There are numerous kinds of accounts of the history semiotics, and a number of people have been claimed to be the founder or a classic of the present-day science of signs. It is primarily the nineteenth-century American pragmatist philosopher, Charles S. Peirce, and the Swiss linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure, who are usually taken to be its real initiators. Followers of the former use the English term semiotics, whereas those of the latter use the French term 'sémiologie', to refer to the general and specific study of signs today. In accordance with the subject matter of the present conference, the paper first discusses Saussure's reference to the study of signs, followed by a discussion of the work of two modern semioticians, Louis Hjelmselv and Roland Barthes, who have systematised and laid out the areas of modern semiology. It was only to a certain extent that the 'Saussurean' theory of signs was relied on by the next generation of semioticians (like the school of A. J. Greimas). Nevertheless, semiotics as it has consolidated and is applied worldwide today continues to think of Ferdinand de Saussure as one of its classics.

The main aim of the text is to analyse the narratological category “unreliability” in relation to the basic domains within which it is defined by the post classical narratology. The basis for the analysis are various texts − both the fictional and the nonfictional nature. In the scope of this study are fictional and nonfictional speakers and characters in relation to the three dimensions of textual worlds which are here understood as the strategy of construction of the meaning: the first is the domain or the construction of “truth”, the second is the domain or construction of “self” and the third one is the domain or constructing of the whole of the fictional world − the domain of the text. The author suggests in his study that while the first two domains are clamouring extra textual control activities, which is the relationship between text and context, only the third domain allows us to perceive unreliability as a narrative category as a category of narrative analysis.

The paper focuses on a textual analysis of Jiří Drašnar´s novel Desperados of the information age, attempting to determine the devices and narrative mechanisms by means of which the double, or rather triple cultural space is configured in the text – a space which is in its basic role manifests itself as an oscillation between indigenous and foreign spaces. The spatial aspect is discussed with respect to one of the contemporary trends of literary theory, the so-called spatial turn, which presents a methodological-thematic link in the post-colonial thought.

(Re)constructing Conflict and Dialogue in Soviet Estonia and Post-Soviet Estonia: on Multivocality in Understanding of History

The article poses a question as to the circumstances of adaptation between the Soviet power and the individual in Estonia. Relying on Yuri Lotman’s theory of the semiosphere, particularly on his notion of the “text within the text” and Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism, the question is posed as to the kind of “thinking device” the Soviet official language changed into in Estonia during the period of Soviet annexation. Two types of documents, Soviet court files and a post-Soviet life story are analysed comparatively to reveal the dynamics of the conflict from the standpoint of power on one side and the complexity of the individual experience from the other side. It is demonstrated that, from the point of view of an individual, the adaptation of the language of power is conditional and ambivalent, being linked to resistance, survival or the absence of alternative linguistic resources. On the other hand, it occurred that, being confronted with contesting voices, the language of power was not able to maintain its univocality in longer perspective.

About ten years ago the literary William J. T. Mitchell and the literary historian Gottfried Boehm declared the iconic turn in all sciences, which should have rehabilitated picture as a specific form of constructing meaning, independent of language. Their inspiration was the linguistic turn in philosophy and sciences in the 20th century. Thereby they brought to life a discussion, which, especially in German speaking countries, is gradually rebuilding the systematic of all sciences. Still more frequent are the calls for 'Bildwissenschaft', i.e. for a special icon-science which should be at least as successful as was the linguistic turn. The paper offers a systematic outline of this discussion held during the last 15 years. In addition to that it gives the basic historical, bibliographical and institutional data concerning the rise of this new icon-science.

CZECH STRUCTURALISM AND SEMIOTICS AS APOLOGY OF AVANT-GARDE

The present paper deals with the relationship between Czech structuralism and Avant-garde. Jan Mukařovský’s effort to constitute a universally valid model of art can be understood as an implicit apology for the avant-garde concept of art, as making its principles into the trans-historicaly valid “essence” of art. His project to formulate a dynamic structuralism by means of the connection of the idea of structure with the idea of dialectical antitheses, can be regarded as an attempt to justify the validity of the basic contradiction of the inter-war Avant-gardes: their efforts to liquidate art as an autonomous institution and transform art into life itself on one side, while on the other retaining the demiurgic ability of art and so its privileged position in social life, giving it an irreplaceable role and a new active autonomy. Also Mukařovsky´s idea of the semiotic nature of art, his model of art as an autonomous sign was a means of dialectical synthesis of autonomy and heteronomy. Nevertheless, Mukařovský’s model of art was not ideologically critical. It contained an implicit theoretical apology of the socially affirmative nature of Czech avant-garde art. Moreover, Mukařovský attempted to remove the antagonism, which had arisen between the academic study of art and anti-bourgeois Avant-garde.

