Other title information: vysokoškolské učebné texty
Annotation: University teaching texts provide students of the study program Culturology with a practically modeling entry, or rather an overview of artistic communication and interpretation, which will guide them through several examples of reception and communication practice. The recapitulation sequence documents the story of a specific 2022/2023 semester cycle, partly of a monothematic nature. They are united by the concretization of one model of artistic communication and interpretation (chapter no. 1 Teaching texts/instruction sheets on reception aesthetics). The starting point is reception aesthetics honed and conceptually profiled at the Institute of Literary and Artistic Communication of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Bratislava in Nitra, from which the texts of individual chapters are subsequently (referentially) created, embedded in the university pedagogical practice of the study of Culturology, and applied as a motif (chapter no. 2 Journeys of one semester cycle).

Sociocultural crossings and borders
View details
Other title information: musical microhistories
Annotation: In the current global world the interaction between cultures penetrates into musical practices and discourses, radically affecting the sociocultural imagination and altering the established shapes of cultural territories. Yet the history of music demonstrates that the dynamics of cultural encounters and segregations has always been a key factor in the formation of individual and collective identities and in the understanding of other cultures. Cultural expansions and, conversely, the trajectories of displacement of cultural expression are to a varied extent affected by the political, economic, technological and other dimensions of dissemination of musical practices and traditions. In the modern age, the extramusical factors are of equal significance to textual (creation) and contextual (dissemination and reception) configurations of sociocultural interactions. The understanding of sociocultural interactions and borders plays an important role in the appropriation of the musical past and the revival of cultural memory.

Other title information: Reunification Pathways and Outcomes for Foster Children
Annotation: Reunification is a primary goal of foster care systems and the most common permanency planning decision. It is defined as the return of children placed in protective care to the home of their birth family and used to describe the act of restoring a child in out-of-home care back to the biological family. Yet reunification decision-making and the process of reintegrating children into birth families remains under researched. This Brief takes a look at family reunification knowledge and research in Australia where there is evidence that most children placed in protective care are eventually reunited with their birth parents. It explores how a knowledge of reunification decision making and outcomes can contribute to strengthening practice and informing policy formulation and program planning in Child Welfare.

The Edusemiotics of Images
View details
Other title information: Essays on the Art-Science of Tarot
Notes: a printed version
Annotation: Semetsky’s new book offers a bracing account of Tarot semiotics in view of its deep significance for educational experience. Analyzing the symbolic language of Tarot images that express the intimations of the unconscious, she invites readers to explore novel ways of learning about the nature of ourselves and the world we are situated in. Combining thorough research with an accessible style, this groundbreaking book is essential reading for present and future generations of practitioners, academics and students across disciplines. Pia Brînzeu, Professor of English Literature and Vice-Rector of the Universityof Timis¸oara, Romania; author of Corridors of Mirrors. A sequel to the author’s Re-Symbolization of the Self: Human Development and Tarot Hermeneutic and Semiotics Education Experience, Semetsky’s new book presents the Tarot sign-system as a school of ethical living. Bringing the philosophies of Peirce, Deleuze, Dewey, Whitehead and Gebser in a dialogue with the cutting-edge science of coordination dynamics, she grounds the art of Tarot in the logic of signs acting across nature, culture and human mind. Building on Noddings’ “maternal factor”, Semetsky demonstrates how the lessons embodied in Tarot symbolism recover the feminine value of relations and contribute to Self~Other integration. Such is the message of Tarot images. The Image is the Message. Igor Klyukanov, Professor of Communication, Eastern Washington University, USA; editor, Russian Journal of Communication; author of A Communication Universe: Manifestations of Meaning, Stagings of Significance. Semetsky’s amalgamation of the techniques of visual communication with the emerging field of edusemiotics is an absolute masterpiece in transdisciplinarity. By forging diverse strands of inquiry into an overall model of how images enhance learning, Semetsky’s new book provokes us to take a fresh look at iconic information and is a required reading for everyone who is engaged with the artand science of visual semiotics at the intersection of nature and culture. Marcel Danesi, Professor of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada; editor-in-chief, Semiotica; author of The Quest for Meaning: A Guide to Semiotic Theory and Practice. Finally. An in-depth look at Tarot from within the field of semiotics, a perspective that had been inexplicably overlooked until now. As a language of exile from language, Tarot cards are silent words that became images. Here is a book that turns our thirst for symbols into a learning tool. The sign sings in Inna Semetsky’s work.

Other title information: semiotiikan teoreettisen ja soveltavan tutkimuksen näkökulmia
Annotation: The work considers the fracture and transition of signs and texts - and thus also meanings - into each other. Meaning is always formed towards the future. The use of signs to convey and present meanings is already a productive process. Meaning inevitably becomes more than what is conveyed or presented. The production of meanings is also based on various structural elements, rules and practices. Static and permanent as well as dynamic and developing are in constant interaction with each other. The articles in the work represent the rich semiotics of the early 21st century. The approaches and the theories that define them are united by the glow of comprehensive research, in which the differences between sign categories and systems are understood as task-specific and contextual, not essential.

