Nuova puntata di Bla Bla Fantasy che chiude il ciclo tematico su lingue e linguistica nel fantasy e nella fantascienza. E chi meglio di Irene Lami, linguista e creatrice del podcast su Spotify "Saussure e Grida", potevamo contattare? Abbiamo parlato di Tolkien e delle mille lingue elfiche, delle varie lingue artificiali create nel tempo, dei nomi e dei luoghi impronunciabili che troppo spesso sono presenti nei mondi fantastici e delle implicazioni di poter parlare e comprendersi con un alieno. Una chiacchierata divertente, curiosa e piena di spunti nerdissimi.Link Spotify Saussure e Grida: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Zs4sbqou6mJtf8Cby0WNQ?si=b86a09bf6a33417eDiscord: https://discord.gg/zPH6EeEgfXCanale Telegram: https://t.me/blablafantasPagina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bla.blafantasy/

Jennifer souffre de troubles gastro-intestinaux depuis l'enfance. Ce n'est qu'au début de sa trentaine qu'elle reçoit un diagnostic : syndrome de l'intestin irritable. Après plus de vingt ans d'errance médicale, de souffrances et de honte, elle rencontre enfin un spécialiste à l'écoute, qui lui propose d'exclure certains aliments. Une étape clé dans son parcours de rétablissement, qu'elle complète en explorant le lien entre ses traumatismes, ses émotions et ses symptômes physiques. Philippe de Saussure, gastro-entérologue et psychothérapeute, apporte son regard sur ce syndrome, qui touche un peu plus de 10 % de la population.

Piše Miša Gams, bereta Eva Longyka Marušič in Igor Velše. Vpadljivo zeleno obarvano naslovnico zbirke pesnika, dramatika, prevajalca in kritika Petra Semoliča Žalostinke za okroglo Zemljo krasi polovična fotografija črne mačke, ki se tako ali drugače sprehaja skozi vso knjigo, Njen najudarnejši citat nemara lahko preberemo na zadnji platnici: “pri šestinpetdesetih / letih je nemara že čas / za kaj več kot nekaj besed / na papirju, morda vsaj za / majhno kartonsko škatlo / paradoks v obliki mačjega / telesa, prgišče sanj”. Mačko lahko razumemo kot pesnikovo ljubljenko in hkrati kot metaforo za preprosto in spontano življenjsko filozofijo o tem, da včasih besede nastopijo pred mislijo kot neke vrste stopinje iracionalnega, kateremu bi um moral slediti, če bi želel kdaj preseči omejujočo dihotomijo zahodnjaške miselnosti. Prav zato so “žalostinke” v zbirki zastavljene kot asociativen monolog, samorefleksija – in ne kot dialog – s književniki, slikarji, filozofi in psihologi, kot so Pirjevec, Jong, Rimbaud, Freud, Fromm, Bataille, Ginsberg, Pound, Peterson, Bauman, Žižek, Platon, Gramsci, Grimm, Carroll, Chomsky in še bi lahko naštevali. Semolič tudi sam priznava, da je za pesnika najtežje opravilo preseči svoj lastni solipsizem in stopiti v dialog z Drugim, saj v pesmi Slišal sem, da je moja poezija nema na koncu zapiše: “Vsaka pesem je pesem za gledanje / Tudi ta / A kako naj moja vasezagledanost / vznemiri tvojo / (vrti se v krogu, lovi lastni rep)”. Pesem z naslovom Pero bi lahko razumeli kot pesem o ptičjem peresu, ki v sebi hrani spomin na letenje in kožo, h kateri je bilo pripeto. A pero je lahko tudi Pero, Peter, ki prav tako išče svobodo in tudi njen osnovni pogoj – disciplino, ki je v določeni meri vendarle potrebna za pisanje pesmi: “Pero se spominja letenja / in kože / Pero odreže vzdih od diha / potegne črto / do tu sem jaz / od tu naprej je pesem.” Tudi v pesmi z naslovom Dva se protagonist razdeli na Petra Semoliča, ki misli na Prometeja, in Petra Semoliča, ki “poskuša izračunati razmerje med sveže zapadlim snegom in starostjo sprevodnika na nočnem vlaku”. Ko Prometej zapre oči, oba Semoliča zapreta računalnik in pustita, da se svet zamaje kot “beseda, ko vanjo trči rima”. Fascinacija s peresom, ki se v krožnem vrtenju vsakič znova znajde na istem mestu, se prelevi v fascinacijo z obliko planeta, na katerem se živa bitja – hočeš nočeš – slej ko prej znajdejo na istem mestu, na mestu svojega izhodišča – razmisleka o samem sebi in na točki, kjer se spočetje in smrt zlijeta. V pesmi Sever zapiše naslednjo misel: “… besedni / niz razlomim na poljubnem / mestu v upanju, da mi ne bo / treba spet enkrat pisati o / umiranju, se reševati v smrt / Pomisli, kamorkoli odideš / na okrogli Zemlji, vedno se / vrneš na svoje izhodišče, k / sebi, k premisleku o sebi in / svojih izhodiščih …” Žalostinke v pesniški zbirki Petra Semoliča ob vsakem branju postajajo polne upanja ob uzretju sveta kot fenomenološkega procesa, ki evolvira skozi navidezni kaos neizogibnega samoizničenja in nesmisla. Poleg raziskovanja mentalnega sveta in razmišljanja o svojih psihičnih mejah se pesnik nenehno zaveda, da je tudi njegovo telo minljivo, zavezano staranju in umiranju. Zbujanje sredi noči zaradi neznosnih bolečin, pri katerih noben analgetik ne pomaga, poraja domiselne halucinacije in vizije – v pesmi Bolečina npr. že v uvodu zapiše: “Sredi noči sedim v postelji / Bolečina plamti kot ogenj / in riše na stene reči / vsaj tako pomembne / za prihodnost poezije, kot so / kosti pod pariškimi temelji …” V fantazijah ugotavlja, da ni več sam in da se do zavesti vse bolj prebijajo otroški spomini (Zadnja fantazija), spomini na razpočeno srce (Stopnjevanje, Srčne zadeve) in nevrotično-psihotične zlome preživelih stoletij. V pesmi z naslovom Grimm, de Saussure in potem še Chomsky se na strukturalistično-postmodernističen način pozabava z razpadajočimi in na novo vzpostavljenimi sintagmami, kot je bilo značilno za dekonstruktivističen proces filozofov in umetnikov ob koncu prejšnjega stoletja: “Ali slišiš zvok lomljenja / Tako se prelamlja stoletje / Zobje, kako čudovit prikaz / sintagmatskega razmerja / Vrzel spodaj desno / odpira novo paradigmo / Ah, to kljuvanje / Ah, ta kri / Zelene ideje še dolgo ne bodo / besno zaspale / zato pa smo končali / z neskončno hojo navkreber / p / pf /f / Ali vidiš, kako plapolajo zastave / vihrajo prapori”. Težko bi v pesniški zbirki Žalostinke za okroglo Zemljo našli pesem, v kateri svojega odtisa ne pusti že v uvodu omenjena mačka. Skozi svojih devet življenj se nonšalantno sprehodi po devetih krogih pekla, ki “hoče neskončnost, ujeto v krožnici / ali v majhnem prostoru med ničlo in enko” (Učiteljca), ki s koraki riše po prostoru pomenljive vektorje in fraktale ter se zlekne v obliki Fibonaccijevega zaporedja (Neskončnosti). Tudi za Semoliča bi lahko rekli, da je utrjen in zverziran pesniški mačkon, ki kroži okrog eksistencialnih vprašanj kot mačka okrog vrele kaše, spretno žonglira z metaforami in metonimijami, se izogiba končnim ločilom in determinističnim zaključkom. Ko vleče vzporednice na različnih področjih umetnosti in filozofije, se podaja v neskončna brezna ekstaze, tesnobe in bolečine. V pesmi Rapsodija še zapiše: “Tesnoba vztraja, nespremenjena / kot gorsko jezero za čas človeškega / življenja, previs zastira sinjino …” Upamo, da se bomo bralci lahko kmalu spet podali za pesnikom po stopinjah jezer, previsov in globeli, ne da bi omahnili v lastno brezno ob-upa.

