Abstract

The essays collected in this volume focus on the interrelated themes of mimesis, semiosis and power, each study exploring some facet of the problem of representation and its relation to strategies of power in the use of verbal and visual signs. Topics discussed include mimesis and power in Plato's Ion, rhetoric and erotics in Petrarch's thought; the limits of visual and verbal representation in Renaissance paintings of the Annunciation; binary thought and Peirce's triadic semiotics; the cinematic semiotics of Gilles Deleuze; fascist iconography in the paintings of Anselm Kiefer; oppositional s

Abstract

Qu'est-ce qu'un événement ? La question peut paraître incongrue, tant la notion commune d'événement va de soi. Elle ne cesse pourtant de se poser aux philosophes comme aux praticiens des sciences sociales. Elle soulève aujourd'hui des problèmes plus radicaux, peut-être, que ne le faisait, voici une génération, la réflexion sur la place respective des événements et des structures dans l'explication historique. Ces problèmes concernent le concept même d'événement, sa différence avec l'occurrence et le fait, son lien avec le langage, mais aussi son rôle dans l'élucidation de questions de théorie sémantique et d'analyse de l'action. Leur examen s'organise selon trois directions majeures : qu'est-ce qui assure l'individualité d'un événement ? comment décrire la dialectique de l'événement et du sens ? en quels termes peut-on rendre compte de la « construction » des événements sociaux ? En multipliant les éclairages sur ces thèmes, le présent volume esquisse un tableau inédit des problèmes qui surgissent lorsqu'on tente d'expliciter et de soumettre à la critique les présupposés ontologiques et épistémologiques attachés à la notion commune d'événement.

Abstract

""The only excellence of falsehood... is its resemblance to truth,"" proclaims a clergyman in Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote. He argues that romances are bad art; novels, he implies, are better. This clergyman's remarks -- repeating what literary and moral authorities had been saying since the late seventeenth century -- are central to Deborah Ross's discussion of romance characteristics in English women's novels. Aphra Behn, Delariviere Manley, Eliza Haywood, Charlotte Lennox, Fanny Burney, Ann Radcliffe, and Jane Austen did not take the clergyman's advice to heart. To them, the ""false

Abstract

From the origins of modern copyright in early eighteenth-century culture to the efforts to represent nature and death in postmodern fiction, this pioneering book explores a series of problems regarding the containment of representation. Stewart focuses on specific cases of ""crimes of writing""--the forgeries of George Psalmanazar, the production of ""fakelore,"" the ""ballad scandals"" of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the imposture of Thomas Chatterton, and contemporary legislation regarding graffiti and pornography.
