Brain, Mind and the Signifying Body
"Brain, Mind and the Signifying Body" is an exploration of a multimodal theory of cognitive science. Using linguistic theories first developed by Saussure and more latterly by M. A. K. Halliday, Paul Thibault analyses how social and biological systems interact to produce meaning. This fascinating study will be of interest to undergraduates and academics researching cognitive linguistics and advanced semiotics. The book engages with the current dialogue between the human and life sciences to ask questions about the relationship between the physical, biological aspects of a human being, and the sociocultural framework in which a human being exists. Paul J. Thibault argues that we need to under...
The Social Semiotics of Populism
The concept of 'populism' is currently used by scholars, the media and political actors to refer to multiple and disparate manifestations and phenomena from across both the left and the right ends of the political spectrum. As a result, it defies neat definition, as scholarship on the topic has shown over the last 50 years. In this book, Sebastián Moreno Barreneche approaches populism from a semiotic perspective and argues that it constitutes a specific social discourse grounded on a distinctive narrative structure that is brought to life by political actors that are labelled 'populist'. Conceiving of populism as a mode of semiotic production that is based on a conception of the social spac...
Bilderbuchperipherien
Dieses Buch bietet die erste literatur- und medientheoretisch fundierte Studie zu Blickbewegungen im Bilderbuch. Es begegnet zwei Forschungsdesideraten: Der empirischen Untersuchung geht eine umfassende theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit der Räumlichkeit und Paratextualität des Bilderbuchs voraus, die bislang noch nicht vorliegt. Die Rezeptionsstudie setzt sich in zweierlei Hinsicht von bereits vorliegenden Arbeiten zur Bilderbuchrezeption ab: Anders als in Blickbewegungsstudien aus der experimentellen Psychologie wird die Komplexität des Rezeptionsgegenstandes in die Analyse der Blickbewegungen einbezogen. So setzt die Studie nicht auf bildschirmbasierte Schrift-Bild-Kombinationen oder ...
Social Semiotics
M.A.K Halliday’s work has been hugely influential in linguistics and beyond since the 1960s. This is a collection of interviews with key figures in the generation of social semioticians who have taken Halliday’s concept of social semiotics and developed it further in various directions, making their own original contributions to theory and practice. This book highlights their main lines of thought and considers how they relate to both the original concept of social semiotics and to each other. Key themes include: Linguistic studies, multilinguality and evolution of language; Text, discourse and classroom studies; Digital texts, computer communication and science teaching; Multimodal text...

Culturas das Imagens
Esta segunda edição revisada e ampliada do livro 'Culturas das Imagens: desafios para a arte e a educação', publicado em 2012 e esgotado em 2014, propõe um debate sobre dimensões que dialogam com fenômenos e manifestações culturais e seus interatores; com as condições contemporâneas do trabalho pedagógico/educativo e seus impactos sobre as culturas das imagens; com visões que miram o futuro para analisar as complexas interações com visualidades nesta era globalizada/hipermidiatizada, e, por fim, com reflexões oriundas de trabalhos que apresentam suas ideias circunscrevendo-as em focos históricos e poéticos do pensar/fazer e cultivar as culturas com as quais somos constituídos, aprendemos e, por vezes, nos contrapomos, reconfigurando-as. Novos autores abraçaram o projeto e outros revisaram seus textos ajustando-os ao desejo coletivo de buscar compreender as culturas das imagens de nosso tempo como espaços que podem abrir caminhos para entender a sociedade em que vivemos, suas contradições, seus conflitos, seus dilemas educacionais e, sobretudo, seus medos, esperanças e utopias.
