Conversations avec Jacques Fontanille

Cet entretien porte sur le parcours intellectuel de Jacques Fontanille, fondateur du Centre de Recherches Sémiotiques de l’Université de Limoges et responsable du Séminaire Intersémiotique de Paris, théoricien dont l’activité scientifique se mêle au parcours historique et théorique de la Sémiotique d’origine greimassienne. Dans cette interview par courrier électronique réalisée l’été 2006, Fontanille parle des épisodes qui ont marqué les débuts de son travail comme sémioticien et notamment dês développements les plus récents de la Sémiotique.

O Espectador como Narciso, o Teatro como Espelho: Considerações sobre as Peças 'Amor no Espelho', de Giovan Battista Andreini, e 'Narciso', de Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Theatre plays as Amor nello specchio, written by Giovan Battista Andreini in 1622, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Narcisse (1752), thematize the condition of a spectator submitted to the established morality or inserted in a determinate political structure. Thus, here the myth of Narcissus and the theme of mirroring do not restrict themselves to the realm of individualized psyche.

E. T. A. Hoffmann e Jacques Callot: a ficção da imagem

Hoffmann wrote several fairy tales, including "Princess Brambilla" (1821), which has an remarkable pictorial component: when it was published, the text went along with eight illustrations by Carl Friedrich Thiele, which were derived from original prints made by the Frenchman Jacques Callot. While Callot images portray the Italian theater of the Commedia dell'Arte, Thiele's works follow the plot of the narrative, representing the characters of Hoffmann, who disguise themselves because of the carnival that is taking place in Rome. The costumes and masks worn by the characters however do not ensure them full secrecy. Instead of a complete undercover, they lead to double meanings and double identities so that narrative levels and artistic references overlap and create an effect similar to a set of a polyphonic orchestra (which is a metaphor implied in the very subtitle, where the narrative is called a Capriccio).

A psicanálise aplicada ao sintoma: considerações sobre as duas clínicas de jacques lacan

Este artigo discorre sobre a psicanálise aplicada ao sintoma, promovendo uma reflexão sobre as duas clínicas de Jacques Lacan. O trabalho examina o deslocamento operado pelo autor, ao final de seu ensino, do conceito de sintoma, formação do inconsciente, para o conceito de sinthoma, com nova grafia, em um enfoque além do Édipo, ou seja, além do simbólico. Por fim, o estudo teórico destaca como a reformulação do conceito de sintoma possibilitou o surgimento de novas modalidades de intervenção analítica, em uma clínica mais acessível à população. Conclui-se que a tarefa analítica, na atualidade, não consiste em interpretar infinitamente, mas, sim, em sustentar a prontidão para acolher a surpresa.

Thou Shall Not Kill: Vegetarianism in the Christian Faith

Biblical justifications for a vegetarian diet seem to meet with much adversity within mainstream American culture. Texts suggesting that people were intended to be vegetarians can be found in the Bible. However, this interpretation of Biblical texts has not been widely accepted by Protestant Christianity. This research attempts to identifY social and religious characteristics of people who are vegetarian. Fundamentalism, denomination, belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, and strength of belief in Christianity are examined as factors related to supporting vegetarianism. The General Social Survey's data from 1993 and 1994 were used in this study. The data were analyzed using frequencies, means, cross tabulations. correlations, and regressions. The sample was 57% female and 87% white, the mean age was 46 and the average level of education was 13 years. The study found that, among the independent variables. belief in animal rights, rather than any specific religious views, had the strongest influence on vegetarianism.