Un moment hors du temps, un retour à l'époque des Lumières, quand les imprimeurs neuchâtelois réimprimaient des livres prohibés, parfois obscènes, et les diffusaient dans toute l'Europe. Un récit historique aux accents romanesques, expliquant la naissance de la puissante Société typographique de Neuchâtel qui régira le monde souterrain de la librairie interlope pendant des années et dont la réputation procurera des contacts flatteurs tels que ceux de Mirabeau, Saussure, Louis Sébastien Mercier et d'autres. - Licencié ès lettres et docteur honoris causa de l'Université de Neuchâtel, Michel Schlup est l'ancien directeur de la Bibliothèque publique et universitaire de Neuchâtel, rédacteur de la Nouvelle Revue neuchâteloise et auteur d'études spécialisées dans l'histoire de l'édition, du livre et de la lecture. Il est notamment l'éditeur scientifique des cinq volumes des Biographies neuchâteloises (1996-2008) et de la série « Patrimoine de la Bibliothèque publique et universitaire de Neuchâtel ». Par ses travaux et des colloques, il a contribué, aux côtés de Robert Darnton et de Jacques Rychner, à faire connaître le fonds exceptionnel de la Société typographique de Neuchâtel.

Kjo është pjesa e dytë e diskutimit të librit "Kurs i gjuhësisë së përgjithshme" të Ferdinand de Saussure-it, me përkthyesin e librit, profesorin Rexhep Ismajlin.

Në librin tij “Kurs i gjuhësisë së përgjithshme”, të botuar në shqip në Prishtinë në vitin 1977 dhe të përkthyer nga Rexhep Ismajli, gjuhëtari Ferdinand de Saussure paraqet dhe shtjellon teorinë e tij për gjuhën që shkëputet nga gjuhësia tradicionale dhe propozon koncepte e metodë që hapi shteg të ri në studimet e gjuhës dhe mundësoi zhvillimin e gjuhësisë moderne. Teoria e tij për gjuhën përbën një zhvendosje paradigmatike dhe themeloi një lëvizje intelektuale që u quajt “strukturalizëm”, që pati ndikim rrënjësor jo vetëm në gjuhësi, por edhe në në teorinë e letërsisë, në filozofi, në studimet kulturore dhe në shkencat shoqërore. Për të biseduar rreth këtij libri na bashkohet përkthyesi i librit, profesori i gjuhësisë dhe anëtari i Akademisë së Shkencave dhe të Arteve të Kosovës, Rexhep Ismajli.

Sommes-nous contraints d'employer une langue « fasciste » qui soit soumise aux normes d'une société hétéronormée ? À l'aide de Saussure et de Barthes, nous allons approcher un texte méconnu de Marguerite Duras, Les Yeux bleus cheveux noirs, afin d'en saisir le langage neuf, inédit, in-ouï, un discours queer en profondeur. Pour ce faire, Marguerite Duras assimile la figure […]

Has the idea of the end of the world captured your imagination? Ted Toadvine's book The Memory of the World: Deep Time, Animality, and Eschatology contends that a preoccupation with the world's precarity relies on a flawed understanding of time that neglects the past and present with the goal of managing the future. Toadvine integrates insights from phenomenology, deconstruction, critical animal studies, and new materialism to argue for a new philosophy of time that takes seriously the entangled temporal events spanning cosmic, geological, evolutionary, and human durations. Here Toadvine is joined in conversation with David Morris and Benjamin Décarie-Daigneault.Ted Toadvine is Nancy Tuana Director of the Rock Ethics Institute and professor of philosophy at The Pennsylvania State University.David Morris is professor of philosophy at Concordia University in Montreal.Benjamin Décarie-Daigneault is a graduate student of philosophy at The Pennsylvania State University.REFERENCES:Maurice Merleau-Ponty (body of works including Phenomenology of Perception)Immanuel KantDipesh ChakrabartyMichel Serres / The IncandescentMartin HeideggerJacques DerridaJean-Luc NancyJerome MillerHenri BergsonEdmund HusserlJames PlayfairJames Hutton (Hutton's Unconformity)John Sallis / StoneAdam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser, and Evan Thompson / The Blind SpotJane BennettDonald S.

Ted Toadvine's concept of ‘biodiacritics' should lead to a reorientation of the ‘eschatological imagination,' producing effects in knowledge that are as insightful as they are impactful. This is a wonderful book that is a pleasure to think alongside.”—John Ó Maoilearca

 If you've taken Linguistics 101, you know what language is. It's a system for conveying meaning through speech. We build words out of sounds, and then complex ideas out of those words. Remarkably, the relationship between the sounds and the meanings they convey is purely arbitrary. Human language consists, in other words, of abstract symbols. Now, of course, there are also sign languages, but these operate in the same way, just in a different medium. This, anyway, is the view of language that has dominated and defined linguistics for many decades. But some think it gets some pretty fundamental things pretty wrong. Some think we need a new picture of language altogether.  My guest today is Dr. Neil Cohn. Neil is Associate Professor at the Tilburg Center for Cognition and Communication, in the Netherlands; he is also the director of the Visual Language Lab at Tilburg. For about two decades, Neil has been studying the rich properties of graphic systems—especially comics—and has built an argument that some constitute full-blown languages. His latest book, co-authored with, Joost Schilperoord, is titled A Multimodal Language Faculty. It challenges that longstanding, deeply held view of what language is. Instead, the book argues that the human language capacity combines three different modalities—the vocal modality (as in speech), the bodily modality (as in gesture), and the graphic modality (as in comics and other visual narratives). And each of these modalities is naturally able to support full-blown languages. Here, Neil and I talk about the basic assumptions of modern linguistics and where those assumptions come from. We discuss the idea that there are three expressive modalities that come naturally to humans, with each modality optimized for certain kinds of meaning. We talk about Neil's career, not only as an academic, but as an illustrator. We discuss cross-cultural differences and similarities in comics, and how comics have changed over the last century. And, finally, we consider how Neil's framework challenges current theorizing about the evolution of language. Along the way, Neil and I touch on sign languages and homesign systems, visual style vs visual language, Peircean semiotics, animal tracks, cave art, emoji, upfixes, sand drawing, Manga, the refrain "I can't draw," and the idea that the graphic modality is the only one that's truly unique to our species.  After this episode we'll be taking a bit of a summer break, but we'll be posting some old favorites to tide you over. Alright friends, hope you enjoy this one. On to my conversation with Neil Cohn.

