Abstract

Abstract: Peirce's "Lesson in Elocution" (written ca. 1892) provides insight into his ideas on continuity and community through his knowledge of performance cultures such as theatre, elocution, rhetoric, and declamation. This unpublished manuscript constitutes the extant part of an application Peirce drafted to the Episcopal Church's General Theological Seminary for the position of elocution instructor. Continuing Henry C. Johnson, Jr.'s account (published in Transactions [2006] vol. 42, no. 4) of the Lesson as evidence of Peirce's religious practices, this article explores the Lesson as demonstration of his performance knowledge and experience. What would Peirce have brought as philosopher and scientist to the teaching of elocution? Conversely, what did his performance knowledge bring to his work on continuity and community? Outlining significant differences between Peirce's semiotic approach and that of the Seminary's then-current instructor, Francis Thayer Russell, the article argues, employing selected performance theory concepts, that performance often operates in semiosis itself, as Peirce defined it.

皮尔斯演讲课的连续性:基于表演的方法

摘要:皮尔斯的《演讲课》(大约写于1892年)通过他对戏剧、演讲、修辞和宣言等表演文化的了解，深入了解了他关于连续性和社区的观点。这份未发表的手稿构成了皮尔斯向圣公会神学院申请演讲讲师职位的申请的现存部分。续小亨利·c·约翰逊(Henry C. Johnson, Jr.)的论述(发表于《交易》[2006]第42卷，第2期)。4)《教训》作为皮尔斯宗教实践的证据，本文探讨了《教训》作为他表演知识和经验的展示。作为哲学家和科学家，皮尔斯会给演讲教学带来什么?相反，他的表演知识给他在连续性和社区方面的工作带来了什么?文章概述了皮尔斯的符号学方法与神学院当时的讲师弗朗西斯·塞耶·拉塞尔(Francis Thayer Russell)的符号学方法之间的重大差异，并采用了一些表演理论概念，认为正如皮尔斯所定义的那样，表演通常在符号学本身中运作。

期刊介绍： Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society has been the premier peer-reviewed journal specializing in the history of American philosophy since its founding in 1965. Although named for the founder of American pragmatism, American philosophers of all schools and periods, from the colonial to the recent past, are extensively discussed. TCSPS regularly includes essays, and every significant book published in the field is discussed in a review essay. A subscription to the journal includes membership in the Charles S. Peirce Society, which was founded in 1946 by Frederic H. Young. The purpose of the Society is to encourage study of and communication about the work of Peirce and its ongoing influence in the many fields of intellectual endeavor to which he contributed.
