Other title information: Popular Music, Politics and Social Protest
Annotation: This monograph offers a unique analysis of social protest in popular music. It presents theoretical descriptions, methodological tools, and an approach that encompasses various fields of musicology, cultural studies, semiotics, discourse analysis, media studies, and political and social sciences. The author argues that protest songs should be taken as a musical genre on their own. He points out that the general approach, when discussing these songs, has been so far that of either analyzing the lyrics or the social context. For some reason, the music itself has been often overlooked. This book attempts to fill this gap. Its central thesis is that a complete overview of these repertoires demands a thorough interaction among contextual, lyrical, and musical elements together. To accomplish this, the author develops a novel model that systemizes and investigates musical repertoires. The model is then applied to four case studies, those, too, chosen among topicsthat are little (or not at all) frequented by scholars.

Tracing the Semiotic Boundaries of Politics
View details
Annotation: The first versions of some of the articles in this book were originally presented at the Workshop of Semiotics of the Colloquium on Language and Politics, University of Helsinki, December 12-15, 1988, but most of the articles were begun only after the workshop. The articles are intended to be representative of the current multiplicity of perspectives in the field of language and politics in general and of the boundaries of semiotic studies on language and politics in particular. Here, both "semiotics" and "politics" are used in their broadest sense.

Intermittences du sens

- 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.

Pandora and Occam
View details
Other title information: on the Limits of Language and Literature
Annotation: Evoking Pandora and Occam as metaphoric corner posts in an argument about language as discourse, Horst Ruthrof brings analytic philosophy to bear on issues of Continental philosophy, with attention to linguistic, semiological, and semiotic concerns. Instead of regarding meanings as guaranteed by definitions, the author argues that linguistic expressions are schemata directing us more or less loosely toward the activation of nonlinguistic sign systems. Ruthrof draws up a heuristic hierarchy of discourses, with literary expression at the top, descending through communication-reduced reference and speech acts to formal logic and digital communication at the bottom.

The Matrix of Narrative
View details
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.