Ferdinand de Saussure fue un influyente lingüista suizo conocido como el padre de la lingüística moderna. Su obra "Curso de lingüística general" sentó las bases del estructuralismo y distinguió entre lengua (sistema abstracto) y habla (uso individual del lenguaje).

Healing the Modern Soul is a series about how clinical psychology will haave to change and confront its past if it is to remain relevant in the future. Part 1    Part 2    Part 3     Part 4      Healing the Modern Soul Appendix    The Role of Psychotherapy as a Third Space and Meaning-Making System   Psychotherapy can be seen as a third space that exists outside of the dogmas of both science and religion, serving as a bridge between our medical and spiritual needs. In this space, therapists and clients engage in a process of meaning-making that allows the inner world and understanding of the self to better reflect the reality of the outer world.   This process of meaning-making occurs through both conscious thought, which is aware of time and language, and implicit memory, which is only aware of our somatic and deep emotional cues that can only partially be known by the conscious mind. In this way, psychotherapy itself can be considered a kind of simulacra, a symbol that does not point to an original source of meaning, but rather serves as a guide to help individuals navigate their own unique experiences and challenges.   #PsychotherapyFuture #MentalHealthRevolution #ThirdSpacePsychology #IntegrativePsychotherapy #ScienceAndSpirituality #MeaningMakingProcess #ImplicitMemoryHealing #ConsciousAndUnconscious #SelfDiscoveryJourney #PsychotherapyEvolution #HealingTrauma #HumanExperienceInsights #CompassionatePsychotherapy #HolisticMentalHealth #TransformativePsychology Suffering Without Screaming In the first part of this series, we explored the concept of the modern world as a simulacrum, a copy without an original, and how this phenomenon is related to the increasing emphasis on hyper-rationality and objectivity in our culture. We also discussed how the work of philosophers and psychologists, as observed by Friedrich Nietzsche, can reveal their own fears and insecurities through their insistence on perfect logic and objectivity. In the second part of the series we discussed the need for a coherent sense of self in new therapy models and a dialectical relationship between the self and the world. William Gibson,  Memory Palace When we were only several hundred-thousand years old, we built stone circles, water clocks. Later, someone forged an iron spring. Set clockwork running. Imagined grid-lines on a globe. Cathedrals are like machines to finding the soul; bells of clock towers stitch the sleeper's dreams together. You see; so we've always been on our way to this new place—that is no place, really—but it is real. It's our nature to represent: we're the animal that represents, the sole and only maker of maps. And if our weakness has been to confuse the bright and bloody colors of our calendars with the true weather of days, and the parchment's territory of our maps with the land spread out before us—never mind. We have always been on our way to this new place—that is no place, really—but it is real. The Simulacra Effect and the Disconnect from Felt Experience The simulacra effect, as described by Jean Baudrillard, is a result of our culture's increasing emphasis on hyper-rationality and objectivity. As we prioritize logical and rational thinking over subjective experiences and emotions, we create a world that feels hyper-real, yet simultaneously disconnected from our authentic selves. Nietzsche recognized this phenomenon in the work of philosophers and psychologists who claimed to have discovered objective truths through pure logic and reason. He argued that the more these thinkers insisted on their own rationality and objectivity, the more they revealed their own madness and disconnection from reality. In today's world, we find ourselves in a similar situation. On the surface, everything appears normal and rational, but there is an underlying sense of wrongness or disconnection that we struggle to articulate. This is because our culture has taught us to prioritize objective, rational thinking over our subjective, felt experiences. As individuals and as a society, we must reconnect with our felt experiences to recognize and address the insanity that surrounds us. This requires us to embrace our emotions, intuitions, and subjective perceptions, even when they seem to contradict the dominant narrative of rationality and objectivity. Psychotherapy, as a discipline, must play a crucial role in helping individuals engage with their felt experiences, even if it means navigating the complex and often paradoxical relationship between the rational and the subjective. By doing so, therapy can help individuals develop a more authentic sense of self and a deeper understanding of their place in the world. The Dangers of Denying the Self in Psychotherapy Models In the second part of this series, we explored how different models of psychotherapy reveal their own assumptions and biases about the nature of the self and the goals of therapy. By examining these models through the lens of Nietzsche's critique, we can identify potentially dangerous or dehumanizing approaches to treatment. One particularly concerning example is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a common approach to treating autism spectrum disorders. In the ABA model, the self is reduced to a collection of observable behaviors, with little or no consideration for the individual's inner world, emotions, or subjective experiences. This approach is deeply problematic, as it essentially denies the existence of a soul or psyche in individuals with autism or other neurodivergent conditions. By focusing solely on external behaviors and reinforcing "desirable" actions through rewards and punishments, ABA fails to recognize the inherent humanity and agency of the individuals it seeks to treat. In contrast, a truly effective and ethical model of psychotherapy must acknowledge and support the development of a coherent sense of self, while also recognizing the existence of other selves in the world. Therapy should be a dialectical process, helping individuals navigate the complex relationship between their inner world and the external reality they inhabit. This is particularly important for individuals who may not fit neatly into the objective, outcome-oriented modes of expression and socialization that dominate our culture. Rather than discounting or suppressing their unique perspectives and experiences, therapy should encourage and support the development of their authentic selves. The Case of the Autistic Child and Neuromodulation To illustrate the importance of a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy, let us consider the case of an autistic child who experiences sensory overwhelm and distress when exposed to cold temperatures. In a traditional ABA approach, the focus would be on modifying the child's behavior through rewards and punishments, with the goal of reducing the outward expression of distress. However, this approach fails to address the underlying neural and sensory processing issues that contribute to the child's experience of overwhelm. By contrast, a neuromodulation approach, such as that described in the case study involving QEEG brain mapping, seeks to identify and target the specific areas of neural dysfunction that are contributing to the child's distress. In this case, the QEEG brain map revealed a disconnect between the thalamus, which processes sensory information, and the long-term memory regions of the brain. By using neuromodulation techniques to bridge this gap and facilitate communication between these areas, the therapists were able to help the child process and integrate their sensory experiences more effectively, leading to a reduction in distress and an increased ability to tolerate cold temperatures. This case study highlights the importance of looking beyond surface-level behaviors and considering the complex interplay of neurological, sensory, and emotional factors that shape an individual's experience of the world. By addressing these underlying issues, rather than simply trying to suppress or modify outward expressions of distress, psychotherapy can help individuals to develop a greater sense of self-regulation, resilience, and overall well-being. The Role of Implicit Memory in Shaping Our Sense of Self To effectively address the complexities of the modern soul, psychotherapy must also grapple with the role of implicit memory in shaping our sense of self and our relationship to the world. Implicit memory, also known as the unconscious or subcortical brain processes, encompasses the vast array of experiences, emotions, and assumptions that operate beneath the level of conscious awareness. These implicit memories can have a profound impact on our behavior, relationships, and overall well-being, often in ways that we struggle to understand or articulate. They may manifest as trauma responses, maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior, or a pervasive sense of disconnection from ourselves and others. Effective psychotherapy must find ways to access and work with these implicit memories, helping individuals to process and integrate their experiences in a way that promotes healing and growth. Different Types of Memory and Therapeutic Approaches One key insight in understanding the role of implicit memory in psychotherapy is recognizing that there are different types of memory, each requiring distinct therapeutic approaches to effectively treat the associated trauma or dysfunction. Relational memory: This type of memory encompasses our assumptions about communication, identity, and how we want to be perceived by others. Individuals with attachment disorders or relational trauma may have impaired functional memory, leading to maladaptive patterns in their interactions with others. Therapies that focus on building secure attachments, such as emotionally focused therapy (EFT) or interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), can be particularly effective in addressing relational memory issues. Visual-spatial memory: This type of memory is associated with flashbacks and vivid re-experiencing of traumatic events. While relatively rare, visual-spatial memory trauma can be highly distressing and debilitating. Treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and prolonged exposure therapy (PE) have been shown to be effective in processing and integrating these traumatic memories. Kinesthetic memory: This type of memory is stored in the body and is related to how we budget energy and respond to stress. Somatic therapies, such as sensorimotor psychotherapy and somatic experiencing, can help individuals reconnect with their bodily sensations and develop greater self-regulation and resilience in the face of stress and trauma. Cognitive-emotional memory: This type of memory is associated with self-referential processes, such as problem-solving, obsessing, and rumination. Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches can be effective in addressing maladaptive thought patterns and promoting more flexible and adaptive ways of relating to one's internal experience. By understanding the different types of memory involved in trauma and psychological distress, therapists can develop more targeted and effective interventions that address the specific needs of each individual client. The Complexity of the Unconscious and the Limitations of Language While different psychotherapeutic approaches have their own conceptions of the unconscious, it is important to recognize that implicit memory cannot be perfectly mapped or described using language alone. The unconscious is a vast and complex realm that operates beneath the level of conscious awareness, and our attempts to understand and articulate its workings will always be limited by the constraints of language and cognition. In many ways, the relationship between the conscious mind and the unconscious can be likened to that between a democratic government and its constituents. Just as a democracy relies on elected representatives to make decisions on behalf of the larger population, our conscious mind relies on simplified models and representations of the unconscious to guide our thoughts and behaviors. Similarly, the unconscious can be compared to a graphics processing unit (GPU) in a computer, which is optimized for handling complex and repetitive tasks, such as rendering images or processing large datasets. In contrast, the conscious mind is more like a central processing unit (CPU), which is better suited for handling novel and sequential tasks that require flexibility and adaptability. While the CPU (conscious mind) may be the "decision-maker," it relies heavily on the GPU (unconscious) to provide the raw data and processing power needed to navigate the complexities of the world around us. Attempting to understand the unconscious solely through the lens of conscious, language-based reasoning would be like trying to understand the inner workings of a GPU using only the tools and concepts of CPU programming. The Influence of Silicon Valley and Corporate Interests on Mental Health This brings us to the problematic assumptions underlying certain models of psychotherapy, which are deeply embedded in the broader cultural and economic forces that shape our understanding of mental health and well-being. In particular, the influence of Silicon Valley and corporate interests on the field of psychology has led to a growing emphasis on treating individuals as programmable entities, much like computers or robots. This perspective is rooted in the belief that with enough data and processing power, human behavior can be predicted, controlled, and optimized. We see this belief reflected in the development of large language models (LLMs) and other AI technologies, which are often presented as capable of replicating or even surpassing human intelligence and creativity. However, this view fundamentally misunderstands the nature of human consciousness and agency, reducing the complexity of the human mind to a set of algorithms and data points. The notion that robots can be made into people through advances in AI and computing power is deeply misguided, as it fails to recognize the fundamental differences between human consciousness and machine learning. At the same time, the idea that people can be reduced to robots through behavioral conditioning and programming is equally dangerous, as it denies the inherent humanity and agency of individuals. These assumptions are not only flawed but also deeply dehumanizing, as they prioritize measurable outcomes and "optimal" functioning over the rich and complex inner lives of individuals. By treating people as objects to be fixed or optimized, rather than as meaning-making beings with unique subjective experiences, we risk perpetuating a culture of alienation, disconnection, and suffering. The Danger of Prioritizing Suffering Over Healing The case of the autistic child also raises important questions about the goals and priorities of psychotherapy in the modern world. In a culture that prioritizes hyper-rationality, objectivity, and measurable outcomes, there is a risk of reducing the complexity of human experience to a set of behaviors to be modified or eliminated. This approach can lead to a dangerous prioritization of suffering over healing, where the goal of therapy becomes to help individuals endure their distress without expressing it, rather than to address the underlying causes of their suffering and promote genuine growth and transformation. The idea that therapy should aim to help people "suffer without screaming" is a deeply troubling direction for the profession to take. It reflects a dehumanizing view of individuals as objects to be fixed or controlled, rather than as complex, meaning-making beings with inherent worth and dignity. Instead, psychotherapy should strive to create a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their experiences, to develop a greater understanding of themselves and their place in the world, and to cultivate the skills and resources needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience, authenticity, and grace. This requires a willingness to sit with the full spectrum of human experience, including the painful, messy, and often paradoxical aspects of the self and the world. It also requires a recognition of the inherent value and wisdom of each individual's unique perspective and life journey, and a commitment to honoring and supporting their growth and development in a way that is grounded in their own values, needs, and aspirations. Screaming without Suffering The simulacra effect, as described by Baudrillard and anticipated by Nietzsche, is a direct consequence of our culture's increasing emphasis on hyper-rationality, objectivity, and the denial of subjective experience. As psychotherapists and as a society, we must resist the temptation to reduce the complexity of the human mind to a set of behaviors or data points, and instead embrace the inherent messiness and uncertainty of the human condition. By reconnecting with our felt experiences, acknowledging the existence of the self and other selves in the world, and challenging the dominant paradigms of mental health treatment, we can begin to navigate the complexities of the modern soul and find a sense of authenticity and meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. This requires a willingness to engage with the paradoxes and contradictions that arise when we attempt to bridge the gap between the rational and the subjective, the individual and the collective, the inner world and the external reality. It is a difficult and ongoing process, but one that is essential if we are to create a more humane and fulfilling vision of mental health and well-being in the 21st century. As we have explored throughout this series, the role of psychotherapy in navigating the modern soul is both complex and essential. By embracing a holistic and integrative approach that recognizes the full complexity of the human experience, therapists can help individuals to develop a more authentic and meaningful sense of self, one that is grounded in their own unique values, experiences, and relationships. This process of self-discovery and healing is not always comfortable or easy, but it is necessary if we are to resist the dehumanizing forces of hyper-rationality, objectivity, and corporate interest that threaten to reduce the richness and diversity of human experience to a set of measurable outcomes and data points. Ultimately, the goal of psychotherapy in the modern world should be to help individuals to connect with their own inner wisdom and resilience, to find meaning and purpose in their lives, and to contribute to the creation of a more compassionate and authentic society. By working together to navigate the complexities of the modern soul, we can begin to heal the wounds of disconnection and alienation, and to create a world that truly honors the full spectrum of human experience. In the end, it is our capacity for love, empathy, and genuine human connection that will guide us through the challenges of the modern world. While pain and suffering may be inevitable, it is our ability to love and be loved that gives our lives meaning and purpose. As we strive to navigate the complexities of the modern soul, let us remember that we have the power to choose love over fear, connection over isolation, and authenticity over simulacra. For in doing so, we not only heal ourselves but also contribute to the healing of the world around us.  "Between stimulus and response there is a space.

