Ferdinand de Saussure

Ferdinand de Saussure

Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) is widely recognized as the founder of twentieth-century language science. In his lifetime he published an important work on Indo-European philology but it was his Course in General Linguistics published posthumously in 1916 that paved the way for a genuinely scientific theory of language based on a system of mutually defining entities. In addition to laying the foundations for many of the significant developments in modern linguistics the implications of Saussure’s work have been far reaching across a broad range of disciplines beyond language studies; indeed his projected science of signs effected a fundamental reconceptualization of our knowledge about all socially organized meaning systems and it has had a profound impact on for example the evolution of modern sociology anthropology film studies and literary theory. As serious work on Saussure’s thinking and influence continues to flourish this long-awaited new title in Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Leading Linguists series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a vast scholarly literature. Edited by John E. Joseph author of the first full-length and comprehensive biography of Saussure this four-volume Major Work brings together the best and most influential English-language Saussurean secondary literature. (It also makes available in translation several key pieces originally published in languages other than English.) The collection includes: work on Saussure’s precursors; comprehensive coverage of his linguistic theory his key concepts and their critical reception especially in Europe and the USA; critiques of Saussure (including reassessments and refinements prompted by the unearthing in 1996 of a manuscript published as his Writings in General Linguistics); full coverage of Saussure’s ‘rediscovery’ in the 1960s and his significance in the rise of structuralism as well as his influence on the broader poststructuralist approaches to inquiry in the human sciences that followed. Ferdinand de Saussure is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.

Ars novaFrench and Italian Music in the Fourteenth Century

Ars novaFrench and Italian Music in the Fourteenth Century

In the early fourteenth century musicians in France and later Italy established new traditions of secular and sacred polyphony. This ars nova or "new art " popularized by theorists such as Philippe de Vitry and Johannes de Muris was the among the first of many later movements to establish the music of the present as a clean break from the past. The rich music of this period by composers such as Guillaume de Machaut and Francesco Landini is not only beautiful but also rewards deep study and analysis. Yet contradictions and gaps abound in the ars nova of the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries-how do we read this music? how do we perform this music? what was the cultural context of these performances? These problems are well met by the ingenuity of approaches and solutions found by scholars in this volume. The twenty-seven articles brought together reflect the broad methodological and chronological range of scholarly inquiry on the ars nova.

Grotius and Law

Grotius and Law

The essays collected for this volume represent the best scholarly literature on Hugo Grotius available in the English language. In the English speaking world Grotius is not as well known as his fellow 17th century political philosophers Thomas Hobbes or John Locke but in legal theory Grotius is at least as important. Even on central political concepts such as liberty and property Grotius has important views that should be explored by anyone working in legal and political philosophy. And Grotius’s work especially De Jure Belli ac Pacis is much more important in international law and the laws of war than anyone else’s work in the 17th or 18th centuries. This volume is therefore useful not only to Grotius scholars but also to anyone interested in historical and modern debates on key issues in political and legal philosophy more broadly and international law in particular.

Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English LexicographersVolume 2: Middle English

Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English LexicographersVolume 2: Middle English

The teaching of Latin remained important after the Conquest but Anglo-Norman now became a language of instruction and from the thirteenth century onwards a language to be learned. During this period English lexicographers were more numerous more identifiable and their works more varied for example: the tremulous hand of Worcester created an Old English-Latin glossary and Walter de Bibbesworth wrote a popular contextualized verse vocabulary of Anglo-Norman country life and activities. The works and techniques of Latin scholars such as Adam of Petit Point Alexander Nequam and John of Garland were influential throughout the period. In addition grammarians' and schoolmasters' books preserve material which in some cases seems to have been written by them. The material discussed ranges from a twelfth-century glossary written at a minor monastic house to four large alphabetical fifteenth-century dictionaries some of which were widely available. Some material seems to connect with the much earlier Old English glossaries in ways not yet fully understood.

The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction

Novelists have long been attracted to theatre. Some have pursued success on the stage but many have sought to combine these worlds entering theatre through their fiction setting stages on their novels’ pages and casting actors directors and playwrights as their protagonists. The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction has convened an international community of scholars to explore the remarkable array of novelists from many eras and parts of the world who have created fiction from the stuff of theatre asking what happens to theatre on the pages of novels and what happens to novels when they collaborate with theatre. From J. W. Goethe to Louisa May Alcott Mikhail Bulgakov Virginia Woolf and Margaret Atwood some of history’s most influential novelists have written theatre-fiction and this Companion discusses many of these figures from new angles. But it also spotlights writers who have received less critical attention such as Dorothy Leighton Agustín de Rojas Villandrando Ronald Firbank Syed Mustafa Siraj Li Yu and Vicente Blasco Ibañez bringing their work into conversation with a vital field. A valuable resource for students scholars and admirers of both theatre and novels The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction offers a wealth of new perspectives on topics of increasing critical concern including intermediality theatricality antitheatricality mimesis diegesis and performativity.

The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South

Responding to mounting calls to decenter and decolonize journalism The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South examines not only the deep-seated challenges associated with the historical imposition of Western journalism standards on constituencies of the Global South but also the opportunities presented to journalists and journalism educators if they choose to partake in international collaboration and education.

These questions include: What really is journalism? Who gets to and who is qualified to define it? What role do ethics play? What are the current trends challenges and opportunities for journalism in the Global South? How is news covered reported written and edited in non-Western settings? What can journalism players living and working in industrialized markets learn from their non-Western colleagues and counterparts and vice versa? Contributors challenge accepted universal ethical standards while showing the relevance of customs traditions and cultures in defining and shaping local and regional journalism. Showcasing some of the most important research on journalism in the Global South and by journalists based in the Global South this companion is key reading for anyone researching the principles and practices of journalism from a de-essentialized perspective.

Fanaticism and the History of Philosophy

Voltaire called fanaticism the monster that pretends to be the child of religion. Philosophers politicians and cultural critics have decried fanaticism and attempted to define the distinctive qualities of the fanatic whom Winston Churchill described as someone who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. Yet despite fanaticism’s role in the long history of social discord human conflict and political violence it remains a relatively neglected topic in the history of philosophy. In this outstanding inquiry into the philosophical history of fanaticism a team of international contributors examine the topic from antiquity to the present day. Organized into four sections topics covered include: Fanaticism in ancient Greek Indian and Chinese philosophy; Fanaticism and superstition from Hobbes to Hume including chapters on Locke and Montesquieu Shaftesbury and Hutcheson; Kant Germaine de Stael Hegel Nietzsche William James and Jorge Portilla on fanaticism; Fanaticism and terrorism; and extremism and gender including the philosophy and morality of the manosphere; Closed-mindedness and political and epistemological fanaticism. Spanning themes from superstition enthusiasm and misanthropy to the emotions purity and the need for certainty Fanaticism and the History of Philosophy is a landmark volume for anyone researching and teaching the history of philosophy particularly ethics and moral philosophy. It is also a valuable resource for those studying fanaticism in related fields such as religion the history of political thought sociology and the history of ideas.
