1. The Current Relevance of Realist DiscourseAleš Vaupotič, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: The paper focuses the idea of realism by explaining the evident situation that the realist approach is the oldest of Western art practices, which –running in parallel to other currents – has extended into the second half of the twentieth century and even further. The discussion expands beyond literature to other arts. The starting point is the notion of literary realism after 1830 as used in literary history linked to the “great” novelistic tradition. In the twentieth century, the status of literary realism with its varieties of late and “neo-” realisms turns problematic. The reconsidered idea of realism unequivocally renounces links with the scholarly traditions explaining realism as “representation” or “reflection” etc. of the objective reality. The “debate on expressionism” in the 1930s and the avant-garde movements –in some of its tendencies –are an extension of the realist movement. The reconsidered view on realism is founded on the concept of the archive, increasing in importance on the theoretical level and in various poetics throughout the twentieth century. (However, Walter Benjamin's theory of allegory, though it could be considered a variant of the theory of archive, falls outside the limits of realism.) The paper argues for the discursive definition of realism, advanced by Hans Vilmar Geppert on the ground of Peirce's pragmaticism, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional approaches to realism.
Keywords: realism, realist discourse, Hans Vilmar Geppert, Charles Sanders Peirce

2. Vprašanje realizmaAleš Vaupotič, 2019, scientific monograph Abstract: Z nalogo pokazati, da je realistični diskurz aktualen mišljenjski model
tudi v današnjem času, besedilo sledi krožni poti, ki jo predstavlja diagram
treh tem iz izhodiščnega raziskovalnega vprašanja po današnji aktualnosti realističnega
diskurza v luči literarnega realizma in novomedijske umetnosti.
Prvi del razprave pregleda področje raziskav literarnega realizma, kot ga
stroka razume v historičnem smislu za literarne pojave po letu 1830. Na
kritičen način so predstavljene osrednje razlage realizma v literaturi. Izhodišče
realističnega diskurza je kriza dejanskosti. Drugi del besedila osvetli
problematiko sodobne umetniške ustvarjalnosti na prelomu 20. v 21. stoletje
na področju novomedijske umetnosti. Tretji del razprave išče stične
točke med literarnozgodovinskimi raziskavami in teoretskimi ter poetološkimi
modeli sodobne umetnosti. Pristop, ki združuje na videz zelo različne
pojave – literaturo in (praviloma računalniško podprte) nove medije – je
v raziskovanju literarnega realizma novost. Prek prizem literarnega realizma
in novomedijske umetnosti raziskava poišče rezultat, razlago realizma.
Preprostega odgovora glede aktualnosti, npr. zgolj literarnega realizma v 21.
stoletju, besedilo pravzaprav ne ponuja, skonstruira pa uporaben realistični
način mišljenja sveta, v katerem živimo.
Keywords: realizem, literarni realizem, novi mediji, elektronski mediji, intermedijska umetnost, umetnost in znanost, teorija arhiva, pragmatizem, pragmaticizem, Hans Vilmar Geppert

3. Theory of Discourse and Semiotics : Foucault, Bakhtin, PeirceAleš Vaupotič, 2019, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The paper begins with an analysis of a news article reporting
on scientific discovery. The scientific methods are considered from
the point of view of Peircean semiotics and the structuralist semiology.
The usefulness of the Peircean approach in literary scholarship is demonstrated
in the case of the realist novel as it is construed by Hans Vilmar
Geppert. By considering Geppert’s alignment of Bakhtin’s theory of the
novel with Peirce’s sign-theory the similarities and differences between
the discourse-theoretical (considering also Foucault’s work) and semiotic
approaches is outlined. In the second part of the text two cases of artistic
research are presented, the first one, the Friedhof Laguna project from
2003, being realised in the discourse-theoretical frameworks, and the
second one, 3-D visualizations of the NEWW Women Writers database
from 2017, being grounded in the Peircean semiotics.
Keywords: C. S. Peirce, semiotics, F. de Saussure, semiology, M. M. Bakhtin, theory of discourse, H. V. Geppert, realist novel, scientific research, archive, artistic research, information visualization
