Abstract

"Given that signs and meanings pervade the world in its different aspects, semiotics is naturally open to interactions with other fields, from the humanities and social sciences to the natural and pure sciences. Open Semiotics aims to explore and expand these interactions, and to facilitate new avenues for interdiscipiinary and transdisciplinary research, providing insights into a redeployment of disciplinary fields. Such an endeavor, which is intended to benefit the entire scientific community, has drawn upon extensive cooperation. This has resuited in 141 chapters authored by 178 scholars from 58 countries spanning all continents, which represent a broad array of trends and approaches as well as numerous and diverse disciplinary crossings. Open Semiotics comprises four volumes : (1) Epistemological and Conceptual Foundations, (2) Culture and Society, (3) Texts, Images, Arts, (4) Life and its Extensions. This book is the fourth and last volume of the project."--Page 4 of cover of volume 4

Abstract

Alle signalen op ons pad, grote en kleine, zoals Brand, Mieren in huis, Het Pre-Menstrueel Syndroom, Problemen tijdens de Menopauze, Een diep verdriet, of Je fiets is gestolen… geven ons belangrijke wenken. Gebeurtenissen, ziekten en verschijnselen in je leven (of in je dromen) gebeuren niet “zomaar”. Ze zijn een veruitwendiging van iets dat op dieperliggend vlak gebeurt : in je psyche, je emotioneel leven, in je overtuigings- en verwachtingspatroon. Indien we deze ‘signalen’ goed begrijpen en tot inzicht komen in de werkelijke reden van hun bestaan, dan kunnen we onszelf bewust bijsturen en ons een hele stap verder brengen op weg naar meer leven in vreugde en gezondheid. Het Signalenboek 3 is het derde in de reeks Signalenboeken en kan totaal los en onafhankelijk van de andere delen gelezen en gebruikt worden. Het bevat o.a. ook een zeer diepgaande beschrijving van de psychologische oorzaken en oplossingen van drugsverslaving. De reeks Signalenboeken kan beschouwd worden als een vervolg op “De Sleutel tot Zelf-Bevrijding”, het eerste, welbekende werk van Christiane Beerlandt, dat ondertussen is vertaald in diverse wereldtalen. Deze Vlaamse levensfilosoof (°1955) maakt gebruik van haar bijzondere vermogens om de diepstliggende betekenis (energetisch, emotioneel, psychologisch...) van gebeurtenissen, ziekten en feiten naar boven te halen. Het “waarom” verklaard. Terwijl “De Sleutel tot Zelf-Bevrijding” de diepere oorsprong van ongeveer 1300 ziekten beschrijft, spreidt de inhoud van de Signalenboeken zich uit over een zeer breed terrein van gebeurtenissen, feiten, ziekten, psychische toestanden, enz. …

Abstract

"De l'informe à la forme à l'informe. Sourdant de la morphogenèse, les corps, les signes, les saillances, les émergences, les aubes, les crépuscules, les trous noirs. Splendeurs d'un instant. La morphogenèse est sans programme. Les hommes ignorent, même Dieu ignore, même les biologistes ignorent, même le lierre et la glycine ignorent ce qu'ils font en traçant, en dressant, en adressant des lignes sur les murs qu'ils envahissent. Au sens strict en français "morphogenèse" désigne l'ensemble des transformations que connaît l'embryon pour acquérir sa forme humaine. Il y a au fond de chaque œuvre une poche exubérante où la morphose lance ses formes."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

"Argues that our contemporary treatment of the image as a circulating object was forged by three 20th century institutions: the museum, the library, and the stock photography agency"-- How the image collection, organized and made available for public consumption, came to define a key feature of contemporary visual culture.The origins of today's kaleidoscopic digital visual culture are many. In this book, Diana Kamin traces the sharing of photographs to an image economy developed throughout the twentieth century by major institutions. Picture-Work examines how three of these institutions—the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art, and the stock agency H. Armstrong Roberts Inc.—defined the public's understanding of what the photographic image is, while building vast collections with universalizing ambitions. Highlighting underexplored figures, such as the first rights and reproduction manager at MoMA Pearl Moeller and visionary NYPL librarian Romana Javitz, and underexplored professional practices, Diana Kamin demonstrates how bureaucratic work communicates ideas about images to the public.

Abstract

Despite the humble origins of its name (Anglo Saxon for 'the speck at the head of a boil'), the dot has been one of the most versatile players in the history of written communication, to the point that it has become virtually indispensable. This text offers a wide ranging account of this much overlooked and miniscule linguistic sign.

Abstract

"Knots are well known as symbols of moral relationships. This book develops an exciting new view of this otherwise taken-for-granted image and considers their metaphoric value in and for moral order. In chapters that focus on Japan, China, Europe, South America and in several Pacific Island societies, granular ethnography depicts how knots are deployed to express unity in daily and ritual embodiment, political authority and the cosmos, as well as in social thought. The volume will be of interest to anthropologists and other scholars concerned with metaphor and symbolism, material culture and technology"--

Abstract

No other symbol is as omnipresent in Poland as the cross. This multilayered and contradictory icon features prominently in public spaces and state institutions. It is anchored in the country's visual history, inspires protest culture, and dominates urban and rural landscapes. The cross recalls Poland's historic struggles for independence and anti-Communist dissent, but it also encapsulates the country's current position in Europe as a self-avowed bulwark of Christianity and a champion of conservative values. It is both a national symbol - defining the boundaries of Polishness in opposition to a changing constellation of the country's Others - and a key object of contestation in the creative arts and political culture. Despite its long history, the cross has never been systematically studied as a political symbol in its capacity to mobilize for action and solidify power structures. Cross Purposes is the first cultural history of the cross in modern Poland, deconstructing this key symbol and exploring how it has been deployed in different political battles.
