Deconstruction | Derrida | Gaus I 26 Deconstruction/Derrida/Ball: In Derrida’s version of postmodernism, the aim of interpretation is to expose and criticize the arbitrary or constructed character of claims to truth or knowledge, particularly by examining various binary oppositions or dichotomies such as knower/ known, object/representation, text/interpretation, true/false – a process that Derrida (1976)(1) calls ‘deconstruction’. Preresentation/Derrida: According to Derrida, all attempts to ‘represent’ reality produce, not knowledge or truth, but only different ‘representations’, none of which can be proven to be better or truer than any other. All social phenomena and forms of human experience – wars, revolutions, relations between the sexes, and so on – exist only through their representations or ‘texts’. And just as a literary text has many possible interpretations, so, says Derrida, do these other texts admit of multiple and contradictory ‘readings’ or interpretations. And all interpretations of meaning are in the final analysis ‘indeterminate’ and ‘undecidable’. As Derrida famously puts it, ‘there is nothing outside the text’ and even within the text its constitutive concepts or ‘signifiers’ have no stable meaning. Ambiguities within the text only increase with the passage of time and multiple and varied readings, until the text’s signifiers float freely and playfully apart, so that the reader – not the author – constructs whatever meaning the text may be said to have. Thus ‘the death of the author’ refers not to a physical fact but to an artifact of postmodernist interpretation. >Facts/Postmodernism, >Postmodernism/Ball, >Interpretation/Postmodernism. 1.

Effect | Eco | I 78 Effect/Eco: the aesthetic effect lies just as much on the referential as on the emotive side. It is the equation of signifier and signified, of vehicle and sense. The aesthetic sign is the iconic sign. The characteristics are truly embodied. >Exemplification, >Icons. |

Ideology | Laclau | Gaus I 14 Ideology/Laclau/Mouffe/Freeden: Theorists such as Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe have emphasized the discursive nature of ideology, and the way in which it articulates a social unity in a hegemonic manner. They also point out the existence of concepts, ‘empty Gaus I 15 signifiers’, to which no signified, no external social phenomenon, condition or object, corresponds. On that understanding, for example, the term ‘order’ is an empty concept, referring to inadequate representations of social stability because no complete order can ever exist. In contradistinction to AngloAmerican political philosophy, the emphasis here is on the impossibility of making truth statements, on the illusory nature of representing reality, let alone discerning essential meanings, and on the functional rather than ethical potential of thinking about politics (Laclau and Mouffe, 1985(1); Laclau, 1996(2); Norval, 2000(3)). >Ideology/Freeden. 1.

Interpretation | Eco | II 77 Interpretation/Eco: Definition Interpretans: the interpretans is what guarantees the validity of the sign even in the absence of the interpreter. The most fruitful hypothesis seems to be that of considering the Interpretans as another representation referring to the same object. Problem: a process of infinite semiosis opens up. >Regress, >Representation. Language: language would be a system that clarifies itself through successive systems of conventions that explain each other. >Language, >Conventions. II 78 Interpretans/Eco: Interpretans is the meaning of a signifier, understood by its essence as a cultural unit, which is indicated by another signifier in order to show its independence (as a cultural unit) from the first signifier. >Presentation, >Image, >Picture. |

Language | Lacan | Prechtl I 119 Language/Lacan: Row of signifiers: social order - the subject is not sovereign. - It only has access to his experience within the frame of meanings. >Meaning. --- Pagel I 17 Language/Lacan: is the ultimate agent. >Subject/Lacan. I 44 Language/Lacan: Language is not a substance but a form. The human speaks, but he does so because the symbol has made him a human. I 46 Significant/Lacan: the function of the signifier is not to represent the signified! The relatively insignificant can be the actually effective. That which counts and does not tell. Expulsion of the signifier is its effect, not a content severity. I 46 Language/Lacan: neither representation nor instrument. Rather, a "differential articulation". The sense is always a retrospective product. >Sense, >Signs, >Designation. I 48/49 Metonymy/Lacan: displacement of meaning. Middle of the unconscious, to outwit the censorship. (Like Freud). >Metonymy. I 53 Language/Lacan: demands renounce of the narcissistic insistence of "me or you". It requires subordination to a universality of commonality. (Similar to Hegel). I 55 Language/Lacan: with the language, we can persuade ourselves without knowing that we have deceived ourselves, since the language talks to us. Cf. >Persuasion/Aristotle.

