Intermittences du sens
- Dependent title
- études sémiotiques

Annotation: Les intermittences du sens, c'est ici, tout d'abord, une pluralité d'pbjects en tous genres (romans, nouvelles ou poèmes, en françauis ou en anglais; discours littéraires, échanges de lettres, bribes de conversation courante; pratiques quotidienne ou objets esthétiques) que traverse et que scande le retour d'une même question: celle de la signification de son surgissement, de ses modes de manifestation et même, peut-on dire, de ses agissements. C'est aussi de point en point et de part en part, le jeu réglé des singularités et des récurrences, l'alternance des espèces constituées et des morphologies en devenir, l'entrejeu des discontinuités et des enchaînements, sur le support, el la dynamique des places et des forces. C'est, dans l'épaisseur des textes, l'échange réversible entre l'espace vectorisé oû les figures se déploient et le substrat figural que y imprime sa prosodie et ses contours. C'est enfin et surtout à la caçon de l'accompagnement qui lie la partition, l'interrogation sur le ses du sens: non pas tant sa saisie que sa poursuite et plutôt que sa fuite, sa fugue. The intermittences of meaning are here, first of all, a plurality of objects of all kinds (novels, short stories or poems, in French or in English; literary discourses, exchanges of letters, snippets of everyday conversation; daily practices or aesthetic objects) that cross and that are punctuated by the return of the same question: that of the meaning of its emergence, of its modes of manifestation and even, one might say, of its actions. It is also from point to point and from one end to the other, the regulated play of singularities and recurrences, the alternation of constituted species and morphologies in the making, the interplay of discontinuities and sequences, on the support, and the dynamics of places and forces. It is, in the thickness of the texts, the reversible exchange between the vectorized space where the figures are deployed and the figural substrate that its prosody and its contours imprint there. It is finally and above all the way of accompaniment which links the score, the questioning of the meaning: not so much its grasp as its pursuit and rather than its escape, its fugue.

One of the aims was the presentation and systematization of these data, and from this point of view the book may be considered as a research monograph. This book also has a goal to resaon from the specific to the general, from the case study to a theoretical conception of the semiotics of macro-environments.

Name, Hero, Icon
View details
Other title information: Semiotics of Nationalism through Heroic Biography
Annotation: The main focus of this project, when it was undertaken in 1987, was on name as sign and hero as icon. Since the completion of the work in 1988, dramatic changes have occurred in the world, particularly in Eastern Europe. Through them, one may observe the unpredictable power of signs and symbols and their profound impact on the collective psyche. Masses of people are involved in the destruction of the old icons and the formation of new ones. Here our semiotic lenses are focused on the role of symbolic, on the power of the name-sign, and on the display of its semiotic constant.

Reader Response to Literature
View details
Other title information: To Empirical Dimension
Annotation: The research reported here lays the groundwork for further empirical investigations of reader response. It also provides new insights into how worlds and structures relate to and reproduce our inner and outer space, how the choice of text and critical approach can predetermine responses, and how interpretation depends in part on the cultural forces we reflect and reproduce. This volume does not present a more or less random sample of texts and studies dealing with reader response. Rather, the writers were selected because of their empirical expertise, and because they approached the study of reader response from a perspective which would provide possible answers as to the nature and pattern of reader response to literature.

The semiotics of theater
View details
Notes: Originally published in three volumes as Semiotik des Theaters (1983)
Annotation: The theater is a particularly privileged semiotic object. Unlike literature or painting which operate within a single sign-system, theater combines a variety of sign-systems - language and gesture, costume and decoration, music and lighting - each of which generates meaning according to different principles. This complexity creates special challenges for understanding theater as a meaning-generating system. Erika Fischer-Lichte's book examines each of the sign-systems of the theater and investigates the ways they relate to one another. The result is a brilliant articulation of a semiotics of theater

Approaching Theatre

Notes: Originally published as Théâtre, modes d'approche (1987)
Annotation: This book is concerned with the analysis of the theatrical event and of all the elements that make up a perdormance – the text, the actor, the space, the spectator, the social circumstances. Here, an international group of scholars approaches theatre – viewed in its traditional guise as a physical entertainment of a text before spectators – from a variety of directions and using different methodologies. While there is a general orientation toward semiotic analysis, historical, sociological, and anthropological approaches are represented as well.

