DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The last half of the twentieth century has seen the emergence of literary theory as a new discipline. As with any body of scholarship, various schools of thought exist, and sometimes conflict, within it. I.R. Makaryk has compiled a welcome guide to the field. Accessible and jargon-free, the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Literary Theory provides lucid, concise explanations of myriad approaches to literature that have arisen over the past forty years. Some 170 scholars from around the world have contributed their expertise to this volume. Their work is organized into three parts. In Part I, forty evaluative essays examine the historical and cultural context out of which new schools of and approaches to literature arose. The essays also discuss the uses and limitations of the various schools, and the key issues they address. Part II focuses on individual theorists. It provides a more detailed picture of the network of scholars not always easily pigeonholed into the categories of Part I. This second section analyses the individual achievements, as well as the influence, of specific scholars, and places them in a larger critical context. Part III deals with the vocabulary of literary theory. It identifies significant, complex terms, places them in context, and explains their origins and use. Accessibility is a key feature of the work. By avoiding jargon, providing mini-bibliographies, and cross-referencing throughout, Makaryk has provided an indispensable tool for literary theorists and historians and for all scholars and students of contemporary criticism and culture.

Est-ce le resultat d'une heureuse rencontre ou la preuve de la pertinence du système de pensée qui l'a produite? Est-ce l'absence d'une présentation scientifique de la sémiotique de Peirce qui autorise cette interrogation? Cet essai montre précisément, au moyen d'une formalisation qui épouse au plus près le contenu des manuscrits de Peirce, la possibilité d'approcher scientifiquement les phénomènes sémiotiques. Partant d'une formalisation de la perception en termes de structures relationnelles, l'auteur réconstruit l'ensemble des conceptions phénoménologiques et sémiotiques de C.S. Peirce, retrouve et discute toutes ses taxinomies et va au-delà en montrant l'existence de structures d'ordre naturelles (treillis) sur les ensembles de classes de signes. Une méthodologie d'analyse des signes complexes en découle et est appliquée notamment a la théâtrologie, l'idéologie, l'épistémologie, l'ethnométhodologie...La semiosis est décrite comme un processus impliquant des communautés humaines par le biais des institutions et des habitus. Une annexe rassemble 76 textes de Peirce définissant le signe dont un grand nombre sont inedits.
