Semiotics of Friendship
Author: Claus Emmeche
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111423786
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
A friend should be able to be an attentive listener, which made semiotician Roland Barthes wonder in his intriguing dictionary of love, "cannot friendship be defined as a space with total sonority?". This volume takes on the encyclopedic task - in the sense of Umberto Eco, where an encyclopedia is a very complex sign - to explore friendship in detail, not only as a form of love but in all its complexity as a bond that connects people and forms communities. Semiotics, the study of signs and meaning-making, is used alongside insights from a wide range of friendship studies to create a far-reaching intellectual resonance, or sonority, around friendship as a central human experience. As a study of the significance of friendship, it presents findings from friendship research across the globe, enabling new ways of thinking about friends. It includes: key concepts from semiotics, sociology, anthropology, and other fields, briefly explained major models of friendship from antiquity to contemporary societies proverbs and sayings about friendship from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe stories about famous or forgotten friends from mythology, fiction, and real history summaries of research on friendship from selected academic disciplines bibliographical references for further studies

Literatures of Urban Possibility
Author: Markku Salmela
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030709094
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book demonstrates how city literature addresses questions of possibility. In city literature, ideas of possibility emerge primarily through two perspectives: texts may focus on what is possible for cities, and they may present the urban environment as a site of possibility for individuals or communities. The volume combines reflections on urban possibility from a range of geographical and cultural contexts—in addition to the English-speaking world, individual chapters analyse possible cities and possible urban lives in Turkey, Israel, Finland, Germany, Russia and Sweden. Moreover, by engaging with issues such as city planning, mass housing, gentrification, informal settlements and translocal identities, the book shows imaginative literature at work outlining what possibility means in cities.
