Full textAbstract:
In this paper author presents an interdisciplinary interaction betweeen semiotics and chronotopy. The paper refers to the great cities of Renaissance and the Russian cities like Saint Petersburg. As M. M. Bakhtin formulated, "genre is cultural memory". According to the author, the structural and spatiotemporal memory lies in the core not only of artistic works, but of urban structurestoo.As an instruments of structural and semiotic analysis of city, the terms of chronotope and chronotopy were coined. The followers of M. M. Bakhtin, the structuralists and the semeiologists of the Yu. M. Lotman Semiotic School now agree on this point. In 1990s, one of the founders of Russian semiotics, Yu. M. Lotman came to the conclusion that new spatiotemporal modes can crystallize and spiritually develop citizens. This concept formed the basis of the first part of the paper. The second part considers practical opportunities of semiotics and urban chronotopy in dialogue with students during classes on such humanities subjects as philosophy, global art culture, aestetics e.t.c. According to the author, urban chronotope and urban semiotics are different and complementary instruments of scientific comprehension and development of cities.

The urban space unites two parallel dimensions in its substance - the inner human one and the real physical one. While interpreting this thesis, we proceed from the semiotic perspective via an analysis of the source of the town's semiotics by approaches which allow creation of a global basis of pertinence in the comprehension of the urban space as a context which unites reality and ideas. In that way, searching for their place and function in the system of symbols, that is, determining the elements which make the semiotic structure of the town and influence man's perception of material environment is the main task of this paper. The analysis has shown that the presence of urban signs leaves its spatial imprint on the authentic identity of the physical structure, but that there are also contemplative elements which found the notion of town. What we are talking about here are the lifestyle, culture, tradition, social relations, politics, ideology, technical praxis, technological achievements, economic trends, social practices. It is precisely the synergy impacts of these elements and geometric appearances of the physical structure that, as we have concluded, make the semiotic structure of the urban space. Man perceives this synergy by means of strength of his own being, while articulations of the functional spaces and signs of the town's architecture, each of them marked by their inner energy, enable him to reassert himself as a spiritual being. We are convinced that the approach to the reflections about the urban space semiotics that has been shown in this paper, can make a contribution to the understanding of the general urban experience, as well as a contribution to the general theory of urban design.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the study of the semiotic opportunities of the urban space as a learning tool. The authors analyze the literature on urban research and point to the significant interest of the education system in various manifestations of urban life: architectural, design, environmental, adaptational, etc. The notion of “city” in numerous studies usually means an environment full of different natural objects and structures. The latter should include houses, sculptural and architectural monuments, specially organized urban space, for example, the city center and its peripheral area marked with certain signs. Researchers insist that a city is a complex semiotic space in which a citizen lives and navigates. Various types of signs are actively involved in the organization of urban life (Ch. Peirce). Thus, iconic signs make it easy to navigate the city without resorting to decoding symbolic signs, i.e. without reading the signs and names of, for example, stores: a boot hanging next to the signboard allows one to determine that the citizen is in front of a shoe store. A child navigates such signs easily, however, participating in orienting activities on par with adults. The purpose of this article is to consider the city learning opportunities for helping young children to form the semiotic activity which is included in various types of educational activities. The novelty of the research presented in the article is confirmed by the lack of scientific publications that directly consider the educational opportunities of urban space semiotics. The main research method is the code reconstruction method. The figure of a child plays an important role in the study. The child acts as the central subject of perception of the city-textbook. Following the idea of the most prominent researchers of semiotics, the authors regard the city as a text for a child to read. The analytical part of the article is based on recording children’s impressions of the urban text.

Space, in the environmental sense, holds a rather marginal position in semiotics. We shall try, however, to show in this paper that its importance is greater than thought previously, not only because it may establish one of the main sub-fields of semiotic research, but also because it has repercussions on other semiotic systems and even semiotic theory as such. We start by reviewing the main positions of the Theses of the Tartu-Moscow School and compare them to Lotman’s concept of the semiosphere. We conclude that a sociologically sound framework for culture is missing and try to demonstrate that culture is not the only factor composing a society, but there also exists a concept of a material, extra-semiotic society. This framework is systematically developed in relation to geographical space in our second section. We examine the place of space in semiotics according to two different axes of analysis. Th e first axis, discussed in our third section, corresponds to the semiotics of (geographical) space. We approach this field from two different perspectives. The first perspective is the direct study of urban space as a text, that is, it is focused on space-as-text. Three case studies are discussed, all drawn from pre-capitalist societies: the semiotic urban model in ancient Greece, the Ethiopian military camp and the spatial organization of the traditional Libyan oases. To the second perspective corresponds the semiotic study of the geographical spaces constructed by literary texts, that is, space-in-text. Here, we discuss two case studies: the ideal Platonic city and the medieval Arthurian courtly romances. These analyses are followed by an overview of the semiotics of space in pre-capitalist societies, to which we compare Lotman’s views.The second axis, discussed in our fourth section, concerns the importance of space for semiotic theory. We show that space can serve as a tool for the analysis of texts from other semiotic systems and focus on the use of space by different spatial metalanguages.

