The embodiment of language: sign function and semiotic threshold
RIFL, 2020
In the last decades a deep revision of Saussure's conception of language has shed some new light on the nature of language and its double essence, confirming the inadequacy of the 'dichotomies' by which his theory has been vulgarized, especially out of Europe. In a renewed Saussurean philosophy of language, Saussurism is no longer ascribable to an extreme culturalism, nor probably is Structuralism. Indeed, if one rethinks the dialectic between the faculté du langage, the langue and the parole, and then refocuses the notion of sign function and of semiotic threshold, Saussure's theory and its structuralist implications could as well suggest a non-reductionist perspective that could even venture to enhance the current theories of Embodied Cognition. This paper outlines some routes by which a profitable dialogue could be opened.
🔗 Per acquistare il volume: https://bit.ly/4bkaJhM Il volume inaugura la nuova collana della SISMEL, «Iconographica Library». E' disponibile sia in formato cartaceo, sia in Open Access (➡️www.mirabileweb.it). Questo libro non ambisce a proporre una nuova teoria, bensì si propone di esplorare i molteplici modi in cui la nozione di immagine viene oggi utilizzata, affrontata e compresa nel lavoro quotidiano di chi si occupa di studi visivi. Un elenco di sedici domande è stato inviato a venticinque studiosi di diversi Paesi: le loro risposte sono di per sé una testimonianza efficace della molteplicità di approcci che emergono dall’esperienza personale dei singoli studiosi nella propria interazione dinamica con le realtà (culturali, politiche, accademiche) che li circondano. 📚 SOMMARIO: Editors’ Note, by M.

The idea of memory from the XV Flaming history of music deals with the overlapping continua, denigrated note to become a full experiment of spiritual listening in practice: what a truth action is. The conversion point of Moebius. From the text ‘Human’ of Cartesio published posthumously, to the environment for a philosophical thought of Croce in some aesthetic crisis (Anceschi) the idea of ‘tempo’ has taken in advance question of field, plan, homological issues to establish a scientific cognition of facts, deeds, thoughts. The discovery that the drawing master of Cézanne thought his elementary method of analysis (Cavina), brought in light the opportunity of disguise on mannerism more freely in the research of a fourth syllogistic call for arts, than before to let be possible the learning from the early masterpiece the Euclidian illusions of the touching corners of a triangle in Lisippo, its closure in a cube of the self of a surrender pugilist as well as the circular overspreading motion of desperation of the Lacoonte. Therefore, to reconstruct and develop some observation of the method of relief of the perspective of Poncelet, left overtly a possible explanation of the right of the fugue: the real setting. A purpose with a pragmatic issue, to seizure and code, which recalls Renaissance: the rediscovery of the Plato’s cave, as a good since Piero della Francesca. In a few years, some cases showed their contradiction and misfortune: the ‘difformity’ of Rothko, of David, and the ‘paganism’ of classics as Michelangelo. The disappearance of Raffaello, Leone X and Leonardo and the visual rhetoric of Tiziano as anticipation, or late, post figurative issue? The state of art semiotics though shaped in the continuous of the Academy of Arts, may need to inform cases of a natural light of recognition of the Second Wars, drag into revenge, solitude, the artists gathered in ruptures with the process for its ideological foundations seemed clear to all, from Pablo Picasso to Pierre Soulages, Emilio Vedova. Keywords Cartesian structures - Croce builds - Barilli’s generations Husserl’s scheme - The point of view deal as in Fontanille; Clock – unlock theory: Poncelet summary of perspective and fugue; Mark Rothko abstractions - Studies: Thurlemann - DaSilva reactions/abstraction as relief in composition – disposition – proportion, the reasons and the energy of the masterpiece (William Blake)
The Symbolic Threshold: A Dynamic form of the Mind as an Expression of Radiant Thinking
The definition of "symbolic species" used by Terrence W. Deacon means more complete the process of monitoring the encounter between semiotics and cognitive sciences neurosemiotics better defined. Approach: The mechanism of the symbolic threshold means that it is put in place an approach to reality no longer seen as a representative of simple association, but under a restructuring or a recombination, at least relatively stable, a number of different elements in a hierarchical plan. Possible will be a channel for research that is based on the theoretical model called "symbolic" and use the model interactive / cognitive develop through which different forms of language, communication and supports the expression and actions of each of us. From the neurobiological point of view, with regard to neuronal function, several theories are based on brain function as a binder with extreme plasticity, consistent with fragments of information to higher levels of the brain are organized and interact in order to acquire meaning. These transactions are done through organizing maps consist of groups of neurons, synapses and neurotransmitters, continuous regeneration to form categories of objects and events to recognize. Results: The most effective in building a map of the difference of a traditional information technology, borrowed from the language suggested by our mind, are much more spontaneous and direct .The study showed the effectiveness of this tool as the construction of knowledge of the inexhaustible capacity of the mind during laboratory work at the Degree of Education, University of Salerno (Italy), compared to affected users mainly adopt systems, strategies and possible interventions for teaching in kindergartens and adolescence. Conclusion: Applicability of the questionnaires were administered in teaching and scientific mind map. The consequences of the administration of the questionnaire has far exceeded expectations and led the students, the motivation to carry out projects to promote knowledge of the fundamentals of experience in various fields and disciplines, through a system that is considered usable, functional, from early childhood, particularly for people with disabilities.

This book is about the nature of images. It begins with a theory about how semiotics is more or less ruined by images, even though parts of it can be recovered in an historically specific fashion. The book compares familiar Western images with less familiar objects in order to question what we take as natural properties of images. One chapter is about neolithic marking; another is about the prehistoric Balkan Vinca culture, which produced writing-like artifacts; a third is on Persian and Chinese texts about images. This chapter surveys concepts of figure and ground in a number of different disciplines, including cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, and Gestalt psychology, in order to broaden and problematize the largely phenomenological and modernist senses of figure and ground that continue to dominate critical writing. Originally published as On Pictures and the Words That Fail Them (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998, reissued 2011).
