    Charles Sanders Peirce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 9/2/10 4:55 PM Charles Sanders Peirce From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced /ˈpɜrs/ purse[1]) Charles Sanders Peirce (September 10, 1839 – April 19, 1914) was an American philosopher, logician, mathematician, and scientist, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Peirce was educated as a chemist and employed as a scientist for 30 years. It is largely his contributions to logic, mathematics, philosophy, and semiotics (and his founding of pragmatism) that are appreciated today. In 1934, the philosopher Paul Weiss called Peirce "the most original and versatile of American philosophers and America's greatest logician".[2] An innovator in many fields (including philosophy of science, epistemology, metaphysics, mathematics, statistics, research methodology, and the design of experiments in astronomy, geophysics, and psychology) Peirce considered himself a logician first and foremost. He made major contributions to logic, but logic for him encompassed much of that which is now called epistemology and philosophy of science. He saw logic as the Charles Sanders Peirce formal branch of semiotics, of which he is a founder. As early as 1886 he saw that logical operations could be carried out by Born September 10, 1839 electrical switching circuits, an idea used decades later to Cambridge, Massachusetts produce digital computers.[3] Died April 19, 1914 (aged 74) Milford, Pennsylvania Contents Nationality American 1 Life Fields Logic, Mathematics, 1.1 United States Coast Survey Statistics, Philosophy, 1.2 Johns Hopkins University Metrology, Chemistry 1.3 Poverty Religious Episcopal but 2 Reception 3 Works stance unconventional 4 Mathematics 4.1 Mathematics of logic C.

Sebeok (Budapest 9 November 1920 – Bloomington 21 December 2001) There should be a discussion on the major topic and results of Sebeok’s semiotic activity. He started as a Finno-Ugrist linguist, and then moved to general linguistics and communication theory and non-verbal communication. Then he became an outliner and historiographer of semiotics, the founding father of “zoosemiotics”, and of a classical style “biosemiotics”. He did more than anybody else for international congresses, teaching and publication of worldwide semiotics. He was a central knot of the “semiotic web”. There are still many persons who have known and remember him. Abstracts: 1) EERO TARASTI , University of Helsinki, President of the IASS/AIS (([email protected]) The Sebeokian Vision of Semiotics.

  • Eero Tarasti
    Eero Tarasti THE RIGHT OF UNFUNCTIONALITY – EXPLORATIONS IN PONZIO’S PHILOSOPHICAL SEMIOTICS Few efforts have been made to renew or even reflect upon the epistemological bases of traditional or “classical” semiotics, established (roughly) at the beginning of the twentieth century and continuing up to the present day. It seems that traditional semiotics has accepted the normative communication model – such as that elaborated by Shannon and Weaver to improve the efficiency of telecommunication – as the self-evident starting point for any semiotic research. It requires a semiotician with a philosophical mind to go beyond accepted truths and search out new avenues for the study of signs. Augusto Ponzio is one such scholar. Grounded in philosophy, he at the same time takes a keen interest in the worldly phenomena of our Dasein, and does so with the kind of encyclopedic zest that characterizes the great semioticians of our time, from Roland Barthes to Umberto Eco. Ponzio’s version of semiotics is a fascinating combination of his roots in the line of Charles Morris/Ferruccio Rossi-Landi, Mikhail Bakhtin’s ideas on dialogue and, perhaps above all, the “existential” philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. Ponzio’s interest in what may be called sociosemiotics stems from the first source, his ideas on Russian formalism from Bakhtin, and his fundamental view of Otherness from Levinas. It is tempting to argue that the common point for all these sources is the notion of subject as the primus motus of “semiosis”. Yet Ponzio turns the situation around: it is signs that constitute subjects, not vice-versa. In this aspect of his philosophy, he shows himself as a semiotician.

