Symbol i Muzyka

Leszek Polony

Music Akademia Muzyczna w Krakowie 9788362743018 Available

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.

Other title information: Augmented edition with a new preface

Annotation: The primary task of literary theory, Jonathan Culler asserts in the new edition of his classic in this field, is not to illuminate individual literary works but to explain the system of literary signification - the rules and conventions that determine a reader's understanding of a text and that make literary communication possible. In this wide-ranging book, he investigates the possibilities of a semiotics of literature.

Semiological Reduction

M. C. Dillon

General Semiotics State University of New York Press 079142376X Available

View details

Other title information: a critique of the deconstructionist movement in postmodern thought

Annotation: This book interprets Derrida and looks beyond deconstructionism. It is a critique that identifies a pervasive flaw in Derrida's thinking: the semiological reduction that permeates deconstructionist theory and postmodernism in general. The critique focuses on Derrida, but its conclusions may be applied to other major figures in the postmodern tradition who espouse the variant of Saussurean semiology that reduces all meaning to the signification of signs. This book challenges the philosophy of deconstruction at its roots, and does so on the basis of a diligent reading of central texts and an understanding of the tradition of Continental philosophy providing the context for Derridian thought

The Fashion System

Roland Barthes

Notes: Originally published as Systeme de la mode (1983)

Annotation: In his consideration of the language of the fashion magazine—the structural analysis of descriptions of women's clothing by writers about fashion—Barthes gives us a brief history of semiology. At the same time, he identifies economics as the underlying reason for the luxuriant prose of the fashion magazine: "Calculating, industrial society is obliged to form consumers who don't calculate; if clothing's producers and consumers had the same consciousness, clothing would be bought (and produced) only at the very slow rate of its dilapidation."

The Subject of Semiotics

Kaja Silverman

General Semiotics Oxford University Press 9780195031782 Available

View details

Annotation: Through the writings of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and others, the kindred disciplines of semiotics and structuralism have stirred enormous interest within European and American intellectual circles in recent years. With their focus on the ways in which signs, symbols, and cultural phenomena of all kinds convey meaning, these burgeoning theoretcial fields have had a special impact on the analysis of fil and literature. In this provocative book Kaja Silverman undertakes a new and challenging reading of recent semiotic and structuralist theory, arguing that films, novels, and poems cannot be studied in isolation from their viewers and readers.
