Diagrammatic Gestures. Cognition, Mathematics, and Semiotics.
2021
here are words having an extraordinary evocative power. This is precisely the case of “Diagram” and “Gesture”. The frst term covers an interconnected network of concepts like “graph”, “schema”, “form”, “model”, “arrow”, and so on... And the same can be said of the second one: just think, for example, of the ideas of “movement”, “bodily action”, “practical activity” or, more generally, of “doing”. Accounting for them has been, over the last 50 years, the aim of signifcant portions of the work conduction in philosophy (Deleuze, Foucault, Merleau-Ponty), mathematics (Grothendieck, Lawvere, Thom), semiotics (Peirce), and theoretical linguistics (Culioli, Langacker, Pottier). The present issue a…
Where is meaning going? Semantic Potentials and Enactive Grammars
2018
The paper tries to explicate the relationship between two fundamental concepts of the theoretical research in cognitive linguistics: semantic potentials and enactive grammars. It is divided into three parts. The first one introduces the notion of semantic potential. In the second part, we examine the notion of enaction with particular reference to its applications in the theoretical framework of linguistic reflexion. In the last one, you can find a detailed analysis of some theoretical topics that are at the center of the actual debate.
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…
The silent work of speech. On an Enactive Grammar’s Insight
2019
Many research programs have been worked out in recent years in order to account for an apparently trivial aspect of the human language activity. We refer to the fact that every speaker hears the sound of his own words. Our paper aims to embed this empirical insight in the theoretical framework of the so-called enactive grammar. This choice is justified by the fact that the enactive grammar introduced a formal distinction which allows to provide a clear formulation of the jakobsonian assert. In order to highlight this point, the paper will be subdivided into seven sections. The first section will be devoted to the experience of the hearing oneself speak. The second one will examine this expe…
Sense-Making, Meaningfulness, and Instrumental Music Education
2020
The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the nature of "meaning" and "meaningfulness" in the context of instrumental music education. By doing so, I propose to expand the ways in which instrumental music educators conceive their mission and the ways in which we may instill meaning in people's lives. Traditionally, pursuits of philosophical deliberation have claimed that meaningfulness comes from either personal happiness (e.g., Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill) or an impersonal sense of duty (e.g., St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant). However, philosopher Wolf (2010) criticizes these positions in favor of a broader perspective, one that arises from understanding that …
Concevoir pour le développement dans une approche non-curriculaire en formation des adultes
2016
International audience; La formation des adultes est principalement structurée selon une approche curriculaire et séquentielle ayant montré son efficacité, et qui suppose notamment i) la didactisation préalable d'objets d'apprentissage, ii) l'identification des situations susceptibles de favoriser l'acquisition de ces objets et iii) la répétition et la graduation de ces situations. Cette approche montre aussi ses limites i) vis-à-vis de certains publics (en échec à l'université, évitant la formation continue, décrochant des institutions), et ii) vis-à-vis d'enjeux sociétaux majeurs (catastrophes industrielles et environnementales, atteintes graves à la santé…). Cette inadéquation est due à …
Growing a Project-Based Translation Pedagogy: A Fractal Perspective
2012
Le présent article propose un cheminement fractal à travers la psychologie et la philosophie éducative, avec l’intention de faire la lumière sur une représentation arborescente de sources d’inspiration interdisciplinaires et complémentaires pour une pédagogie de la traduction par projets. Commençant par la méthode d’apprentissage socioconstructiviste proposée au tournant du millénaire, notre propos tente de brosser un vaste portrait des influences synergiques sous-jacentes à l’approche émergente « holistique-expérientielle » de la formation en traduction. Le post-modernisme, l’énaction dans les sciences cognitives, la théorie de la complexité, la théorie éducative transformationnelle et l’é…
Gestural expressions in use for unveiling dynamic experience attributed to verbs
2013
The focus of this paper is on justifying the presented experimental design that aims at examining the enactive linkages between a verb’s content and a sensorimotor experience of movement. The experiment utilised spontaneous production of hand and vocal gestures for expressing the energetic feel attributed to a word. Preliminary qualitative analysis of the expressions shows degrees of similarity in terms of experiential movement qualities. These results imply that conceiving a verb’s meaning is not necessarily far removed from bodily action. peerReviewed
