This
section includes pages devoted to specific areas of Semiotics. Our aim is to
provide, for each area, Web resources, electronic texts, and an essential
bibliography in order either to have a first glance at the subject or to find
more specific materials. We apologize for some information may still be
unavailable; in this case we invite you to come back and visit us again. The
list of subjects we have included here is certainly not complete, and it
reflects the experience and interest of the authors. Suggestions and
corrections are welcome.
VISUAL
SEMIOTICS
(by Paolo Peverini)
Visual languages in the wide sense of the expression: figurative art, cinema,
TV, comics... (in Italian).
NARRATIVITY
One of the most typical areas of application of Semiotics is the analysis of
literary texts, and especially narrative ones. This section is dedicated to
semiotics of the novel and to narrativity (in Italian).
COGNITIVE
SCIENCE AND SEMIOTICS
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the human mind,
at the crossroad of medical, human and social sciences. It pays special
attention to the relationship between mind, brain and artificial
intelligence. Semiotics shares with cognitive sciences many concepts and
categories and cannot avoid a contact with this large field of study (in
Italian).
SOCIOSEMIOTICS
AND APPLIED SEMIOTICS
Semiotic applications in the social field are useful and provide materials
for the researcher; other fields continue to come into the area of semiotics,
such as biology and zoology. Here is a guide for those who are interested in
these applications (in Italian).
SEMIOTICS
AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
(by Giorgio Lo Feudo)
The process of communication that is involved in education and training has
been changed by the introduction of computer and multimedia technology. This
area is dedicated to possible intersections between semiotics and educational
technologies.