Welcome to the ninth episode of A History of Literary Criticism. Today's episode concerns two sections from Augustine of Hippo's works On Christian Doctrine and The Trinity. I'll discuss a little of the author biography first, then the main part of the episode is divided into four parts: Augustine's theory of interpretation, the relationship between intention and language outlined in the texts, the importance of knowledge to Augustine's theorisations, and the role of communication. Then, to Abrams' triangle! And the implications of Augustine's work for Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of language. Next week's episode will be dedicated to Macrobius' Commentary on the Dream of Scipio.

Nouvelle diffusion: Les suppléments vitaminiques ne boostent pas le système immunitaire Est-ce que les compléments alimentaires vitaminés "boostent" vraiment le système immunitaire? Selon une étude suisse menée sur plus de 5000 participants (cohorte CoLaus|PsyCoLaus), la réponse serait non. Pendant trois ans, 2 groupes ont été observés: les consommateurs ou non de suppléments vitaminiques. Lʹétude a évalué leur statut sérologique pour quinze virus, six bactéries et un parasite. Résultats: il nʹy aurait aucune association entre lʹutilisation de compléments vitaminiques et une augmentation des marqueurs du statut immunitaire (anticorps) dans le sang. Vanessa Kraege, médecin associée au Service de médecine interne, vice-directrice médicale au Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV), et directrice de lʹétude, nous explique ces résultats au micro de Sarah Dirren. L'accès aux soins des personnes neuro-atypiques L'accès aux soins des personnes neurodivergentes, en particulier celles avec un trouble du spectre de l'autisme, pose des problèmes en raison de difficultés d'expression et d'interaction sociale. Cela a des conséquences graves sur leur santé. Il est crucial d'améliorer l'écoute des professionnels de santé et de promouvoir une approche inclusive pour résoudre cette inégalité.

In this archive episode from 2020, Carolina Allen and Shelli Spotts discuss the origin and roots of the gift economy, and the way maternal feminism rests on an alternative structure, a way of living that does not depend on getting ahead but the responsibility to lift everyone up.  "We are born into a gift economy, one that starts with our own mothers. It is a far more natural way of living that does not depend on the economy of exchange, but on trust and generosity." Genevieve Vaughn Genevieve Vaughan was born in Texas in 1939. She is an independent researcher. After finishing college in Pennsylvania in 1963 she married philosopher and semiotician Ferruccio Rossi-Landi and moved with him to Italy where they had three daughters. The couple participated in the beginnings of the Semiotics movement in Italy as well as in the Italian Left, where Genevieve got her political consciousness raised. After her divorce in 1978 Vaughan became a feminist, participating in the Italian and international feminist movements. She began to see the fact of women's free labor in the home as a gift economy, the unacknowledged free economy of women from which communication and community derive. Her two early essays ‘Communication and exchange' (Semiotica 1980) and ‘Saussure and Vigotsky via Marx'(1981) deal with language and economics, a theme introduced by her husband but which she elaborated in alternative directions, and which she has been working on throughout the rest of her life. In 1983, Vaughan returned to Texas where she started the Foundation for a Compassionate Society, a multicultural all-women activist foundation which initiated many innovative projects for social change based on the political use of ‘women's gifting values'. The Foundation closed its doors in 2005 after two final international conferences: A Radically Different Worldview is Possible: The Gift Economy Inside and Outside Patriarchal Capitalism, 2004 and Societies of Peace: the Second Congress of Matriarchal Studies (under the guidance of Heide Goettner Abendroth), 2005. Several other conferences have been held including one in Toronto in 2011 called A (M)otherworld is Possible in collaboration with Goettner-Abendroth and in conjunction with the Association for Research on Mothering.   Carolina is the founder and leader of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Carolina holds a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Utah with an emphasis in cultural religions and philosophy of science. Her inspirational and philosophical work has been presented at various international U.N. conferences. She is a native of Brazil, and a fluent trilingual. She and her husband Kawika are parents to 7 children. She is an avid soccer fan and had a brief career as a semi-professional player. ShelliRae Spotts is an essayist, advocacy writer, screenwriter, and sometime poet who teaches creative writing and composition at Brigham Young University. She is passionate about exploring the ways we use stories to build bridges within our communities and her essays delve into the connections we discover through languaging our lived experiences. Shelli has attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women as an advocacy writer for the last several years, and is dedicated to social justice and environmental causes. She was the co-director and writing mentor for "Words for Water: Dancing the Stories of our Home Waters," a collaborative writing/dance advocacy project focusing attention on the challenges facing our rural river watersheds.  She is the author of a forthcoming essay collection, "Radical Creativity: On a New Economy of Care." When she is not teaching, writing, or reading, Shelli loves to spend time with her husband and four adult children watching great movies, attending live theatre, or dragging everyone outside to “look at the sky.”

Alojz Ihan, Alenka Zupančič, Marina Dermastia in Tomaž Zwitter o dvomu in kritičnem razumu Zadnja tri leta so nam govorili, naj zaupamo v znanost in izsledke raziskav. Govorili so, naj zaupamo in verjamemo poznavalcem, strokovnjakom, znanstvenikom. Vendar; ali ni prav dvom bistvo znanosti? Ali ni kritični razum tisto, kar najbolj krasi inteligentnega človeka? Vprašanja, ki odpirajo širše dileme. Ali moramo zaupati v znanost? Ali lahko verjamemo znanstvenicam in znanstvenikom?

