Thesis: Aim of the paper is to present Melanie Klein and Charles S. Peirce concept of symbol in order to combine them into scheme that presents conscious and unconscious aspect of thinking through symbolic signs (signs based on convention). Presented concepts: Paper presents concept of symbol in psychoanalytical and semiotic perspective. Psychoanalytical view is based on interpretation of symbol according to object relation paradigm proposed by Klein. There are two reasons for selecting her theory for the model: it is most closely bound with interdependency between communication and thinking plus her concept of proper symbol fulfills definition of symbolic sign in Peirce theory, due to deployment of matter of absence in substitution process. Peirce theory however is selected to present semiotic perspective not only for its good linkage to Klein’s “proper symbol” but also for its accurate understating of object representation in quasi- mind through Representamen and as a result recognition of symbol embedment in code through unlimited semiosis. Chosen concepts are consolidated into psycho-semiotic model of thinking which recognizes symbol to be co-created by unique internal world of unconscious phantasy with simultaneous employment of semiotic devices oriented to external, group order perspective. Results and conclusions: Proposed psycho-semiotic model of thinking enhances psychoanalytic view, based on drive for object, by recognizing communication means required for meaningful relation and with that for thinking itself. As a result conceptualizing thinking processes is enriched with semiotic discoveries such as mechanics and structure of Representamen and Interpretant, along with indispensable code rules, with unlimited semiosis at its core. In turn psychoanalytical view adds to semiotic perspective sensitivity to individual potential and constrains when code is in use and with that raises precision of exploration in the field. Contribution to the field: Proposed model enriches theory of thinking based on object relations with semiotic sign theory, which being focused on communication serves as a frame for establishing object relations and their conceptualization. In turn employing psychoanalytic perspective into semiotic field brings back code theory to actual code usage, and by that expands it to various unconscious forces, which ultimately determine Interpretant

The goal of the present contribution is an unconventional one. It concerns not only a punctual problem - the axiology of ethnical values - assumed on the “vertical” of a single discipline, as it is usually done, but a complex of “horizontal” problems unified by an integrative methodology: that of semiotics. The great quantity of the problems involved obliged us − on a limited frame − to present them intuitively, to formulate only some hypotheses and models, for a preliminary holistic knowledge.

In this article, invoking some terms of phenomenology and general principles of structural semiotics, I critically examine and reveal some aporetic aspects of Nishitani’s interpretation of Buddhist concept of sūnyatā presented in his seminal work Religion and Nothingness. My critics are directed to deeply ingrained claims among scholars of a “rejection of any form of dualism” and “non-substantial philosophy” as unique characteristics of the Kyoto school or “logic of the East”. My arguments are based on examining how linguistic differentiating articulation and narrative rendering that perform a fundamental role in human cognition are at work in definition of “emptiness” (sūnyatā) too. Thus emptiness is not completely empty; being certain philosophical identity it can be articulated only by differentiation from other identities, and thus different is included in it. Nishitani needed logocentric modes of thought, as a dialectical (m)other for constructing his sūnyatā ontology. Accordingly, the realms that are considered to be secondary or derivative (i.e. sensual and rational, or linguistic representations) appear to be the condition for constituting the primary (suchness of things, sūnyatā). Considering universal mechanisms of the articulation of values I am also asking whether sūnyatā paradigm indeed is so fundamentally different from Western paradigms centered on idea, God, or a rational subject as Nishitani wants to think. Since we find a clear hierarchical differentiation into truth and illusion, authentic and inauthentic modes of thought and time, and initial and derivative ontological realms, features of “strong thought” (in sense of Vattimo) are evident in his work. I am also suggesting, that possibly by considering not sūnyatā or “idea” but human languages as a universal “house of being”, we would be able to “empty” discourses of radical difference and uniqueness, and in this way become post-nationalistically modern. Philosophy, in order not to turn into a onesided ideology, should reflect on its mythological and narratological conditions, i.e. dances on certain semiotic axes. From such a perspective, the gravitational trajectory of human thought, longing for conjunction with the absolute, defined either as God or as sūnyatā, will seem similar rather than different.

The text is an interpretation of three photography projects made by Terry Richardson, Melanie Manchot and Evergon Lunt. Actually the topic of analyze is a relation between the parent and adult child, who is at the same time an artist. All of the photographers asked their mothers to take part in their projects concerning nakedness. This transgression of cultural taboo seems to be an important sign and also identity question. The article is based on ideas of Michel de Certeau and Paul Ricoeur, who points relations between closeness and alienation. The artists construct, de-construct and re-construct the history of family, the rules of family life and also they query the role of individual human being in a society. The term “tactic”is used here in a Michel de Certeau way of understanding this word. It means that tactic is an individual form of using already existing institutions, traditions or practices in a more personal or communal sense. Artistic practices are ways of parasitizing on main-stream culture strategies or psychological/psychoanalytical mechanisms. Tactics are like games, however game is not just postmodern play but also an area of discussing problems of relations between objectivity, freedom and attitude toward mother as the other, very specific other- the other who has been already in a very specific symbiotic relation with her child.

