Yuri Lotman started his research activity in the field of literary theory (widely: theory of culture) as orthodox structuralist at the beginning of the 1970s. The concept of structure has been based on the structural linguistic theories and adopted to develop research on literary works as well as “cultural texts”. The last ones concern the perception of structure not only in terms of the “level of expression”, but also the “level of content” that can be analysed with the use of peculiar procedures. The strict procedures rely on distinguishing the set of “binary oppositions” in the “structure of content” to illustrate the author’s perception of reality and his “model of the world”. Lotman was convinced that ideological and artistic structures are immersed in history. They have a dynamic nature (likewise the culture which was seen as the complicated “semiosphere” with its processes, predictable or unpredictable as well as the innovative “explosion” mechanisms). Therefore, Lotman in his later years moves away from cultural self-models based on “binary oppositions” to “ternary” system. In spite of the evident evolution of his concepts Lotman was always devoted to the doctrine of knowledge and never left the humanistic ideals using them for research purposes. The scientific models and sources of inspiration could be changeable, but pathos and scientific rationality never left him. His structuralism was at its peak with possibility of evolution, infinitely flexible, individual, accidental, unpredictable or even “explosive”, but never was the betrayal of previous ideals.

The paper addresses an issue that is usually hardly noticed, but some may have become aware of during the COVID-19 pandemic: There are various situations in which texts justifiably seem to be missing. However, the lack of texts does not necessarily affect all participants of that non-existent communicative situation. What these situations have in common is that there are apparently no texts that fulfill the situational expectations. Nevertheless, it is possible to draw conclusions from the resulting voids. From our point of view, such implicatures should definitely be considered from a text- linguistic perspective, especially if one understands the communicative practice of a society in all its facets as part of an empirically approachable textual reality. Thus, on the basis of selected examples, we will show that under certain circumstances even ‘no texts’ do indeed ‘express’ something which we can infer based on knowledge and experience, on the one hand, depending on the specific reading situation, and on the other hand, in connection with certain socially relevant discourses.

Lethal Program of Culture vs the Whole of Presentation. Presentation of Body without Organs

The culture of signs is a recurrent term in philosophy. It does not allow mindless programs to win. Thanks to it, it is possible to put trust in model, holistic approaches rather than the linguistic determination of meanings. The process of departing from philosophical reflection, which has always been holistic, expressed with the diagram: ideas – notions – definitions, is here reversed. Presentations allow the return to ideas; ideas have more of the imaginary than the symbolic. The concept of the Body without Organs depicts a new form of sensualisation directed not at gaining permanent representations but at the possibilities of switching various functions of experience.

The article discusses two mystery novellas: The Grey-Eyed Demon by Jakub Arbes (1840–1914) and Michaela by Miloš Urban (b. 1967). Although the gap between the two texts is more than 130 years, a common influence of gothic novel is discernible in both of them. Each of the works, however, adapts this influence in different cultural and literary contexts. Arbes entered the world of Czech literature in the 1860s and his ambition was to create a genre of prose narrative that would be able to absorb both the techniques of high literature and the elements of popular reading. By achieving this, he wanted to create a modern literary genre. The Grey-Eyed Demon is an exemplary case of such an encounter. In this text, Arbes makes use of the devices of gothic fiction, whose romantic itinerary, however, the author tries to transform into a realistic mode of representation. Theencounter of two different sets of artistic techniques and principles in this romanetto, however, is not without some difficulties, represented by striking „seams“ that are discernible especially on the thematic and narrative levels. It is not without interest that, in the same year, Arbes published an important romanetto, entitled Saint Xaverius, in which these dividing lines are not as obvious – indeed, Saint Xaverius is one of the peaks of Arbes’s oeuvre. Urban’s novella is a different case of contextualisation of gothic fiction. Urban makes use of the genre’s devices in post-modern fiction, in which they serve an entirely different purpose. In this case, it is an indexical reference (thematisation) to an older genre, which had lost its direct lineage in literature. This reference takes place within a post-modern tendency, which might be understood as discourse overlapping, a palimpsest-like quality, a semantic game based on re-contextualisation of historicising themes, motifs and other elements.

As well as a study on the right of silence with regard to written texts, this paper also investigates the two cases in terms of icons and indices: a text may be indexical of a basic human right, and then may become an icon of that right. The European Court of Human Rights considers the particular section of the relevant statute as an icon of the "regulatory regime".

The subject of the author’s research are literary texts of the chronicle type, read as texts rather than as sources of learning historical facts (in the case of historians) or the history of artistic forms (in the case of literature specialists). the author compares two chronicles from the same territory: The Żywiec Chronicles from the Ancient Times to 1845, written by Franciszek Augustin (mid-19th century) and Chronography by Jędrzej Komoniecki (early 18th century), attempting to employ a semiotic approach to interpreting them. the differences between the two analysed accounts result from changes in the reading of the world, which occurred between the early 18th century and the mid-19th century. this is visible for example in the methodology of hierarchizing the importance of facts and “finding” their meaning by the authors of the two chronicles. the 19th--century account largely conforms to the rigours of the genre, with its limitations with regard to poetics, rhetoric, forms, and techniques of presenting events. in Chronography, the limitations imposed by literary conventions are shattered by the force of the narrative, by searching for unusual things, curiositates, marvels, unexplained phenomena and wonders which can be observed at fairs and executions. in Komoniecki’s work, the rigours of the chronicler’s presentation are jumbled with the style of other accounts; poetics – and, most importantly, the related semiotics – intermingle. this is at odds with the style of the 19th-century chronicle, whose attention is focused on facts. On the basis of his observations, the author argues that the main task of a historian of culture should be to attempt to reconstruct “reading” competences, notions and most importantly semiotics, which “rule” perception, sequencing reality, separating, hierarchizing and legitimising “facts.” Consequently, the history of culture becomes also the history of communication, since the analysed texts also need to be seen in broad communication contexts. the author also argues that the reconstruction of the semiotics of both discussed chronicles requires an analysis of their texts as texts and capturing their various narrative strategies, poetics, rhetoric, topic, intertextual tensions resulting e.g. from the presence of elements of oral culture, information and structures of colloquial thinking, quotes and semi-quotes of folklore and scientific knowledge, literary topoi and old beliefs.