Full textAbstract:
Literary texts can be considered as the most attractive research material for analyzing the key features of both the semiotics of the city as a whole and the semiotics of individual cities, to which many works of art are devoted. The urban space of Modernity as a result of the processes of powerful semiotization can be considered as both textual and intertextual. The intertextuality of Modern urban spaces presupposes sets of “floating” topological signifiers corresponding to similar sets of “floating” topological signs. In the traditional semiotics of the city, the existence of two realities is assumed — the “real” reality and the “semiotic” reality, between which clear logical correspondences and/or relations can be observed and analyzed. The appearance of non-classical/post-classical urban narratives focused on the problems of dis-communication at the beginning of the 20th century became one of the important signs of the primary formation of the post-city and post-urbanism phenomena. The post-city is not a text and can not be regarded as a text; at the same time, it can generate separate texts that are not related to each other in any way. Post-urban texts, which are the communicative results of specific co-spatialities, remain local “flashes” that do not form a single text or meta-text (super-text). Hetero-textuality is a phenomenon of post-urban reality, which is characterized by the coexistence, as a rule, of texts that do not correlate with each other, relating to certain stable urban loci. Trans-semiotics in general context is understood as the study of any texts that involve the creation of sign-symbolic breaks or “gaps” with any other potentially possible correlating texts in the process of signification. Trans-semiotics of post-cities are studies of (literary) texts that involve the creation of sign-symbolic breaks or “gaps” with any other potentially possible correlating texts related to a particular urban locus in the process of signifying any urban loci. The post-city heterostructuality can be considered as the co-spatiality of mutually exclusive texts corresponding to “non-seeing” post-city loci. Post-urban trans-semiotics in the course of their development form a kind of “dark zones” that reject or neutralize any attempt at any semiotic interpretation.

В статье предложен дискурс определения понятия «древний город», введено авторское значение понятия «семиотическое пространство древнего города», рассмотрены семиокоды города как элементы урбосферы. В исследовании применены историко-культурный, визуально-семиотический методы, обоснован системно-семиотический подход изучения древнего города, связанный с пониманием трех элементов урбосферы: концепта (историческое значение древнего города), структуры (социальная жизнь горожан) и субстрата (физическое и ментальное пространство — городской ландшафт). Основу данной публикации составил анализ субстратных значений древнего города как ресурса его развития, основанный на изучении семиотических пространств городов Вологодской области. Выявлено, что историческая память города, его материальный и ментальный ландшафт и уникальный визуальный образ являются ключевыми семиокодами древних поселений, на основе которых возможно эффективное конструирование социокультурного развития любого региона страны. Автор предлагает перспективные направления работы с пространством старинных городов России на примере внимания к семиотическому пространству городов Вологодской области, способствующие активному социокультурному развитию их территорий. The article defines the concept of “ancient urban areas” and comments on the author’s perception of spatial semiotics of ancient settlements. It also treats urban semiotic conventions as elements of urban space. The research employs historical-cultural, visual-semiotic and systemic-semiotic approaches in order to investigate such elements of urban space as concepts (history of ancient urban areas), structures (urban dwellers’ social life), and substrates (physical and mental space, urban landscape). The article analyzes the substrate of ancient settlements as a resource for sociocultural development based on the investigation of spatial semiotics of urban areas of the Vologda Region. The article maintains that the historical memory of an urban area, its material and mental landscape, its unique visual image are key semiotic conventions which may be used to efficiently promote sociocultural development of a region. The author speaks about some promising avenues for processing the spatial semiotics of ancient Russian settlements promoting their sociocultural development.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problem of visuality in the context of space from the point of view of visual semiotics. The choice of the problem determined the methodology, which is based on a semiotic approach. Visual semiotics uses induction as the main tool: analyzing individual elements of space, i.e. signs, it moves to the generalization of the results at the level of semiotics as a whole. The author believes that visual images captured in various architectural structures play an important role in shaping the social structure, the space of everyday communication, and the interaction practices of observing subjects. The purpose of the article is to characterize the basic principles of visual semiotics which reflect the theoretical understanding of urban architecture as a sign system. It is established that the main theoretical principles of visual semiotics in relation to space consist in the following provisions: first, visual artifacts which flood the city space are facts of communication, since they have a linguistic orientation and are perceived as signs. Secondly, the main property for a visual message is capacity – in a short period of time, the subject is able to perceive a much larger amount of information than from the text. And third, it is established that reading and generating new interpretations of urban space occur through everyday practices, during which the surrounding visual space is appropriated and personalized.

Full textAbstract:
In line with cognitive semiotics, this paper suggests a synthetic account of the important but controversial notion of narrative (in street art, and more generally): one that distinguishes between three levels: (a) narration, (b) underlying story, and (c) frame-setting. The narrative potential of street art has not yet been considerably studied in order to offer insights into how underlying stories may be reconstructed from the audience and how different semiotic systems contribute to this. The analysis is mainly based on three contemporary street artworks and two political cartoons from the 1940s, involving the same frame-setting, which may be labeled as “Greece vs. Powerful Enemy.” The study is built on fieldwork research that was carried out during several periods in central Athens since 2014. The qualitative analyses with the help of insights from phenomenology show that single static images do not narrate stories themselves (primary narrativity), but rather presuppose such stories, which they can prompt or trigger (secondary narrativity). Notably, the significance of sedimented socio-cultural experience, collective memory and contextual knowledge that the audience must recruit in order to reconstruct the narrative potential through the process of secondary narrativity is stressed.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the semiotic field of the city and its influence on the formation of a specific socio-cultural space. The author considers the city as a historically and culturally developed space, continuously producing cultural information. According to the author, urban space is a special subject-object environment, where an individual, a citizen, is in the role of an actively cognizing subject, and the city is in the status of an object, on the one hand, passively cognizable, on the other hand, actively giving itself to identify, reveal with the help of specific techniques, called us semantic-semiological practices. Semiotic meanings of urban space appear before us in the form of a cultural code that a person is able to read.

