Download or read book Intersemiotic Perspectives on Emotions written by Susan Petrilli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores emotion and its translations through the global world from a variety of different perspectives, as a personal, socio- cultural, ideological, ethical and political, even business investment in the latest phases of globalisation. Emotions are powerful in engaging or disengaging individuals, communities, the masses, peoples and nations with distinct linguistic and cultural backgrounds for good, but also for evil. All depends on how emotions are interpreted, that is, translated in “words” or in “facts”, in any case in “signs”. Semiotic reflection on emotions and their interpretation/translation is thus of essential importance. An adequate understanding of emotional phenomena and their complexities calls for different views which together reveal and illustrate inconsistencies in our modern life. The contributors argue that an investigation of types of emotional translation – linguistic and non- linguistic, audio-visual, theatrical, literary, racial, legal, architectural, political, and so forth – can contribute to a better understanding of emotions and how they are exploited to engender injustice, unfairness, absurdity in contemporary life. Nonetheless, emotions are also exploited and oriented – and this is the intent of our authors – to favour the development of sustainable multicultural societies and facilitate living together. A major reference for students and scholars in translation, semiotics, language and cultural studies around the world.
Download or read book Making Sense Making Science written by Astrid Guillaume and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the federative power of the methodology of the sciences of culture by exploiting its critical, historical, and comparative principles to address both cultural objects and disciplines that report on them. Scientific activity is rethought in its dimension of interpretative act responsible for both the human and the non-human. This book fills a gap by reconnecting in an innovative and original way the scientific, artistic and ethico-political spheres.
Download or read book Diagrams and Gestures written by Francesco La Mantia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-16 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing a line, and then another, and another. Go back from the lines to the movements they capture and see gestures in them: not spatial displacements, but modes of knowledge that pass through the exercise of the body. Discovering something new in a gesture: the line that contracts into a point or the point that expands into a zone, perhaps sinking into a hole. Thus experiencing a diagram: a becoming other inscribed in the novelty of the gesture and in the changes of the forms it shapes. This and much more is discussed in the essays gathered in Diagrams and Gestures. Resulting from trans-disciplinary work between mathematicians, philosophers, linguists and semioticians, the volume delivers an up-to-date account of the most valuable research on the connections between gesture and diagram. As one of the most important themes in contemporary thought, the study of these connections poses a challenge for the future: to elaborate a theory that is equal to new and stimulating research methodologies. We call this theory a philosophy of diagrammatic gestures.
Download or read book Language is a complex adaptive system Explorations and evidence written by Kristine Lund and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2022-10-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ASLAN labex - Advanced studies on language complexity - brings together a unique set of expertise and varied points of view on language. In this volume, we employ three main sections showcasing diverse empirical work to illustrate how language within human interaction is a complex and adaptive system. The first section – epistemological views on complexity – pleads for epistemological plurality, an end to dichotomies, and proposes different ways to connect and translate between frameworks. The second section – complexity, pragmatics and discourse – focuses on discourse practices at different levels of description. Other semiotic systems, in addition to language are mobilized, but also interlocutors’ perception, memory and understanding of culture. The third section – complexity, interaction, and multimodality – employs different disciplinary frameworks to weave between micro, meso, and macro levels of analyses. Our specific contributions include adding elements to and extending the field of application of the models proposed by others through new examples of emergence, interplay of heterogeneous elements, intrinsic diversity, feedback, novelty, self-organization, adaptation, multi-dimensionality, indeterminism, and collective control with distributed emergence. Finally, we argue for a change in vantage point regarding the search for linguistic universals.

Book excerpt: Un des maîtres à penser de la génération de chercheurs d'après-guerre, Gregory Bateson, a parcouru une trajectoire étonnante qui l'a conduit de l'ethnologie à la psychiatrie, en passant par l'évolution biologique et génétique et par l'épistémologie. Dans ces deux volumes on a réuni à peu près tout ce qu'il a écrit, essais et articles, à l'exception des textes trop longs et des papiers au contenu éphémère. L'ordre des articles, à l'intérieur des grandes sections thématiques, correspond chronologiquement aux périodes de sa vie où les questions qu'il y traite se sont trouvées au centre de ses préoccupations. Bibliographie chronologique de son oeuvre publiée.
Download or read book Pour une cologie culturelle written by Patrick Scheyder and published by Le Pommier. This book was released on 2022-11-30T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C’est le paradoxe du siècle : nous savons que la catastrophe écologique est là, pourtant rien ne se passe. Pourquoi la science et la politique peinent-elles à mobiliser ? Perçues comme des blocs spécialisés, elles restent hermétiques à la société civile. Pour y remédier, les auteurs de ce manifeste proposent d’emprunter une voie inusitée : l’écologie culturelle. Inscrite dans notre roman national (La Fontaine, Rousseau, George Sand, Michelet...), l’écologie est loin d’être une nouveauté. Trop souvent négligées, son histoire, ses dimensions psychologiques et artistiques sont pourtant la clé : l’éducation à l’écologie devrait s’imposer comme une priorité. Tel est le pari de ce manifeste : approprions-nous l’écologie par la culture, ciment de la société, rendons compte de son inscription dans notre passé, situons-la dans une continuité et non dans une rupture anxiogène, et rompons avec une approche trop technicienne pour prendre en compte la dimension sensible et empathique de l’humain.

Download or read book Les avatars jouables des mondes num riques Th ories terrains et t moignages de pratiques interactives written by AMATO Etienne Armand and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ces créatures d’images polymorphes que sont les avatars jouables nous font exister dans les mondes numériques des jeux vidéo, et même dans certains sites Web communautaires ou ludiques. Parce qu’elles nous y métamorphosent, elles apparaissent emblématiques des pratiques interactives les plus sophistiquées et troublantes. Toutefois, leurs propriétés et effets, espérés ou redoutés, restent encore à éclairer, ainsi que toutes ces interactions à distance réalisées par avatars interposés, au cœur des simulations audiovisuelles informatiques contemporaines. Ancré en sciences de l’information et de la communication, ce premier ouvrage collectif francophone sur le thème conceptualise l’avatar. Aussi, il bénéficie des apports conjugués de différentes disciplines (philosophie des techniques, psychologie, psychanalyse, sémiologie, ethnologie, sociologie, sciences de la gestion, arts). Par cette pluralité et grâce à de constants allers-retours entre théories et terrains, descriptions et analyses, hypothèses et témoignages, peuvent être articulées toutes les dimensions en jeu : technologiques, physiologiques, interpersonnelles, identitaires, intimes et/ou culturelles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holism maintains that a phenomenon is more than the sum of its parts. Yet analysis--a mental process crucial to comprehension--involves dismantling the whole to grasp it piecemeal and relationally. Wading through such quandaries, Vincent Descombes guides readers to a deepened appreciation of the entity that enables understanding: the human mind.

Book excerpt: This collective project by Erik Bordeleau, Toni Pape, Ronald Rose-Antoinette and Adam Szymanski is not simply 'about' Apichatpong Weerasethakul, though it does engage his work in detail. It is a book that deeply questions what else might be at stake in setting up the conditions for collaboration across two genres - cinema and writing.
Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
