Lithosemiotics
This article introduces lithosemiotics, a new theoretical framework that extends semiotic inquiry to the mineralogical domain, challenging the traditional biosemiotic assumption that semiosis is confined to living systems. Lithosemiotics posits that minerals, through their structural properties and interactions, participate in semiosic processes by encoding and transmitting information about their formation, environmental conditions, and geologic…
For a semiotic of opacity
This article critically examines AI-driven projects that aim to translate animal communication (e.g., CETI, NatureLM, ISPA), highlighting their reliance on reductive linguistic and computational models. Drawing on biosemiotic theory, especially the concepts of Umwelt , semiotic freedom, and biotranslation, I argue that these approaches misrepresent animal semiosis by treating it as codifiable and referential, ignoring its embodied, affective, and…
Plasticumwelt and umwelt diffraction
The article explores the intricate relationship between plastic materials, semiotics and ecology, offering a novel perspective on the concept of umwelt in the context of pervasive plastic pollution. Drawing on semiotic, ecosemiotic and neo-materialist theories, it examines how plastic has become a ubiquitous presence in ecosystems, profoundly shaping the subjective worlds of organisms. The paper presents a theoretical analogy between the world of…
The circulation of meaning
The research field of contemporary biosemiotics is heir to the thought of Jakob von Uexküll, who focused on investigating the subjective world of animals. The Estonian biologist’s theory showed how sense-motor organisms' perceptual and operational worlds are expressed in coordination based on signification. The umwelt comprises the interwoven relationship between organisms' operational and perceptual marks. In this sense, the ‘functional circle’ …
