Abstract:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University<br>Two influential twentieth-century theorists of religion, Émile Durkheim and Roy Rappaport, analyzed religious communities in terms of distinctive features that emerge under special circumstances from the complex dynamics of ordinary human sociality. Durkheim was deeply impressed by the emergent features of religious sociality, to the point that he interpreted a religious community as expressing the way society - thought of as a system of active forces arising from and operating on the constituent individuals - can become self-aware, thinking and feeling th

Abstract:

This study presents a new theory of semiotics (the study of signs). The theory, called finite semiotics, proposes that the growing effects and challenges of technology, as well as signs themselves, can be better understood by examining our cognition in finite, quantitative terms. Two illustrative applications of the theory are developed. The first addresses the ethical problem of accountability for technology's effects by introducing a new concept of cognitive externalities. The second derives a computational method for automating opposition analysis, a technique central to applied semiotics.

Abstract:

Advertising has long been of interest to semiotic, linguistics and pragmatic theorists including Barthes (1957; 1977), Williamson (1978), Myers (1994), Cook (2001) and Tanaka (1994). Marketing scholars, including Brierley (2002) and Beaseley (in Beaseley & Danesi, 2002) show a reciprocal interest in the potential for semiotics to advance their discipline, but there is no apparent awareness of theories of pragmatics or its relevance to their field. While semiotics offers a tool in understanding how meaning is conveyed through linguistic and non-linguistic signs, pragmatics focuses upon language

Abstract:

This work is a philosophical investigation of signs. It offers a definition of the term ?sign? and develops three different systems for talking precisely about signs and their properties. The system of object display lines is developed in the first chapter; the ostension notation and the box notation are developed in the second chapter; and the contemporary associationist definition of a sign is developed in the third chapter. These systems, in conjunction with the definition, are proffered as a philosophical foundation for the theory of notation. The first chapter of this work develops the di

Den här undersökningen belyser hur makt kan manifesteras i bild. Den utgår från maktteorier, främst postmodern maktanalys enligt Michel Foucault och hans uttolkare. Semiotisk bildanalys används för att belysa maktmanifestationer i ett bildmaterial som huvudsakligen utgörs av fotografier tagna av författaren. Resultatet presenteras i en gestaltning där bilderna visas tillsammans med en analys av varje bild.

Abstract:

The study of gesture offers a promising extension of semiotic theory. Naomi Cumming (2001), Robert Hatten (2004), and David Lidov (2005), and others have laid the foundations for a critical examination of gestures in music. Their work is, however, married to notated scores of the Western art music tradition: a fact that Giles Hooper (2013) regards as an ironic circling back towards music conceived through implicit analytical-structuralist assumptions. In this thesis, I re-evaluate and develop current models of gesture into a theory of gestural transformation. I explore its practical applicatio

In this medium, the research explores thematic patterns of sociopolitical and sociocultural signs which add to the richness of Castro's appeal.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that the scope of metonymy throughout history remains severely reduced to a process of word substitution and the signifying potential of the trope is limited to lexical representation. The study therefore proposes a semiotic approach to take the trope beyond this limitation and to develop a textual theory to the trope. A background study related to how metonymy is treated in previous studies is therefore necessary.

Video games are a challenging object of study for the musicologist because they are never played the same way twice. As video games are interactive texts, the timing of their musical events is dependent on both conventional cues and player interactions. In essence, the musical experience of gameplay may be considered as a text that the player has a non-trivial role in creating. The player’s unique series of actions evolves into an interpretation of the developer’s preconception of the game experience; similarly, the player’s actions shape the music into an interpretation of the musical experie

Abstract:

Initiée par René Girard, la théorie mimétique suggère que l’égalité des conditions consacrée comme un droit exacerbe la rivalité entre semblables. Quand l’étiolement de la souveraineté étatique et la logique compétitive de l’économie marchande coïncident avec la prolifération de conflits aux enjeux planétaires, cette rivalité des égaux prend une valeur paradigmatique. L’ambition d’une anthropologie mimétique à traiter de l’époque contemporaine mieux que la philosophie politique idéaliste ou la science politique réaliste suppose une reformulation. Espérance de pallier une insuffisance d’être, l

Abstract:

This dissertation offers an analysis of the notion and meaning of the body and different kind of aspects of corporeality in French structuralist theories, more specifically, in the later works (dating from the ‘70s) by two immensely influential authors of the second half of the twentieth century, Roland Barthes (1915–1980) and Algirdas Julius Greimas (1917–1992), whose legacy had an profound impact on literary studies. Despite differences in the approach applied by Barthes and Greimas in their research of the body within the systems of, respectively, semiology and postsemiology and semiotics,

Abstract:

The amount of data accumulated by organizations have grown significantly during the last couple of years, increasing the importance of data quality. Ensuring data quality for large amounts of data is a complicated task, but crucial to subsequent analysis. This study investigates how to maintain and improve data quality in a data warehouse. A case study of the errors in a data warehouse was conducted at the Swedish company Kaplan, and resulted in guiding principles on how to improve the data quality. The investigation was done by manually comparing data from the source systems to the data integ

Abstract:

During the last decade, the Swedish Armed Forces have been struggling to achieve recruitment goals and to retain military personnel. To attract more people to join the agency, and to increase the knowledge about the agency’s role and function in society, the Swedish Armed Forces continuously run campaigns. Furthermore, the Swedish Armed Forces is a government agency with a mission that is determined by the Swedish government through government decisions. It can therefore be argued that it is important that the campaigns portray the agency’s mission in a correct and truthful way. The purpose of

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to illuminate which role theories of music education can have in the dialectic between discourse and competence in the practice of music pedagogy. The thesis stems from a problem-oriented project that resulted in the formulation of the following research question: how can the connection between music education theory and the power of definition be described and problematized from a cultural-historical perspective using Vygotsky's thesis of Semiotic Thinking? In his research on the dual function of language Vygotsky makes a distinction between the usage of concepts and

Abstract:

I develop a theory of learning grounded in Charles Peirce’s semiotics. This endeavour comes in the context of the iconic (phenomenological) turn in semiotics, which resulted in a Peircean renaissance, and of the growing semiotic trend in education. Peirce’s semiotics offers insights into the phenomenon of learning and contains an implicit philosophy of education. The application of Peirce’s phenomenological categories to education reveals the semiosic character of education. Learning, education, and research constitute a triad, having the structure of a sign (phenomenon of signification). As s

Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera två för Sverige betydelsefulla kulturpolitiska styrdokument, för att analysera hur relationen mellan kultur och ekonomi gestaltas i respektive diskurs. Genom att jämföra 1970-talets med det tidiga 2000-talets kulturpolitik, med de kulturella och ekonomiska begreppens historiska utveckling från senmedeltiden och framåt, förklaras det spända förhållandet mellan kultur och ekonomi. De idéer och teorier som utgör grunden för de kulturpolitiska diskurserna kommer att analyseras genom att använda den hermeneutiska metoden, innehållsanalys och semiotisk disku

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to find out how the war in Afghanistan is framed both in national and international context. This was conducted by comparing the national tv channel TOLOnews from Afghanistan with the international tv channel SVT Nyheter from Sweden. A qualitative text analysis as well as a semiotic photo analysis were implemented on four news articles and two photos from each channel respectively. Framing theory, agenda setting, and news values provided the theoretical background to be able to carry out the study. The significant findings of the study show that SVT Nyheter uses vario
