Un'estetica psicofisiologica

Biology / Biosemiotics Armando Editore 9788869922787 Available

View details

Annotation: This book, in this re-edition, contains a broad update of the research on the topic of prenatal styles. What is proposed here is a psychophysiological aesthetics and at the same time a semiotics that provides tools to diagnose "senseless" pathological behaviors as symptoms of an obsessive or regressive condition corresponding to a certain prenatal evolutionary phase. The volume is aimed at a wide and varied audience. In particular, it is proposed as a training tool for teachers of verbal and non-verbal expressive disciplines, for teachers and students of humanistic disciplines, for educators, animators, community assistants and health personnel.

Cultural Implications of Biosemiotics

Paul Cobley

Edition
1 edition

Biology / Biosemiotics Springer Dordrecht 9789402408577 Available

View details

Annotation: This is the first book to consider the major implications for culture of the new science of biosemiotics. The volume is mainly aimed at an audience outside biosemiotics and semiotics, in the humanities and social sciences principally, who will welcome elucidation of the possible benefits to their subject area from a relatively new field. The book is therefore devoted to illuminating the extent to which biosemiotics constitutes an ‘epistemological break’ with ‘modern’ modes of conceptualizing culture. It shows biosemiotics to be a significant departure from those modes of thought that neglect to acknowledge continuity across nature, modes which install culture and the vicissitudes of the polis at the centre of their deliberations. The volume exposes the untenability of the ‘culture/nature’ division, presenting a challenge to the many approaches that can only produce an understanding of culture as a realm autonomous and divorced from nature.

Companion to European Heritage Revivals

Edited by Linde Egberts | Koos Bosma

Culture SpringerOpen 9783319077697 Available

View details

Annotation: This Companion to European Heritage Revivals offers inspiration and new ideas to those who want to engage a large, international audience in activities which bring the past to life. It offers a critical examination of the field's basic concepts and discusses a vast array of 'heritage revival tools', including games, historical re-enactments, 3D-visualisations, films, television documentaries, spatial designs and, most importantly, international heritage routes. Through many case studies, this book demonstrates how various aspects of heritage can be effectively presented by linking historical places and landscapes in a single revival to create a multifaceted but coherent whole.

Obrazy dźwiękowe muzyki unistycznej

Krzystof Szwajgier

Music Akademia Muzyczna 9788387182779 Available

View details

Other title information: inspiracja malarska w twórczości Zygmunta Krauzego

Annotation: Zygmunt Krauze is the founder of a new current in art: unistic (unitary) music. He developed this concept in the first period of his artistic work, inspired by the unistic paintings of Władysław Strzemiński. Traces of this style are also detectable in Krauze’s later post-unistic works. Unistic music is characterised by a paradoxical unity in diversity. Most of the composer’s statements collected in this paper refer to specific features of unism in music. Other, more general comments concern the essence of music, the composer’s personal stance, the creative process, the autonomy of the composer, the audience and the performers, etc. Two longer texts by Zygmunt Krauze have been quoted in full. One can be considered as a unistic manifesto, while the other is a kind of personal credo.

General Semiotics Hadès | Benjamins 2905572051 Available

View details

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)
