The Liminal Microgenesis of the Cultural Cycle in the Sensemaking Process
The paper addresses the complex theme of culture understood as a dynamic, contextual, and relational semiotic process, which develops processuality through recursive cycles of crisis, reconfigurations, stabilizations, and further transitions. Culture is interpreted as a semiotic process of sensemaking that transcends the distinction between nature and culture, grounded in the complementary operations of both modus tollens (the pruning and reducti…

The Role of Affectivity in Pre-Reflective Experience. The Contributions of Neuroscientific, Psychoanalytical and Developmental Perspectives
Sensemaking Process of Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent atypicalities in social communication and social interactions across different domains of life, often with restricted, repetitive, stereotyped patterns of behaviors, interests, and activities. A large corpus of previous research shows that parental involvement in caregiving is perceived as stressful and challenging, in many cases resultin…
The Collective Liminal Tension of Knowledge and the Centrality of the Psyche (Within its Cultural and Semiotic Processuality)
Navigating Cancer
The oncological process involves multiple changes that must be navigated throughout the illness. This study explores how María constructs meaning in her relationship with herself and her environment in response to the ruptures and transitions emerging in the early stages of breast cancer. From the moment of diagnosis, María’s experience shifted from perceiving cancer as an abstract possibility to confronting it as a concrete reality filled with p…

A Psychoanalytic Reflection on Fascism, Populism and the Social Transitional Space of the Democracy
During critical socio‐political conditions of profound uncertainty, social disquietude, frustration, and an inability to creatively imagine future scenarios, regressive and defensive processes of collective nature are acted out to provide an illusory sense of omnipotence, protection, and stability by evacuating psychic pain, anguish, fears, and disorientation. The spread of fascism in the last century and the contemporary forms of populism in Wes…
Psychoanalytic Study on the Xylella fastidiosa Conspiracy Theory
Psychoanalytical praxis based on Jacques Lacan’s knot topology
Searching for meaning through conspiracy theories. Considerations on the state of the art of psychological literature and definition of a research agenda from a semiotic dynamic cultural perspective
Why do conspiracy theories abound in critical times? The purpose of this article is to provide an extensive critical review of research perspectives that focus, in the age of crisis, on the human processes of sensemaking in the creation and diffusion of conspiracy theories. Correlational methods of study are not enough to highlight psychic and collective dynamics. The authors trace some paths through various contributions from different disciplin…
Affective semiosis and perceptual semiosis
Starting from critical points of the research agenda on emotions, this paper aims to present and discuss a dynamic field model of the interaction between affective semiosis and perceptual semiosis. Conceptually, the model is grounded in the epistemological contribution of Ignacio Matte Blanco’s psychoanalytic theory, which formalizes two kinds of logic at the foundation of human experience: asymmetrical (the basis of the activity of conscious rat…
The Crossing of Professionals”
Despite the increasing number of African women seeking refuge in Italy, integration policies have largely remained "gender-neutral." African migrant women face various forms of gender-based violence in their home countries, during their migration journey, and in the host country. In response, the MIA project ( Modeling of Integration and Reception paths for women refugees victims of violence ), an innovative Italian intervention, combines the exp…
Cultural Semiotic Model for Psychotherapy
Beyond the Narrowness of Disciplinary Borders
The psychoanalysis between the dynamic individual unconscious and the cultural unconscious
The interplay between the dynamic individual unconscious and the cultural unconscious is a pivotal theme in Sudhir Kakar's analytical work and novels, particularly within the Indian context. Kakar explores how individual psyche is shaped by cultural narratives, myths, traditions and societal norms, emphasizing the significance of understanding these unconscious influences in psychoanalysis as well. His research delves into the complexities of ide…
Trajectories of the notion of liminality
Liminality is a theoretical and methodological concept which originated within anthropology at beginning of the 20th century through the work of Arnold van Gennep and later Victor Turner. This notion emphasizes the need for a transformative space-time in the human experience and for a temporary suspension of the normative borders that orient it. Through ritualized symbolic forms, the individual can experience an " in-between" condition and questi…
Psychoanalysis in a Semiotic Key. Implications for Psychoanalytic Theory
In this paper, we outline a processual notion of meaning and sensemaking and use this to frame a semiotic reading of some core concepts in psychoanalytic theory and practice. The processual notion is based on the Peircean semiotic theory of the sign, which differs from a classical, static view that there are fixed meanings (unconscious, implicit, or unknown) behind certain signs. We review the implications of the processual notion of meaning for …
Beyond Therapeutic Adherence
Given the psychosocial and economic costs of behaviors of patients who seem not to benefit from the medications, technologies, and medical therapies available for chronic diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, therapeutic adherence has been identified as one of the main focuses in the intervention. This paper presents contributions from semiotic cultural clinical psychology for understanding problems associated with the implementation of medi…
A Four-Wave Cross-Lagged Study of Exposure to Violent Contexts, Cognitive Distortions, and School Bullying during Adolescence
School bullying represents a widespread expression of violence in the peer context. Guided by the social-ecological model, this study investigated the longitudinal and transactional pathways linking domestic and neighborhood/community violence exposure (through direct victimization and witnessing), self-serving cognitive distortions (CDs), and school bullying perpetration. Furthermore, consistent with the previous literature, we tested the cognit…
A bound-less love
Through a gender-sensitive lens, this study explores the psychic and subjective meanings that Ukrainian women living in Southern Italy for economic reasons attribute to their long-distance motherhood and migration experience. Ten Ukrainian women were interviewed in the pre-war period, before 2022, through a semi-structured interview following the principles of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Our findings show that long-distance mo…
The aesthetic and affective matrix of pre-reflective sensemaking at the origins of the relationship between subject and world
The authors discuss the relevance of aesthetic and affective experience at the heart of the human being's capability to relate to the world and to found relations of sense. Faced with anguish that the world can be meaningless and with fear of uncertainty/chaos, trust and hope are needed for the world to be a hospitable place for existence. Such experience is aesthetic, sensitive and affective before being rational, reflective and deliberative. Th…

