which is written by reading, and whose place and action in the literary field - and a little beyond - are generally, and unfortunately, unknown. I undertake here to explore this territory. One text can always read another, and so on until the end of the texts. This one does not escape the rule: it exposes it and exposes itself to it. He who reads last, will read well. (translated with Google translate)

The Dialogic Imagination by M. M. Bakhtin
View details
Other title information: Four essays
Annotation: These essays reveal Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975)—known in the West largely through his studies of Rabelais and Dostoevsky—as a philosopher of language, a cultural historian, and a major theoretician of the novel. The Dialogic Imagination presents, in superb English translation, four selections from Voprosy literatury i estetiki (Problems of literature and esthetics), published in Moscow in 1975. The volume also contains a lengthy introduction to Bakhtin and his thought and a glossary of terminology. Bakhtin uses the category "novel" in a highly idiosyncratic way, claiming for it vastly larger territory than has been traditionally accepted. For him, the novel is not so much a genre as it is a force, "novelness," which he discusses in "From the Prehistory of Novelistic Discourse." Two essays, "Epic and Novel" and "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel," deal with literary history in Bakhtin's own unorthodox way. In the final essay, he discusses literature and language in general, which he sees as stratified, constantly changing systems of subgenres, dialects, and fragmented "languages" in battle with one another.
