Translation in Semiosis of Life/Translation in Globalisation
Translation converges with life. And life constitutionally is to interpret and translate signs. Consequently, a symptom can be variously interpreted; and it is vital that it be interpreted correctly. Hunger and providing food is a condition for survival, not only in anthroposemiosis, but also in zoosemiosis overall; not only one’s own survival, but that of future generations. This type of vital interpretation is translation. Translation is vital …
Semioethics and global communication
In the sign of homaging Paul Cobley as part of this Festschrift for him, we will consider two of his edited volumes: the first The Routledge companion to semiotics , 2010, to which we contributed a text titled “Semioethics,” and the second (co-edited with Kristian Bankov), Semiotics and its masters , 2017, to which we contributed the text “Semioethics as a vocation of semiotics.” Particular reference is made to Paul’s observations in his “Introdu…
On Words and Visions of the World
Significs, Pragmatism and Mother-Sense
Welby’s correspondence with Peirce began with his review of What is Meaning? (1903), a contribution not only to spreading Peirce’s later thinking, but also to reproposing Welby’s “significs.” This is encounter between the pragmatist Peirce’s approach to semiotic and Welby’s significs oriented by mother-sense. A dialogue between two conceptions of meaning which, notwithstanding differences, meet in a participative contribution to constructing the …

The Law Challenged and the Critique of Identity with Emmanuel Levinas
Identity as traditionally conceived in mainstream Western thought is focused on theory, representation, knowledge, subjectivity and is centrally important in the works of Emmanuel Levinas. His critique of Western culture and corresponding notion of identity at its foundations typically raises the question of the other. Alterity in Levinas indicates existence of something on its own account, in itself independently of the subject’s will or conscio…
Language, Communication and the Gift Economy
Maternal gift-giving sustains life and creates positive human relations. Addressing important issues in the theory of language and communication, Genevieve Vaughan associates language and mothering to the free gift economy. A fundamental hypothesis is that maternal gift-giving, mothering/being-mothered forms a non-essentialist, but fundamental core process of material and verbal communication that has been neglected by the Western view of the wor…
Translatability, modeling, otherness and the intersemiotic spaces of meaning
What comes to the attention immediately in translation is the relationship between the initial text and the destination text. In interlingual translation these two texts belong to two different historical-natural languages, the transition is from the verbal to the verbal. But the interpretive trajectory transits through multiple sign systems, never exclusively verbal. Interlingual translation involves the verbal signs of historical-natural langua…
Rossi-Landi e il pragmatismo
As already emerges in his 1961 book, Significato, comunicazione e parlare comune, Rossi-Landi reflects on sign and language relatedly to the American tradition in pragmatism from Peirce to Morris (he published a monograph on Morris in 1953). He also recovers the contribution made by Giovanni Vailati, who was among the first in Italy to recognize the importance of Peirce’s pragmatism. Through Peircean pragmatism, Rossi-Landi oriented his work from…
The life of signs and the signs of life
Thomas Sebeok is a major representative of contemporary semiotics who dedicated his entire academic career to weaving his semiotic web, aware from the outset of the interdisciplinary nature of the field. On the belief that wherever there is life there are signs , he extended the scope of the discipline well beyond verbal language and culture. The sign–life relationship is vital for all lifeforms on Earth, human and nonhuman, and demands close att…
Precarity and Insecuritas, between Fear of the Other and Apprehension for the Other
The sense of precarity is specifically human. It accompanies the consciousness that “what is” is in becoming and can stop being. All lifeforms live through signs, but we humans are also endowed with a capacity for metasemiosis. As semiotic animals, we have self-consciousness, feel responsibility, and feel apprehension: we are consciously aware of our subjection to precarity. G. Semerari called it insecuritas, in relation to both self and others. …