The integration of sciences is necessary for multidimensional exploration and explanation of language functioning in real semiotic situations. Word meaning identification is only a step mediating a further search for personal interpretation in the process of spontaneous semiosis.

In two English cases which reached the European Court of Human Rights in the mid-2000s, it was argued that the statutory requirement on the part of a motorist who has been caught speeding to give the police information concerning the identity of the driver of the car at the time of the offence is a violation of the right of silence by which a person should not be put into a position that s/he incriminates him/herself. The right of silence is one of the conventional interpretations of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. As well as a study on the right of silence with regard to written texts, this paper also investigates the two cases in terms of icons and indices: a text may be indexical of a basic human right, and then may become an icon of that right. The European Court of Human Rights considers the particular section of the relevant statute as an icon of the "regulatory regime".

At the end of the twentieth century, the phenomenon of mass culture was the focus of scholarly attention with an ever increasing frequency: theorists of literature and cultural studies, as well as philosophers have developed a number of approaches to the study of popular culture: social, ideological and semiotic. Contemporary researchers are increasingly attracted to the question of the semiotic culture. In this regard, mass culture and accordingly literature are more and more frequently treated not only as a system of signs, but in fact as a sign itself. J. Lotman conducts his analysis through the prism of the literary process and his research methodology is based on literary methods. Once marginal (from the standpoint of the official literary and philosophical criticism), mass literature is going through the phase of ennoblement. It is dual-track in its “intergrowth” and is already facing up the oversignificant new system of modern cultural codes, while still being rooted in the low culture with its specific character of the text encoding. Therefore, following the principle of semiotic analysis, it is inevitable to take into account the interaction of several sign systems while considering the formative dynamics of the modern genrethemed version of popular literature.

This article attempts to demonstrate the potential of semiotics for translation studies. Even though semiotic paradigms can be observed across certain theories advocated by translation scholars, it seems that a clear and integrated semiotics-based model of translation has not been developed yet. The hypotheses developed in the article may help to answer the question whether it is feasible to draw a relevant model of translation that would include categories for the most significant variables influencing the process of translation. To this end the article offers an analysis of various research models and discusses the potential of a semiotic framework of reference.

An experiment investigated the assumption that natural indicators which exploit existing learned associations between a signal and an event make more effective warnings than previously unlearned symbolic indicators. Signal modality (visual, auditory) and task demand (low, high) were also manipulated. Warning effectiveness was indexed by accuracy and reaction time (RT) recorded during training and dual task test phases. Thirty-six participants were trained to recognize 4 natural and 4 symbolic indicators, either visual or auditory, paired with critical incidents from an aviation context. As hypothesized, accuracy was greater and RT was faster in response to natural indicators during the training phase. This pattern of responding was upheld in test phase conditions with respect to accuracy but observed in RT only in test phase conditions involving high demand and the auditory modality. Using the experiment as a specific example, we argue for the importance of considering the cognitive contribution of the user (viz., prior learned associations) in the warning design process. Drawing on semiotics and cognitive psychology, we highlight the indexical nature of so-calledauditory iconsornatural indicatorsand argue that the cogniser is an indispensable element in the tripartite nature of signification.

The article discusses the semiotic parameters of the locus of the study room in the Russian novel from the second half of the 19th century. It outlines the socio-cultural context that makes this locus topical in the works of the Russian novelists from the epoch after the reforms. The given examples of presence of the study room in the novels of I. Turgenev, I. Goncharov, F. Dostoevsky and L. Tolstoy are interpreted in several principle aspects: – objects in the composition and its selection – the relation character – material detail – semantic transformations and their motivation.

The paper examines a central question in the philosophy of dance from the vantage point of a specific choreographic practice: Movenglish. Movenglish attempts to establish a one-to-one mapping between English words and dance movement equivalents in the body in a way that maximally captures both the connotative and denotative aspects of the words in question. The paper argues that the success of Movenglish has several important consequences for the philosophy of dance as well as our understanding of sign systems more generally. The paper elaborates one of the strongest contributions to the philosophy of dance – the work of Susanne Langer – in order to show how the conclusions drawn from the dance produced through Movenglish both contribute to and depart from Langer’s philosophy.

Otakar Zich's On Poetic Types (1917–1918) represents not only an early contribution of his to the field of art theory in general and poetics in particular, but it also embodies important evidence documenting the process of the development of the author's theoretical views and interests. As such, the concrete ideas present in the study more or less directly correlate with Zich's later contributions to the fields of theatre and drama studies as well as semiotics and aesthetics. The ideas in On Poetic Types, however, also mirror the wider theoretical and methodological context of a particular period and stage of research. As such, Zich's suggestions can also be compared to ongoing and further developments within his fields of interest.

The article tries to describe in what ways John Calvin is presented in texts and images in the Internet and in pop culture. The author examines private websites about John Calvin, linguistic texts, drawings, comic strips and gadgets associated with him. She indicates some functions of semiotic changes of the reformer and extra-religious contexts in which he appears. The personality of the 16th century reformer and theologian has at least two functions: in the religious context it is “a symbol of resistance” against such phenomena as consumerism and hedonism and in the context of humour and satire, the message is incompatible with orthodox religious texts.