Tekst stanowi analizę projektów fotograficznych trzech artystów: Terry’ego Richardsona, Melanie Manchot oraz Evergona Lunta. Szczegółowym tematem interpretacji jest relacja pomiędzy dorosłym dzieckiem a rodzicem wyrażana we współpracy w tworzeniu projektów fotograficznych, w których występuje nagość. To przekroczenie kulturowego tabu staje się ważnym gestem, będącym zarazem tożsamościowym pytaniem. Artykuł  odwołuje się do koncepcji Michela de Certeau oraz Paula Ricouera, wskazując na relacje pomiędzy tożsamością a obcością oraz konstrukcją i re-konstrukcją rodzinnej historii oraz roli jednostki w społeczności. Taktyki, użyte tu są w rozumieniu Michela de Certeau, który wskazuje, że są to indywidualne sposoby użycia zastanych instytucji kulturowych, które zmieniają ich znaczenie, tak że stają się one bardziej spersonalizowane. W artykule przedstawione są zarówno taktyki, które  w swoisty sposób „pasożytują” na strategiach kultury wysokiej, ale także na mechanizmach psychologicznych czy psychoanalitycznych. Gra nie jest tutaj jedynie postmodernistyczną „zabawą”, ale stanowi niezwykle istotną przestrzeń rozważań nad podmiotowością  i relacją wolności/ swoistości do obcości, inności, wyrażanej w zupełnie niepowtarzalnej relacji pomiędzy dwiema osobami, które niegdyś występowały jako symbiotyczna jedność.

Umberto Eco's aesthetic theory shows a great continuity and coherence through decades. Both in Opera aperta (a pre-semiotic work published in 1962) and in Lector in fabula, inferential activity is at the very center of aesthetic experience and of interpretation in general. The musicological theory by Leonard B. Meyer was one of Eco's inspiration sources; it suggested the importance of this inferential activity and of the tensions it generates in producing emotional reactions to textual stimuli. But tensions are not the only way inferential activity contribute to aesthetic experience; tendencies too have an important role in it.
PL
Teoria estetyczna Umberto Eco wskazuje na swoją ciągłość i spójność przez dziesięciolecia. Zarówno w Opera aperta (pre-semiotycznej pracy opublikowanej w 1962 roku) oraz w ksiązce Lector in fabula wnioskowania znajduje się w samym centrum doświadczenia estetycznego i interpretacji w ogólności. Teoria muzykologiczna Leonarda B. Meyera była jednym z źródeł inspiracji Eco; sugeruje ona znaczenie wnioskowania oraz napięć, które generuje w produkcji emocjonalnych reakcji na bodźce tekstowe. Ale napięcia nie są jedynym sposobem funkcjonowania inferencji (wnioskowania) przyczyniającymi się do doświadczenia estetycznego; także tendencje odgrywają tu ważną rolę.

Translation in the Middle Ages did not involve the same constraints as translation today for various reasons, which this article will attempt to highlight through a semiotic analysis of the opposing powers and other translation-related pressures which interact in the translation process. This process involves a source language and a target language, but above all a source culture and target culture. Translation in the Middle Ages, like translation today, is primarily about taking into consideration certain constraints, some of which are shared between the two eras but which, in all cases, take into account the period in which they were translated. Indeed, an era involves modes of thought, political and religious ideologies, translation and stylistic practices that are unique to that particular time. If, as example periods, we have chosen two eras which are quite remote from each other, it is to demonstrate that the issues certainly differ, but not as much as one might imagine, particularly in certain political and ideological contexts.

The article focuses on intertextual relationships observed between literature and painting. The visual and linguistic systems comprising these art forms belong to different semiotic codes, which materialise through secondary modelling systems. The modelling systems, in turn, consist of relational signs and are governed by rules allowing for alternative modes of combination. The relational signs are ontologically discrete and, as a result, have a greater connotative than denotative potential. The rules of combination are restricted by literary genres, composition, and a painting perspective that constitute the macrostructure of a text. The aim of the article is to present how languages and visual signs express the same mental operations and establish an intertextual dialogue in a literary and visual text. The premise of the study is the assumption that a word and a picture are equivalent and translatable. Therefore, the grounds for their description should be the composition of signs and its relationship with other texts of culture, not the form that constitutes them

At a time when humanity experiences its greatest advances, major conflicts and abuses arise around the world due to a lack of humanism and reason within the meaning of the Enlightenment. Modernity and western comfort in our globalized society have not helped share and balance the wealth, nor preserve the natural resources; it has not prevented crimes against humanity nor the most insane dictatorial actions of the 20th and early 21st centuries. This went hand in hand with a massive degradation of the environment. Could the animal be the solution to all the mistakes we have made during the last century, instead of being considered an inferior, a slave? Could he not be the one who has managed the best in the fields of intelligence, self-regulation and respect of his vital environment? Should we not rather turn toward the animal to find a new balanced model? Respecting the environment and his peers seems to be the most striking evidence of intelligence, does it not? The animal has achieved this. Man has not. Focusing on the way man has treated animals may therefore help us to understand why we have treated our peers so badly.