'Visualisation' is nowadays one of the most expansive notions in cultural (semiotic) studies, including literary research. By means of introductory remarks to the periodical's present issue, the author discusses the notion's various meanings and applications - from' practical/service-oriented' in the domain of computer graphics, through to psychotherapeutic ones, various varieties of visual arts, anthropology of sensuality and its cultural forms, visual-arts concepts and visual arts' associations with literature, up to theoretical afterthought on the status of literary text.

Described are the general composition principles of frescos by Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) at the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, and the novelty of narrative techniques applied therein. The 'Kiss of Judas' is analysed and compared against the Gospel-based 'give-up' scene as well as the categories of 'faithfulness' and 'trustfulness' as interpreted in the early Christianity. Another topic is the anthropological dimension of the sacrifice of Christ. The essay's conclusive section characterises the Florentine Renaissance as one of the 'axial ages' (quoting Karl Jaspers' notion) in the history of mankind.

This essay is focused on the phenomenological qualification not only - as demonstrated by Elmar Holenstein in particular - of linguistic aspects of the Prague School, but also its literary-studies aspects. One must also take into account the transcendental result of a given impulse, of the determining status of the opposite transcendental gestures of an artistic text. It is useful in this connection to imagine the shifts in the composition of the 'artistic situation', which arise from Mukarovsky's 1943 distinction between the work-thing and the work-sign.

The paper aims to present and interpret the methods of literary history developed by Felix Vodicka, one of the main representatives of Czech structuralism. The paper describes the variables of the paradigm in the field of literary history and the reasons for this metamorphosis. Attention is focused on the most significant notions of the structuralist analysis of the diachrony of structure: aesthetic object, aesthetic norm, esthetic function and aesthetic value, which were traditionally connected with the synchronic point of view of analysis, and which Vodicka strives “to translate” into the language of diachronic analysis.

The subjects of the study are the semiotic and communicational aspects of rhythm. These aspects are approached from the point of view of a theory called rhythmanalysis, drawing on philosophers such as dos Santos, Bachelard and Lefebvre. The first part explores in what way the structurally oriented semiotics and linguistics contribute to understanding the rhythms. The next one focuses on the anthropologically oriented rhythmanalysis and its results when applied in the study of individual and social demonstrations of rhythm. In the final part the attention is drawn to the concept of polyrhythm.

Combination of Word and Image has been recently made part of literary works, with increasing frequency (e.g. novel narratives or lyrical monologues). In such cases, image becomes part of the utterance itself, finding a place for itself in a certain sender-receiver relationship arrangement, thus also becoming a pole of various meaning-generating tensions and an integral part of the entire work. The article aims at discussing the role that images, i.e. iconic signs, play in the structure of artistic pieces of this sort. The main focus is on the multiple semiotic games whose basis is the clash of differing sign-based orders, world-representing forms and communicative conventions. Analysis of selected pieces aims at showing the multiplicity of possible functions ascribed to visual elements as part of verbal text. A comparison of the achievements of a few selected writers is also convincing of how mutually remote positions were assumed by artists against the significative value of iconic sings (from affirmation, criticism, through to problematisation). The condition for the reader to understand the arrangement s/he comes across is, therefore, to find its suspected motivations, to discover the premises providing the grounds for such a course of presentation, and, to formulate a hypothesis restoring the coherency of a text being based upon two incommensurable orders of meaning.

The author of the study explores the dynamics of the peripeties in the developments in literary-scientific thinking in broader contexts of cultural life in Slovakia. He describes the individual personalities and points out the uniqueness of their contributions to the literary scientific discourse, as well as Slovak cultural milieu while depicting them as phenomena transcending national and cultural boundaries as well as boundaries among disciplines. The contexts of reflections between the poles of modernity and conservatism create: abstract art, visual avant-garde, Russian formalism, Viennese neo-positivism, psychoanalysis, structuralism and semiotics. The author outlines the semiotic conception of language and a whole range of transtextuality (intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, architextuality and hypertextuality), metonymy and metaphor, the problem of the archeology of cultural memory, post-structuralism and pulsation aesthetics.