Urban Voodoo mimics semiotic phenomena, which constitute language and functions as a system of signs that intra-act ambiguously within their own system. This project explores the link between the ambiguous signs of the worm, what looks like a mimesis of icons/symbols, and the way in which simulations are caught up in semiotic implications. Urban Voodoo, which followed on from my earlier Project Iroiro, developed language precursors from the study of the marks of the worm, creating different patterns and styles, and generating language-like effects. Using this system of signs, my project explores the idea that humans are part of a system operated by language, and examines the notion that language itself may be disrupted. To explore this, my project is about layers of competing imprints, about 'languages' tagged into spaces occupied by several graffiti artists within a local skate park. Urban Voodoo acts as a new Graffiti system. In mimicry, organisms make themselves resemble others or their environment. Icons 'look like' what they represent; simulation proposes 'to be' what it suggests. These concepts of assimilation and representation will be explored to understand and interrogate the power balance of language systems, starting with a specific local situation, the skate park. Latin; Inter" denotes "among" or "between," so "between symbols" or "among symbols" is a reasonable meaning. "Intra" denotes "within," as "intra muros," meaning "within the walls.".

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech (Graphic Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.In the South African advertising industry, blame is often cast on the designer for a failed campaign. However, human interactions are multi-faceted and deserve further exploration, particularly if the designer is expected to be socially responsible. If this is the case, one has to consider society as a whole if potentially life-saving or socially transformative advertising campaigns are going to be impactful. This study focuses on a specific public awareness campaign related to HIV/Aids education, the loveLife campaign, and how its billboards were interpreted. This study employs a qualitative research design and semiotic analysis with student participants from schools in Cape Town, South Africa, to investigate how the target audience understands and interprets campaign billboards.

