Marina Grishakova
The Models of Space, Time and Vision in V. Nabokov's Fiction: Narrative Strategies and Cultural Frames

Tartu: Tartu University Press, 2006
ISSN 1406-4278
ISBN-10 9949-11-306-7

ISBN-13978- 9949-11-306-4

324 p. [= 286+38 p].

Tartu semiotics, as adapted and updated by Marina Grishakova, proves to be a compatible match with Nabokov’s unique „semiotic sensibility”.
- Brian McHale, The Ohio State University (USA)

This book is essential reading not only for Nabokov specialists, but also for anyone interested in cultural semiotics, narratology, and the processes by which emerging cultural forms become transformed into individual artistic meanings.
- Stephen H. Blackwell, University of Tennessee (USA)

In order to analyze the cognitive models constructed in fiction and cinema, the book thoughtfully and confidently combines ideas of Russian Formalism and the Tartu-school literary theory with those of French and Anglophone classical and postclassical narratology.
- Leona Toker, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Universals in the Context of Juri Lotman's Semiotics

Abstract
The peculiarities of the storing and mediating information can be characterized using the parameters of reflection capacity, its specifics and development (human and social psychology, and education theory), via the transmission and feedback mechanisms of information (informatics), using the terms for guiding, influencing and manipulating society (management theory, political science, advertising), in an historic-cultural manner, etc. In this monograph, the author examines the storing and mediating mechanisms of information as intellect-based, sign-creating algorithms - i.e. formal entities, which can be interpreted as universals.

In implementing the criteria of Porphyrios's eternally durable classification, it could be claimed that the author, together with Juri Lotman, treat universals in the spirit of conceptualism. In other words it means that a Person in this conception is an object to whom a collection of formal characteristics is attributed that is common to all single individuals, which expresses the understanding of any person whatsoever. A Person is identical to this collection.

And so this book concentrates on describing the universal characteristics of the intellect, as the apriority mechanism that stores, organizes and transmits information. Of these characteristics, five universal algorithms (communicative functions) of the intellect, which are textually realized as mythological, magical, religious, antithetic and metaphorical code-signals, are examined more closely.

The constructive components of the concept of code signal are (1) the phenomenological concept of the intellect; (2) the category of code-text; (3) the category of ritual, and (4) treating text as a signal. Observing intellect and text on the same level proceeds from Lotman's postulate according to which intellect, text and culture are 'vertically isomorphic' on the basis of four characteristics, which are the linguistic heterogeneity of all three, the existence of memory, the capacity for the self-reproduction of meanings, and the functioning of a selection block that regulates communication.

Mythological, magical, and other relevant code signals are speech phenomena, and therefore it is not magic, religion, etc that are analyzed in this book but magicality, religiosity, metaphoricality, etc as the base structures of semiosis and communication. They are base structures due to their prominent role in the reproductive processes of the intellect.

All five intellectual algorithms, as code signals, are a sign-creating system, where ritual and rituality are the ancient textual equivalents. All code signals, as becomes apparent, are explicitly exhibited in ritual, and form a system of communicative functions. It is most important here to note that it was delving into the structure of ritual in particular that permitted the author to answer the question: what guarantees the durability of code signals as the constructive elements of culture and (in a narrower sense), of representation and communication.

The author's conception was initially inspired by Juri Lotman?s three lectures, which have been published for the first time as an appendix to this book.

Keywords: cultural semiotics, Lotman, intellect, algorithms of intellect, semiotic universals, reproductive communication, code signal, magicality, mythologicality, religiousness, antitheticity, metaphoricality, rituality.

Genes, Information, and Semiosis

Abstract

By the 1950s, when biologists who studied genes had not yet perceived them as informational structures, information theory was an engineering tool for designing telecommunication channels with no place for a concept of signification, and semiotics dealt exclusively with cultural symbol systems, not investigating the basic forms of semiosis, or sign action in living nature. Today – after progress in molecular biology, biological theory and a naturalist and universalist turn in general semiotics – researchers are beginning to realize that genes, information and semiosis can no longer be understood in isolation.

This insight derives in part from a new crossdisciplinary field: Biosemiotics is a growing field that investigates semiotic processes in the living realm, addressing meaning, signification, communication, and habit formation in living systems, as well as the physicochemical conditions for sign action and interpretation. Areas such as molecular biology, cognitive ethology, cognitive science, robotics, and neurobiology deal with information processes at various levels and, thus, provide knowledge about biosemiosis, or sign action in living systems. Contemporary biosemiotics is working to integrate these findings, so as to build a richer foundation for biology.

This essay contributes to clarify the “information talk” in genetics, molecular and systems biology by building a specific conceptual model of basic life processes at the molecular level, such as protein synthesis. This model is consistent with the best scientific understanding and yet non-reductionist, integrating notions of signs, molecules, and natural interpretation in the tradition of the general semiotics, or the sign theory of Charles Sanders Peirce. It offers a new solution to how to understand and define “gene” in biology, and it develops a profound proposal for another concept of information that does not reduce information to digital bits of computation, but sees it as closely related to natural forms and processes, as the ones known from living organisms.