The article offers an alternative story about the structuralism in science, philosophy, and semiotics based on the exposition of Ch. S. Peirce's philosophical project - pragmatism. Contemporary tendency to consider structuralism as naive and dead is put in contrast with the reassessment of the potential of structuralism in natural sciences and linguistic anthropology.

FROM THE LINGUISTIC TURN TO THE REFERENTIAL TURN: THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THEORY IN THOMAS G. PAVEL Ś AND LUBOMÍR DOLEŽAL Ś CRITICISM

The paper delineates conditions of theoretical transformations in the works of Lubomír Doležal and Thomas G. Pavel, starting from the assumption that their cultural evolution has been similar. Not only did they share the same ideological background, common to the East and Central European countries under the Soviet regime, but their theoretical options were coloured by the same dilemmas. Originally they were promoters of the structuralist linguistic methods, they both embraced linguistic approaches to literature in their first books only to depart from them later in favour of the possible world theory. A comparative focus on the stages of their evolution from the linguistic turn to the referential turn is needed. The study emphasizes both the specificities of this evolution – indebted to the autochthonous tradition of the two authors – and its paradigmatic aspect: the mobility of their theoretical reflection enacts the metamorphosis of the literary studies throughout the last half century.

The author questions the traditional views of pragmatism and semiotics as having originated independently one from the other; i. e. that of Peirce creating semiotics first and pragmatism following afterwards, or vice versa. For him it seems more plausible that semiotics and pragmatism were just two parts of Peirce’s early project which brought together philosophy and science. This provided the basis for what has yet to be developed, namely the project of “semiotic pragmatism”, or, more generally, the “semioticization of philosophy”. The article outlines this very project, which R. Rorty had misunderstood and therefore completely ignored. The author contends that pace Rorty, the meaning of semiotics is as important to pragmatism as the meaning of pragmatism is to semiotics. However, he shows, how these two seemingly antagonistic versions of pragmatism could be reconciled.

The aurhor studies the relationship between image and text. This relationship is becoming rather peculiar, since in the present, the image rarely exists without the text and it is even harder to find the text without the image. Let alone the fact, that script as the base of the text, has origin in the image, as well as, that we are still more frequently coming across 'words in image', as stated by Michel Butor. Despite this, semiotic problem of the relationship between text and image, it has never been adequately handled, at least not in its whole complexity. All the previous contributions to this theme led mostly only to the emergence of the ad hoc conceptions, whose generalisations and accuracy have scarcely been discussed, or they stimulated the origin of general, but too vague terms, like the terms anchorage and relay, introduced by Roland Barthes. The aim of the presented paper is to draw the system of the interaction between text and image, which would account for the condition of generalisation. The author studies the relationship between text and image from the perspective of its multicoded character and utterance's homogeneity, he touches upon the system of syntactic relations, connectors and semantic relations. The taxonomy introduced in this paper, obviously does not exhaust all the cases of the relationship between text and image. The question of the relationship between the utterance and the act of uttering is mentioned only partly, the author left aside the question of the formal intersection of image and text, which provides the text with pictorial value. The presented contribution is definitely a sufficient proof that this essential problem can be dealt with in the scope of general semiotics, whose main credit is, that it does not overestimate the function of language in the type of combined communication, which was and will be used by all the cultures.

The study is aimed at the analysis of the particular expressive qualities (semiotically linked with linguistic and thematic elements) of Miguel de Unamuno’s “Mist” and their function and validity in literary communication. The style-oriented research enables the identification of differences as well as cooperation between discursive and presentational modes in Unamuno’s essays and fiction. Several aspects of genre were considered and Unamuno’s method of creating personae was taken into account in order to explicate the indexical, metonymical relationship between Tragic Sense of Life in Men and in Peoples and Mist. It is not only Unamuno’s thought that guides his fiction but also his narrative production and aesthetics of paradoxes and contradictions that contextualizes his philosophy. The works of Miguel de Unamuno show that the area between philosophy and literature can be characterized by increased semiotic activity. In the circumstances, the function of metalepsis as a means of open extradiegetic communication between the author, literary characters and the reader and as a representation of the agonistic principle of perception of the world and reality is highlighted.
