A semiotics of freedom
Peirce’s speculative rhetoric, namely, methodeutic, culminates in the reconciliation of theory and practice, which is regarded as his pragmatism. In this context, for him, pragmatism is the logic of abduction, emphasizing experience as semiotic process from perception to conception as a method of right thinking. Based on Peirce’s idea of abduction for pragmatic meaning-making, this paper concerns Peirce’s esthetics of freedom in terms of dialogic…
Semiotics of Naming
This paper aims to explore human beings as language animals, examining how language shapes them in the lifeworld. Biosemiotics and anthroposemiotics are both geared toward studying the relations between life and the environment. This paper thus concerns the semiotics of naming, exploring naming as meaning-making activity based on the interrelation of language and narrative. There are two ways of looking at the language functions in the act of nam…
Writing and Imagination in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
This paper aims to look into possibilities of future writing in the age of artificial intelligence. ‘Who writes’ matters in a technological culture of co-existence of humans and machines. I thus investigate the aligned questions of ‘why we write’ and ‘how we write’, exploring writing with imagination, namely, narrative writing, for communication and transmission. As for methodology, I examine three domains of narrative with imagination based on P…
The role of sentiment, aesthetic behavior, and narrative semiosis in the identification of selfhood from Peirce’s semiotic perspective
By means of Peirce’s categorial method, this paper explores the selfhood identified in sign activity from two dimensions of semiotic agency: the practical and the theoretical. The paper considers the intelligibility of aesthetic value co-existing with Thirdness and the ethical implications of narrativity in selfhood. Peirce’s phenomenological category of Firstness, as a poetics of possibility, interplays with Secondness, of actuality, in the expe…
Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among participants of the national LTBI screening program in South Korea – A problem of low coverage rate with current LTBI strategy
Background: The Government of South Korea launched a national preemptive latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening program in 2016, including more than 1. 6 million population in congregate settings. The objective of this study was to analyze LTBI prevalence and its risk factors in each setting. Additionally, the proportion of LTBI pool covered by the current national LTBI strategy was investigated. Methods: Database for results of interfero…
Narrative modeling and its implications for cultural practices
Paul Cobley stated that the semiotics of narrative should not be conflated with narratology. This statement becomes a starting point for an inquiry into the semiotics of narrative by looking at the concept of narrative signs and its future as a new theory of narrative. Narrative signs embedding semiotic processes convey the meaning of narrative in the areas of the prelinguistic, the linguistic, and the extralinguistic by way of signs, models, and…
Narrative modeling and cultural literacy in the storyworld
Following Per Aage Brandt’s “Towards a cognitive semiotics” (2011), culture as a cognitive-semiotic model allows us to look into the interrelation of cognition and signs through the act of interpretation of culture. Thus, culture characterized as habits of feeling, attention, thought, and action plays a role of modeling in the lifeworld. Regarding cultural evolution, culture also has a feature of practice of habit-taking for transformation throug…
Relationship between Bone Mineral Density and Dental Caries in Koreans by Sex and Menopausal State
We aimed to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density and dental caries in adults of over 19 years of age who were categorized according to their sex and menopausal status. The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) dataset was used for the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) and oral health examination data were collected between 2008 and 2011. A total of 17,141 adults of ≥19 years old were eligible for in…
The dialogical semiosis of self-narrative in Burning
The first-person access to the self has been widely recognized by philosophers. But a competing idea arises, challenging the first-person givenness, from those who argue that self-interpretation and self-knowledge are acquired through the third-person perspective. I argue that these two dichotomous perspectives of the self can be mediated by the second-person perspective through dialogical semiosis of narrative. Peirce’s semiotic perspective on t…
Collateral Experience and Semiotic Reading of Cinema Image from Peirce's Semiotic Perspective
Peirce's diagrammatic reasoning and the cinema
