Other title information: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language

Annotation: Beyond the Symbol Model: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language presents arguments on several sides of the contemporary debate over the representational nature of language. Contributors include philosophers, linguists, psychologists, semioticians, and communication theorists from the U.S., Canada, Britain, Northern Ireland, and Israel. The chapters respond to the argument that language can no longer be viewed as a system of signs or symbols, and that a post-semiotic account can be developed from the recognition that language is first and foremost constitutive articulate contact.

The Romantic Irony of Semiotics

Other title information: Friedrich Schlegel and the Crisis of Representation

Annotation: It is a consequence of the ways in which problems in philosophizing about language have currently come to be dominated by semiotic issues that we now, more than ever, tend to study language as some form of evocation of the world. This book, grounded in this global perspective, may be read as an attempt to answer the question: what sort of picture of the world is irony? The overall response that we arrive at is that the discourse of ironic consciousness is a (self-) reflexive engagement with the world rather than any unilateral objective representation of it.
