A Survey on the Semantic Field of ‘Vagabond’

How we perceive a certain concept is grounded in the ‘language game’: the values, prejudices, dispositions, and cultural baggage among its interpretive communities. In other words, there is no ‘true meaning’ inherent in a word per se; rather the meaning is derived out of what Derrida (1993) calls the ‘chain’ of signifi cation: the context, history, contingency, and often semantic contradictions that render a word polysemic. Taking off from here, this paper seeks to unpack the social ‘constructivism’ immanent in the a priori assumptions that cloak the idea of the ‘vagabond’. While invoking the contingency in the genesis and semantic history of ‘vagabond’ as a case study, this paper illustrates how meanings of certain heuristic concepts – in this case, ‘vagabond’, without a fixed referent – are often (re)configured, not because of reasons entirely linguistic, but rather due to changes in the prevailing epistemic paradigms.

While nowhere does he use the term to refer to his own theory, Aristotle is often thought to exemplify an early correspondence theory of truth. In the paper, I examine the textual evidence used to support the idea that Aristotle holds a correspondence theory of truth, and to infer the nuances of this theory. I hold that Aristotle’s theory of truth can account for terms that signify non-existent things, i.e., that on Aristotle’s account, an assertion is not automatically false given its subject term’s “failure to refer”. Terms do not refer for Aristotle, they signify (and his use of the concept of signification extends far beyond linguistic reference).

In the work of contemporary French-speaking Belgian author, François Emmanuel, music occupies a privileged place even if it is never the prime theme of his books. Music inspires some formal aspects of his writing, but mostly comes to complete and enrich the meaning of the stories based on traumas, voids and silences, where the language itself is often not enough to express fragile subjects.

Language in a broad sense becomes imperative for communication to ensue. Language considered as a system of signs and signification is achieved through a process involving sign relations, e.g. semiosis. Charles S. Peirce’s Theory of Signs can provide a basic framework for the elucidation of the intelligibility of signs. Furthermore, the ability for generating sign processes in an organized manner is determined by what Thomas A. Sebeok designates as an organism’s modeling capacity. Modeling capacities range from primitive to complex, thus generating three orders of language corresponding to language as a Primary Modeling System (PMS), a Secondary Modeling System (SMS) and a Tertiary Modeling System (TMS). This Peirce-Sebeok framework for communication, which John Deely places as “postmodern,” is premised upon what he designates as the suprasubjective nature of sign relations and their equally suprasubjective function. Thus, Sebeok’s Modeling Theory together with Peirce’s doctrine on the nature and behavior of signs can be used to direct the generation as well as the interpretation of language systems in accordance with the ultimate norm of communication, that is, to reflect truth as an icon of reality.

The article is designed to demonstrate that the Western modern life world is constituted by the reconstruction of the natural environment in accordance with formal logical rules that are not derivable from contingent facts. Logical rules are selected as techniques in terms of their value to fulfill "needs" and hence to shape the environment into a "technical life world" that becomes globalized as "scientific" demanding that the life worlds of the others develop to become modern and technical. This means that the globalized technical life world is not a set of facts but signitive systems of logical, non-temporal and non-spacial vectors of "communication" taking precedence over the material-productive levels of any society.

Santrauka Šiame straipsnyje parodoma, kaip Vakarų modernusis gyvenamasis pasaulis steigiamas, rekonstruojant gamtos aplinką, pagal formalias logikos taisykles, kurios nėra išvedamos iš atsitiktinių faktų. Logikos taisyklės yra atrinktos kaip technikos pagal jų gebą patenkinti "poreikius" ir drauge formuoti aplinką kaip "techninį gyvenamąjį pasaulį", kuris tampa globalizuotas kaip "mokslinis". Toks pasaulis reikalauja, kad kitų gyvenamieji pasauliai taptų modernūs ir techniniai. Tai reiškia, kad globalizuotas techninis pasaulis nėra faktų rinkinys, bet reikšmingos loginių, nelaikiškų ir neerdviškų "komunikacijos" vektorių sistemos, iškylančios virš bet kokios visuomenės medžiaginių gamybinių klodų.

This study aims to theorise a sonic experience that is informed by psychotic, or more specifically schizophrenic, perception. This kind of experience, characterised mainly by dissipation of recognisable sounds into a multiplicity of fragments, manifests itself in certain experimental films from the 1960s and 70s. With the help from certain works of ‘anti-psychiatry movement’ and like-minded philosophers such as Michel Foucault or Gilles Deleuze, the study addresses how the auditory perception in schizophrenia can be expressed in cinema and in what ways it can problematise the dominant regime of signification. Two distinctive films, Jane Arden’s The Other Side of the Underneath (1972) and Frans Zwartjes’s Pentimento (1979), serve as case studies.

