Abstract

What is a thing? What is an object? Tristan Garcia decisively overturns 100 years of Heideggerian orthodoxy about the supposedly derivative nature of objects to put forward a new theory of ontology that gives us deep insights into the world and our place in it.

Abstract

Ce Traité ne propose ni une phénoménologie des objets ni une analyse du concept de " chose ", ni une pensée critique de la chosification ni une épistémologie du " découpage " de notre environnement par notre cognition. Ce Traité invite à prendre le large pour une tout autre aventure. Il suggère d'explorer d'abord notre monde comme s'il était vraiment plat, en lui ôtant toute intensité, toute valeur. Dans un second temps seulement, avec en poche la boussole de cette solitude ontologique radicale, cet ouvrage invite à retrouver la possibilité d'un univers, c'est-à-dire d'un ensemble de choses non plus seules, mais les unes dans les autres. Le désert théorique se transformera alors en encyclopédie luxuriante de nos objets contemporains, traversés d'ordres et de valeurs cosmologiques, biologiques, anthropologiques, artistiques, économiques ou sexuels.

Abstract

"A fascinating investigation that explains semiotics, the science of signs, and shows how it can help us understand the way marketing and advertising shape our behavior as consumers and the way we use brands to help create our public identities. Semiotics deals with the messages we are always sending about ourselves by the clothes we wear, our facial expressions, our body language, and the objects we purchase. It also helps us learn how to interpret the messages that others are always sending to us. The book also analyzes a number of the "objects of our affection" such as toasters, teddy bears, hamburgers and computers. In the appendix, there are a number of learning games and activities that involve using semiotics to better understand consumer culture"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, explain, remark on, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would, in short, stop speaking ; we would become as mute as objects are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without losing their gritty materiality. Things That Talk aims to escape the opposition between positivist facts and cultural readings that bifurcates the current historiography of both art and science. Confronting this impasse from an interdisciplinary perspective, each author singles out one object for close attention : a Bosch drawing, the freestanding column, a Prussian island, soap bubbles, early photographs, glass flowers, Rorschach blots, newspaper clippings, paintings by Jackson Pollock. Each object is revealed to be a node around which meanings accrete thickly. But not just any meanings: what these things are made of and how they are made shape what they can mean. Neither the pure texts of semiotics nor the brute objects of positivism, these things are saturated with cultural significance. Things become talkative when they fuse matter and meaning; they lapse into speechlessness when their matter and meanings no longer mesh.
