Pragmatism and the Forms of Sense: Language, Perception, Technics
Pragmatism and the Forms of Sense: Language, Perception, Technics
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press | pages: 288 | 2002 | ISBN: 027102223X | PDF | 10,8 mb
Making sense of the world around us is a process involving both semiotic and material mediation - the use of signs and sign systems (preeminently language) and various kinds of tools (technics). As we use them, we experience them subjectively as extensions of our bodily selves and objectively as instruments for accessing the world with which we interact. Emphasizing this bipolar nature of language and technics, understood as intertwined "forms of sense," Robert Innis studies the multiple ways in which they are rooted in and transform human perceptual structures in both their individual and social dimensions. The book foregrounds and is organized around the notion of "semiotic embodiment."
