"Göstergebilim" diye adlandırılan bu bakış açısı, Ferdinand de Saussure'ün uğraş alanının sınırlarını genişletip dilbilim­ sel çözümlemeyi kültür alanına uyguladı. Epeyce bir ilgi çektikten sonra, büyük yandaşlarından kiminin yapısöküm ve metin çözümlemesi uğruna göstergebilimin savlarını terk etmeleriyle göstergebilim bir düşüş dönemine girdi. Bu kitap, göstergebilimsel yaklaşımın yeniden diril­ tilmesini inceliyor. Ama bunu özgün bir çizgide yapıyor. Genelde yapısalcılığın, özelde göstergebilimin sınırlamala­ rı, kökenlere ve klasik kaynaklara dönüşün önünü tıkıyor. Bu kitabın konusu simgesel ve maddi kültürün ilişkisiyle ilgili. Kitap, simgesel süreçleri toplumsal bağlama açıkça ilişkilendiren, ayrıca kültür alanını göstergebilim dışı alan­ lar olan ekonomik gelişme ve siyasal çatışma gerçeklikle- 7 Postmodern Göstergeler rine bağlayarak "toplumsallaştırma" arayışı içinde olan, "toplumsal göstergebilim" denilen bir göstergebilim türü­ ne yöneliyor. Son yirmi yıldan beri toplumsal göstergebilimsel yak­ laşımı kültür çalışmalarına uygulayan birçok makale ya­ yımladım. Bu çaba yeni, bileşik bir bakış açısının uygu­ lanmasında uzun süredir ortada duran birçok sorunun çö­ zümlenmesine de bir fırsat oldu. Bu arada, gittikçe yaygın­ laşan postmodern görüşün kültur çözümlemesi üzerine de çalıştım. Postmodern yaklaşımların, önemli görüşler geliş­ tirirken simgesel ve kültür arasındaki ilişkiyi gözden ka­ çırdığını, bunun yerine yalnızca bilince özel bir yer verdi­ ğini gördüm. Bu idealist tutum, daha önceki göstergebi­ limsel çabaların kararlılığından yoksun izlenimci anlatışla­ ra yol açtı. Çalışmam belirli bir anlamda da jameson, Derrida, Baudrillard ve Barthes'ın düşüncelerinin de arala­ rında olduğu postmodern görüşle gizli bir söyleşi içine gi­ riyor ve onlarınkine benzer bir zemin üzerinde ilerliyor: eğlence parkı, alışveriş merkezi, moda, rock altkültürleri, kimlik, imge yönelimli kültür, geç kapitalizm ve başka konular. Karşılaştınnanın her noktasında, toplumsal gös­ tergebilimsel bakış açısı, postmodern görüşün kültür çö­ zümlemesindeki kavrayıcı gücünün benzerini yapıyor; bu­ nun yanında da kültüre ve göstergebilime özdekçi bir yak­ laşımla bakanlar için yeni bir seçenek sunuyor.

    STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A SHOTGUN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Caudill College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Morehead State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Jill Marie Alexander AprilS, 2010 Accepted by the faculty of the Caudill College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Morehead State University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Arts degree. Master's Committee: 51Lf/;o Date 1 1 STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A SHOTGUN Jill M. Alexander, M.A. Morehead State University, 20 I 0 .m-ofTh••• ~ {)Jr~lrr A woman is more than just her body, more than just her own heart and soul. She is the culmination of her experiences, she is her parents and siblings, her former lovers, her husband and children. A woman can be known, but not truly understood, until one gets to know the parts that make her. Like this collection of short stories, a woman is the product of years of work, love, labor, and many others who contribute to who she is and who she wants to be. She is strong and determined in the face of the dangers that stand before her. These stories tell the story of one woman through her childhood, her experiences, her lovers, her husband, and her child. All the characters in this collection are inspired by someone specific, except for our main character. She is the woman I imagine we all are at some point in our lives: at times a fool, at times wise, confused, in love, happy sad, seeking happiness and peace with her present and her past.

  • Short Story Collection by Jacqueline Curry
    Short Story Collection by Jacqueline Curry Table of contents Pedro, Saint Francis, and the Angel The Light Bearers Young Woman Trying To Sleep The Arrival The Tall Blonde Larry’s Ride Gutter Brood X The Sweet Life You Can Call Me Mo Losing Chloe Pedro, Saint Francis, and the Angel 1 My name is Pedro Francesco Perez. My mother named me after my father, who is strong as a bull and just as temperamental. From working on our farm in Guatemala, he carries a dusty, grassy, animal smell. His eyes are dark, like strong coffee, and sometimes he has popped blood vessels from the shrapnel of wood shavings when he chops wood. If he asked me to do something, like get a haircut or milk the cows at four in the morning, I jumped to it right away, no complaints, no questions. Si, Padre, si. When my father speaks, I do not say a word, only listen. He taught me that rule when I was three years old. Once when I was ten, he screamed so long and hard at me for spilling a bucket of milk that I peed my pants. When I was sixteen, I woke in my bed in the middle of the night with my back flaming with pain and my face pressed into a lake of tears. Under my pillow, I was gripping a gun. I sprang back and shoved it away. It was the same gun I carried when I traveled, stuffed into the back of my jeans, protection against gangs and banditos. At first I could not remember how the gun got into my hands.
