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.

- Philosophical Problems in the Comparative Study of Culture
View details
Annotation: This book surveys theoretical controversies in anthropology that revolve around reconciling the objective description of culture with the influence of inquirer interests and conceptions. It relates them to the discussions by followers of W.V. Quine who see the problems of anthropological inquiry as indicative of conceptual problems in the basic assumptions operative in the discipline, and in the study of language in general. Feleppa offers a revised view of the nature and function of translation in anthropology that gives a plausible account of the problems that traditional semantics introduces into anthropology, while avoiding the severe methodological import Quine envisions.

The iconography of landscape
View details
Annotation: The Iconography of Landscape draws together fourteen scholars from diverse disciplines across the humanities and social sciences to explicate the status of landscape as a cultural image, 'a pictorial way of representing, structuring or symbolising surroundings'. By applying the art-historical method of iconography - interpreting levels of meaning in human artifacts - to landscapes on paper or canvas, in literary form or on its ground, its contributors show how landscape is an important mode of human signification, informed by, and itself informing, social, cultural and political issues. The range of examples is wide in terms of medium, period and place. It covers poetry and promotional literature, architectural design and urban ceremonial, maps and paintings. The historical periods discussed include sixteenth-century Italy, eighteenth-century England, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scotland and twentieth-century Canada. The book is introduced by the editors' discussion of the meanings of landscape and of the iconographic method in the context of contemporary theoretical and methodological debates on culture and society

Other title information: actes de la décade tenue au Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle du 4 au 14 août 1983
Annotation: Fruit d'une décade tenue au Centre culturel de Cerisy en 1983, l'ouvrage réunit une quinzaine de contributions que sont autant de signes d'ouverture de la part d'une discipline en cours d'évolution. La mise en question porte à la fois sur les postulats (philosophiques et épistemologiques) de la sémiotique, sur ses méthodes (notament face à de noveaux domaines d'investigation comme la musique ou l'architecture) et sur ses enjeus (en particulier quant au status du "sujet" - suje d'énonciation, suject "analytique", sujet de l'interaction sociale). Avec une importante intervention d'A.J. Greimas, que répond ici, sur un ton quasi improvisé, aux questions de l'assistance. Débat avec Paul Ricœur.. The result of a decade held at the Cerisy Cultural Center in 1983, the book brings together some fifteen contributions that are signs of openness on the part of a discipline in the process of evolution. The questioning concerns both the postulates (philosophical and epistemological) of semiotics, its methods (notably in the face of new areas of investigation such as music or architecture) and its challenges (in particular regarding the status of the "subject" - subject of enunciation, "analytical" subject, subject of social interaction). With an important intervention by A.J. Greimas, who answers here, in an almost improvised tone, the questions of the audience. Debate with Paul Ricœur. (Translated with Google translate)