Readers not familiar with molecular biology or semiotics are provided with brief introductions to basic concepts. Semiotic scholars and life scientists will be shaken in their basic beliefs in the anthropic nature of signs and the substantial nature of genes. No scientific revolutions are offered, simply a set of deeper insights into an exciting, new interdisciplinary perspective upon life and signs.

Abstract

For more than 40 years, Jesper Hoffmeyer has been committed to the idea of developing “a semiotics of nature, or biosemiotics as he chose to call this effort, that could intelligibly explain how all the phenomena of inherent meaning and signification in living nature – from the lowest level of sign processes in unicellular organisms to the cognitive and social behavior of animals – can emerge from a universe that was not so organized and meaningful from the very beginning” (Emmeche et al. 2002: 41).

In this volume, over 80 world-class scholars from more than 20 countries select a short quotation taken from any of Jesper Hoffmeyer’s texts and provide their scholarly commentary upon that passage – whether in the form of an analytical explication, a critical disagreement or a conceptual extension – that as they feel asks the questions that need to be asked, proposes the ideas that need to be proposed, or that draws out the implications that need to be so explicitly drawn out, germane to the claims of the selected passage.

At once a celebration and a serious academic development of the work of Jesper Hoffmeyer, this landmark volume marks the occasion of his 70th birthday on February 21, 2012.

Meaning making: it's what we do; it's who we are

Format: Paperback / softback
Collection: Tartu Semiotics Library
Pub. Date: 2013
Publisher: Tartu University Press


Meaning Making: It's what we do; it's who we are is a book about fundamental questions of contemporary semiotics, however written in the style accessible to a wide range of readers.
Meaning Making sheds light on the following assumptions, largely following C. S. Peirce: (1) pre-linguistic sign modes of feeling, sensing and experiencing entail consciousnessbecoming; (2) consciousness-becoming, culminating in linguistic signs, is always in the process of becoming something other than what it was becoming; and (3) linguistic signs are never complete and consistent, for they continuously draw from pre-linguistic semiotic processes. These processes involve signs incessantly becoming other signs in interdependent, interactive interrelatedness. The three terms carry the implication that all signs are complementarily coalescent; they are always in the process of merging with one another. Illustration of the complementary coalescent processual flow of signs involves splitsecond decision-making - examples are chiefly from baseball and soccer - when one has no time consciously to think and then act on one's thinking. Decisions must be made in the blink of an eye, and they must be spontaneously acted on. This rapid-fire semiotic transition from pre-linguistic feelingbecoming to interpreting-becoming emphasizes ongoing process, rather than relatively fixed product. Process is the principle key qualifying Peirce's concept of semiosis.

floyd merrell is an eminent contemporary American semiotician, a long-time Professor of Semiotics and Spanish Literature in Purdue University. His numerous books include Signs Becoming Signs: Our Perfusive, Pervasive Universe (1991), Unthinking Thinking: Jorge Luis Borges, Mathematics, and the 'New Physics' (1991), Semiosis in the Postmodern Age (1995), Peirce's Semiotics Now: A Primer (1995), Signs Grow: Semiosis and Life Processes (1996), Peirce, Signs, and Meaning (1997), Tasking Textuality (2000), Living Learning, Learning Living: Signs, East and West (2002), Sensing Corporeally: Toward a Posthuman Understanding (2003), Processing Cultural Meaning (2007), Entangling Forms: Within Semiosic Processes (2010).

Abstract

The 2013 Tartu Semiotics Summer School (the 8th in the general sequence) takes place again at Kääriku and is dedicated to the development of semiotics of culture, under the title "Autocommunication in Semiotic Systems: 40 years after the Theses on the Semiotic Study of Culture". On this occasion, we republish here (1) the introduction to the 4th Summer School, written by J. Lotman, also in translation into English and Estonian, (2) the Theses in three languages (these were also published in vol. 1 of Tartu Semiotics Library, in 1998; here the translations are slightly corrected), and (3) the Postscriptum to theses (in English, translated from Italian, since we could not establish the Russian original of this text). The background and the further role of these texts is described in the accompanying article by Peeter Torop and Silvi Salupere.

