Sommario/riassunto

Partant de notre saisie des langues et de la façon dont nous les faisons signifier, cet ouvrage propose une approche réflexive et transversale en marge des champs disciplinaires constitutifs des sciences humaines et de la société. Il concerne les linguistes, épistémologues, théoriciens ou historiens des langues mais aussi tous les lecteurs intéressés par la façon dont nous élaborons du sens dans et par le langage.  S’appuyant sur l’imaginaire de la filiation généalogique des langues développé au XIXe siècle pour aboutir aux métaphores de la biologie, des systèmes complexes ou de l’écologie qui les remplacent aujourd’hui, l’auteur montre la permanence et les limitations de ces procès de modélisation métaphorique dans la construction de nos connaissances. Ses questions ouvrent ainsi vers une épistémologie des sciences : quelles sont les contraintes déterminant notre analyse des phénomènes



linguistiques et de la dynamique des langues ? quels sont les conditionnements orientant nos constructions théoriques ? en fonction de quelles réalités les linguistes orientent-ils leur saisie ?  Puis, considérant nos pratiques dans l’espace communicationnel ordinaire, il se retourne vers la dynamique sémiotique et met en évidence notre activité et notre activisme d’acteurs de la communication dans le procès de mise en signification du langage et d’élaboration des connaissances, suggérant une anthropologie renouvelée qu’il reste à construire.  L’ouvrage s’achève en reliant les deux thèmes abordés dans la perspective d’une épistémologie des sciences humaines.  Examining the way in which we grasp languages and use them to ascribe meaning, this work offers a reflexive and cross-cutting approach at the margins of the disciplines which constitute the human and social sciences. It is addressed to linguists, epistemologists, language theorists and historians, as well as anyone interested in how we construe meaning in and through language.  Beginning with how genealogical filiation has been…

Sommario/riassunto

A cast of leading writers and practitioners tackle the ethical questions that architects are increasingly facing in their work, from practical considerations in construction to the wider social context of buildings, their appearance, use and place in the narrative of the environment. This book gives an account of these ethical questions from the perspectives of historical architectural practice, philosophy, and business, and examines the implications of such dilemmas. Taking the current discussion of ethics in architecture on to a new stage, this volume provides an accumulation of diverse o
