Other title information: Analogies biologiques et structures mathématiques pour un génotexte
Annotation: A partir des verbes opérateurs d’un texte, jusqu’à leur enchaînement complet et original en une triple chaîne prédicative, l’ouvrage construit des scénarios de schèmes dans le cadre théorique de la Grammaire Applicative et Cognitive. Il propose une analyse de comparaisons existantes entre le génome et l’alphabet ou le texte, mettant en exergue la nécessité de niveaux d’analyse. A travers une série d’analogies, et une réflexion de ce fait interdisciplinaire, ces structures du langage sont mises en relation avec des structures mathématiques et biologiques : l’ADN, les protéines, la formation de l’embryon, selon des niveaux de comparaison. Construit par ses opérateurs qui mettent en œuvre un concept, le texte se déploie à partir de repères topologiques internes, tel le système nerveux puis le corps à la suite des cellules neurales. Une topologie textuelle devient appropriée pour décrire ce processus. From the operator verbs of a text, to their complete and original chaining in a triple predicative chain, the work constructs scenarios of schemes in the theoretical framework of Applicative and Cognitive Grammar. It proposes an analysis of existing comparisons between the genome and the alphabet or the text, highlighting the need for levels of analysis. Through a series of analogies, and a reflection of this interdisciplinary fact, these structures of language are related to mathematical and biological structures: DNA, proteins, the formation of the embryo, according to levels of comparison. Constructed by its operators who implement a concept, the text unfolds from internal topological markers, such as the nervous system then the body following the neural cells. A textual topology becomes appropriate to describe this process. (translated with Google Translate)

Heroizability

Other title information: An anthroposemiotic theory of Literary characters
Annotation: It is commonly believed that some approaches of structural semiotics, narratology and cognitive science have not yet succeeded in constructing a complete and coherent theory of literary character. The author argues that the primary explanation of the failure is the artificial separation between characters and their actions. One of the chief implications of such separation is treating characters in terms of structures, agents, actants, functions, roles, and signs, which obviously mean that actions can hardly be explained as intended, motivated, performed and experienced. Survival, as a motivation-based concept, is one of the key concepts making the separation between character and action something impossible. Humans in literary narratives search for survival as an aware process of knowing and meaning making. Meaning in literary narratives can be produced by heroizability, which treats literary characters as living anthroposemiotic entities aware of their natural motivation to achieve in order to survive and produce meanings of their survival. As such, characters in literary narratives have active cognitions, and their cognitive activities remain meaningless without a process of semiosis. Applying Anthroposemiotic theory with Modeling System Theory, heroizability provides methodical tools to explain how the narrative text is represented and, thus, how it is to be interpreted properly by the reader not only to find, but also to make meaning in narrative world.

Pragmatism and the forms of sense
View details
Other title information: language, perception, technics
Annotation: Making sense of the world around us is a process involving both semiotic and material mediation—the use of signs and sign systems (preeminently language) and various kinds of tools (technics). As we use them, we experience them subjectively as extensions of our bodily selves and objectively as instruments for accessing the world with which we interact. Emphasizing this bipolar nature of language and technics, understood as intertwined "forms of sense," Robert Innis studies the multiple ways in which they are rooted in and transform human perceptual structures in both their individual and social dimensions. The book foregrounds and is organized around the notion of "semiotic embodiment." Language and technics are viewed as "probes" upon which we rely, in which we are embodied, and that themselves embody and structure our primary modes of encountering the world. While making an important substantive contribution to present debates about the "biasing" of perception by language and technics, Innis also seeks to provide a methodological model of how complementary analytical resources from American pragmatist and various European traditions can be deployed fruitfully in the pursuit of new insights into the phenomenon of meaning-making.

Other title information: Principles of the new science concerning the common nature of nations
Annotation: Barely acknowledged in his lifetime, the New Science of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is an astonishingly perceptive and ambitious attempt to decipher the history, mythology and laws of the ancient world. Discarding the Renaissance notion of the classical as an idealised model for the modern, it argues that the key to true understanding of the past lies in accepting that the customs and emotional lives of ancient Greeks and Romans, Egyptians, Jews and Babylonians were radically different from our own. Along the way, Vico explores a huge variety of topics, ranging from physics to poetics, money to monsters, and family structures to the Flood. Marking a crucial turning-point in humanist thinking, New Science has remained deeply influential since the dawn of Romanticism, inspiring the work of Karl Marx and even influencing the framework for Joyce's Finnegan's Wake.

Reader Response to Literature
View details
Other title information: To Empirical Dimension
Annotation: The research reported here lays the groundwork for further empirical investigations of reader response. It also provides new insights into how worlds and structures relate to and reproduce our inner and outer space, how the choice of text and critical approach can predetermine responses, and how interpretation depends in part on the cultural forces we reflect and reproduce. This volume does not present a more or less random sample of texts and studies dealing with reader response. Rather, the writers were selected because of their empirical expertise, and because they approached the study of reader response from a perspective which would provide possible answers as to the nature and pattern of reader response to literature.