Mathematics as  a Modeling System

Format: Paperback / softback
Collection: Tartu Semiotics Library
Pub. Date: 2014
Publisher: Tartu University Press

"Serendipity, inference, and abduction present opportunities for solutions to the puzzles appealing to humans, mathematicians included. When successful, these intuitive semiosic leaps find pattern, even when the pattern may not be explained beyond the frame of the puzzle. In foregrounding abduction, Danesi and Bockarova refresh ancient queries about any distinctions between discovery and invention. The abductive process cannot be taught in a prescriptive fashion, as it resists reduction to the simpler linear logics of our ordinary pedagogies. The authors’ semiotic perspective integrates recognized patterns of conceptual learning styles with the pervasive patterns in both living and inert realms, revealed through Fibonacci, Zipf, and fractals, and the cognitive power in diagrams, schemes, and graphs. The authors consider how it is that modeling seems to be tied to symbolism, metaphor, and optical processing. This volume will refresh practitioners from both pure and applied realms of mathematics, as well as other semioticians, pedagogues, and scholars generally." -- Myrdene Anderson

Marcel Danesi is professor of semiotics and linguistic anthropology at the University of Toronto and the Director of the Program in Semiotics and Communication Theory at Victoria College of the same university. He is also co-director of the Cognitive Science Network of the Fields Institute for Research in the Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto and Editor-in-Chief of “Semiotica”.

Mariana Bockarova holds a master’s degree from Harvard University and is currently completing her PhD at the University of Toronto. She has published in the fields of semiotics and the cognitive science of mathematics and is developing a model of expressive writing that blends ideas from psychology, applied linguistics, and semiotics, in order to understand the relation between discourse and emotions.

From Translation to Transduction: The Glassy Essence of Intersemiosis

Format: Paperback / softback
Collection: Tartu Semiotics Library
Pub. Date: 2015

Publisher: Tartu University Press

The fascinating story of the intersemiotic growth of translation into the whirlpool of excitement in transduction. The conflict between the simultaneous attractions of language-based translation and not-only-language-based transductions in different arts shows the way that the relatively coded phenomenon of translation can transfigure into Peirce’s free and uncoded activity of transduction. The real question of intersemiosis is still unanswered. Imagine the delicious surprises at the heart of the narrative examples: Henry Thoreau’s sympathy with American and Indian ecology of Walden, Edvard Grieg’s musical operetta Peer Gynt based on Henrik Ibsen’s poetic script, and Salvador Dalí’s sculptural transfiguration of Venus of Milo with his Venus with Drawers.

Dinda L. Gorlée is a semiotician and multilingual translation theoretician, with interests in the philosophy of language, comparative law, and cultural theory. With a dual Ph.D. in semiotics and translation theory from the University of Amsterdam, she has worked academically in a decade of countries around the world. Her last academic function was a visiting professorate at the University of Helsinki. Gorlée is widely published internationally and is writing a book about Wittgenstein as semiotician.

Semiotranslating Peirce

Format: Paperback / softback

Collection: Tartu Semiotics Library
Pub. Date: 2016

Publisher: Tartu University Press

„Just as a long discussion with Doug Robinson is the shortest way toward conceptualizing innovative approaches in Translation Studies, so reading a new book of his is a mindexpanding experience. This definitely holds true for this book, in which he undertakes an impressive attempt to retheorize semiotranslation. One of its many intellectual merits is that he fundamentally questions our habitualized, sometimes idealized, assumptions. The author himself mentions that he loves the periphery. But some of his ideas are so central to the phenomenon of translation that they make us feel the need for a humble Semiotic Turn in Translation Studies.“ Luc van Doorslaer

Douglas Robinson, who has been translating from Finnish to English since 1975, is author of numerous works on translation, including The Translator’s Turn, Translation and Taboo, Who Translates?, Translation and the Problem of Sway, Schleiermacher’s Icoses, The Dao of Translation, and Critical Translation Studies. He is currently Chair Professor of English at Hong Kong Baptist University.

Animal Umwelten in a Changing World. Zoosemiotic Perspectives

Format: Paperback / softback

Collection: Tartu Semiotics Library
Pub. Date: 2016

Publisher: Tartu University Press

Electronic version available at http://lepo.it.da.ut.ee/~timo_m/publikatsioonid/TSL18_Animal_umwelten_s.pdf

“Animal Umwelten in a Changing World. Zoosemiotic Perspectives” raises semiotic questions of human-animal relations: what is the semiotic character of different species, how humans endow animals with meaning, and how animal sign exchange and communication has coped with environmental change. The book takes a zoosemiotic approach and considers different species as being integrated with the environment via their specific umwelt or subjective perceptual world. The authors elaborate J. v. Uexküll’s concept of umwelt to make it applicable for analyzing complex and dynamical interactions between animals, humans, environment and culture. The opening chapters of the book present a framework for philosophical, historical, epistemological and methodological aspects of zoosemiotic research. These initial considerations are followed by specific case studies: on human–animal interactions in zoological gardens, communication in the teams of visually disabled persons and guiding dogs, semiotics of the animal condition in philosophy, historical changes in the role of animals in human households, the semiotics of predation, cultural perception of novel species, and other topics. The authors belong to the research group in zoosemiotics and human–animal relations based in the Department of Semiotics at the University of Tartu in Estonia, and in the University of Stavanger in Norway.