Annotation: Portraits is a work in which culture, art and science are approached through the persons who practice them. Some are famous men and women in the Finnish context, from Mannerheim to Ville Vallgren and Anna Sahlstén, while others are international celebrities from Ludvig II and George Sand to Umberto Eco. Memoirs, documents, letters and anecdotes about the lives of the lesser-known are passed on to those who have not known them. Various life works attract the author to intellectual reflections and analyses. But through them the author also draws his own profile as a semiotician, musician and scholar.

Music and the Arts
- Edition

Other title information: Volume II
Annotation: Music, in some forms, declares itself autonomous and absolute. But semiotics has taught us that no sign system can function alone, isolated from other texts. Correspondences and interrelationships of arts have always been fertile soil from which musical meanings to grow. Thus, among the topics of these proceedings, one finds music and painting, ekphrasis, interpretation, semiotic theory of music, pragmatism, aesthetics, topics, narrativity, music and media, opera, cinema, literature, music history, hermeneutics, dance and music psychology. Musical Signification is a world-wide research project that tries to open new avenues for an innovative science of music as a meaningful practice throughout the ages.

Systems of musical sense
- Dependent title
- essays on the analysis, semiotics, and hermeneutics of music
View details
Annotation: Systems of Musical Sense breathes new life into the field of music semiotics in its intuitive mix of logical rigor and hermeneutical interpretation and unique approach to paradigmatic analysis (Ruwet, Nattiez) and established theories of tinal music (Schoenberg). More significantly, te authors lay out an entirely new and innovative theory in their concept of musical homestasis, a phenomenon closely related to the fundamental law of physics which states that all things set in motion, organic and inorganic, tend to return to their initial point of rest. In tonal music, which also incorporates teology, this can take place at different levels, embodied by various parameters. The sensitive analyses here demonstrate ramifications of this axiom and cast new light on the structuring and effects de sens of tinal genres ranging in diversity from Bach chorales to Wagnerian opera. The culmination of mera tha a decade of research by this tea of widely published music scholars, the book is also a starting point: cognitivists, theorists, musicologists, and others can use the analytic methos "as is", develop it further, or transform it.The systems unvailed here need not be confined to tonal, "common-practice" art music. As universal axiom at least as dependable as the gestaltists "law of good continuation", the theory of homeostasis reveals new dimensions in earlier musical style and thos of more contemporary vintage.

Live Samba
- Dependent title
- Analysis and Interpretation of Brazilian Pagode
View details
Annotation: Live Samba takes as its main topic the pagode movement, which apperead in the 1980s as a re-invention of the samba tradition. Deeply grounded in the most idiosyncratic musical patterns of samba, pagode countered the hegemony of the samba-schools and their media appeal. Pagode, too, became a major commercial success. It appeared in a transitional period, at the moment the music industry was shifting its focus towards lowe classes of the population. As a result, pagode and other local-based styles led the way to a recoinfiguration of Brazilian music. The transitional nature of this moment is reflected in the ambivalent nature of tpagode meanings. Those meanings were firmly attached to the local sphere, while at the same time open to communocation with translocal levels. In Live Samba, the author analyses pagode as a practice comprising both musical traits and symbolic associations with other spheres of Brazilian culture. The book looks at pagode songs through the frames of the samba tradition, of Brazilian society, of the commodity environment, and of musical signification, and it provides an introductory survey of samba and of the Brazilian music indurstry.

The Perception of the Environment
View details
Other title information: Essays in livelihood, dwelling and skill
Annotation: In this work Tim Ingold offers a persuasive new approach to understanding how human beings perceive their surroundings. He argues that what we are used to calling cultural variation consists, in the first place, of variations in skill. Neither innate nor acquired, skills are grown, incorporated into the human organism through practice and training in an environment. They are thus as much biological as cultural. To account for the generation of skills we have therefore to understand the dynamics of development. And this in turn calls for an ecological approach that situates practitioners in the context of an active engagement with the constituents of their surroundings. The twenty-three essays comprising this book focus in turn on the procurement of livelihood, on what it means to ‘dwell’, and on the nature of skill, weaving together approaches from social anthropology, ecological psychology, developmental biology and phenomenology in a way that has never been attempted before. The book is set to revolutionise the way we think about what is ‘biological’ and ‘cultural’ in humans, about evolution and history, and indeed about what it means for human beings – at once organisms and persons – to inhabit an environment. The Perception of the Environment will be essential reading not only for anthropologists but also for biologists, psychologists, archaeologists, geographers and philosophers.

Intermittences du sens
- Dependent title
- études sémiotiques
View details
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.
