Book by Culler Jonathan

To gain a deeper understanding of the literary movement that has dominated recent Anglo-American literary criticism, The Pursuit of Signs is a must. In a world increasingly mediated, it offers insights into our ways of consuming texts that are both brilliant and bold. Dancing through semiotics, reader-response criticism, the value of the apostrophe and much more, Jonathan Culler opens up for every reader the closed world of literary criticism. Its impact on first publication, in 1981, was immense; now, as Mieke Bal notes, 'the book has the same urgency and acuity that it had then', though today it has even wider implications: 'with the interdisciplinary turn taking hold, literary theory itself, through this book, becomes a much more widespread tool for cultural analysis'.
Jonathan Culler (1944- ), Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Cornell University, pioneered the application of semiotics to the study of literature in the English-speaking world. Other publications include Structuralist Poetics and On Deconstruction.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Knick im Buchrücken, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / binding rubbed, crease in spine, otherwise a good copy. - The primary task of literary theory, Jonathan Culler asserts, is not to illuminate individual literary works but to explain the system of literary significationthe rules and conventions that determine a reader's understanding of a text and that make literary communication possible. In this wide-ranging collection of essays, he investigates the possibilities of a semiotics of literature. Culler begins with an overview of the development of semiotics and its relation to deconstruction. He evaluates the reader- oriented theories of Jauss, Fish, Riffaterre, and Bloom, and treats such concepts current in literary theory today as intertextuality and the horizon of expectation. Through deconstructive analyses of metaphor and metonymy, of narrative and discourse, and of Romantic critical theory, Culler thoroughly explores the implications of deconstruction. / Contents Preface Acknowledgments Part One 1 Beyond Interpretation 2 In Pursuit of Signs Part Two 3 Semiotics as a Theory of Reading 4 Riffaterre and the Semiotics of Poetry 5 Presupposition and Intertextuality 6 Stanley Fish and the Righting of the Reader Part Three 7 Apostrophe 8 The Mirror Stage 9 Story and Discourse in the Analysis of Narrative 10 The Turns of Metaphor 11 Literary Theory in the Graduate Program References Index.