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDThis study explores Mobility, Identity and Localization of Language in Multilingual Contexts of Urban Lusaka. By examining data from different sites of language practices of Lusaka urbanites, that include, casual and formal conversations, Zambian popular music, computer mediated discourses and advertisements; the study shows how interlocutors creatively draw on their extended communicative repertoire to make meaning, transform social structures/roles and stylize modern identities. Accordingly, the study consolidates the recent sociolinguistic theoretical position that views language as social practice and privileges speakers as social actors in shaping and recreating language. In this regard, the study foregrounds language as localized social practice and argues against the idea that language is homogenous and a bounded system. In doing so, the study adds to recent sociolinguistic theorizing calling for a paradigm shift to language studies. Therefore, the main research question that the study addresses, relates to how Lusaka urban dwellers achieve their mediated agency, voice and actorhood through linguistic choices during interactions in various social contexts of modern Lusaka. In turn, the question relates to how urbanites use language as localized social practice to maintain, transform and reproduce social structures/roles and identities in modern Lusaka. Owing to the type of data the study collected, a multifaceted methodological and analytical approach was employed for both data collection and analysis. Informed by a descriptive research design, the study used focus group discussions and individual key-informant interviews to collect data from casual and formal conversations. Data from Zambian popular music were purposively sampled from Youtube.com and music CDs. In addition, group/individual interviews with musicians were conducted in order to supplement data collected from music CDs and video sources. Data from online discourses were collected from the Facebook platform and from two Zambian based online news blogs, while data from print advertisements were collected through the capturing of images on billboards around Lusaka city as well as advertisements from newspapers and internet sites. Television and radio advertisements were recorded from the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation TV and radio channels. All the data collected from these sources were generally analyzed using Conversational Analysis, Facework Negotiation Theory, Multimodal Discourse Analysis and its cognate analytical tools such as Resemiotisation, Semiotic Remediation, Intertextuality, Multivocality and Dialogism. The study shows that message consumption is not a function of isolated semiotic resource but a combination of semiotic material drawn from semiotics that people are familiar with. The study thus argues that social meaning is steeped into social and cultural experiences of the speakers and that any study of language practices in such contexts should take into account the multifaceted nature of human communication. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that given the advancements in communication technology and mobility of semiotic resources across modes which have largely contributed to a reconceptualization of the nature of human language, any study of language in social contexts ought to account for other meaning making semiosis in both methodological and approaches to data collection and analysis, respectively. The study further shows how interactants in late modern settings of Lusaka stylize their multiple identities by dissolving the traditional linguistic boundaries through use of the extended linguistic repertoire. In this vein, the study demonstrates that social identity is a dynamic aspect of social life which is actively negotiated and performed through speakers' linguistic choices. In this respect, the study finds that speakers simultaneously stylize translocal hybrid identities which include urban versus rural, modern versus traditional, African versus Christian (Western fused) as well as gendered ones, through their use of different linguistic choices. Furthermore, the study finds that language borders and domains of language use are permeable. In this regard, the study demonstrates how Lusaka urban speakers use localized language forms to colonize the formal spaces thereby challenging the dominant ideologies about language as a fixed, impermeable and a bounded system. In the process of colonizing formal spaces using localized language forms, the study shows how speakers perform acts of humour, role play, face saving, identity and meaning enhancement. In turn these localized repertoires are drawn upon as resources to accomplish different tasks which would not be accomplished if only a 'single' language were to be used. In this regard, the study views language as a resource that transcends the role of meaning making. In addition, the study shows how, through the use of localized repertoires in formal spaces, speakers transform traditions and modernity into a hybrid space which identifies them as having multiple identities. This demonstrates that speakers in such modern settings use language as a resource to accomplish several things at once. It also highlights speakers’ agency in recreating language as well as transforming their social spaces. The findings of the study entail contributions to recent arguments on language that view it not as an autonomous system but rather as embedded in people’s social interactions. It demonstrates that languages have no clear-cut borders.The study also contributes to methodological and analytical approaches to the study of language in recent times. In addition, the study adds new knowledge to our understanding of identity as a performative act which is actively negotiated for as people interact in different social contexts. This implies that identity is not a fixed thing as traditionally conceived. Ultimately, the study calls for a rethinking of our conception of language and identity considering modernity practices.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MAThis study explores the linguistic landscape of Metrorail in the Western Cape, South Africa. The Western Cape is a diverse, multicultural society with a history of colonialism and imperialism. For this reason, the language/s on signage was explored to reveal differences/similarities between the various groups and cultures within society.This kind of investigation entailed consideration of the signage displayed on trains,stations and other railway infrastructure. Thus, data was collected over a three-month period during 2010 which coincided with the FIFA Soccer World Cup, hosted by South Africa. A combined quantitative and qualitative approach for the analysis of data was supplemented with a multimodal, multi-semiotic approach. In addition, interviews were conducted of a cross-section of commuters as a way to give meaning to the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data. The analysis explored the extent to which multilingualism and multiculturalism are reflected in the linguistic landscape of Metrorail.The focus of the study was on the degree of visibility of the official and non-official languages on signage, as faced by Metrorail commuters. The findings of the study reveal that the interplay between power relations, prestige, symbolic value, identity and vitality in the linguistic landscape of Metrorail results in a somewhat limited display of multilingualism. The findings also reflect the changed language attitudes and perceptions, the maintenance of power relations, the expression of identity, and the desire to be perceived in a certain way, in a broader South African context. Furthermore,the data reveals that the actual linguistic reality does not accurately reflect the aims of the Western Cape language policy in terms of promoting multilingualism. Moreover, it reveals that English is the preferred language of wider communication and it is also the dominant language on the official and non-official signage in the public space. Although the indigenous African languages, along with Afrikaans, are generally neglected in the public space, these languages are widely spoken by Metrorail commuters. The linguistic landscape of Metrorail therefore does not accurately reflect the linguistic reality of the various speech communities in the Western Cape. The linguistic landscape of Metrorail serves to index the broader social developments of the transformed sociolinguistic South African identity.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche vise à montrer le passage de l’usage ordinaire des espaces publics à l’énonciation d’un récit de la ville où se réalise un engagement réel des acteurs sociaux dans le projet partagé d’une urbanité en devenir. Au-delà d’une pure préoccupation esthétique, le dialogisme urbain répond à la centralité de la ville comme lieu privilégié de l’élaboration des enjeux sociaux. En s’intéressant aux modalités d’appropriation de l’espace urbain durant des balades urbaines guidées, nous verrons en quoi elles constituent un rôle de catalyseur d’un déconditionnement pour les participants dans leur rapport à la ville. Le projet suit ainsi trois perspectives d’investigation. Il y a d’abord le passage de l’hétérogénéité pure des styles urbains – entre le bâtiment classé au patrimoine institutionnel et l’anomie du terrain vague – aux entrelacements dialogiques entre esthétiques en compétition. Nous pourrons ainsi cerner l’interaction des langages, la cohabitation de formes institutionnelles et d’expressions plus individualisées et temporaires, exprimées par une citoyenneté changeante. Ensuite, il s’agit d’observer la transformation des itinéraires fonctionnels aux déplacements selon des parcours électifs qui choisissent des passages par des éléments caractéristiques, permettant une prise affective à chaque fois renouvelée de la ville.Enfin, cette étude constitue une analyse ne se limitant pas à une taxonomie des pratiques. Elle cherche plutôt à rendre compte des gestions du sens dans l’interaction. Une forme d’interaction où l’appropriation de la ville et de ses objets n’est plus seulement intime, mais observable parce qu’explicite, socialisée et attestée par l’expérienceThis research study aims to show the transition from the ordinary use of public spaces to the enunciation of a city narrative in which the social actors are committed in the shared project of an urbanity in the making. Beyond a pure aesthetic preoccupation, the urban dialogism responds to the centrality of the city as a privileged space for the elaboration of social issues. By focusing on the appropriation of urban space during guided urban walks, we will see how they constitute a catalyst for deconditioning participants in their relationship to the city. This research project thus follows three investigation perspectives.First, there is the transition from the pure heterogeneity of urban styles – from a building classified as institutional heritage to the anomie of a vacant lot - to the dialogical interplay between aesthetics in competition. We will be able to understand the interaction of languages, the cohabitation of institutional forms and more individualized and temporary statements, expressed by an ever-changing citizenship picture.Then, it is a question of observing the transformation of the functional itineraries to the displacements according to elective courses going through characteristic elements, allowing an ever-renewed affective grip on the city.Finally, this study constitutes an analysis that is not limited to a taxonomy of practices. Rather, it seeks to account for the management of meaning in interaction - a form of interaction where the appropriation of the city and its objects is not only intimate, but observable because explicit, socialized, and attested by experience