Remaking time
This paper investigates one aspect of meaning making that occurs in the wake of systemic change. It addresses the question of how time is re-configured by socio-material changes resultant from the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a semiotic perspective, we aim to describe a process of disruption and distress, which leads to a recognition of the oddness of ‘covid-time.’ This is characterised by distressing ‘suspended waiting’, a despairing frozen temp…

Viktor von Weizsäcker’s Gestaltkreis Theory. The Dynamic and Subjective Relationship of Perception and Movement
The Affective Regulation of Uncertainty
This paper presents a novel psychological model of the socio-cognitive management of uncertainty, the semiotic dimensional model (SDM). The SDM claims that uncertainty increases the momentum of affect-laden meanings in meaning-making. This is so because affective meanings provide a simplified interpretation of the world that restores the experience of being able to make sense of the reality destabilized by uncertainty. Moreover, the SDM models th…
From sense to meaning
Purpose Consistent with current literature, which highlights the role of narration as a key tool for exploring the processes by which people construct the meaning of their critical experiences the authors propose a theoretical and methodological model to analyse the narratives of illness and identify any innovative aspects. The generative model of mind presented refers to a semiotic, narrative and socio-constructivist perspective according to whi…

The Idiographic Approach in Psychological Research. The Challenge of Overcoming Old Distinctions Without Risking to Homogenize
The processes of meaning making, starting from the morphogenetic theories of René Thom
Each process of meaning making can be seen as a field of semiotic organization that shows a variety of continuities and discontinuities, rather than as a linear trajectory of accumulated signs, progressively articulated through syntagmatic chains. In this work, we address the idea that the sign is a discontinuous form within a field; it emerges where there are different trajectories of meaning, different epistemic positions, and different subject…
Possible use in psychology of threshold concept in order to study sensemaking processes
Manifold forms of sensemaking processes and their simultaneity pose many questions about their integration and also on their development. Human beings mean their own experience and activity in the world by forms of symbolic meaning but also by several forms of embodied meaning, in an endo-semiotic and exo-semiotic key, such as the construction of artifacts, instruments, monuments, stories, myths. The culture in this perspective is not considered …
Borders and Modal Articulations. Semiotic Constructs of Sensemaking Processes Enabling a Fecund Dialogue Between Cultural Psychology and Clinical Psychology
Modal articulation
Within a semiotic and psychodynamic frame, we present and discuss the psychological construct of modal articulation. By modality, we mean the way a subject organizes the meaning of his/her own experience according to categories of necessity, possibility, opportunity, will, knowledge, permission, and duty. Modality is a relevant topic in some branches of philosophy, logics, linguistics, and semiotics, but there is no systematic discourse about it …

Models of semiotic borders in psychology and their implications
In this article, I discuss some implications deriving from different models of the notion of border, starting from interdisciplinary contributions and in particular from semiotics, psychoanalysis, cultural psychology, and topology. The starting point is a reflection on the notion of sign, as a device used to realize at the same time both a first form of discretization and to instantiate a system of relations with the environment. The article goes…
Patterns of Italian high school and university students’ attitudes towards physics
The purpose of this study was to analyse Italian high school and university students’ attitudes towards physics using the Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT). In the SCPT framework, attitudes represent how individuals interpret their experience through the mediation of generalized meaning with which they are identified. A view-of-physics questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data with 1603 high school and university student…

Use of a semiotic-cultural perspective for identifying patterns in students’ drawings about seasonal changes
In this study, we propose to analyse students’ drawings using the Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT), a socio-cultural psychological model that integrates semiotics with dynamic systems theory. According to the SCPT framework, students-generated drawings can be analysed in terms of generalised meanings, i.e., implicit assumptions about the represented content. We applied SCPT to identify a set of generalised meanings about seasonal cha…
The Relationships between Compulsive Internet Use, Alexithymia, and Dissociation
Internet Gaming Disorder, Internet Addiction, Problematic Internet Use and Compulsive Internet Use cause distress and significant impairment in important areas of a person's functioning, in particular among young people. The literature has indicated that males show higher levels of problematic internet use than females. People can use the internet to avoid or alleviate negative affects; in fact, problematic internet use is associated with alexith…
What Adolescents Have to Say about Problematic Internet Use
In this paper, the study presented is designed to gain a deeper insight into how adolescents describe, understand, and suggest dealing with Problematic Internet Use (PIU). Eight focus groups were activated with a total of 70 students from the 9th and 11th grades (Mean Age = 15.53 ± 1.202; Female = 44.4%) in four different schools in Southern Italy. A Thematic Analysis was applied to the verbatim transcripts, and seven macro-categories were identi…
