Towards understanding nonmanuality : A semiotic treatment of signers’ head movements

2019

This article discusses a certain type of nonmanual action, signers’ head movements, from a semiotic perspective. It presents a typology of head movements and their iconic, indexical and symbolic features based on Peircean and post-Peircean semiotics. The paper argues for the view that (i) indexical strategies are very prominent in head movements, (ii) iconic features are most evident in enacting, while non-enacting description is less common, (iii) symbolic types for tokens are infrequent, although some movements—such as nodding and shaking the head—may become more conventional or schematized, and (iv) different types of head movements involve different proportions of iconicity, indexicalit…

Verso una dimensione narrativa delle mappe

2021

Tra il pensiero e la costruzione dell’architettura il disegno ha un ruolo baricentrico per connettere i diversi protagonisti di una realizzazione e per coinvolgere la collettività facendo percepire inedite prospettive. La scrittura si rivela utile per esplicitare ciò che nella grafica è sotteso e per stabilire un ordine nuovo nel ragionamento progettuale. I rapporti fra segni e significati si moltiplicano nei sistemi informativi recenti in cui si ha la sensazione di poter dire moltissimo (dati numerici e spaziali) ma a volte sfugge quella sintesi indispensabile per una interpretazione concreta, finalizzata alla costruzione di possibili esperienze fisiche. Per l’esplorazione dell’uso di dive…

Between the idea and the construction of the architecture the drawing plays a central role to connect the different protagonists of a project. It involves the community by envisaging unprecedented perspectives. Writing is useful to explicit the graphics and establish a new order in the design reasoning. The relationships between signs and meanings multiply in recent information systems in which it seems possible to conclude a lot (thanks to numerical and spatial data) but sometimes a synthesis is missing though that synthesis is fundamental to create new physical experiences. For the exploration of the use of different architectural languages and for the push towards the project rather than a sterile cataloging the case of the Piano Programma for the historic center of Palermo (Giuseppe Samonà Giancarlo De Carlo Umberto Di Cristina Anna Maria Sciarra Borzí 1979-82) reveals to be ambitious. Giuseppe Samonà integrates the classical representation based on Monge's projections with photographs and iconic drawings associating signs with a linguistic-structural communication capable of expressing the relationships between the parts at the basis of a morphological approach to the plan. The graphic story ("second language") of the urban fabric has creative implications expressed by images and annotations ("first language") useful for decoding them. Since the plan focuses on the potential of a storytelling that orients the imagination of its readers (designers citizens politicians) it can contribute to the study titled "B4R– BRANDING 4 RESILIENCE - Tourist infrastructure as a tool to enhance small villages by drawing resilient communities and new open habitats” as a starting point for the mapping in which GIS analysis and multidisciplinary data (geometric topological and quantitative) relating to some villages of the internal Sicily shall translate into a new architectural urban and landscape quality.Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E Urbana

Post-fotografia etnografica

2021

È evidente come la nostra società tecnologica sia legata senza alcun dubbio alla diffusione delle immagini. Autori come Gottfried Boehm, John Mitchell, Hans Belting hanno indagato la natura dell'immagine ponendo le basi, negli anni Novanta, per l'idea di un pictorial turn, di una cultura totalmente dominata dalle immagini che è diventata adesso una possibilità tecnica reale su scala globale. Un nuovo statuto dell'immagine che si usa raccogliere sotto l'etichetta di iconic turner inserito nel più vasto campo visual culture studies. L'uso del termine cultura accanto a quello di visuale è indicativo dell'ampiezza del campo d'indagine che visual culture studies si prefiggono di ricercare: essi …

It is evident that our technological society is undoubtedly linked to the diffusion of images. Authors such as Gottfried Boehm John Mitchell Hans Belting investigated the nature of the image by laying the foundations in the 1990s for the idea of ​​a pictorial turn of a culture totally dominated by images that has now become a real technical possibility on global scale. A new statute of the image that is used to collect under the label of iconic turner inserted in the wider field of visual culture studies. The use of the term culture alongside that of visual is indicative of the breadth of the field of investigation that visual culture studies aim to seek: they do not want to limit themselves to ascertaining the predominance of the visual in contemporary society and an evaluation of its aesthetic component. but they want to proceed towards an anthropological research in which visual culture is analyzed as a particular lifestyle that expresses certain meanings and values ​​not only in art and high culture but also in institutions and daily behavior. We will try to apply this new paradigm to photographs: instead of asking ourselves what the images mean let's try to ask ourselves what they want.