A proposta deste trabalho é investigar a validade da intervenção urbana como meio de comunicação, bem como procurar as razões pelas quais esta prática sobrevive em meio a um contexto tecnológico que aparenta superá-la. Com tal objetivo em mente, utilizamos estudos de caso que concatenam movimentos contraculturais da década de 60 com coletivos ativistas contemporâneos. Para tanto, pretende-se analisar o desenvolvimento das técnicas empregadas na gênese das práticas ativistas ao longo deste intervalo de 40 anos de desenvolvimento tecnológico.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of urban intervention as a means of communication and seek the reasons for this practice survives in the midst of a technological environment that appears to overcome it. With this goal in mind, we use case studies that concatenate countercultural movements of the 60s with contemporary activist collectives. To this end, we intend to analyze the development of techniques employed in the genesis of practices activists during this interval of 40 years of technological development.

Previous issue date: 2012-12-21The objective of the present research is to analyse and understand the potential of communication within urban spaces, focusing in particular on the artistic practices of the activist group BijaRi through práxis da comunicação (Barros, 2011); Our hypothesis is that activist actions have the potential to demonstrate a new critical perspectives about the construction of possible worlds. The impression of urban space according to Santos (2002), is to understand, the web of material and immaterial aspects and proposes considering the space as a hybrid or synthesis, always provisional between social content and spatial forms . Investigating these, this paper aims to reflect them in the sentence urban space communicates horizontally with the proposed communicational density presented by Santos (2008) and powered by the concept of fracture by Greimas (2002). Working with the case studies of interventions realized by the BijaRi group that question urban space and dialogue with the conceptual proposals, we seek to demonstrate the potential of communication that is made possible by artistic practices activists. Methodologically the project consists of four phases: Literature review, articulation of the concepts and field research with case studies and interviews. Finally we present the results including the conclusion as well as issues that have the potential for further research
A presente pesquisa tem como objeto a materialidade das mídias, isto é, o potencial comunicante do espaço urbano, com foco em práticas artísticas. O objetivo do trabalho é compreender e analisar a potencialidade de práticas artísticas, mais precisamente práticas ativistas do grupo BijaRi, através da práxis da comunicação (Barros, 2011). Nossa hipótese é a de que ações ativistas na cidade são capazes de fazer despertar novas perspectivas críticas sobre construções de mundos possíveis. A noção de espaço urbano, segundo Santos (2002), compreende um entrelaçamento de aspectos materiais e imateriais, e propõe que se considere o espaço como um híbrido, ou síntese, sempre provisória entre conteúdo social e formas espaciais . A dissertação articula também o conceito de espaço urbano comunicante horizontal de Santos (2008) e o conceito de fratura em Greimas (2002). Trabalhamos com estudos de casos de intervenções realizadas pelo grupo BijaRi que problematizam o espaço urbano e dialogam com as propostas conceituais, buscamos mostrar o potencial comunicante do espaço urbano e o potencial comunicante que possui as práticas artísticas ativistas. Metodologicamente, o projeto é composto por quatro fases: revisão bibliográfica, articulação de conceitos, pesquisa de campo com o estudo de casos e entrevistas. Por fim, apresentamos a conclusão e seus resultados, além de apresentarmos as questões ainda em aberto para pesquisas posteriores

