Visual Representa of a Woman in the Semiotic Landscape of the Baltic States
2014
Linguistic landscape (LL) research of nine cities of the Baltic States shows that feminine discourse is of an essential significance in the public space. This is linguistically proved by feminine person’s names in ergonyms, also by female ergonyms and graffiti themes. However, there are multi-modal advertisements reflecting women and female items in the public space, and they are to be viewed from the perspective of the semiotic landscape. There are 294 photos reflecting a woman excerpted from the LL data base to describe visual images of a woman, focusing on the archetypes and concepts on woman’s role in society. There is a semiotic landscape research method, perception of a visual identit…
Matières de table. Fantaisies gourmandes de Jacques Fontanille.
2021
Following the figurative trajectory of gustatory sensitivity in the work of Jacques Fontanille, three key moments stand out: (1) the entry through the sensory and the flavors, marked by the autonomy of the figurative dimension in the sensitive deployment of the flavor; (2) the putting to the test of the semiotic exploration in different fields of expression: at the table, through "the setting in plate", around the wine; (3) the figurative consistency of the food form as manifestation of a form of life, with its modalities and its modulations
Peirce and Greimas from the Viewpoint of Musical Semiotics: An Outline for a Comparative Semiotics
1982
In semiotics it has become more and more evident that the dream of a unified semiotical science is an unreachable ideal. In this situation of extreme heterogeneity it is also legitimate to ask what kind of unifying metatheories one might develop in general semiotics, as well as in its special branches, like that of musical semiotics.

The purpose of this work is to connect chess and mathematics education. First, we introduce the idea of configural concepts in chess thinking and then we outline a scheme to show the phases of chess reasoning and how to apply this idea to some conflictual situations. We conclude this work proposing two research problems in introducing chess in mathematical classroom activities.
Soglie XXL. Sigle dei programmi televisivi sul dimagrimento
2020
TV show opening credits can be considered as frames which delimit the borders of a filmic text. They aim at advising and attracting the audience by highlighting specific aspects of the program. In doing that, opening credits as well as other forms of intros activate specific styles of relationship between the instances of production and reception of texts. They can be considered acts of enunciation through which the enunciator establishes its own discourse and gives instructions to the enunciatee about the text. In this paper we will analyze these so called “paratexts”, in particular by focusing on the intro sequences of some weight loss TV programs from the Italian television schedule. The…
Peppa Pig
2014
Peppa Pig è la regina delle serie tv rivolte per prima infanzia. Le sue puntate sono trasmesse in tv più di cinquanta volte al giorno da Rai YoYo e altri canali tv. Rappresentano un intrattenimento immancabile e, per certi versi, ineludibile per i piccoli. Il successo di Peppa Pig supera gli argini della programmazione televisiva ed è diventato fenomeno di costume, proliferando nei media più diversi (cinema, tv, internet e quant’altro). Estende anche il potere di fascinazione al mondo delle merci: Peppa si vende in ogni forma e modo, dai quaderni alle magliette, dai pupazzi ai gadget portatili. Peppa è diventata una metafora dei nostri tempi. Ma cosa davvero ci chiede la simpatica maialina …
Discorso sul metodo di Peppa Pig
2022
This article goes through the events and the theoretical problems raised by the publication of a Semiotic essay that the author has dedicated to the analysis of Peppa Pig, a popular TV series targeted to early-childhood. Assuming a situated point of view, it chooses to dramatize the position of the researcher towards the complexity as represented by the emergence of the “wilderness” of the text to analyze. Consequently, this article aims at enlightening the strategies actually followed by the author in facing this complexity. What format and style to choose in the writing process? How to identify the limits of the text? How to evaluate the eventuality that inspired the analytical curiosity …
