Una propuesta relectura de las pinturas del camarín de la Santa Faz de Alicante
2020
Los óleos con “históricas escenas” de la Santa Faz realizados por Juan Conchillos Falcó (1641-1711) para el camarín del Monasterio de la Santa Verónica (Alicante) son uno de los elementos más destacados de su producción. Sin embargo, pese a su excelente estado de conservación, su importancia y, sobre todo, su gran narratividad, apenas han sido estudiados. Por ello, en las siguientes páginas se propone una nueva interpretación del significado de las mismas en base a las fuentes de la época y las circunstancias en que fueron, intentando analizar su significado y su importancia para la reivindicación de la latría absoluta a la santa Faz.
 
IL LINGUAGGIO DEL FUMETTO TRA MULTIMEDIALITÀ E MULTISENSORIALITÀ. SUE RICADUTE SULL’APPRENDIMENTO

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 …

Analisi della versione cinematografica della fortunata serie tv di cartoni animati per la prima infanzia "Peppa Pig"
Peppa Pig and Friends
2018
This papers presents the first results of an ongoing semiotic research over TV series targeted to early childhood in Italy. In particular, it focuses on discussing and explaining the great success of the animated series Peppa Pig aired in Italy on the thematic channel Rai YoYo, by comparing it with other series available in the same channel, in the period of its first launch (years 2014-2015). Most of the programs taken into account refers to animals with the purpose of using them as a mean to speak about manhood, in a simplified and appealing way. Nothing new. Fairy tales have always been filled with animals to mean vices and virtues of the humans. Aim of the paper is to reveal the complex…
Phenomenology and Semiotics. Crossing Perspectives.
2015
In recent years the study of relationships between semiotics and phenomenology seems to be entering a period of renewed vitality and creativity (CADIOT & VISETTI 2001; ROSENTHAL & VISETTI 2008; 2010; PIOTROWSKI 2009; FONTANILLE 2008; BONDÌ 2012). For a variety of theoretical and historical reasons, there has been a constant osmosis between phenomenological and semiotic methods. In short, on one side, the works and investigations of phenomenologists have provided essential tools to semiotics. To give just an example: the greimasian semiotics theory refers to the process of meaning formation in terms of perceptual apprehension thanks to his original recovery of Merleau-Ponty’s percept…
Introduction: Towards Zoosemiotics 2.0
2018
This volume has at least three directions of discourse. The first is a dialogue between semiotics and other disciplines dealing in animal studies: philosophy, the philosophy of language and mind, the human and social sciences, the cognitive sciences and the neurosciences. The second is a discussion within semiotics, in the passage from zoosemiotics 1.0 to zoosemiotics 2.0. Last but not least is the cultivation of an empirical field of research, or rather a critical exploration of social culture in search of interesting phenomena or, rather, phenomena pertinent to our in-depth theoretical and epistemological study.
Talking about something real: the concept of truth in multimodal non-fiction books for young people
2016
AbstractWithin social semiotics we discuss how different semiotic resources alone or in multimodal texts are used to communicate truth. This is one of the parts of the multimodal theory that are least developed and discussed. The discussion on truth within social semiotics is mainly focused on the relationship between a corresponding type of truth that is common in natural science and a more everyday perception of truth. This can give an incomplete and stereotypical image of how truth is portrayed. This essay attempts to nuance the picture by suggesting that our theoretical conceptions of how we portray truth visually can be nuanced and developed by combining the theory of multimodality wit…
Edusemiotics, Existential Semiotics, and Existential Pedagogy
2016
This chapter examines how the edusemiotic understanding of education can be developed by utilizing certain notions arising from existential pedagogy and existential semiotics. The chapter begins by the authors’ interpretation of Martin Heidegger’s semiotically useful concept of unconcealment in terms of a pedagogical theory compatible with the concept of Bildung. The chapter proceeds to demonstrate how it has been implemented in philosophy of education so as to articulate an existentially discontinuous form of education. Education viewed as the most important task of/for humanity entails a fundamental disruption of continuity: we do not know what kind of humanity we want or need as a way of…