This master´s degree dissertation aims to present a study of ecosystem communicative processes involved in the relationship generated from outdoor media and urban space. To comply with the proposal, noted the necessity of using studies coming from other scientific fields such as Semiotics of Culture and Geography. In this sense, the field of semiotics in helpful for the construction of a semiotic look on the complexity with which the object is presented, so we resort to the concept of semiosis to identify the elements involved in the communication process regarding advertising and enrolled in the city. In the area of knowledge of geography, we used the concepts of fixed and streams to recognize other objects from the vision of another scientific field. In this perspective, we realized the close connection between the dynamics of the city influencing the participation of foreign media in your space. The main objective of this work is to recognize the relationships involved in the dialogue between the media outside of the real estate and the city of Manaus. Such notes raised justify the need of this research is to delineate the transdisciplinarity. We seek to address the communicative processes under the bias of ecosystem-based communication semiotics proposed Feitoza Mirna Pereira. The media were observed outside the panel, the man-arrow and checkered flag of the English and Residential projects Reserve Reflection lights, located in the district of Ponta Negra, west of Manaus. We prepared an extensive direct observation form organized into three categories: The communicative ecosystem in relation to urban space, the communicative ecosystem regarding their language and communicative ecosystem regarding the media observed. Data collection took place in the four weekends of April this year. Taking as reference the information collected in the field through the application form and experience of the researcher with the phenomenon, we developed two diagrams as a form of graphical representation of what is identified to be the communications ecosystem of external publicity and the city. Thus, this research aims to be a theoretical contribution both to academics and researchers, as well as a support for those who seek to think about the field of communication and the city from a systemic perspective.
Esta dissertação tem como propósito apresentar um estudo ecossistêmico dos processos comunicativos gerados envolvidos na relação entre a mídia externa e o espaço urbano. Para cumprir a proposta apresentada, observou-se a necessidade de utilizar estudos advindos de outros campos científicos, como a Semiótica da Cultura e a Geografia. Nesse sentido, o campo da Semiótica foi útil para a construção de um olhar semiótico diante da complexidade com que o objeto se apresentava, por isso recorre-se ao conceito de semiose para identificar parte dos elementos envolvidos no processo comunicativo arrolado na relação entre publicidade e cidade. Já na área de conhecimento da Geografia, recorreu-se aos conceitos de elementos fixos e fluxos para o reconhecimento de outros objetos a partir da visão de um campo científico distinto. Nessa perspectiva, percebeu-se a estreita ligação entre a dinâmica da cidade a influenciar a participação da mídia exterior em seu espaço. O objetivo fulcral, portanto, é reconhecer as relações envolvidas no diálogo entre a mídia exterior dos empreendimentos imobiliários e a cidade de Manaus. Tais apontamentos justificam a necessidade do delineamento transdisciplinar desta pesquisa. Buscou-se abordar os processos comunicativos sob o viés dos ecossistemas comunicacionais de base semiótica, proposta de Mirna Feitoza Pereira. As mídias exteriores observadas foram o painel, o homem-seta e a bandeirada dos empreendimentos Reserva Inglesa e Residencial Reflexo Luzes, localizados no bairro da Ponta Negra, zona oeste de Manaus. Foi elaborado um formulário de observação direta extensiva organizado em três categorias: O ecossistema comunicativo em relação ao espaço urbano, o ecossistema comunicativo em relação a sua linguagem e o ecossistema comunicativo em relação a mídia observada. A coleta de dados se deu nos quatro finais de semana do mês de abril do ano presente. Tendo como referencia as informações levantadas em campo através da aplicação do formulário e da experiência do pesquisador com o fenômeno estudado, elaboramos dois diagramas como uma forma de representação gráfica do que identificamos ser o ecossistema comunicativo da publicidade externa e a cidade. Com isso, essa pesquisa pretende ser uma contribuição teórica tanto para os acadêmicos e pesquisadores da área, como também um suporte para aqueles que buscam pensar o campo da comunicação e da cidade a partir de um olhar sistêmico.

The intent of this research, based on the study of Icapuí s (Ceará) porched loam houses, and through the understanding of architecture as a language, is to comprehend the resources utilized by home builders and residents to communicate and create meaning, with the purpose of investigating the existing relationship between the construction of the home space and its representations (spatialitys) and the urban and communicative sociability originated from the interactive exchange of values, which start within the private area and expands into the public space. Through the understanding of architecture as a language, this research analyzes Icapuí s porched loam houses to comprehend the resources utilized by home builders and residents to create and communicate meaning. The research investigates the existing relationship between the construction of the home space and its representations (spatialitys) and the urban and communicative sociability originated from the interactive exchange of values that start within the private area and expand into the public space. The object of this paper is, therefore, Icapuí s porched loam houses and the relationship that this architecture establishes with the habitants and the city, especififically how the home becomes the means of communicating everyday habits, values and specifific and not transferable behaviors. It will be necessary, along this analysis, to document a specifific architectonic typology and indentify the values, implicit or explicit, that justify this typology s endurance or that stimulate its disappearance. Apart from identifying these values, it is necessary to investigate the mediation processes that prompted the value transmission and also indentify how the changes on the way of living influence the characterization of the communicability of the home values. It was found, so far, that home building and home inhabiting constitute a mediation to a communicative sociability, and that the typological changes in the architecture of the Icapuí s porched loam houses (multiples and mutant spatialitys) characterize sociability and meaning changes in the communication processes. The methodology consisted in the characterization of the object (through a fifield research, realized within 2006 and 2008) and the confrontation and analysis of the obtained data (based on C.S. Peirce Semiotic), from a plural and theoretical perspective that provides a dialogue between communication, space and culture. Concepts such as space, spatialitys and urban sociability (l. Ferrara), means and mediation (M.Mcluhan, J.M-Barbero), inhabit and live in (M.Heidegger, N.Leach), and communicate, transmit and methodology (R.Debray), are fundamental to the development of the research
A pesquisa pretende, a partir do estudo das casas de taipa alpendradas de Icapuí / Ceará, e através da compreensão da arquitetura como linguagem, estudar o repertório utilizado por aquele que constrói e aquele que habita para comunicar e constituir sentido, a fifim de investigar as relações existentes entre a construção do espaço do habitar e suas representações (espacialidades), e a sociabilidade urbana e comunicativa decorrente das trocas interativas de valores, que se dão no âmbito privado, e expandem-se para o espaço público. O objeto de estudo deste trabalho consiste, portanto, nas casas de taipa alpendradas de Icapuí e nas relações que esta arquitetura estabelece com os habitantes e a cidade, ou seja, no modo como o habitar se transforma em meio que produz um ambiente comunicativo e um cotidiano com hábitos, valores e comportamentos específificos e intransferíveis. Será necessário, ao longo deste percurso, documentar uma tipologia arquitetônica específifica e identifificar os valores, implícitos e explícitos, que justifificam sua permanência ou estimulam seu desaparecimento. Ao perceber tais valores, deve-se ainda investigar os processos de mediação através dos quais sua transmissão se deu e continua ocorrendo -, bem como identifificar como as alterações no modo de morar influenciam a caracterização da comunicabilidade dos valores do habitar. Verififica-se, até então, que os processos do habitar constituem uma mediação para uma sociabilidade comunicativa, e que as alterações tipológicas na arquitetura das casas de taipa alpendradas de Icapuí (múltiplas e mutantes espacialidades) caracterizam alterações na sociabilidade e nos modos de signifificação dos seus processos de comunicação. A estratégia metodológica consiste na caracterização do objeto (a partir de pesquisa de campo, realizada entre 2006 e 2008), comparação e análise dos dados obtidos (a partir da Semiótica de C.S. Peirce), partindo de um horizonte teórico múltiplo que permita o diálogo entre a comunicação, o espaço e a cultura. Conceitos como espaço, espacialidade e sociabilidade urbana (L. Ferrara), meio e mediação (M.McLuhan, J.M-Barbero), habitar e morar (M.Heidegger, N.Leach), e comunicar, transmitir e mediologia (R.Debray), são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa

