Description

This collection of papers published in the last forty years documents the author's journey from philosophy of language to text theory and then to an empirical science of literature, ending with a concept of literary studies as a legitimate part of media culture studies. The main emphasis is placed on communication as a social system. The approach used in the book is strictly interdisciplinary in order to cope with the complexity of the different types of human communication, ranging from everyday talk to literary communication or advertising. Radical Constructivism provides the epistemological basis for this approach - a basis that has undergone important modifications in the course of the author's development.

List of contents

Contents: The linguistic turn in philosophy since the late 19th century - The transition from text to discourse analysis - The systematic development of an empirical science of literature, including literary history - The self-organisation of human communication in media culture societies.

Report

«Die vorliegende Aufsatzsammlung umgreift vierzig Jahre [von Schmidts] an Umbrüchen und Veränderungen reichen Karriere als Philosoph, Wissenschaftler und Künstler. Der Autor bearbeitet den radikalen Konstruktivismus als Reflexionstheorie, wenn er mitarbeitet am Wandel von Sprachwissenschaft und Philologie zur Linguistik, unter Beteiligung von analytischer Sprachphilosophie und Sprachpsychologie. Schmidts Texte stehen in einem sozio-kulturellen Diskurs hypothetischer, also vorläufiger Wissenszustände, die zu Ausgangslagen neuer wissenschaftlicher Textforschungen werden, ohne festgelegte Anfänge und ohne absehbares Ende. Bei seiner Suche nach Innovationen wird Schmidt zum Erfinder, Abgrenzer und Förderer der empirischen Literaturwissenschaft. Anhand verschiedener Grundannahmen werden ein technikzentrierter und ein anthropologischer Ansatz in der Medienwissenschaft zu einem komplexen, integrativen Modell zusammengeführt, unter Zuhilfenahme von Luhmanns konstruktivistischer Systemtheorie.» (Manfred Rühl, Publizistik 3, 2012)
