Filming the Notes
Practices of composing and producing a song bear similarities with filmmaking, particularly the stages of development, mise-en-scène and montage. This particular topic, when approached at scholarly level, becomes suddenly superficial. Not that it is scarcely analyzed, but even authors themselves tend to take for granted that a song shares some representation strategies with an audiovisual text. Musicologists can elaborate on these concepts, but t…
A strophe, a chorus, and a bridge walk into a bar
Building up on Paul Cobley’s work on narrativity in film and literature, the present article aims at exploring how pop songs convey narrative elements via their own structure (or “format,” as it shall be called here), and their single components (intro, outro, bridge, refrain, etc.). Some of the most recurrent formats (particularly Strophe–Refrain and Chorus–Bridge) as well as some of the most unusual ones (e.g. the suite) are discussed within th…
Ethology of the Freed Animal. Concept, Paradigm and Implementations to the Moral Status of Non-Human Animals
The essay focuses on the methodological and theoretical premises of an emerging research area with both ethological and (bio)ethical implications: the ethology of the freed animal (EFA). Unlike existing ethological fields, EFA does not focus on the observation of nonhuman (NH) animals in a natural condition of freedom, nor on situations of captivity. Rather, EFA consists of a comparative study of NH animals that are removed from a condition of ca…
El cuerpo de los animales no-humanos como metáfora audiovisual de los con ictos culturales e identidades
En las artes audiovisuales, la presencia de cuerpos de animales no humanos (ANH) es frecuente, ya que ayuda a resaltar la humanidad y la naturaleza humana. Las ANH y su corporeidad se manifiestan en el arte audiovisual no tanto como ellos mismos, sino más bien como símbolos humanos, proyecciones, estereotipos, alegorías, tabúes, mitos y supersticiones. Después de discutir tales representaciones e ideas en general, proporcionando algunas ideas teó…
Creativity and Visuality of Closed Spaces
The article seeks to discuss a particular stylistic tendency, within audiovisuality, to contextualize narration and themes within closed (and often small) places – a tendency which has been given the name of claustrophilia. While particularly suitable to genres like horrors and thrillers, where the closed space often takes sinister and threatening connotations, claustrophilia may also appear in a more positive light, as a metaphor of shelter and …
Audiovisuality and the City of Marseille, France
The Wicked City (director Peter Mak, 1992), House on the Waterfront (director Edmond T. Gréville, 1955), The French Connection (director William Friedkin, 1971), the obvious Borsalino (director Jacques Deray, 1970)... up to the recent Netflix series Marseille (creator Dan Franck, 2016–2018): when browsing the titles of the most important audiovisual representations of Marseille, one immediately notices how this city seems to (be made to) communic…

A Critical Companion to Zoosemiotics
Four Ages of underrating
The present article focuses on the most significant instances of intrinsically semiotic philosophical reflections about animal cognition and communication. It ideally acts as a small complement to the massive treatise on anthroposemiotics provided by Four ages of understanding, and indeed deals only (if only is the word) with those scholars and thinkers mentioned in John Deely's work, selecting among them those, like Hume, Locke, and others, who …
A Critical Companion to Zoosemiotics
Anthropocentrism as a social phenomenon
How thick is the line that separates a huge, decorated-yet-intact boar served in a fancy restaurant, and an anonymous plastic-packaged cut-in-pieces chicken breast in a supermarket? They might look like two aesthetically and culturally opposite extremes in one sense; and like two forms of perception and display of one single thing, the product animal, on the other. What, if any, are the common denominators between these two (and of course many ot…
The musical circle
The purpose of the present article is to illustrate the crucial role played by the Umwelt theory in zoomusicological (and, more generally, zoosemiotic) studies. Too much, in fact too little, has been written on the relationship between non-human animals and music. Most of these writings do not explicitly aim at contributing to the actual problem (a good example being the reflections on birdsong contained in John Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Und…

Methodologies and problems in zoomusicology
The article sketches an introductory outline of zoomusicology as a discipline closely related to zoosemiotics, focusing on the existing results and formulating few further problems. The analysis addresses the limitations and potentials of zoomusicological research, problematic topics, a basic framework of possible methodologies, and an attempt to situate the discipline in relation to other fields, ethnomusicology in particular
