The Routledge Handbook of Music Signification
Year: 2020
Type: book
Abstract: Situated in the domains of the philosophy of language, generalized linguistics and semiotics—and to some extent in the philosophy of science—semio-ethics is a field ofresearch whose leading proponents are the Italian team of theorists, Susan Petrilli and Augusto Ponzio (2003, 2010). My essay applies this global vision of the world of signs to the domain of musical meaning (Tarasti 2006; Esclapez 2014). This theoretical and speculative hypothesis proposesa means by which the field of music semiotics can evolve beyond the communication model—the paradigm from which it emerged during the post-1960s theory of linguisticturn—towards something I call the “interpretation of musical speech.” Beginning with an overview of semio-ethics and some of its key concepts, I outline the nature of musicalsemiotics as it relates to present-day practice.