This article aims to examine the relationship between image and narrative by means of Peirce's first trichotomy of qualisign-sinsign-legisign or, for the purposes of the current argument, image-diagram-metaphor. It is argued that narrative, as an extended metaphor, can be examined in three modes: in the image; schematically, in the imagination; and allegorically or in a thought experiment, through hypothetic interpretation. The article outlines t…
Factors Associated with General Health Screening Participation among Married Immigrant Women in Korea
Background : The number of married female immigrants living in Korea has been increasing and is expected to increase further. This study was performed to identify factors associated with national general health screening participation among married immigrant women living in South Korea. Methods : The Korean National Health Insurance System's (NHIS) customized database for the years 2014 and 2015 was used. The targets of this study were women aged…
A dialogical semiosis of traveling narratives for self-interpretation
This paper proposes the idea of “activity-semiotics,” which is characterized by three modes of semiosis, namely, representation, indication, and interpretation, based on dialogical interaction. This activity-semiotics or thought-activity as metasemiosis emphasizes the power of interpretation with a processual-functional approach through a discussion of sign and meaning. In this regard, the dialogical processes involve three interpretants in each …
A semiotics of creativity and a poetic metaphor
This paper aims to examine the status and ontology of expression level of sign to propose the concept of creativity in connection with Peirce’s theory of symbol and particularly symbolization. I argue that the process of symbolization has a certain directionality from the ontological to the substantial domain of sign. Thus, the internal world of concept is connected to the external world of things. In other words, a symbol as a cultural code with…
Dialogical sign and symbolic mediation
This paper aims to look at the dialogical character of sign in Peirce, particularly with an emotional-volitional aspect of action-sign to discern how human subjects act and control themselves by virtue of symbolic mediation, representing the dialogic relation of sign. I thus examine the concept of the Peircean symbol as Thirdness, a mediator, and a genuine sign on three levels: expression, representation, interpretation. First, symbol expresses a…
The rhetoric of love and self-narrativesin the cinema image
This paper aims to examine processes of self-interpretation by virtue of a psychological tool of love as communication medium. Within the Peircean semiotic perspective, the concept of love is seen as feeling-ideas, action, and a law in three stages, which are accompanied by those of the self, corresponding to the innovative, the critical, and the expressive. Based on the presupposition of the relation between love and the self, self-controlled ac…
The semiotics of emotion and narrative therapy in the case of Montaigne
This paper investigates a writing activity for therapeutic effect by means of self-regulation through which emotion and thinking are welded to discover the self and other. This activity is undertaken with a Peircean semiotic approach. Accordingly, a feeling of emotion as a material quality of thought-sign is observed as to how it develops into higher psychological processes by virtue of object of thinking, friendship, and love, as external stimul…
Narrative cognition and modeling in new media communication from Peirce's semiotic perspective
This paper examines narrative form as a cognitive tool for logical thinking in the performance of advanced mental actions through interpreting activity. In particular, the observation of the feature of the triadic relation in Peirce's semiotic system in narrative categorical elements is a key factor in seeing how consciousness operates. Under this aspect, it is possible to see that two different entities of emotion and cognition come together for…
Application of Peircean symbol to symbol-mediated dialogic interpreting activity
This paper is dedicated to the potentiality of symbol-mediated interpreting activity where application of Peircean symbol as mediator and interpretant is elaborated for the purpose of examining a subject's thought-activity in a triadic semiotic system. A functional approach to symbols with a pragmatic attitude is a prerequisite to seeing how semiotic structure and mind are interrelated. In so doing, three layers of investigation proceed: symbol's…
Symbols in dialogical structure of semiotics
This article examines how a semiotic model can show symbolic mediation between sign-event and life-event through symbol-mediated interpreting activity, introduces the Vygotskyan concept of symbol, and thus contributes to overcoming the demarcation between dyadic and triadic conception of symbol Three types of semiotic model are introduced: a representational semiotics, an indicative semiotics, and an activity-semiotics. The three systems are corr…