Ha insegnato anche Filosofia del linguaggio, Semiotica ed Etica della comunicazione presso le Università di Urbino, Montréal e della Calabria. I suoi studi sono dedicati alla filosofia del linguaggio e all'etica della comunicazione linguistica, in riferimento alle forme di vita e di convivenza della modernità post-fordista, anche in chiave di rivisitazione dell'eredità del materialismo storico e del pensiero di Karl Marx, mettendo in relazione questioni filosofiche e problemi socio-politici all'interno di un'ampia interpretazione del moderno, che vede sempre al centro la questione antropologica del linguaggio (attraverso Ferdinand de Saussure, Émile Benveniste, Ludwig Wittgenstein). È stato co-fondatore della rivista d'analisi politico-sociale “Metropoli”. Tra le sue pubblicazioni: Quando il verbo si fa carne. Linguaggio e natura umana (Torino 2003); Scienze sociali e “natura umana”. Facoltà di linguaggio, invariante biologico, rapporti di produzione (Catanzaro 2003); Motto di spirito e azione innovativa.

Il est membre du Laboratoire d'histoire des théories linguistiques (UMR 7597). Ses recherches portent sur l'histoire des idées linguistiques au XXe siècle. Il s'intéresse, en particulier, à l'histoire de la pensée saussurienne et à l'articulation entre linguistique et poétique. Spécialiste de Saussure, il est l'auteur de la première édition d'un corpus important de manuscrits du linguiste sur les anagrammes (Anagrammes homériques, 2013) et d'une monographie sur le sujet (Ferdinand de Saussure à la recherche des anagrammes, 2013).

Au siècle des Lumières, l'Europe est en pleine effervescence. Les savants de l'époque remettent au goût du jour l'histoire naturelle et l'intérêt pour la montagne va grandissant. Pour explorer les liens entre science et montagne, nous nous lançons sur les pas du Genevois Horace Bénédict de Saussure, l'un des savants les plus respectés d'Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Son parcours nous est conté par Stéphane Fischer, assistant-conservateur et responsable des collections au Musée d'histoire des sciences de Genève. Il est au micro de Noémie Guignard. Illustration: portrait de Horace Bénédict de Saussure par Jens Juel (1745 - 1802). Considéré comme l'un des fondateurs de l'alpinisme, il est également géologue et naturaliste. Parmi les expériences qu'il réalise, on peut noter la mesure du point d'ébullition de l'eau en altitude ou l'observation de la physique des montgolfières, qui viennent alors d'être mises au point.

Noam Chomsky is Professor of Linguistics Emeritus at MIT and Laureate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona. He not only counts as among the most influential linguists of all time, but he has played a major role in the development of twentieth and twenty-first century philosophy, cognitive science, and political theory. Noam and Robinson talk about some of the major topics in modern linguistics, ranging from generative and universal grammar to innateness hypotheses and the current limitations of large language models for studying human linguistic faculties. There are also philosophical dimensions to the conversation, as Noam touches on his time with Nelson Goodman, Hilary Putnam, and W. V. O. Quine, while other concerns—such as the indeterminacy of reference and the relationship between thought and language—recur throughout the discussion.    OUTLINE: 00:00 In This Episode… 00:27 Introduction 8:32 Noam's Entry into Linguistics  11:03 Ferdinand de Saussure and Twentieth Century Linguistics 23:04 The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis 26:00 Thoughts on Language and Behaviorism 35:24 Innateness Hypotheses in Linguistics 42:00 Innateness and Universal Grammar 46:02 Limitations of Large Language Models 48:42 Impossible Languages and What Linguists Study 1:00:10 Historical Shifts in Linguistics Robinson's Website: http://robinsonerhardt.com Robinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University.