The present paper makes reference to its author’s work The Dynamics of Language (1976) and presents three basic and indispensable cate-gories for a theory and description of language, namely form, significa-tion, and location, with special emphasis on the last two. After a short introduction, the following problems are considered: (1) language theory and semantics, (2) language sign and the dichot-omy significans : significatum, (3) (morpho)semanteme and the trichot-omy: form, signification, location, (4) form, signification, and location in the process of encoding and decoding, (5) context and the contex-tual theory of meaning according to J. R. Firth, (6) the influence of context and speech situation on the signification of the el-ement of text. The conclusion (7) summarizes the presentation of the trichoto-my of the defining categories for the (morpho)semanteme, i.e. form, signification, and location, and of their role in the description of lan-guage and of the process of verbal communication. It also draws at-tention to the relation that holds between context in the broad sense and location in the sense defined in the paper and shows the ad-vantages following from the introduction of the latter concept into the theory and description of language.

L’article fait référence à l’ouvrage de son auteur intitulé The Dynamics of Language (1976) et il présente trois catégories de base essentielles dans la théorie et la description du langage, c’est-à-dire la forme, la signification et l’emplacement, en particulier les deux dernières. Après une courte introduction, on examine les questions suivantes : (1) la théorie du langage et la sémantique, (2) le signe linguistique et la dichotomie signifiant / signifié, (3) le (morpho)- sémantème et la trichotomie : forme / signification / emplacement, (4) la forme, la signification et l’emplacement dans le processus de codage et de décodage, (5) le contexte et la théorie contextuelle du sens selon J. R. Firth, (6) l’influence du contexte et de la consituation sur la signification d’un élément du texte. La conclusion (7) résume la présentation de la trichotomie des catégories définitionnelles du (morpho)sémantème, c’est-à-dire : forme, signification et emplace-ment, et leur rôle dans la description du langage et du processus de la communication verbale. On souligne aussi la relation entre le contexte au sens large et l’emplacement dans le sens défini dans l’article et on présente les bénéfices qui viennent de l’introduction de cette dernière notion dans la théorie et dans la description du langage.

Po krótkim wstępie rozwa-żane są następujące zagadnienia: (1) teoria języka a semantyka, (2) znak językowy i dychotomia significans : significatum, (3) (mor-fo)semantem i trychotomia: forma, sygnifikacja, lokacja, (4) forma, sygnifikacja i lokacja w procesie kodowania i dekodowania, (5) kon-tekst i kontekstualna teoria znaczenia według J. R. Firtha, (6) wpływ kontekstu i konsytuacji na sygnifikację elementu tekstu. Zakończenie (7) podsumowuje prezentację trychotomii kategorii definicyjnych (morfo)semantemu, czyli formy, sygnifikacji i lokacji i ich roli w opisie języ-ka i procesu komunikacji werbalnej. Zwraca też uwagę na stosunek zachodzący pomiędzy kontekstem w sensie szerokim a lokacją w ujęciu zdefiniowanym w artykule oraz podaje korzyści wynikające z wprowadzenia tego ostatniego pojęcia do teorii i opisu języka.

Analizuojamos pastarųjų 15 metų laikotarpio paminklų realizacijos ir konkursiniai projektai, skirti Gedimino prospekto aplinkoje Vilniuje esančioms aikštėms. Tyrimu siekiama atskleisti naujausių istorinės atminties įprasminimo kompozicijų charakteringiausius meninės kalbos bruožus, jų įtaką šiuolaikinių visuomeninių erdvių formai ir turiniui, taip pat išryškinti sociokultūrinės aplinkos Lietuvoje poveikį paminklinei raiškai. Straipsnis pradedamas nuo trumpos paminklų Gedimino aplinkos aikštėse statymo istorinės apžvalgos, kontekstualizuojančios dabartinius Arkikatedros, V. Kudirkos ir Lukiškių aikščių memorialinius sprendinius ir jų projektus. Didžiojo kunigaikščio Gedimino, daktaro V. Kudirkos paminklai, Lukiškių aikštės sutvarkymo bei simbolio "Laisvė" konkurso ir Sausio 13-osios memorialo projektiniai pasiūlymai nagrinėjami dėmesį kreipiant į jų sąveikos su architektūrine ir urbanistine aplinka, vaizdinių, medžiagų bei technologijų semantinį aspektą. Remiantis atlikta analize daroma išvada, kad šiandieninė paminklinė raiška daugiausiai grindžiama konservatyviomis ideologinėmis nuostatomis, plėtojama remiantis įprastais galios ženklinimo sprendiniais ir vaizdiniais, tačiau tarp konkursinių projektų gausėja tokių, kuriuose įžvelgiamos paminklo sampratos ribų plėtimosi ir inovatyvaus požiūrio į visuomeninių erdvių kūrimą tendencijos.

The paper deals with the recent projects of monuments and their realization for the squares of the central part of Vilnius. The aim of the analysis is to reveal essential features of recent memorial designs and their influence on the form and content of specific public spaces. The analysis of recent designs for Arkikatedra, V. Kudirka and Lukiškės Squares is contextualized with the help of a brief review of historic monuments of Vilnius. Particular attention is paid to the semantic aspect of architectural monument composition, imagery, technologies and materials. A conclusion is drawn that recent memorial designs for public squares are based on conservative ideology, and its development is mostly limited to traditional means of expression and usage of power symbols. Nevertheless, there are indications of a growing number of design proposals that are directed toward attempts to broaden the concept of monumental art and to bring out innovative tendencies.