Beyond Signs Of Identity As Justification For Conflict
Introduction
Our firm belief is that the broad notion of the text has mainly come about thanks to semiotics. this crucial move by semiotics resulted, among others, in bringing translation studies closer to semiotics. the implications of general sign studies for translation theory and practice have helped translation studies to move away from the verbocentric dogmatism of the sixties and seventies when only systems ruled by double articulation were acknowledge…
Learning and education in the global sign network
The contribution that may come from the general science of signs, semiotics, to the planning and development of education and learning at all levels, from early schooling through to university education and learning should not be neglected. As Umberto Eco claims in the "Introduction" to the Italian edition of his bookSemiotica and Philosophy of Language(1984: xii, my trans.), "[general semiotics] is philosophical in nature, because it does not st…
Semioethics and Literary Writing
In the early phase of its development, semiotics was understood as "semeiotics" and studied symptoms. Today we propose to recover this ancient dimension of semiotics focussed on health, care and the quality of life, and reorganise it in semioethical terms. In fact, as interference increases in communication between the historico-social sphere and the biological, between culture and nature, between the semiosphere and the biosphere, the need for a…
Victoria Welby and the Science of Signs
Victoria Welby (1837–1912) dedicated her research to the relationship between signs and values. She exchanged ideas with important exponents of the language and sign sciences, such as Charles S. Peirce and Charles S. Ogden. She examined themes she believed crucially important both in the use of signs and in reflection on signs. But Welby's research can also be understood in ideal dialogue with authors she could never have met in real life, such a…
The Self as a Sign, The World, and the Other
Ostentation of the Subject is a practice that is asserting itself ever more in today's world. Consequently, criticism by philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists has been to little effect, considering that they are not immune to such practices themselves. The question of subjectivity concerns the close and the distant, the self and the other, the other from self and the other of self. It is thus connected to the question of …

Semiotics and education, semioethic perspectives
Semioethics" is a neologism coined in the early 1980s to highlight the relation between signs and values, identity and otherness. It keeps account of Victoria Welby's concept of "significs" and of Sebeok's "global semiotics" with its critique of glottocentric and anthropocentric tendencies. Together both sources, significs and global semiotics, provide the context for contributions from semioethics to education. Semioethics recovers the ancient v…
Interpretive trajectories in translation semiotics
This paper focuses on the essential connection between sign and translation, which implies thematization of the relation between semiotics and translation theory and practice. A theory of translation cannot prescind from semiotics of translation. Vice versa, sign theory can benefit from contributions from translation theory and practice, whether a question of sign in general (which uniquely subsists in relation to the interpretant that translates…
Charles Morris's biosemiotics
Dans son ouvrage intitule Signs, Language, and Behavior (1946), C. Morris offre une description generale du signe englobant tout ce qui appartient au monde de la vie. Il poursuit cette description en introduisant un appareil terminologique de type biologique permettant de parler des signes des animaux et des hommes. Dans cet article, l'A. presente cette perspective clairement biosemiotique dans laquelle emergent deux spheres principales couvertes…
Meaning, metaphor, and interpretation
Metaphor is founded in the logic of otherness and excess and involves a movement of displacement that leads sense outside the sphere of the same, the commonplace, plain meaning. The processes of metaphorization activate interpretive trajectories in the sign network that may be distant from each other, and favor the migration of sense through interpretive and translative processes among signs. Associations and interconnections are created in the s…
The Semiotic Universe of Abduction
In the philosophical system of Charles Sanders Peirce (as emerges it, for example, from his writings collected in the volume Chance, Love and Logic, edited by M. R. Cohen [Peirce 1923]), ‘chance’, ‘love’ and ‘necessity’ indicate the three modes of development regulating evolution in the cosmos. Below we shall focus on the question of love, or Peirce’s agapasm, which is connected to the problem of abductive inference