Language | Locke | Black II 130 Language/Locke/Black: to transmit thoughts - (>ideas). --- Euchner I 33 Language/Locke: 1. recording 2. communication of thoughts 3. ease and speed of communication. Language also is a prerequisite for society. >Communication, >Society. --- Euchner I 170 Language/Locke/Euchner: today: Locke fails to recognize the irreducible linguistic basics of empirical perception - but the correction has already been created: to include also abstract and general ideas among the empirically given, of which each reconstruction of knowledge must start. >Idea/Locke, >Perception/Locke, >Perception/today's theories, >Reality/today's theories, >Language/today's theories. --- Arndt II 181 Language/knowledge/LockeVsPascal/VsPort Royal/Arndt: 1. no necessary relations between concepts 2. It is not clear how their content determination leads to mind independent objects. Language/Descartes/Pascal: subsequent codifying of objects. Locke: actual constitution of objects. II 183 Linguistic expression/Locke: "nodes" in which ideas, summarized in the mind, find their stable expression. We must refrain from words and look at meanings. - But the ideas are something almost finished. Arndt: problem: then indicators more representative than synthetically. Words: signify directly the idea, objects only indirectly. II 188 Ideas/meaning/Locke: analysis of ideas identical to the analysis of the meanings - language: not only a means of communication but also of knowledge. Clarity/LockeVsDescartes: in his view bound to naming. Presupposes the possibility of clear signification. II 199 Language: is signifier at the same time and presupposes objectivity. II 206 Language/Locke: is already finished: no one creates the abstract idea "fame" before he has heard the name. - So independence of the mixed modes of the existence of the signified - thus one can understand names before they were applied to existing things (!) E.g. So punishments can be established for not yet committed acts. Punch line: dependence on community is result of the independence of the existence of the signified. Translation: problem: nominal essence: change from community to community. Language ultimately relates to particular therefore we learn name first. >Translation, >Names. --- Saussure I 34 Language/Locke: These words are signs of ideas in consciousness - ideas in turn are signs for objects outside of consciousness. >Signs, >Words. |

Magical Thinking | Lévi-Strauss | I 23 Magical Thinking/Lévi-Strauss: one could consider the rigour and precision of magical thinking and ritual practices as the expression of an unconscious notion of the truth of determinism. I 22 Magic/Witchcraft/Evans-Pritchard: seen as a system of natural philosophy, it contains a theory of causes: misfortune arises from the magic that cooperates with the forces of nature. (E.E. Evans-Pritchard 1955(1)) I 34 The mythical thinking, although trapped in images, is already generalizing, i.e. scientific, because it works with analogies and comparisons. .... However, reconstructions with the same materials are always related to past purposes and play in this the role of means.

Photography | Barthes | Röttger-Denker I 25 Photography/Barthes: through its absolutely analogical nature and the paradox of a "message without code", photography enhances the utopian character of denotation. Depoliticization and "denunciation". Röttger-Denker I 106 > href="https://philosophy-science-humanities-controversies.com/listview-list.php?concept=Picture+%28Image%29">Picture, > href="https://philosophy-science-humanities-controversies.com/listview-list.php?concept=Picture+%28Mapping%29">Mapping, >Image, >Symbols, >Icons. Photography/Barthes: eidolon: eidolon is that what is photographed, i.e. the referent, the target of photography. Röttger-Denker I 112 Photography/Sartre: photography is meaningless in magazines, since the persons were captured, but without existential creation. Sartre: "We have consciousness, in some way, to revive the photo, to give it its life, to make a picture of it." Röttger-Denker I 113 Barthes: he did not deepen this question of the "pathetic" in the photo. Instead: I see, so look, so watch, so I think. >Seeing, >World/Thinking. Röttger-Denker I 113 Photography/Barthes: Adventure of the image: good photography is like a classical sonata: two themes: study and punctum. Studies: »To like, not to love« (half-hearted desire). "Punctum": emerges from the scene, not from the viewer. A wound is inflicted on me. For example, in the photograph »Portrait de la famille« a shock is triggered by the woman's buckle shoes. Paradox: even only a detail fulfills the whole photography. Röttger-Denker I 114 "Third sense" (troisieme sens): the third sense is a signifier without signified. (The films of Eisenstein). Photography/Barthes: despite the chemical development: the non-developable, also the note writing of a haiku cannot be further developed, deepened. Everything is already given. Röttger-Denker I 119 Photography/Barthes: "What I see is not a memory, no imagination, no part of the Maya, how art has enchanted them, it is the reality in the past state. In one the past and the real. This aspect of the photo makes me wonder: how come I live here and now? Röttger-Denker I 120 Photography/Barthes: in contrast to the fictionality of language, it does not invent anything. Röttger-Denker I 123 Photography/Barthes: due to the force of the evidence the photo cannot be deepened, cannot be pierced through. Looking at it is safe - unlike the text. Röttger-Denker I 127 Photography/Barthes: Not art, but magic, emanation of the past. The power of photography does not refer to the object, but to the time. The pathos and melancholy of photography lies in being without a future. Time halts. The time of the picture, the object and the viewer are bundled. The simultaneity prevents a wandering of the thoughts, a dreaming. |