Full textAbstract:
This study develops a model for understanding spatial change and the construction of space as a meeting-place, and then employs it in order to show an otherwise little-known picture of (sub-)urban Russia and its transformation from Soviet times to today. The model is based on time-geographic ideas of time-space as a limited resource in which forces of various kinds struggle for access and form space in interaction with each other. Drawing on cultural semiotics and the concepts of lifeworld and system, the study highlights the social side of these space-forming forces. Based on a long-term fieldwork (participant observation) in Ligovo/Uritsk, a high-rise residential district developed around 1970 and situated on the outskirts of Sankt-Peterburg (St Petersburg), the empirical material concerns processes of urban identity, spatial representations and local politics. The study explicates three codes used to form the image of the city that all relate to its pre-Revolutionary history, two textual strategies of juxtaposition in creating the genius loci of a place, and a discussion of what I call Soviet "stiff landscape" in relation to Soviet mental and ordinary maps of the urban landscape. Moreover, the study shows that the newly implemented self-governing municipalities have not realised their potential as political actors in forming local space, which raises questions on the democratisation of urban space. Finally, the study argues that the model that guides the research is a tool that facilitates the application of the world-view of time-geography and the epistemology of the landscape of courses in concrete research. The study ends with an attempt to generalise spatial change in four types.

Full textAbstract:
Considers the problem of the Orthodox religious identity from the point of view of the influence of five types of discourse, widely represented in the Orthodox semiotic picture of the world: philosophical, mythological, artistic, political and ideological. Selected types of religious identity: normative, marginalized, and folkloristically, and determined what type of discourse most pragmatically strongly influences the formation of a type of Orthodox identity. The authors come to the conclusion about the existence in the Russian Federation "rural" and "urban" Orthodox discourses. The first leads to the development of social strain in the area of religious identity and is the base of the formation polarisierung religious identity. The second sets the normative Orthodox identity, avoiding archaism and development of the centaur-ideas. This study was conducted in part supported by RFBR, research project No. 18-011-00164 on "Discursive study of religious identity."
Designed for a wide range of sociologists, philologists, cultural studies and religious studies, as well as for a wide circle of readers interested in questions of religion.

AbstractAs the acceptance of queer identities has proceeded in fits and starts over the last few decades, the question has been raised, is it still necessary to have dedicated queer spaces? City dwellers often reason that with supposed improvements in safety and social mixing, the “gay ghettos” that form a transitional stage in neighborhood revitalization should now become common areas. Yet the capitalist logic that drives this thinking often trades the physical threat of exclusion or violence for an existential one, jeopardizing a distinctive culture that remains valuable in the self-realization process of local queer citizens. This is visible not only in changing demographics, but also in the production of discourse across multiple levels; language and semiotics help to constitute neighborhoods, but also to conceptualize them. This chapter examines how public signs and artifacts reify and sustain three competing narratives of a single central Philadelphia neighborhood in flux: the traditionally queer “Gayborhood” that developed shortly after World War II, the officially designated “Washington Square West,” and the realtor-coined, recently gentrifying “Midtown Village.” I argue that the naming and describing of these spaces, and how their associated discourses are reflected by their contents, continues to play a role in the ongoing struggle for queer acceptance. Combining observational data of multimodal public texts (storefronts, flyers, street signs, etc.) and critical discourse analysis within the linguistic/semiotic landscapes paradigm, I present a critique of the presumed inevitability of queer erasure here. This is supplemented with a comparison of grassroots, bottom-up, and official, top-down documents in various media (maps, brochures, websites, social media, etc.) that perpetuate the different discourses. Ultimately, a change in urban scenery and how a neighborhood is envisioned only masks the fact that spaces of queer expression, marked by their eroding distinctiveness rather than their deviance, are still needed.

