The element of "play" in the title of Derrida's Postmodernist and Post-Structuralist Theories of Crime 1st edition is often erroneously interpreted in a linguistic sense, based on a general tendency towards puns and humour, while social constructionism as developed in the later work of Michel Foucault is said to create play in the sense of strategic agency by laying bare the levers of historical change.

  • The Commutation Test and Chris Bacon's Score for Source Code As
    The Commutation Test and Chris Bacon’s Score for Source Code as a Framework for Film Music Pedagogy Aaron Ziegel, Towson University he cinema, whether experienced at the neighborhood multiplex or streamed at home, is arguably the medium through which today’s col- lege-age Americans are most likely to encounter newly composed sym- Tphonic music. Given the ubiquity of the film-viewing experience, students are often eager to learn the tools and methodologies that can equip them to criti- cally assess and more fully comprehend the function of music in movies. The filmSource Code (2011), directed by Duncan Jones and scored by Chris Bacon, provides a particularly effective starting point through which this process can begin.1 This article will discuss the pedagogical potential found in the film’s main titles and the impact of applying a commutation test to this sequence. Although here I address one specific example, the methodology of the commu- tation test is easily adaptable to other circumstances, as the theoretical foun- dation will make clear. While variations on the commutation test are a regular occurrence in many film music classrooms, this essay aims to present an intro- ductory primer that may be of use to instructors interested in an entry point for incorporating film music studies into their teaching. With that in mind, the appendix presents one suggestion for how to create film clips for classroom use. The value of this classroom activity extends beyond providing students with an engaging and memorable learning experience. By situating this analysis I wish to express my gratitude to the many students at Towson University whose feedback and enthusiastic classroom participation, along with suggestions from the anonymous reviewers, helped me to refine the pedagogical approach described in this essay.

    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.

  • Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen
    Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen: Theory and Practice, Aesthetics and Politics, 1963-1983 Nicolas Helm-Grovas Royal Holloway, University of London PhD, Media Arts 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Nicolas Helm-Grovas, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 15 January, 2018 2 Abstract This PhD is a genealogy and critical examination of the writings and films of Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen, spanning the period from the early 1960s to 1980s. Despite the prominence of their texts, there has not been a book-length study of either body of writing, nor an overview of their overlap and mutual influence, in what was their most productive period. Nor has there been an extended account of the important connection between their theory and their practice as filmmakers. My thesis undertakes these tasks. I interpret and challenge existing scholarship, while simultaneously examining in detail for the first time lesser-known works, drawing on archives and interviews. Through close readings I elucidate Mulvey’s interrogation of the patriarchal fantasies structuring cinematic and artistic forms and her feminist appropriation of classical Hollywood melodrama; I map the related issues Wollen’s texts activate, of cinematic signification and materialism, the buried potentialities of the historical avant-gardes, and their connection to the avant-garde film contemporaneous with his writings. Their moving image works, I demonstrate through detailed analyses, bring these ideas into dialogue and work them through in a more open, exploratory vein. I trace key notions like ‘counter cinema’ across films and writings by both authors.

  • Race and World Memory in Arrival to Articulate What Is Past Does Not
    Accepted for publication in Science Fiction Film and Television, published by Liverpool University Press (2020), 13, (2), 247–267 : https://doi.org/10.3828/sfftv.2020.13 Race and World Memory in Arrival To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize “how it really was.” It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger. Walter Benjamin Introduction Arrival (Villneuve USA/Canada 2016) has attracted persistent academic attention since its 2016 release, with the ‘cerebral sf’ (Canavan 491) most recently earning a 2018 section of the Film-Philosophy journal thanks to its sophisticated treatment of motherhood, time and temporality (Carruthers; Fleming and Brown). On this outing I wish to background the metaphysical, however, and instead enact a provocation by focusing on so-far neglected geopolitical issues linked to race and ‘world memories’ (Deleuze 2005b 113) operating within, and around, the film. Motivated by Arrival’s own articulation of past colonial histories and memories with sf images of fixed futurity, I first undertake an Afrofuturism-inspired investigation into the expressive form and content of a deeply felt scene that appears to erect a Manichean Black/White racial ‘montage of history’ (Benjamin 2005);i before being provoked by the wider narrative and its production context to zoom out and expand the range of ethnic considerations to include black people of non-African descent, and a range of other ethnicities and geopolitical actors (actually or virtually evoked by the narrative) including the

