Schools and circles have been a major force in twentieth-century
intellectual movements. They fostered circulation of ideas within
and between disciplines, thus altering the shape of intellectual
inquiry. This volume offers a new perspective on theoretical
schools in the humanities, both as generators of conceptual
knowledge and as cultural phenomena. The structuralist, semiotic,
phenomenological, and hermeneutical schools and circles have had a
deep impact on various disciplines ranging from literary studies to
philosophy, historiography, and sociology. The volume focuses on a
set of loosely interrelated groups, with a strong literary,
linguistic, and semiotic component, but extends to the fields of
philosophy and history-the interdisciplinary conjunctions arising
from a sense of conceptual kinship. It includes chapters on
unstudied or less studied groups, such as Tel Aviv School of
poetics and semiotics or the research group Poetics and
Hermeneutics. The volume presents a significant supplement to the
standard historical accounts of literary, critical, and related
theory in the twentieth century. It enhances and complicates our
understanding of the twentieth-century intellectual and academic
history by showing schools and circles in the state of germination,
dialogue, controversy, or decline, in their respective historical
and institutional settings, while reaching simultaneously beyond
those dense settings to the new cultural and ideological situations
of the twenty-first century.