AbstractIt can be argued that migrants express their own agency, via spatial practices, to change the meanings of the spaces and places they occupy and use. Although they are not the most powerful agents in our glocalized world, they nevertheless sometimes consciously and more often unconsciously, compete with others to visually define their micro-worlds for themselves and, therefore, for more powerful others as well (Krase & Shortell, 2015). Of course, migrants move, but they also settle and can establish more or less permanent enclaves. As students of mid- to large-scale urban change, we focus on commercial neighborhood vernacular landscapes which we argue have the greatest visual impact on observers. As we argue here, special attention should be paid to the visible products of their settlement which are enacted in local vernacular landscapes. For example, markets, places of worship, and even the patterns of dress of people on the street can serve as powerful semiotics or “markers” of change due to migration. It must be noted at the outset that social scientist, like ordinary observers, must avoid the common tendency to essentialize these visible signs that contribute to the problem of stereotyping social groups.

Full textAbstract:
Urban space is composed of various dimensions and contexts that generate urban forms. The spatial distributions of urban elements have different layers of connotative indications associated with Society's shared knowledge. The implying semiotics affect space configuration that could lead either to generate a compact or sprawl urban fabric. However, it is essential to know how the semiotic elements affect space configuration. The research aims to locate semiotic elements that have a role in space configuration. The research methodology depends on finding the semiotic values through a practical survey combined with a GIS tool to locate the correlations between the most valuable signs using the chi-square method. Also, to build a model for assessing the cognitive semiotic elements. The model gives a clue to explain how the spatial configuration is affected by the existence of semiotic values and shifts its values accordingly.

Full textAbstract:
The described design methodology combines parametric design, data analysis, algorithmic design and semiotics theory to systematically analyze urban reality. The analysis leads to a creation of a nebula of data which corresponds to the place of interest. The nebula of data consists of networks of semiotics spatially defined. Through the proposed methodology, semiotics are used to enhance the perception that we have for a place and create a strategy for its' branding. Space is not approached as an empty container but as a complex system that consists of material and immaterial elements. The characteristics of these elements are quantified by their context and the logics of description to which they correspond. Logics of description are constantly changing following the multiplicity and the expansion of concepts. Therefore, space is constantly redefined following the transformation of the corresponding virtual data. Considering that each framework draws up an ideology following the change of context and the logics of description, a tool (machine) for analyzing written speech is developed, combining data visualization techniques, linguistics and design methodologies to configure logics of description. Written speech is transformed into a series of networks, visualizing their ontological relationships and disregarding the factor of time. A nebula of data corresponding to the mental reality of space is formed. Following a methodological procedure, the nebula of space is transformed to a nebula of place. The nebula of place contains its' key characteristics parametrized. A selection of these characteristics is combined to create the brand of the place concerning its' context and logics of description. The before mentioned methodological tool connects people, spaces, and machines enabling the connection of spatial data to create the impression (brand) of a place.

Full textAbstract:
The study on bridge criticism is an interdisciplinary research of the theory of bridge engineering, architectural criticism, art criticism and bridge aesthetics. It is an important part of design theory of bridges. Generally speaking, bridge criticism is the identification and evaluation of creative thoughts of bridges, the design of bridges, the process of bridge construction and service, and the social individual and public using of bridges. This research focuses on the forming process, operating model, characteristics and value of bridge criticism. The main research contents include axiology, subjectivity theory, semiotics and methodology of bridge criticism. Based on theories of bridge criticism, this paper comes up with an evaluation method of urban bridges.

Full textAbstract:
Populating the urban fabric of the host environment with myriad objects for sale, the street market produces a brief, exuberant and perishable system of interior spaces. While the market is taking place, the semiotics of the domestic unexpectedly disguise the city’s streets. With a fluctuating number of vendors and an oscillating volume of merchandise, street markets defy prescribed architectural boundaries, raising dilemmas about flexibility and design control when using standard architectural components to provide permanence. Although nominally outdoors, what street markets thrive on is a captivating kind of interiority, a mutable medium, characterized by cycles of change. Rather than following architectural typologies, the design of permanent market stalls might profitably turn its focus to models of interior occupation.

Full textAbstract:
In spatial, social and cultural pluralism, the questions of human intentionality and socio-spatial emergence remain central to social theory (Portugali 2000, p.142). The correlation between individual preferences, values and intentions, and actual behaviour and actions, is subject to Portugali’s theory of self-organisation (2000). Compared to Gidden’s structuralism, which focuses on society and groups, the point of departure for Portugali (2000) are individuals and their personal choices. The key feature in how complex systems `self-organise', is that they `interpret', the information that comes from the environment (Portugali 2006). The current study explores the urban environment formerly inhabited, and largely constructed, by Jews in two central Polish districts: Mazovia and Lodz, before the tragedy of the Holocaust. While the Jewish presence lasted from the 11th century until the outbreak of World War II, the most intensive development took place in the 19th century, together with the civilisation changes introduced by industrialisation. Embracing the everyday habits of Jewish citizens endows the neighbourhood structures they once inhabited with long gone meanings, the information layer which once helped organise everyday life. The main thesis reveals that Jewish communities in pre-war Poland represented an example of a self-organising society, one which could be considered a prototype of contemporary postmodern cultural complexity. The mapping of this complexity at the scale of a neighbourhood is a challenge, a method for which is addressed in the current paper. The above considerations are in line with the empirical studies of the relations between Jews and Poles, especially in large cities, where more complex socio-cultural processes could have occurred.