  • Commutation Test in Action: Establishing the English Consonantal Phonematic System*
    Moenia 25 (2019): 345-438. ISSN: 2340-003X. Commutation test in action: Establishing the English consonantal phonematic system* Tsutomu AKAMATSU Leeds ABSTRACT: In functional phonology, the commutation test is the only theoretically justifiable analytic procedure that enables us to elicit, identify and establish the phonemes and the archiphonemes of a given language. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how, in my view, we can perform the commutation test in order to establish the consonant phonemes and archiphonemes of British English known as RP (Received Pronunciation). To conduct the commutation test, I will proceed with the anal- ysis step by step in order to arrive at the complete system of consonant phonemes and archiphonemes of English. I provide tables of the phonological contents of all the phonemes and archiphonemes estab- lished as well as diagrams of the phonematic units so as to show the relationships into which the pho- nematic units mutually enter. KEYWORDS: commutation test, commutative series, opposition, series, order, correlation, mark, pre- phoneme, (minimum or near-minimum) multiplet, phonematic unit, phoneme, archiphoneme, relevant feature, hiss, hush, fricative, spirant, phonological content, exclusive opposition, neutralizable opposi- tion, neutralization. PART I 1. PRELIMINARY REMARKS 1.1. The purpose of the present paper is to show in detail how, in my opinion, the com- mutation test may be performed in functional phonology, with a view to establishing the Brit- ish English consonantal phonematic system.1 The term ‘phonematic’ is associated with an- other term ‘phonematics’ which designates one of the areas of functional phonology, the other area being designated as ‘prosody’.

    Notes on Semiotics: Introduction Review of Structuralism and Poststructuralism 1. Meaning and Communication: Some Fundamental Questions a. Is meaning a private experience between individuals? b. Is it determined by the psychological state or intention of the speaker? c. How is meaning communicated? d. What are the limits of our common sense understanding of language? 2. Saussure: Language is a shared system of communication. 3. Saussure's Basic Concepts a. synchronic b. diachronic c. langue d. parole 4. Problem of Denotation a. What do words denote? To what do they refer? b. Objects in the real world? When you consider general nouns ("tree", "hat", "virtue", etc.) and verbs ("ask", "linger", "wait") it becomes clear that a simple word-to-object relation breaks down. (Problem of Reference) 5. This provides one reason for Saussure to bracket the object ("referent") and limit his analysis to the relation between word and concept. 6. Saussure introduced a new terminology: SIGN = SIGNIFIER (SOUND-IMAGE) + SIGNIFIED (CONCEPT) CONCEPT SOUND IMAGE Page 1 of 8 7. What's the nature of the signified (concept)? What is it and how is it distinct from the signifier? PRE-STRUCTURALIST LINGUISTIC MODEL denotes P-E-A-R (word) (object) STRUCTURALIST MODEL SIGNIFIER SIGNIFIED signifies P-E-A-R (word) (concept) 8. Given that the concept of a thing varies, perhaps considerably, from person to person, Saussure had yet another reason for bracketing the real (external) world. This reduces the complexity and makes it easier to develop a workable theoretical model. Page 2 of 8 9. The "Arbitrariness" of the Sign—Conventionalism a.

  • Ferdinand De Saussure
    Introduction to Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Ferdinand de Saussure /1857-1913/ Introduction to Theoretical and Applied Linguistics FERDINAND DE SAUSSURE /1857-1913/ PERSONALIA PAGE FERDINAND DE SAUSSURE • Ferdinand de Saussure (/soʊˈsjʊər/; French: [fɛʁdinɑ̃ də sosyʁ]; 26 November 1857 – 22 February 1913) was a Swiss linguist and semiotician. His ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiology in the 20th century. • He is widely considered one of the founders of 20th- century linguistics and one of two major founders (together with Charles Sanders Peirce (/pɜːrs/ "purse"; 10 September 1839 – 19 April 1914) ) of semiotics/ semiology. SAUSSURE'S SYSTEM OF SCIENCES General Psychology Social Psychology Semiology Linguistics External Internal Synchronic Diachronic SEMIOLOGY • Beginning with the Greek word sēméion meaning "sign", Saussure proposes a new science of "Semiology": "a science that studies the life of signs within society" SYNTAGMATIC AND PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS • Syntagmatic means one element selects the other element either to precede it or to follow it. For example, the definitive article "the" selects a noun and not a verb. “ SAUSSUREAN TRICHOTOMY [trɪ'kɔtəmɪ] OF LANGUAGE • Le Langage is most easily understood and indeed explained as a rule-abiding game. It is a universal system which has an underlying, fundamental, structure so that linguistic communication can work. • La langue is the actual language spoken, for instance; French, German or English. The language of the speaker. • La parole is the individual speech act. Romantic and humanistic readings influence one’s parole.
