Parallel title: Parallel title: Greimas arti ir toli
Annotation: Algirdas Julien Greimas (born Algirdas Julius Greimas) is one the most prominent creators of semiotics who laid the foundations of the Paris School of Semiotics known all over the world. He was also a famous linguist who researched Lithuanian mythology. Algirdas Julien Greimas is one of the most prominent Lithuanians in the international world of science, in many aspects compared to Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis. The greatest influence on the life and works of Greimas came from French culture renowned for its science, literature and art. Nevertheless, the time spent in Lithuania was also significant. Greimas himself viewed Lithuanian and western (French) periods of his life as correlation between two cultures. Therefore, every moment of his life is important to us, each moment contributing to the whole picture and enriching his life. Neither Greimas' childhood nor his youth which is the genesis of intellectual and aesthetic signs is reviewed in literature. Various authors tend to start writing Greimas'biography starting from his years in Vytautas Magnus University. Professor Eero Tarasti, the president of the International Association for Semiotic Studies, offered me to prepare a work about Greimas' life in Lithuania. As I myself studied in Kupiškis and knew a lot of things about the Greimas family, I decided to look at Greimas'childhood period in Kupiškis. The sources I used in this work are as follows: Greimas' words about his childhood, national and personal archives, press of those days and stories told by those who knew the Greimas family.My experience with exceptionally gifted children in National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Art in Vilnius and consulting with famous scientist has helped me to discuss the genesis of intellectual and aesthetic signs in Greimas' biography. As for the form of the work, I have chosen to use the form of an exposition with elements of a poster presentation, which allowed me to participate in significant scientific forums in France, Finland, Russia and China. In Lithuania, in those places where Greimas lived, my exposition contributed to the studies of his biography, organisation of conferences and dedication to Greimas. As it turned out, the prestigious gymnasiums where Greimas studied in Šiauliai and Marijampolė established in 1851 and 1867 have raised about half (9 out of 20) of those who signed the Act of Independence of Lithuania on 16 February 1918 and 12 out of 100 most outstanding persons in Lithuania in a millennium. In this respect these two gymnasiums are the only ones in Lithuania. It should also be mentioned that Greimas attended lectures in Vytautas Magnus University by famous Lithuanian scientists Mykolas Romeris, Vladas Jurgutis, Vosylius Sezemanas and Jonas Bučas who later contributed to laying the foundation for the science of semiotics.

Lectures on the Epistemology of Semiotics
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: This book presents a functional view of semiotics considering language as a system of signs. In such a means- and ends-oriented perspective, the signs as meaning-bearers are detached, both in concrete and mental existence modes, from their meanings or objects of reference. Some relevant words on the genesis of the author’s contribution to the development of semiotic thought will also include his indebtedness to his preceptors, teachers, friends and colleagues. Preliminary outlines for their foundation have been developed since the late 197os and 1980s in the Department of General Linguistics at Wrocław. Subsequent work on the following theme continued in the Institute of English Philology at Opole and in the School of English at Poznań, over the last five years, has contributed to its present state.

Symbol i Muzyka
View details
Annotation: This book is an entry into the symbolicism of music. The book consists of three chapters. In the first, I deal with the concept of the symbol itself. I discuss its genesis, history changing understanding, and above all - it's functioning in contemporary thought in such fields as sociology, cultural anthropology, semiotics or semiology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and musicology. In the second chapter I present the problem of symbol and meaning in European music in a historical outline. The third chapter is my analysis of musical interpretations.

Semiosis and Catastrophes

Other title information: René Thom’s Semiotic Heritage
Annotation: The central concern of this volume is semiogenesis, i.e. the evolution and differentiation of meaningful («pregnant») forms in the field of symbolic systems – from bio-communication to language and cultural forms like music, art, architecture or urban forms. The basic questions are: How are meanings created and further differentiated? Where do they come from? What kind of forces drive their unfolding? How can complex cultural forms be understood based on simple morphodynamic principles? Applications concern the perception of forms by animals and humans, the categorization of forms e.g. in a lexicon, and predication or other complex symbolic behaviors which show up in grammar or in cultural artifacts like the unfolding of urban centers.

Annotation: Inside the pages of this book we have holographically integrated the human world genesis by "WORLD-LIGHT". It is the generative sign by which the colors were spread throughout the world, it is the sign of the creative "image and alikeness" by which the human being was granted the gift-power to love both his / her fellow beings, cosmos and God.

Other title information: A biophotonic approach to human (meta)physical fundamentals
Annotation: We could say that inside the pages of this book we have "holographically" integrated the whole semiosis of the "world genesis by sign". This sign is the "creative sign" by which the light colours were spread throughout the world and the signs of the "creative face and resemblance" by which the human being was granted the gift-power to love his / her fellow beings, the cosmos and God.