“According to New Testament scholar Frank Stagg and classicist Evelyn Stagg,[1] the synoptic Gospels of the canonical New Testament contain a relatively high number of references to women. Evangelical Bible scholar Gilbert Bilezikian agrees, especially by comparison with literary works of the same epoch.[2]: p.82 Neither the Staggs nor Bilezikian find any recorded instance where Jesus disgraces, belittles, reproaches, or stereotypes a woman. These writers claim that examples of the manner of Jesus are instructive for inferring his attitudes toward women and show repeatedly how he liberated and affirmed women.[1] Starr writes that of all founders of religions and religious sects, Jesus stands alone as the one who did not discriminate in some way against women. By word or deed, he never encouraged the disparagement of a woman.[3] Based on the account of Jesus' interaction with a Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7:24-30 and Matthew 15:21-28, Karen King concludes that "an unnamed Gentile woman taught Jesus that the ministry of God is not limited to particular groups and persons, but belongs to all who have faith."[4] “In psychoanalytic theory, the Jocasta complex is the incestuous sexual desire of a mother towards her son.[1] Raymond de Saussure introduced the term in 1920 by way of analogy to its logical converse in psychoanalysis, the Oedipus complex, and it may be used to cover different degrees of attachment,[2] including domineering but asexual mother loves – something perhaps particularly prevalent with an absent father. The Jocasta complex is named for Jocasta, a Greek queen who unwittingly married her son, Oedipus. The Jocasta complex is similar to the Oedipus complex, in which a child has sexual desire toward their parent(s). The term is a bit of an extrapolation since in the original story Oedipus and Jocasta were unaware that they were mother and son when they married. The usage in modern contexts involves a son with full knowledge of who his mother is. Theodor Reik saw the "Jocasta mother", with an unfulfilled adult relationship of her own and an over-concern for her child instead, as a prime source of neurosis.[3] George Devereux went further, arguing that the child's Oedipal complex was itself triggered by a pre-existing parental complex (Jocasta/Laius).[4] Eric Berne also explored the other (parental) side of the Oedipus complex, pointing to related family dramas such as "mother sleeping with daughter's boyfriend ... when the mother has no son to play Jocasta with".[5] With her feminist articulation of the Jocasta Complex[6] and Laius complex[7] Bracha L. Ettinger criticizes the classical psychoanalytic perception of Jocasta, of the maternal, the feminine, and the Oedipal/castration model in relation to the mother-child links. Atossa, in the Greek tragedy The Persians, has been seen as struggling in her dreams with a Jocasta complex.[8] Some American folk tales, like Jocasta, often feature figures expressing a maternal desire for their sons.[9]” According to The Bible, Jesus' cousin John was beheaded to death and put in prison, Herod committed incestuous marriage with his brother's wife, Herod was seduced by a striptease by Herodias' daughter, and Herod wanted infant Jesus to be a fatality via infanticide. That's Biblical organized crime. Judas was a rat and snitch according to organized crime figures. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Maurizio Bettini"Festival del Classico"Circolo dei Lettori, Torinohttps://festivaldelclassico.it/https://circololettori.it/Domenica 4 Dicembre, ore 15:00"I mercanti dell'età dell'oro"Labor improbus e commercio mutocon Maurizio Bettini // filologo classicoSembrerebbe che l'età dell'oro non abbia conosciuto il commercio, è infatti solo dopo che Iuppiter introdusse il labor improbus – con le artes necessarie a sopperire ai bisogni degli uomini, come racconta Virgilio – che è comparso nel panorama del lavoro umano. In realtà, nell'età dell'oro ce n'era una forma alquanto peculiare, in cui il lavoro del mercante era ridotto all'essenziale: il commercio muto.Maurizio Bettini"Roma, città della parola"Einaudi EditoreIhttps://www.einaudi.it/l ruolo dell'oralità all'interno della società romana. Il nuovo libro dell'importante antropologo del mondo classico.«Tirando le orecchie a qualcuno si può dunque rammentargli di comportarsi da filosofo, ovvero, forse ancora piú saggiamente, di godersi la vita: come nel caso della Morte che viene a "tirarci le orecchie" dicendo "vivete, sto per arrivare!". Toccare le orecchie, tirarle, costituiva insomma la traduzione gestuale dell'admonere, del "far ricordare". Di questo gesto rammemorativo possediamo anche rappresentazioni visive, come il grazioso cammeo che reca incisi un orecchio e una mano che con due dita ne stringe il lobo: la scritta che accompagna l'immagine recita in greco mnemóneue, "ricordati"».Secondo Plinio il Vecchio, se la vitalitas dell'uomo risiede nelle ginocchia, la memoria risiede «nell'orecchio». Relegare questa affermazione nello sgabuzzino delle curiosità sarebbe un errore. «La memoria dell'orecchio» infatti ha l'immediato potere di svelarci uno dei fattori determinanti nella formazione della cultura romana, la parola parlata. I Romani cioè, e molte altre testimonianze ce lo confermano, sono ancora consapevoli del fatto che i costumi, le norme, i rituali, il ricordo del passato si tramandano (e si ricostruiscono) per via aurale. Come recita un proverbio ghanese «le cose antiche stanno nell'orecchio». A Roma non solo la produzione letteraria, ma anche il diritto, la pratica dello ius, viveva di «parola parlata», tanto che ai caratteri dell'alfabeto essa oppose spesso un'abile resistenza. E che dire del destino, concepito non come una «porzione» di vita (móira), alla maniera dei Greci, ma come una «parola», fatum, pronunziata dall'una o l'altra divinità? Perfino la norma indiscutibile e suprema che regolava il giusto e l'ingiusto, il lecito e l'illecito, ossia il fas, traeva origine da questa sfera: fas est, celebre e solenne locuzione romana, altro non significava se non «è parola che», proprio come molti secoli dopo si dirà «sta scritto che». Anche a Roma, però, la parola è soprattutto un evento sonoro. Come rivela la meravigliosa tessitura di «armonie foniche» che avvolgeva gli enunciati della produzione poetica, religiosa e giuridica di Roma arcaica: «armonie foniche», cosí le definí il grande Ferdinand de Saussure, che fu tra i primi ad appassionarsene.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Today we're joined by returning champion Will to discuss the links between the work of Theodor Adorno and Fred Moten on questions of value theory, negative dialectics, and domination. In particular, we're going to be focusing on the violent domination at the heart of the commodity, a violence exemplified in confronting and re-historicizing Marx's notion of the commodity that speaks—a commodity which in the introductory essay to his book In the Break, Moten explores through the enslaved person. Moten not only draws upon a negative dialectic of value and non-value but also from Saussure, Glissant, Hartman, Douglass, and Derrida to conceptualize a commodity which not only speaks, but one which screams—rupturing the erasure of its inherent dignity and value in everyday exchange, and allowing both suffering and resistance to appear in its sonic performance. Support the podcast:Acid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comPreorder 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-philosophers-tarot/36283483/item/52275949/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwz96WBhC8ARIsAATR250MN8KEXNTh5DTZGpms3y6aXqQEBMthr2awTrG_UzKJz8X416ebFnEaAs-xEALw_wcB#edition=64288388Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comDestratified (Matt's Blog): https://destratified.com/​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/Support the show

Is translation really just a problem of finding the right words in one language to fit the words in another language? Or, is there much more than meets the ear? Lisa Foran, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin (Ireland), discusses the ways in which translation can be problematic as well as constructive, not just with the aim of communicating, but also with the aim of improving how we live our lives. She delves into the deeper, ethical significances of what means to find yourself unable to translate something or even someone into familiar terms.Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeHermeneutics in Real LifeGeoffrey Moore, author of The Infinite Staircase     Links Related to this Episode:Lisa Foran (UCD)Twitter (@LisaForan10)Emmanuel Levinas (SEP)Jacques Derrida (SEP)Barbara Cassin (Wikipedia)Alasdair MacIntyre (Wikipedia)Ferdinand de Saussure (langue et parole/language as structure and speech)Emily Apter (NYU)Structuralism (Wikipedia)Post-structuralism (Wikipedia)The Myth of Self-Sufficiency (Philosophy2u)Future-tensed and Present-tensed Languages, (The Conversation)Music: Earth and the Moon, by KetsaLogo Art: Angela Silva, Dattura Studios

Ferdinand de Saussure likened language to a collective treasure that every member of the linguistic community can draw from without its stores diminishing. This idea is quite heartening – almost magical – but it's also ruthlessly oppressive. What do you want first: the good news or the bad news?

What is Structuralism? In this episode, we are going to break down the Structuralist theory pioneered by Claude Lévi Strauss and explored by the likes of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan and Jean Piaget. We will be looking at the meaning of Structuralism and what the main criticisms of it were from Jean Piaget and from the Poststructuralism angle of Jacques Derrida. The simple answer to what is Structuralism would look at the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure. His work especially the idea of langue and parole as we explore in this video was a pivotal inspiration for the structural anthropology of Claude Levi Strauss and for structural sociology as seen in the work of Barthes and Foucault and in structuralism psychology as seen in the works of Jacques Lacan. There are influential ways of looking at structuralism in literature as we shall see with the works of Joseph Campbell who while not a structuralist was influenced by Claude Lévi Strauss and whose work is the epitome of Structuralism.____________________⭐ Support the channel (thank you!) ▶ Patreon: https://patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy ▶ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy_________________⌛ Timestamps:0:00 Intro: What is Structuralism 0:34 Ferdinand de Saussure and Structural Linguistics2:08 The Structuralists4:34 Piaget and the Failures of Structuralism as Science7:22 The Poststructuralism Critique by Derrida9:06 Summary and Conclusion

