Going in Homer: The Role of Verb-Inherent Actionality Within Self-Propelled Motion-Event Encoding
2019
The paper aims at investigating the encoding of self-propelled motion events in Homeric Greek in the light of the typology of motion events, taking into account the case of to go. The verbal class of the self-propelled motion refers to those verbs expressing the idea of a simple translational motion, such as to go, to move, without any information about the manner of motion (see, by contrast, the class of the manner-of-motion verbs, such as to run, to swim) or about the path of motion (see, by contrast, the class of the path verbs, such as to enter, to exit). According to Talmy (2000), world languages can be distinguished depending on whether they prototypically express the semantic compone…

Sacrificio in regime mediatico. Dal fatto al senso, e ritorno
2019
Today we live in a society and in a historical moment that is losing the sense of sacrifice, that is the pertinent interweavings that bind - with respect to the theme of the meat diet and the preliminary killing of the animal for food - man and animals, man and other men through the animal, the animal with other animals through man, not without the necessary inclusion of the cultural context, on the one hand, and divinity and the sacred, on the other. If meaning is given - according to the dictate of semiotics - in the networks of relations that compose it (where - according to the structuralist dictate - relations are primary and related elements secondary), the loss of the sense of sacrif…
Animismi animali
2023
Poco tempo fa, a un pranzo domenicale, conversavo con una signora di mezz’età sulle vacanze estive appena trascorse. «Lasciamo perdere», mi dice, «oramai sono diventata la nonna dei cani». La signora mi spiega che i suoi due figli, precari, convivono con le rispettive fidanzate, ma non osano far figli sicché hanno preso, ognuno, una coppia di canòni, di non so quale pregiatissima razza, che amano alla follia e che durante le ferie e i sabato sera vengono, manco a dirlo, depositati a casa dei genitori, cioè della mia dirimpettaia di tavola, che ama immensamente i suoi ragazzi e tutto ciò che essi emanano, al punto da sacrificare le proprie meritate vacanze per accudire quei quadrupedi decisa…
Il discorso animale
2019
For semiotics, the question of the talking animal is evidence but, in other ways, it is something unthought of, a theme that still needs to be worked on and discussed in view of new models of reflection and analysis. It is an evidence because talking animals are the norm in fairy tales, in legends, myths, fiction and so on: all material that, adequately analysed, has led to the theory of narrativity, where a non-human actor can play even very complex attitudinal roles. Even very complex ones. However, this is also something unthought of because, after all, narrative grammar, in its interplay between actors and actants, has in some way humanised animals, situating itself within an epistemolo…
Zoosémiotique 2.0
2019
To semiotise the animal - to narrate it, to say it, to represent it, to think it, to make it an object of science - means to manage the politics of an unsecured threshold: that which separates it, more or less obstinately, from man. To define the animal is to define man, of course. However, it is more interesting to note that, often surreptitiously, giving the animal a place among the "kingdoms" of nature means, in parallel, adding it between the articulation of the social, between cultural institutions (kinship, affection and kinship, affection and affiliations, strategies and conflicts...). In In other words, to make the animal the object of knowledge is to propose a certain political vis…
Postfazione a La pittura di mercato
2019
An exuberant vitality, critics say about the so-called Fugger cycle by Vincenzo Campi. A eulogy to morality, echoes Lucia Corrain echoes them in the book we have just finished, overturning the most widespread interpretation. What appears to many as a minor pictorial genre, a transient by-product of natura nature, even burlesque, here takes on, in this important essay on the semiotics of art, assumes, in this important essay on the semiotics of art, an entirely different, and much higher, historical and cultural, social and anthropological value. cultural, social and anthropological value.
Developing picture communication for interactional situations at the beginning of the asylum process; mapping interactional practices
2019
The paper reports the initial findings of the first phase of the research and development project PICCORE – Picture Communication in Reception Centres. The goal was to map the use of pictures and other visual modes of communication at reception centres in Finland using an ethnographic, multimodal research approach. The ethnographic data was collected at four reception c entres in Finland. A multimodal viewpoint draws attention to how action and meanings are mediated through pictures. The initial findings mark established practices for enabling and coordinating mutual attention, supporting the use of visual and embodied resources in interactions and – as a consequence – supporting mutual und…
