From Extensity to Protensity in CAS: Adding Sounds to Icons
2009
Being aware of the gap between technological offers and user expectations, the paper aims to illustrate the necessity of anthropocentric designs ("user-pulled") and to reveal the dangers of current ICT designs ("technology-pushed"). Since the gap is deepened because of insufficient innovative use of new agent-oriented technology potential, an affordable manner to "invent new Computer-Aided x" application domains is proposed. To substantiate the approach, the domain must be challenging, easy to implement and "as humanist as possible": Computer-Aided Semiosis (CAS). On this background, the paper also presents a new and challenging concept in IT applied research, borrowed from psychology and m…
Parlare per ascoltarsi. Note su alcuni aspetti dell'interlocuzione.
2015
This paper considers the nature of interlocution from the point of view of three different research programs: the theory of enunciative operations of Antoine Culioli (or toe), the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan (or pla) and the enactive grammar of Didier Bottineau (or ge). It is composed of three parts: in the first part, we introduce some definitions of interlocution in order to distinguish between terms and empirical supports of interlocution. The second part is devoted to the analysis of some sensorial operations that are at work in the context of verbal inter- action – with particular reference to the cases of acoustic feedback. Finally, in the last part we discuss in which sense and u…
Alcune riflessioni storico-critiche sul cosiddetto “paradosso di Duval”
2013
In 1993 a famous article by Raymond Duval highlighted a simple fact: students confuse the mathematical object O, that they are trying to build cognitively, with one of its semiotic representations R(O); he explained that this confusion was due to a sort of inevitable paradox: only someone who has already built O, can recognize R(O) as a representation of O and not as an object in itself. This idea has been extremely influential for researchers in the following years. However, many scholars of semiotics have emphasized the same phenomenon, even if in not quite the same words; in this paper we are going to mention some of them.
SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONS:TOWARDS A COGNITIVE SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF MEANING IN HUMAN TECHNOLOGY INTERACTION
2015
Information technology has perpetuated the role of symbolism in everyday life practice, through its reliance on sign systems for its creation and operation. Increasingly attention has been placed on applying semiotic techniques to analyze user interface design and usability. Surprisingly, although the move towards symbolic interaction has been one of the most striking components of the digital shift, it has proven difficult to build bridges between semiotics and HTI-design thinking. In this article we argue that the problems in linking semiotic analysis of human technology interaction with modern HTI-design paradigms such as usability or user experience arise from a theoretical gap between …
Sustainable Development: E-teaching (now) for Lifelong E-Learning
2011
Abstract To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day. LAO TZU , “Tao Te Ching” The paper aims at convincing psychologist to cooperate in permanent education, by giving them a general idea about the first objectives of the PhD thesis titled “Nondeterministic e-Teaching for Sustainable Development in Rapidly Changing Environments”: a) Validating the role of e-teaching for sustainable development in Eastern Europe in line with the Europe 2020 strategy. (Europe 2020 is a 10-year strategy proposed by the European Commission on 3 March 2010 for reviving the economy of the European Union. It aims at “smart, sustainable, inclusive growth” with greater coordi…
Ģeometrisko zīmju un to uztveres semiotiska analīze latviešu zīmolos
2016
Ģeometriskās zīmes bieži tiek izmantotas zīmolvedībā un šķiet esam daļa no arhetipiska koda kultūras mantojuma pamatā, kas veido identitāti, tādēļ šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt ģeometriskā raksta lomu valodas fenomenoloģijā, aprakstīt to kā zīmju sistēmu un veikt kvalitatīvu desmit Latvijas zīmolu, kuru logotipos ietvertas ģeometriskas zīmes, uztveres analīzi, lai noteiktu, ciktāl grafiskās zīmes iemieso zīmola vēstījumu saskaņā ar zīmolvedības, apziņas un modelēšanas sistēmu, kā arī ģeometriskā raksta un krāsu koda teorijām un interpretācijām. Zīmolu un pilotaptaujā iegūto datu semiotiska analīze liecina, ka ģeometriskās zīmes rosina daudzslāņainu sarunu par zīmola vēstījumu balstītu zīmes…
On Mathematical Language: Characteristics, Semiosis and Indispensability
2021
Mathematicians and others often discuss mathematics as a universal language, and say that mathematics holds a special status among sciences. In particular, it is the language of science. In some way, it is the basis of the physical world, but globally it is beyond any other science, and it is not a mere servant of sciences. Apparently, mathematical language is simple, with a little grammar and a limited vocabulary, but very different from others. Unlike natural languages, it is a rigorously defined and unambiguous one. This characteristic constitutes its greatest advantage: its complete lack of ambiguity. Although it is limited in the range of things that can express, it can be adapted to t…
O wizerunkowości sfery publicznej i jej analizie retorycznej
2016
Rozdział wstępny zawiera omówienie pojęcia wizerunek medialny i uzasadnienie mnogości perspektyw badawczych w odniesieniu do wizerunkowości. Jednym z najważniejszych motywów wzrostu zainteresowania wizerunkowością jest medializacja sfery publicznej, a więc i celowe, strategiczne kreowanie i używanie wizerunków w komunikacji publicznej. Obserwuje się także przenoszenie akcentu badawczego z językowego do wizualnego wymiaru wizerunkowości. Nie umniejsza to roli retoryki jako teoretycznie ugruntowanej perspektywy badawczej w krytycznej analizie wizerunków medialnych, które w niniejszym tomie są postrzegane jako konstrukty retoryczne. Analiza retoryczna wizerunkowości jest celem badawczym zaprez…
Le sens du regard Contribution sémiotique à la technique de l'eye-tracking face aux packagings produits
2009
International audience; This work is presenting a semiotic point of view of a promising but problematic tool of the communication field -eye-tracking- which is used in various fields to track and exploit the eye-path on an object. Drawing form a list of eye-paths on various packagings, the first step of the analysis was the identification without theoretical a priori- of fixed patterns in these paths. Several models can then be inferred on how the order of acquisition of the elements of an image or a pack might have an influence on the construction of their overall meaning.; Ce travail propose un point de vue sémiotique sur un outil du champ de la communication prometteur mais problématique…
