Research On The Conducting By Semiotics

The conducting motion is the main category of conducting method research and the conducting motion is mainly concentrated in the hand signal. At present the domestic research on conducting motion is mainly concentrated in "the technique" then the conducting motion itself fundamental research is deficient. Although the conducting is a primarily artistic discipline based on practices, but the conducting art in the process which knew by people is being misunderstood for lacking of its own rationale at the same time its own development has been affected. Therefore, the conducting art fundamental research waits for the thorough.Stemming from the above points, this article carries on the theory related to the conducting motion from the Semiotics angle. This kind of research is still belonged to "the blank" in domestic at the moment. This research analysis the function structure of the conducting motion mark based on summarize of the literature from the Semiotics angle through Semantics analytic method. Then further discusses the form and the content, the subject and the object, subjectivity and objectivity and so on which is related the implication and the significance of conducting motion's thus promulgates the existence value of the direction for thoroughly fundamental research artistic of direction art Its findings as follows:Firstly, the function structure distinction of conducting motion is helpful to know the relations between the form and content, the subject and object, the subjectivity and objectivity clearly thus the basic skill and expression technique can be effectively grasped and the meaning of conducting art can be deeply understood.Secondly, the conducting motion has the obvious function of transmitting the information, thus the conducting motion as a kind of sign means that the conductor-the conducting motion-the ban members should be differentiated and established from the function and conception and thus the sign theory of conducting motion is established.Thirdly, the "symbolic character" of conducting motion is mostly expressed on the clarity of its "referent". So the conducting motion has more symbolic characters with more clarity. It illuminates that the conducting motion does not or not enough possess symbolic character expression if this kind of conducting motion doesn't express enough music movement or emotion state definitely.Fourth, the conducting motion has dual characters of 'technical symbol' and 'expressive symbol' because of its tendency to the music content. And thus conducting motion has the character of unite and variety.
