Interpretive Sociology and the Semiotic Imagination: J.I. Bakker, Wayne Brekhus, Todd Madigan, Paul McLean, Rein Raud, Eunkyung... Interpretive Sociology and the Semiotic Imagination

Semiotics provides key analytical tools to understand the creation and reproduction of meaning in social life. Although some fields have productively incorporated semiotic models, sociology still needs to engage with semiotic mediation. Written by a diverse group of authors in interpretive sociology, this ambitious volume asks what the relationship between meaning systems and action is, how we can describe culture and which roles we assign to language, social processes and cognition in a sociological context. Contributors offer empirical research that not only outlines the conceptual issues at stake, but also demonstrates ‘how to do things’ with semiotics through case studies. Synthesizing a diverse and fragmented landscape, this is a key reference work for scholars interested in the connection between semiotics and sociology.

The Death of the Perfect Sentence (Paperback): Rein Raud The Death of the Perfect Sentence (Paperback)

R367 Discovery Miles 3 670 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

A political thriller set mainly in Estonia during the dying days of the Soviet Union, but also in Russia, Finland and Sweden. It follows a group of young pro-independence dissidents who have an elaborate scheme for smuggling copies of KGB files out of the country, and whose fates are entangled, through family and romantic ties, with the security services who are tracking them. It describes the curious minutiae of everyday life, offers wry observations on the period through personal experience, and asks universal questions about how interpersonal relationships are affected when caught up in momentous historical changes. This sometimes wistful examination of how the Estonian Republic was reborn after a long hiatus speaks also of the courage and complex chemistry of those who pushed against a regime whose then weakness could not have been known to them.

For five years, Enn Padrik has postponed the investigation into the apparently religiously inspired suicides of his daughter and her friends at a commune near Viljandi, but now he can postpone it no longer. He must travel all over Estonia and even as far as France interviewing anyone who might remember anything relevant. Some of these people seem to have been waiting for him, others refuse to talk. And little by little, a bigger and quite unexpected picture starts to emerge. From the late 1970s through 2011, The Reconstruction spans the lives of two generations, going from the late 1970s through 2011, narrating the changes in the wider world and Estonian society in particular, the transition from a world of right and wrong to a world where most things are neither, but the yearning for absolute truths still won't go away.
