Musical Semiotics in Growth - SemioticSigns.com

The international research project on Musical Signification,
since its founding over ten years ago, has
sought to win new scholars to musical semiotics. To
that end, the Department of Musicology at Helsinki
University has already organized five international
doctoral and postdoctoral seminars. They have become
something of a tradition.
The anthology consists of papers presented in the
three first seminars covering areas from music
philosophy and aesthetics to the analysis of vocal and
instrumental as well as electro-acoustic music,
interrelationships of arts, music history, postmodernism,
etc.
The editor of the volume, Eero Tarasti, is Professor
and Chair of N4usicology at the Helsinki University
since 1984 and Director of the International Semiotics
Institute at lmatra since 1988. This book, fourth in the
series Acta Semiotica Fennica, is the first to appear in
cooperation with the Indiana University Press.