Semiotics | Ricoeur | II 7 Semiotics/Ricoeur: (...) [the] two sciences [semiotics and semantics] are not just distinct, but also reflect a hierarchical order. The object of semiotics - the sign — is merely virtual. Only the sentence is actual as the very event of speaking. This is why there is no way of passing from the word as a lexical sign to the sentence by mere extension of the same methodology to a more complex entity. The sentence is not a larger or more complex word, it is a new entity. There is therefore no linear progression from the phoneme to the lexeme and then on to the sentence and to linguistic wholes larger than the sentence. Each stage requires new structures and a new description. II 8 The distinction between two kinds of linguistics - semiotics and semantics - reflects this network of relations. Semiotics, the science of signs, is formal to the extent that it relies on the dissociation of language into constitutive parts. Semantics, the science of the sentence, is immediately concerned with the concept of sense (...). Ricoeur: For me, the distinction between semantics and semiotics is the key to the whole problem of language (...). II 21 If language were not fundamentally referential, would or could it be meaningful? (>Dialogue/Ricoeur). How could we know that a sign stands for something, if it did not receive its direction towards something for which it stands from its use in discourse? Finally, semiotics appears as a mere abstraction of semantics. And the semiotic definition of the sign as an inner difference between signifier and signified presupposes its semantic definition as reference to the thing for which it stands. >Utterer’s Meaning/Ricoeur, ((s) Cf. >Semantics, >Speaker Meaning). |

AU Cass 12 Sign/re-entry/Luhmann: Re-entry: the distinction between signifier and signified as a distinction is the sign. - The sign is the unity of distinction. - The signifier is not the sign. This corresponds with a 2nd order observation. >Observation/operation/Luhmann, >Blind spot. I designate characters. - I designate my distinction - blind spot: the user of the sign cannot really use the unit as a unit. - For this he would need the concept of the sign. |

Texts | Barthes | Röttger-Denker I 35 Text/Body: Geno Text: the text body: are the spots, scratches, splashes on the images of Cy Twombly. Röttger-Denker I 37 Twombly: Twombly has often drawn in the dark. He trusted his hand.

Röttger-Denker I 41 Text/writing/scripture/S/Z/Barthes: "the writable" is the basic value. Binary code: Writable readable (scriptible lisible). Röttger-Denker I 42 The writable: writable is the Romanesque without the novel, the poetry without the poem, the essay without the representation, the writing without the style, the production without the product, the structuring without the structure." >Writing. Text/Barthes: (> Barthes Vs Tel Quel Group) the text desires me. The writing that includes the body, the body of lust. Röttger-Denker I 67 Twombly: here the distinction between écriture/peinture has become questionable. Barthes: Barthes brings Twombly's pictures in the context of the Satori (Zen experience), which causes the recognition, the subject to shift. It causes an emptiness in the language. The signifiers exchange themselves, in body, face and writing. Zen Master: "the mind of the perfect human is like a mirror. It does not hold on, but it does not refuse. He accepts, but he does not stop." Röttger-Denker I 72 Twombly/Barthes: he looks at his pictures in terms of the event. As a kind of theater, it is phenomenologically structured. Factum, chance, outcome, surprise, action. "The writing cannot find shelter, it is absolutely superfluous." The flower has been written down, then written away. ((s)> Serres). Twombly's unfinished pictures invite the viewer to co-produce. stroke: "Trace of his drive". Röttger-Denker I 77 Text/Barthes: The pleasure in the text (early work): here, above all, the connection between body and language was relevant, not as in tradition, the context of meaning and language. Röttger-Denker I 103 Text/writing/photography/Barthes: Barthes admits that his real desire is to ban the absence of the mother by writing. "Jardin d 'hiver" Photography: here the mother of Barthes is depicted as a five-year-old girl. Ecstatic certainty: écriture, Satori. Röttger-Denker I 146 Text/Barthes: the text cannot tell. It carries my body somewhere else. >Body/Barthes. |
