The Phenomenology of Semiosis: Approaches to the Gap between the Encyclopaedia and the Porphyrian Tree Spanned by Sedimentation
When putting semiotics and phenomenology in juxtaposition, the first task necessarily is to find out what a study of meaning, conceiving of itself as an empirical science, has to do with a philosophical school, the business of which it is to secure the epistemological foundations of all the sciences (broadly understood). Our answer, in short (but we will go at some length to show it), is that since all results of phenomenology also count as contr…

Dancing all the way to the stage by way of the stadium: On the Iconicity and Plasticity of Actions
In the sense of phenomenology, actions are special cases of acts of consciousness. Within semiotics, first Jan Mukařovský and then A. J. Greimas have established, in different terms, a distinction between instrumental actions and actions which carry their meaning in themselves. But this is insufficient to account for the variety of actions which comprises everything from the creation of artefacts, dance, sporting events, theatre, rituals, and muc…
Revisiting the life of things: A cognitive semiotic study of the agency of artefacts in Amazonia
Many contemporary scholars have recently defended the idea that the agency of things is symmetrical and equivalent to human agency. We propose an alternative approach to artefacts’ agency based on a field study concerned with contextually situated observations of the process of design of artefacts in Amazonia. By means of participant observation and interviews, we address the role of artefacts in relation to human agency. In so doing, we focus on…
Approximations to the Genuine Dialectics of the Enlightenment: On Husserl’s Europe, “Social Justice Theory”, and the Ethics of Semiosis
Article Approximations to the Genuine Dialectics of the Enlightenment: On Husserl’s Europe, “Social Justice Theory”, and the Ethics of Semiosis was published on September 1, 2021 in the journal Language and Semiotic Studies (volume 7, issue 3)
Translation as culture: The example of pictorial-verbal transposition in Sahagún’s primeros memoriales and codex florentino
Many items of culture which are conveyed from one culture to another may take verbal form, and then constitute what Jakobson called “translation proper.” If such diffusions involve a co-occurrent change of semiotic systems, they are of such a different nature, that we better reserve another term for it: transposition. Whether or not accompanied by transpositions, such as pictures, translational events may play an important part in the encounter b…
Introduction: The Making of Them and Us – Cultural encounters conveyed also through pictorial means
The Making of Them and Us" (MaTUs) was the name of a research project at Lund University which took place between the years 2014 and 2016, involving scholars from the Departments of Cognitive Semiotics and the History of Ideas, as well as the School of Architecture. 1 It was also the title given to a symposium organized by that same project on December 7 and 8, 2016 The aim of the MaTUs project, as well as of the associated symposium, was to stud…
The publication of memory: From the Via Crucis to the terrorist memorial
Göran Sonesson Punctum, 5(2): 11-28, 2019 DOI: 10.18680/hss.2019.0020 Abstract The notion of memory is ambiguous in multiple ways. It can be an event, an act of memory; or it can consist of a structure conserving and organizing a set of facts. In the first case, it may involve the automatic retention of the ‘just evolved’ [...]
Elements of Peircean phenomenology: From categories to signs by way of grounds
It is curious facts that Peirce scholars tends to take the three Peircean categories for granted, whereas Peirce himself claimed they must be derived by means of phenomenology, later rebaptized phaneroscopy. As I have suggested elsewhere, this is the essential difference between Peircean and Husserlean phenomenology, which are in other respects identical, whether or not there is a historical connection. I have tried to show that the meanings of t…
New approaches to plastic language: Prolegomena to a computer-aided approach to pictorial semiotics
In this paper we summarize observations bridging the declared aspirations of pictorial semiotics and its real achievements. Pictorial semiotics is here understood as the general study of pictures as signs and it constituted a fundamental step beyond the art historical captivation with individual images. In the first part of our contribution we present a review of the most important methods that have been proposed as an answer to deal with several…
Greimasean phenomenology and beyond: From isotopy to time consciousness
En dépit des apparences, la véritable rencontre entre la phénoménologie husserlienne et la sémiotique de l'École de Paris n'a pas encore eu lieu. Dans cet article, je suggère qu'en adoptant des idées de la phénoménologie, dont beaucoup ont obtenuune nouvelle actualité grâce aux sciences cognitives contemporaines, on peut retenir la formalité fondamentale de la théorie, sans céder à aucune tendance réductionniste. Après une analyse rapide de la ph…
Human Lifeworlds: The Cognitive Semiotics of Cultural Evolution
This book, which presents a cognitive-semiotic theory of cultural evolution, including that taking place in historical time, analyses various cognitive-semiotic artefacts and abilities. It claims that what makes human beings human is fundamentally the semiotic and cultural skills by means of which they endow their Lifeworld with meaning. The properties that have made human beings special among animals living in the terrestrial biosphere do not de…
Epistemological Prolegomena to the Cognitive Semiotics of Evolution and Development
Rather than being a model, a method, a philosophy, or an intellectual movement, semiotics is best considered a special perspective on the world of our experience, which, in ideal social circumstances, gives rise to a new scientific discipline. Classical semiotics has developed several constructs for exploring the similarities and differences between sundry semiotic resources, such as language, gesture, and pictures. Although the semiotic traditio…