E-LEARNING AND ART OF PROGRAMMING: A CONTEXT ORIENTED TO

2017

Coding or programming is very important for a number of tasks and this is true not only in problem solving but also in the computer science and over. Many skills have to be acquired before to have a high familiarity degree with this science. In the studies for methods of coding, students have a great problem for understanding on how to solve and to develop algorithms in a rational way, thus the expertise on how to solve and to develop algorithms is the most difficult to acquire for all students in whatever age. This paper introduces the prototype of a framework able to running in the web space and to be supported by different devices and browsers, useful to integrate a number of collaborati…

Iconic framework for cooperative coding

2018

The description of an innovative framework built on top of Web-based visual programming environment is the primary aim of this contribution. In the last decade, many frameworks oriented to visual languages have been introduced in literature to improve the skill on programming languages, but at the best of our knowledge, no framework has been specially designed to support collaborative work on heterogeneous distributed environments. Therefore, SIRENE introduces a new framework in which beginners and experts can cooperate to develop algorithms by using a visual and iconic paradigm. Students, in the classroom or connected from everywhere, can be involved into the definition of the algorithm, c…

RICOSTRUIRE L’IDENTITÀ Transitive-Car Design

2018

l concetto di Transitive Design si affaccia all’agone del dibattito internazionale sullo scorcio del XX secolo, nel momento in cui il disegno industriale nella sua globalità stava interrogandosi sui possibili indirizzi del gusto e sui mutamenti che stavano vivendo l’economia e la società. Il termine è stato coniato da Clino Trini Castelli per identificare quegli oggetti di produzione industriale che creano un legame sinergico tra passato e presente, riassumendo forme archetipiche e rinnovandole attraverso nuove funzioni e nuovi materiali. Rientrano nella categoria del Transitive Design tutti quei prodotti che collegano il passato e il futuro sotto il segno della continuità nel mutamento; so…

Parole e immagini riflesse nei romanzi di Consolo.

2013

Il saggio evidenzia l'originalità della sperimentazione stilistica di Consolo ed esamina la costruzione iconologica di due romanzi storici, "Il sorriso dell’ignoto marinaio" e "Lo spasimo di Palermo". L’adozione di una prospettiva iconica è la strategia retorica con cui lo scrittore siciliano formalizza procedimenti di irradiazione metaforica e di correlazione analogica. L’intensità problematica dell’invenzione storica si dispone in una rete complessa di simmetrie e antitesi tra segni pittorici e narrativi, e si articola come flusso metonimico di immagini in grado di rifigurare materiali e forme del Romanzo moderno. The study highlights the originality of Consolo's stylistic experimentation…

Dispositivi pittorici nella narrativa di Vincenzo Consolo.

2018

The study highlights the originality of Consol's stylistic experimentation and examines the iconological construction of novels. The adoption of an iconic perspective is the rhetorical strategy with which the Sicilian author formalizes techniques of metaphorical irradiation and analogical sequences.The problematic intensity of the historic invention is set out in a complex mesh of symmetries and antitheses among pictorial and narrative symbols, and is articulated as metonymic flow of images that are able to show materials and forms of the modern novel.

Visual Tools in Virtual Reality: Complex Environment

1994

In this paper, we analyse an integrated system able to merge graphical and vision technique in order to improve virtual space environment. Virtual space is characterized by Dynamic Visual Icons and Virtual Reality for arising a hererogeneous environment. Essentially, we propose a fusion technique between visual icon and virtual space, where their integration is supported by Visual lcon Grammar (VIG) working on Dynamic lcon and Visual World. VIG allows to test the actions of the Dynamic Icon on the active Visual Word metaphor at the lime "t", and the different rage of transactions between user and VW(visual query, view and brows of under-world,... ). Moreover, user can define, modify and rem…
