Abstracts

This essay develops Peirce’s concept of icons and iconicity as well as Jakobson’s concept of the diagram, and considers mainly the possibilities of expressing diagrammatic iconicity in texts – for example, the system of narrative times, the placement of text categories (Ricoeur’s conception of configuration) and the phenomenon of “naturalizing the text” (Jonathan Culler’s term), which enable one to understand a text. The essay, first published in the volume Ré-inventer le réel / Re-inventing the Real: Actes du colloque international (1999), was based on Pier’s papers delivered at the colloquium of the same name, held in Tours, on 26–27 September 1997; it now has a preface by Ondřej Sládek (pp 820-824).