Postmodernism, or, The cultural logic of late capitalism
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: In his most wide-ranging and accessible work, Fredric Jameson argues that postmodernism is the cultural response to the latest systemic change in world capitalism. He seeks here to crystallize a definition of a term which has taken on so many meanings that it has virtually lost all historical significance. He presents an extensive discussion on the cultural landscape—both ‘high’ and ‘low’—of postmodernity, evaluating the political fortunes of the new term and surveying postmodern developments in a range of different fields—from market ideology to architecture, from painting and instalment art to contemporary punk film, from video art and high literature to deconstruction. Finally, Jameson revaluates the concept of postmodernism in light of postmodern critiques of totalization and historical narratives—from the notion of decadence to the dynamics of small groups, from religious fundamentalism to hi-tech science fiction—while touching on the nature of contemporary cultural critique and the possibilities of cognitive mapping in the present multinational world system. This provocative book will be fundamental to all future discussions of postmodernism.

The Empire of Signs

Other title information: Semiotic Essays on Japanese culture
Annotation: Like Roland Barthe's well-known book, 'The Empire of Signs', from which its title is taken, the present volume contains essays dealing with certain aspects of Japanese culture. Also like those contained in Barthes' book, the essays in the present volume are generally characterized by a mildly semioitc orientation, which means that while the authors may or may not be explicitly conscious of semiotic formulation, they are all (at least in the editor's view) interested in, and concerned with signifying (or meaning-generating) activity.

Beyond Goffman
View details
Other title information: Studies on Communication, Institution, and Social Interaction
Notes: Based on a conference held Dec. 1987 at the Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysore, India.
Annotation: This book is a collection of original articles which endeavours to expand the scope of the theoretical views and empirical research Erving Goffman contributed to the social sciences. Most chapters take a critical stand toward his ideas while still recognizing his fundamental contribution to the field. Hence, the title Beyond Goffman. The book is divided into two parts. The first concentrates upon theory and explores Goffman's intellectual heritage (symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, the notion of social situation, the relation between micro and macro levels of analysis) and also examines the way his work relates to contemporary theoretical movements (semiotics, postmodernism, deconstructionism, and feminism). The second part of the book probes the insights found in his diverse empirical studies and expands the domain of their applications.

Det Dialogiska Ordet

Annotation: Alla gångbara cynismer och sofismer om konstnärliga schabloners ofrånkomlighet och subjektets undergång i vår komplicerade massmediala värld etc sopas bort av Bachtins enkla uppmaning att konsten på allvar, att svara på det tilltal som riktas mot en: "För det som jag förstått och upplevt i konsten är jag skyldig att ansvara med mitt liv, så att allt det som jag upplevt och förstått inte skall vara verkningslöst i livet." All common cynicisms and sophisms about the inevitability of artistic templates and the demise of the subject in our complicated mass media world, etc., are swept away by Bakhtin's simple call to take art seriously, to respond to the appeal that is made to one: "For what I have understood and experienced in art, I am obliged to be responsible with my life, so that all that I have experienced and understood shall not be ineffective in life."

Ideology and Modern culture
- Dependent title
- Critical Social Theory in the Era of Mass Communication
View details
Annotation: In this major work, informed by materials from several disciplines and theoretical orientations, the author develops a distinctive new account of the theory of ideology and relates it to the analysis of culture and mass communication in modern societies.In the two centuries since is first appeared in France, the concept of ideology has undergone many transformations. It has been twisted, reformulated, recast, and finally filtered back into the everyday language of social and political life. Although there is much that is misleading and erroneous in the traditions of ideology, the author shows that it still defines a terrain of analysis that remains central to contemporary social sciences and continues to be the site of lively theoretical debate.The key to his analysis is what he terms the "mediazation" of the culture—the general process by which the transmission of symbolic forms becomes increasingly reliant on the technical and institutional apparatuses of the media industries. Building on the work of Geertz and others, the author asserts that symbolic forms are embedded in such structured social contexts as power relations, forms of conflict, and inequalities in the distribution of resources, and that any discussion of mass communication must embrace its political as well as epistemological content.

Other title information: Family Systems and Semiotics of Story
Annotation: The study which follows proposes a reconstruction of semiotic theory of narrative in light of certain current accounts – psychoanalytic, Proppian, feminist, deconstructive – of the story-telling process. Starting from classical semiotic assumptions – that fictional narrative constitutes a discursive field rather than simply a collocation of texts –, the discussion isolates relational patterns informing various modellings of the story process, outlines a framework for integrating these into a matrix of combinational possibilities and suggests on that basis some vantage points from which to address a number of still pending issues within narrative studies.
