Learning (with) animation
The paper employs the principles of semiotics of culture and social semiotics to explore the educational applications of animation with an empirical focus on Soviet Estonian animated films. We begin by discussing the polyglottic nature of animation as a medium, highlighting features unique to the local context. Soviet Estonian animation, conceptualized as a representative of the “Soviet West” (Pikkov 2016: 28), combines the universal conventions …
Digitaalne lugemine ja humanitaarharidus
Digitaalne lugemine on kujunemas humanitaarteaduste võtmemõisteks. Oluliseks tõukeks sellele on tarkvara arenguga kaasnevad võimalused, mis on humanitaaridele harjumuspärase lähilugemise kõrvale toonud kauglugemise, suurte tekstikorpuste ning metaandmete tõlgendamise jm. Digitaalse lugemise eripäraks on aga asjaolu, et see sisaldab peale sõnaliste tekstide lugemise ka vaatamist ja kuulamist (vt Ojamaa, Torop 2020). Väidame, et üleminek raamatukes…
On the Digital Semiosphere
It is only since global media and digital communications became accessible to ordinary populations – with Telstar, jumbo jets, the pc and mobile devices – that humans have been able to experience their own world as planetary in extent. What does it mean to be one species on one planet, rather than a patchwork of scattered, combative and mutually untranslatable cultures? One of the most original and prescient thinkers to tackle cultural globalisat…
Hotspots for textual dynamics
Digital cultural archives and databases are promising an era of heritage democratization and an enhancement of the role of arts in everyday cultures. It is hoped that mass digitization initiatives in many corners of the world can facilitate the secure preservation of human cultural heritage, with easy access and diverse ways for creative reuse. Understanding the dialogic processes within these increasingly vast databases necessitates a dynamic co…
Emergent self-mediating classes in the digital semiosphere
In this article, we advocate for media studies to adopt a systematic evolutionary-complexity model, in order to link the study of human culture and knowledge practices to the biosphere and geosphere, arguing that such global phenomena require a new kind of cultural science. For this purpose, we extend Juri Lotman's model of the semiosphere to the “digital semiosphere”, superseding inherited adversarial models in both mainstream media and media st…
Kultuuripärand ja digitaalne lugemine
Kultuuripärandi säilimine kultuurimälus, selle osalus kultuuriidentiteedi väärtustamises ja kultuuri kestlikkuse tagamises sõltub tema meelespidamise viisidest. Tänapäeval on nendeks viisideks transmeedialisus ja digitaalne lugemine. Pärandi vahendajatena ilmuvad raamatute kõrvale digitaalsed platvormid. Nende eesmärk on ühtlasi kultiveerida uusi kirjaoskusi, mis ei põhine üksnes verbaalsel emakeelel, sest kultuuris osalemine eeldab üha enam ka p…
The Creativity of Digital (Audiovisual) Archives
Much writing on, first, analogue and, later, digital archives has focused on related power-dynamics and the structuring effects of archives and their technologies on discursive freedom and cultural dynamics. In recent years, however, work within the media archaeology domain, especially by Wolfgang Ernst, has addressed how the specific materialities of digital archives, and the nature of their algorithms and particular functions, could be seen to …
Culture as education
For the past three years, the Transmedia Research Group at the Department of Semiotics, University of Tartu, has been developing open access online materials for supporting the teaching of humanities-related subjects in Estonian- and Russianlanguage secondary schools. This paper maps the theoretical and conceptual starting points of these materials. The overarching goal of the educational platforms is to support cultural coherence and autocommuni…
Newsreels versus Newspapers versus Metadata
This article offers a comparative take on the ways audiovisual versus verbal digital archives model our understanding of the past. We focus on content metadata schemas and their role in modeling histories and framing the uses of audiovisual databases. Our empirical corpus includes verbal and audiovisual objects from the five-year period just before the World War II (1935-1939) as presented in two digital databases – the Analytic Bibliography of E…
A hundred introductions to semiotics, for a million students
In order to estimate the current situation of teaching materials available in the field of semiotics, we are providing a comparative overview and a worldwide bibliography of introductions and textbooks on general semiotics published within last 50 years, i.e. since the beginning of institutionalization of semiotics. In this category, we have found over 130 original books in 22 languages. Together with the translations of more than 20 of these tit…
Transmediality of cultural autocommunication
In his studies of culture, Juri Lotman implicitly expressed several ideas that have been rendered explicit by the contemporary mediasphere. The aim of the current article is to explicate a link between Lotmanian cultural semiotics and transmediality as one of today’s more innovative communicative practices. Transmediality is hereby located in the context of cultural autocommunication as a mechanism serving both creative and mnemonic functions. Th…
Kultuurimälu transmeedialisus
SISSEJUHATUS Kunstitekstid(1) on oluliseks allikaks, mille põhjal kujuneb kultuurikandjate arusaam ajaloost. Nende toime sündmuste modelleerimisele kultuurimälus pole sugugi vähemtähtis ajalooteaduslike, pedagoogiliste või memuaarsete tekstide omast. Üht ja sama episoodi vahendavad teosed ei asetse kultuurimälus mitte eraldiseisvatena, vaid sulanduvad kokku uue tasandi tervikuks. Nii on õigustatud ka suure ajalise distantsiga või muude tunnuste p…
