Other title information: The Tradition of Ferdinand de Saussure
Annotation: The book is an in-depth presentation of the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure.

The book concerns the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure.

Greimas, and the extension of this theoretical framework to the understanding of communication and the social nature of semiotic systems. It emphasizes the operational aspects of semiotics and matters of methodology and techniques, including the initiative of quantitative analysis.

Russian Formalist Criticism
View details
Other title information: Four essays
Annotation: College English Russian formalists emerged from the Russian Revolution with ideas about the independence of literature. They enjoyed that independence until Stalin shut them down. By then they had produced essays that remain among the best defenses ever written for both literature and its theory. Included here are four essays representing key points in the formalists' short history. Victor Scklovsky's pathbreaking "Art as Technique" (1917) vindicates disorder in literary style. His 1921 essay on Tristram Shandy makes that eccentric novel the centerpiece for a theory of narrative. A section from Tomashevsky's "Thematics" (1925) inventories the elements of stories. In "The Theory of the 'Formal Method'" (1927) Boris Eichenbaum defends Russian formalism from many attacks. An able champion, he describes formalism's evolution, notes its major workers and works, clears away decayed axioms, and rescues literature from "primitive historicism" and other dangers. These essays set a course for literary studies that led to Prague structuralism, French semiotics, and postmodern poetics. Russian Formalist Criticism has been honored as a Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year by the American Library Association.

It provides a penetrating introduction to Charles S. Peirce's concept of the sign, as distinguished from Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistic theory. The author places Peircean semiotics in today's cultural setting. It thus accounts for our multicultural, intertextual, high-tech, postmodern scene, as a set of unifying ideas at the heart of which lies semiosis, the perpetual movement of signs

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.

Significs and Language
View details
Notes: With an introduction by H. W. Schmitz
Annotation: This is the facsimile 1911 reprint of Victoria Lady Welby’s very last publication Significs and Language. The Articulate form of our Expressive and Interpretative resources. This volume also includes two major essays from the author’s hands, ‘Meaning and Metaphor’ (reprinted from The Monist 3:4, 1893), and ‘Sense, Meaning and Interpretation’ (reprinted from Mind 5:17 and 18, 1896), and a selection of several noteworthy and unpublished essays. In the introduction to this volume the editor H. Walter Schmitz exemplifies how Lady Welby developed her significs in discussion and cooperation with numerous highly divergent scientists and scholars of her times; how her ideas influenced other scholars in Europe and the US; and how significs sank to near oblivion and was finally recovered.