From sign to action: Studies in chimpanzee pictorial competence
Many studies of children and apes realized in psychology address issues that are highly relevant to semiotics, but they often do so indirectly, or they use a terminology that is confusing and/or too vague from a semiotical point of view. The studies reported here, however, follow the paradigm of these psychological studies, but they are couched in an explicit semiotical terminology. They involve three classical semiotical issues: the nature of th…
Aspects of ‘physiognomic depiction’ in pictures: From macchia to microgenesis
“Figurativity”, roughly paraphrased as that which is not accounted for by the system, is a residue concept of both Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and of Greimasean semiotics. In the latter case, however, figurativity has been related to the second, so-called plastic layer of the picture, which is opposed to the pictorial layer, by means of which the picture is doing its job of depicting something in the world. The plastic layer of any p…
The Natural History of Branching: Approaches to the Phenomenology of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness
In the present essay the author sets out to reflect on the notions of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness, pursuing the research beyond what is directly given in Peirce’s writings. For the purpose, Peircean phenomenology is considered to be a special variety of the Husserlian kind, because it restricts possible phenomena to threesomes and also attributes special contents to the three categories. The first restriction means that Peirce’s theory i…
The Foundation of Cognitive Semiotics in the Phenomenology of Signs and Meanings
Cognitive semiotics, recently proposed in different quarters as a new paradigm for the human and the social sciences, aims to wed cognitive science with semiotics. While generalizing the notion of cognition to make it cover most of mental life (as well as, sometimes, many “ subpersonal” aspects), cognitive science has hardly left any specific place to phenomena of meaning. Semiotics, on the other hand, at least in some of its manifestations, thos…
Semiotics of art, life, and thought: Three scenarios for (post)modernity
It is difficult to make sense of the notion of postmodernity, because “modernity” is clearly a shifter, in the sense of Jespersen and Jakobson: a term dependent for its meaning on its moment of enunciation. It is true that, from the Middle Ages onwards, several meanings of modernity have received an objectified reference. But in the arts, particularly in the visual arts, this is not true. Modernity has been defined as the ever-new transgression o…
From mimicry to mime by way of mimesis: Reflections on a general theory of iconicity
Practically all theories of iconicity are denunciations of its subject matter (for example, those of Goodman, Bierman and the early Eco). My own theory of iconicity was developed in order to save a particular kind of iconicity, pictoriality, from such criticism. In this interest, I distinguished pure iconicity, iconic ground, and iconic sign, on one hand, and primary and secondary iconic signs, on the other hand. Since then, however, several thin…
Semiosis and the elusive final interpretant of understanding
While the conceptual history of the sign, as recounted by John Deely in Four ages of understanding, is immensely enlightening, history is never enough. If, before Augustine, it had occurred to no one that such diverse phenomena as are covered by this term had something in common, and if, in the time of Aquinas, Fonseca, and Poinsot, different usages of the term were in competition, the reason is not simply intellectual confusion, but rather that …
The meaning of meaning in biology and cognitive science: A semiotic reconstruction
The present essay aims at integrating different concepts of meaning developed in semiotics, biology, and cognitive science, in a way that permits the formulation of issues involving evolution and development. The concept of sign in semiotics, just like the notion of representation in cognitive science, have either been used too broadly, or outright rejected. My earlier work on the notions of iconicity and pictoriality has forced me to spell out t…
The globalization of ego and alter: An essay in cultural semiotics
Globalization, as it is known to the common man (as opposed to ‘global semiotics’, which is not my concern here) is certainly a meeting of cultures, and as such it is comparable to a number of other enterprises of human history, from imperialism to charter trips. Unlike the latter, however, is undoubtedly first and foremost a stereotype — or, to express it in terms of cultural semiotics, it is a model the members of a culture make of other cultur…

Prolegomena to the semiotic analysis of prehistoric visual displays
Le but de l'auteur est ici de fournir un certain nombre de bases utiles aux archeologues pour l'etude des images prehistoriques. Il presente donc un certain nombre de notions preliminaires a une analyse semiotique de ces images, telles que les pictogrammes ou les petroglyphes, qu'il met en relation avec d'autres signes et types iconiques modernes, et avec les theories de la rhetorique de l'image, de la semiotique, et des symboles

The concept of text in cultural semiotics
In this article, I will be concerned with interpreting a concept — or rather, several concepts masquerading under one single label — of a particular system of interpretation, Semiotics of culture, as introduced by the Tartu school, and later developed by, among others, Roland Posner. Since my goal is, in the last analysis, to understand something about the interpreted domain, rather than about this particular system of interpretation, I will feel…
