English to Croatian: Mimesis as a phenomenon of semiotic communication Detailed field: Linguistics
Source text - English The goal of this article is to introduce possibilities for understanding
and using the notion of mimesis in connection with some semiotic
concepts and views. In everyday use, the word ‘mimesis’ is mainly
understood in connection with the terms ‘representation’ or ‘imitation’.
The Concise OED explains ‘mimesis’ as
1. imitative representation of the real world in art and literature;
2. the deliberate imitation of the behaviour of one group of people by another
as a factor in social change;
3. zoology mimicry of another animal or plant.
(Pearsall 2002: 905)
Under this surface of meanings there is the myriad of connections and
connotations which engage ‘mimesis’ to many historical layers of
culture, making it quite difficult to define.
As a concept, mimesis originates from Antique philosophy.
Through the course of history different schools and authors have used
it, thus making ‘mimesis’ one of the classical concepts of Western
philosophy. The meanings and uses of ‘mimesis’ have varied remarkTimo
Maran 192
ably, although ‘mimesis’ was probably not a notion with a single
meaning even in the times when first mentioned in the literature.
Therefore it is quite superficial to refer to it today as a single category.
Gunter Gebauer and Christoph Wulf have also accepted in their
profound overview “Mimesis: culture, art, society”, that it is not possible
to give a unitary definition that would cover all common uses of
the notion in different traditions and fields (Gebauer, Wulf 1995: 2).
Translation - Croatian Cilj je ovog članka uvesti mogućnosti za razumijevanje i korištenje pojma mimesisa u vezi s nekim semiotičkim konceptima i gledištima. U svakodnevnoj upotrebi, riječ 'mimesis' se obično povezuje s pojmovima 'reprezentacija' ili 'imitacija'. Koncizni Oxfordov rječnik (The Concise OED) ovako definira 'mimesis':
1. imitacijsko predstavljanje stvarnog svijeta u umjetnosti i književnosti;
2. namjerna imitacija ponašanja neke skupine ljudi od neke druge kao faktor društvene promjene;
3. zoologija mimikrija druge životinje ili biljke.
(Pearsall 2002.: 905)
Ispod ove površine značenjâ postoji mnoštvo veza i konotacija koje povezuju 'mimesis' s mnogim povijesnim slojevima kulture, zbog čega ga je teško definirati.
Kao pojam, mimesis dolazi iz antičke filozofije. Kroz povijest koristile su ga razne škole i razni autori, što ga čini jednim od klasičnih pojmova zapadnjačke filozije. Značenja i upotrebe pojma značajno su se razlikovali, iako 'mimesis' vjerojatno nije bio jednoznačan pojam ni kad je prvotno spomenut u literaturi. Zato je danas površno govoriti o njemu kao o jedinstvenoj kategoriji. Gunter Gebauer i Christoph Wulf također su u svom temeljitom pregledu „Mimesis: kultura, umjetnost, društvo“, zaključili da nije moguće dati jednoznačnu definiciju koja bi pokrila sve poznate upotrebe pojma u različitim tradicijama i poljima. (Gebauer, Wulf 1995.:2).
