Ve dnech 14. a 15. prosince proběhl na FHS a na AVU workshop na téma „Peirce's Semiotics and the Arts“. Workshop vedli zahraniční hosté Francesco Bellucci a Frederik Stjernfelt. Na dvě z jejich přednášek Legisigns and Their Variants (F. Bellucci) a Propositions and Artworks (F. Stjernfelt) se nyní můžete podívat na záznamu níže.
In his celebrated Languages of Art (1968) Nelson Goodman said that any theory of art must do some preliminary work into the theory of symbols or notational systems. A crucial element in Goodman’s theory of notation is the distinction between a “character” and the “instance” of a character. This, as Goodman recognizes, is the distinction made by Charles S. Peirce between a “type” sign and a “token” sign. In this talk, I will reconstruct the steps by means of which Peirce arrived at his type/token distinction in the context of his classification of signs.
Much work has been done using aspects of Peirce’s semiotics in the analysis of artworks in literature, painting, film, etc., oftentimes using the icon-index-symbol distinction. Rarely, however, has the central role of propositions, or Dicisigns, in Peirce been acknowledged in the art context. Here, I shall address the role of propositions in artworks along two axes: 1) the role of Ingardian “quasi-propositions” in fictional artworks; 2) the deliberate modernist aesthetic strategy of weakening or blurring propositional structure of the artwork – which may coincidentally have contributed to the failing recognition of artistic propositions more generally.
Workshop byl podpořen v rámci projektu GAČR 22-17984S „Ohniskové obrazy: násilí a nelidskost v současném umění a mediální kultuře“ řešeným na FHS UK, ZČU a AVU. // The workshops are a result of the GAČR project 22-17984S „Focal images: Violence and Inhumanism in contemporary art and media culture“ investigated at FHS UK, ZČU and AVU.