For a Critique of Language Studies From the Perspective of Gift Economy
Throughout her writings Genevieve Vaughan addresses important issues in the theory of language and communication, to the ultimate end of affecting social praxis for radical social change. Her hypothesis is that mothering/being-mothered forms a non-essentialist but fundamental core process that has been neglected by the Western view of the world. Most important is that Vaughan thematizes the mothering/being-mothered paradigm in the framework of he…
Modelling, dialogism and the functional cycle
Charles Peirce, Mikhail Bakhtin and Thomas Sebeok all develop original research itineraries around the sign and, despite terminological differences, can be related with reference to the concept of dialogism and modelling. Jakob von Uexküll's biosemiosic "functional cycle", a model for semiosic processes, is also implied in the relation between dialogue and communication. Biological models which describe communication as a self-referential, autopo…
Semiotics as semioethics in the era of global communication
Semiotics has the merit of demonstrating that whatever is human involves signs. Indeed, it implies more than this: viewed from a global semiotic perspective \nwe now know that whatever is simply alive involves signs. And this is as far as cognitive semiotics and global semiotics reach. But semioethics \npushes this awareness even further by relating semiosis to values and by focusing on the question of responsibility, of radical, inescapable resp…
Human responsibility in the universe of global semiotics
Biology and the social sciences, ethology and linguistics, psychology and the health sciences, their internal specializations – from genetics to medical semeiotics (sympomatology), psychoanalysis, gerontology and immunology – all find in Sebeok’s global semiotics the place of encounter and reciprocal exchange, as well as of systematization and unification. However, it is important to note that ‘systematization’ and ‘unification’ are not understoo…
Bioethics, semiotics of life, and global communication
Ethical problems connected with biological and medical discoveries in genetic engineering, neurobiology and pharmaceutical research, reach a unified and critical point of view in bioethics as a specific discipline. But even before reaching this stage, ethical problems already belong to two totalities: the semiobiosphere. and the current social form of global communication. Coherently with its philosophical orientation, bioethics must necessarily …

Interpretation and Iconicity in the Translation Process
Translation is a structural part of modelling devices, the very condition even for creativity, innovation, simulation, ultimately for what with Peirce we may indicate as the "play of musement" in the human world.Iconicity, as amply demonstrated by Peirce, carries out a decisive role in all such processes.Canonical translation is based on the code, convention, authority, authoriality, respect.Contrary to such an orientation, the task of the transl…

Semantics and critique of political economy in Adam Schaff
Adam Schaff (b. March 10, 1913, Lwów — d. November 12, 2006, Warsaw) was a Polish Marxist philosopher with a special interest in philosophy of language and semiotics, in theory of knowledge and political economy. He focused on problems of semantics, theory of ideology, the relation between language and reality, formal logic, and dialectics. But he also showed a great interest in ethics dealing with the problem of the human individual and the rela…
Image and primary iconism
The question of the relation between image and similarity in Peirce is connected with the notion of iconicity and can only find an adequate formulation with reference to the question of primary iconism. The concept of similarity creates some difficulty for the distinction between the ground and the immediate object. In this paper we begin by considering Levinas’s contribution to analysis of the relation between similarity and image, and proceed t…
Sign, dialogue, and alterity
Not only verbal signs, but any situation or semiosis is a relational process that presents different degrees of dialogism. In fact, the sign calls for a response from another sign, that is, the interpretant. Semiosis is an open dialogue among various interpreted and interpretant signs. In this sense, the sign is a dialectic unit of self-identity and otherness. All communication processes are based not only on modeling (Sebeok), but also on dialog…
Sensibility in the era of global communication
This article proposes a phenomenological and semiotic analysis of sensibility in the era of globalization, which is the era of global communication. How are time, space, self, others, life, death, health, illness, work, employment, unemployment, free-time, development, underdevelopment, and so forth, perceived in today's world? As vast as this excursion may seem, these different issues concerning sensibility all bear on the problem of the relatio…

Sign vehicles for semiotic travels
ed as it is from the constitutive dialogism of sign life, gives rise to metaphysical, abstract and monological dialectic. It is odd that in the entry ‘Binarism’ in Encyclopedia of Semiotics, the author should propose Hegelian philosophy as a means of overcoming the theory of binary opposition in LeviStrauss’s structuralism (cf. ES: 81). Bakhtin, in his 1970-71 notebooks, gives a good explanation of how Hegelian monological dialectic is formed, sh…
Modeling, dialogue, and globality
The main approaches to semiotic inquiry today contradict the idea of the individual as a separate and self-sufficient entity. The body of an organism in the micro- and macrocosm is not an isolated biological entity, it does not belong to the individual, it is not a separate and self-sufficient sphere in itself. The body is an organism that lives in relation to other bodies, it is intercorporeal and interdependent. This concept of the body finds c…