  • Is That a New Language Coming? Some Questions Concerning Music Semiotics Vocabulary
    UDK 78:81’373.46 Izvorni znanstveni rad Rukopis primljen 13. VII. 2018. Prihvaćen za tisak 12. X. 2018. Nataša Crnjanski University of Novi Sad Academy of Arts [email protected] IS THAT A NEW LANGUAGE COMING? SOME QUESTIONS CONCERNING MUSIC SEMIOTICS VOCABULARY Music semiotics is a branch of music theory that has been particularly developing since the 1960s. As semiotics moved from general linguistics, structuralism and theory of communication to cognitive and psychological linguistics, as sources of understanding music cognition – that is, as it moved from “hard” to “soft” semiotics as Agawu calls them (1999: 154) – its vocabulary became strongly metaphoric and complex. At the same time, there was no strict convention concerning the usage of the vocabulary in question. In this paper, I will focus on some important interrelated issues of music semiotics vocabulary, such as the concept of meaning, and all rhetorical variations regarding this term in music. Special attention will be given to explanation of terminological issues of the two most prominent “languages” of music semiotics, that of Robert Hatten and Eero Tarasti. 1. Introduction Music semiotics has gone a long way since the first semioticians of music started to analyze music using the theory of signs, a subdiscipline of general linguistics. Before I present a brief view, from my own perspective, of how we ended here but started there, let me tell a small anecdote which illustrates how we perceive music. While working with a group of students, I gave them a simple task – to listen one musical excerpt and think of the best words for describing the sound.

Indeed, this is the very first time in musicological history that a scientific journal decides to devote an entire issue to the topic of animal music. In several cases, a few of which I had the honour to represent, zoomusicological essays have been published and discussed within wider contexts, such as conference proceedings, regular – i.e. non-thematic – issues of various journals, essay compilations, and even special – i.e. thematic – issues of journals (e.g., focusing on things like “new trends in musicology”). However, never was zoomusicology the topic, the actual focus of one particular issue. This means very much to me and, in this introduction to the issue, I shall take the liberty to 12 explain why. I became interested in zoomusicology in 1996, while in search for a topic for my master dissertation in musicology.

  • Existential Semiotics and Schenkerian Analysis
    Tom Pankhurst Schenkerian Analysis and Existential Semiotics One of the attractions of Eero Tarasti’s A Theory of Musical Semiotics (1994) is its capacity to embrace a wide range of analytical approaches. Tarasti’s adaptation of the Greimasian generative course – in particular the concept of modalities – presented a way in which traditional analytical approaches might be revitalized as part of an attempt to understand more fully the processes of musical signifi cation. From a Schenkerian perspective, it offered a framework within which to reshape analytical insights and address some of the problematic epistemological assumptions that Schenker’s theories entail. Over the last decade, Tarasti’s basic theoretical model has undergone signifi cant re-orientation in order that semiosis may be understood in terms of acts. His conception of semiotic acts involves three different types of sign, the pre-sign (or enunciant), act-sign and post- sign (or interpretant). He states that ‘a semiotic act occurs as the production of an act sign by means of the help of a pre-sign or enunciant/utterant; or the act takes place as the interpretation of the act sign by means of the post- sign or interpretant’ (Tarasti 2000: 32) If this seems a little like Nattiez’s tripartite model – with the enunciant taking the place of poietic level and the interpretant standing for the aesthesic level – the resemblance is superfi cial and misleading. Tarasti’s model suggests not that the activity of the composer and listener can be related to a stable and neutral level, but that ‘the sign itself proves to be a rather ephemeral entity lying between these two “transcendences” [of pre and post signs]’ (2000: 32).

  • The Print Page Space As Aesthetic Discourse Art Semiotic in Democracy
    The Print Page Space as Aesthetic Discourse Art Semiotic in Democracy TANIA LETIZIA GObbeTT University of Bologna - University of Trento (Italy) Abstract Roland Barthes writing, to the zero degree, seemed to put its accent on the differences between art and craft as a question of style, mannerism: writing limits, merges, proportions, isolate, build its own social reality, but is it still a thoughtful shape? Or it is the suit, the envelop, the skin, of a constitutional part of the ‘I’, that revolts this scenery, that renews the pact as agreement of the rights of the person, the individual outside the conveniences as before 1996 were the ground of the usury of any political term? Among linguistic and semiotic we can discover the traits of differences as to perceive its eidetic necessity, the elements and the objects. Since Erik Landowsky, in which the page is structured as a painting of spaces connotations, oblique to the reader or since Giovanni Anceschi where the art of the page it is experience of communication, the occurrence, the author, inference a social space and a collective «I», the subject restrain, closes, exemplify or even models what is expanded, translated, loosened. From the identity body of the newspaper we get to the unreachable public identity of the consumer. The chiastic gesture or the censure one, or the polisemic as it is involved just in the object: it should impress a certain quality of the message and continuity of the communication. A semiotic landscape, in some of the terms of Ruggero Pierantoni, of light phenomenon, while on the newspaper could be seen in its own categories exploited as re-reading a townscape, as the voyageur propose a journey, the compositions aspects may represent some ways to renew the fragmented process, pauses, attitudes to rebuild a reader theory.