He grew up in Bayonne, France, attended secondary school in Paris, and received degrees in classical letters and grammar and philosophy from the University of Paris. As the leading structuralist thinker, Barthes was highly influenced by Ferdinand de Saussure's semiology — the formal study of signs and signification. He was a prolific interpreter, disseminator, and reviser of most of the complex theoretical concepts that circulated within France's centres of learning from the 1950s on.From 1952 to 1959, Barthes worked at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique. He was elected chair of literary semiology at the College de France in 1976 and was acknowledged as the leading critic of his generation in 1978. He was a dominant theoretical voice of the 1970s across Europe and America, making his influence felt in popular culture as well. Barthes died at the age of sixty-four after injuries sustained in a car accident. His works include Writing Degree Zero (1953), Mythologies (1957), Criticism and Truth (1966), S/Z (1972), The Pleasure of the Text (1973), and Image Music Text (1978).From: http://www.arts.uwaterloo.ca/~raha/700_701_web/BarthesLO/biography.htmlFor more information about Roland Barthes:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Natalie Diaz about Barthes, at 09:30: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-061-natalie-diaz“How Roland Barthes Gave Us the TV Recap”: ​​https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/27/magazine/how-roland-barthes-gave-us-the-tv-recap.html“Where to start reading Roland Barthes”: https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2020/mar/where-to-start-reading-roland-barthes-.html

In his masterpiece Sex Ecology and Spirituality, Ken Wilber applies the work of Ferdinand de Saussure in Semiotics to the question of spiritual experiences' validity. By looking at the Signifier and Signified of Saussure's linguistic Sign as well as the referent in the context of spiritual experience Integral philosopher Ken Wilber arrives at an interesting hypothesis in Sex Ecology and Spirituality: that spiritual experiences are at a higher level of development than the general public; the difficulties in studying spiritual experience are comparable to the difficulties of a blind community studying colour. This brings in Wilber's pre/trans fallacy — the distinction between prerational development and postrational development. _________________ ⭐ Support the channel (thank you!) ▶ Patreon: https://patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy ▶ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy________________

Semiotics came into being with the publishing of Ferdinand de Saussure's Course on General Linguistics in 1916. It contained distinctions such as langue vs parole as well as the signifier and signified that make up the Sign — Saussure's fundamental unit of language. The Semiotics school of thought would go on to be a major influence on the Existentialists such as Sartre, the Structuralists such as Jacques Lacan, Levi-Strauss and Roland Barthes and the Poststructuralists Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. In this episode we examine what the Semiotics theory is through Ferdinand de Saussure's distinction between synchronic and diachronic linguistics, his distinction between langue and parole. With this foundation in place we will explore his contributions to this new science of language and what these explained — his definition of a Sign as being a signifier and a signified, the arbitrary nature of these and also the fact that language is a matter of difference and relations between signs in the system rather than naming. All of this will serve to have the basics of Semiotics explained. _________________ ⭐ Support the channel (thank you!) ▶ Patreon: https://patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy ▶ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy_________________⌛ Timestamps:0:00 Introduction1:45 Diachronic vs Synchronic3:01 Langue vs Parole6:06 Sign: Signifiers and Signifieds8:40 Arbitrary Language12:04 Language: Differences & Relations13:37 Summary

®Albrecht von Haller, Bénédict de Saussure, Alessandro Volta, Friedrich Schiller, Wolfgang Goethe; sono solo alcuni dei grandi nomi del mondo letterario e scientifico che hanno fornito importanti descrizioni del passo del San Gottardo. Raccontato nel Medioevo come “locus horribilis”, in cui vivono i mostri, si trasforma in “locus amoenus” nel ‘700, il secolo dei viaggiatori, nel corso del quale la montagna diventa un luogo d'interesse anche per gli europei. Il San Gottardo attira l'attenzione non solo di letterati, ma anche di molti uomini di scienza, appassionati di mineralogia, di misurazioni barometriche, di botanica. In questa puntata di Laser ospiteremo il prof. Renato Martinoni, autore del volume “Viaggiatori del settecento nella Svizzera italiana” (Ed. Dadò) da cui prenderemo spunto per ripercorrere alcuni celebri viaggi attraverso il passo e per ricordare la nascita del mito della nazione e della patria di cui il San Gottardo è simbolo.Prima emissione 25 maggio 2016Libri presenti nel catalogo del Sistema bibliotecario ticinese (Sbt) Viaggiatori del Settecento nella Svizzera italiana / a cura di Renato Martinoni.

Continuando a explorar as várias faces da Antropologia, este episódio mergulha em mais um de seus fascinantes subcampos: a Antropologia Linguística. Sua criação, vinculada à tradição da disciplina nos Estados Unidos no final do século XIX, está inserida na perspectiva de amplo extermínio das populações indígenas naquele país. Os antropólogos vinculados à tradição culturaliste de Franz Boas defendiam o amplo estudo científico das línguas indígenas antes de seu completo desaparecimento. Passando por alguns pressupostos básicos da ciência Linguística (cujo pai fundador, o suíço Ferdinand de Saussure é o primeiro autor a formular uma diferença substantiva entre Língua e Linguagem), o episódio percorre, de maneira introdutória, seus conceitos e as ideias básicas que consolidaram esta que é hoje uma área bastante importante da nossa disciplina, inclusive aqui no Brasil.

Roberto López y Manuel Azuaga charlan con el escritor Hugo Roca Joglar, Premio Nacional de Periodismo de México, a cuenta de su extraordinaria novela 'Tardes quietas de jazz y madera' (Ed. Tandaia, 2019). No se pierdan esta conversación sobre ajedrez, literatura, música y violencia de género. Aquí pueden leer un breve extracto de 'Tardes quietas de jazz y madera': “El movimiento de mis piezas ya nacía de la danza. De manera frenética. De instintiva danza. De danza espontánea. Y las mismas cosas ya no fueron las mismas cosas. Cada movimiento que solía ser automático de pronto se vio sometido a escrutinio salvaje. Se derrumbaron los planes preconcebidos. Se derrumbaron las estrategias de largo aliento. Todo el ajedrez se hizo trompeta.” El programa sorteará un ejemplar de la novela entre quienes nos escriban en Ivoox, en redes sociales (Twitter y Facebook) o al correo habitual del programa (ajedrezsocialandalucia@gmail.com) y nos digan: 1. Su disco de jazz favorito + el nombre de su jugadora de ajedrez preferida. 2. Los motivos por los que quiere participar. El próximo 1 de julio procederemos al sorteo entre las respuestas recibidas. Tras la charla con Hugo Roca, el maestro Azuaga nos contará alguna curiosidad sobre dos célebres personajes del juego, pero no adelantamos sus nombres para que puedan jugar a adivinarlos. También podrán oír la cápsula filosófica de 'Escaque 65', por Nicola Lococo. Hoy nos habla de Saussure y el lenguaje ajedrecístico, no se la pierdan.

In this episode, I discuss the relationship between Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics, from which we get the terms sign, signifier, and signified, and later iterations of structuralism, such as Roland Barthes' "The World of Wrestling" (from Mythologies, and available on Blackboard).
