Abstract

We consider breath as a vast prospect that includes actions and traces of them, that builds images and texts, that involves the human being and the extra-human context; we call this great scenery ‘breathscape’. We then study how breathscape interacts with the human apparatus of the face, both giving rise to signs, but also giving rise to a liminal zone of extremely intriguing interpretative processes on a mereological scale. How and where do the territory of breath and the body interact? Which processes of signification do they give rise to? And which signs are created in their phenomenal and semantic encounter? Art is certainly the most appropriate language for studying this process, as well as for letting opacities emerge and exploring outstanding contrasts. There are various concepts of ‘breathscape’ that, grounded in different cultures, are immediately associated with ancient and contemporary philosophies. As a reverberation from a semiotic interaction and through the discretization and identification of semantic fields relevant to the concerned scenario, and introducing textuality, a phenomenon seen as a crystallization of the transition between outer text (the text of reality) and text (subject/object), we consider those visual texts which are crossed by a common faculty that is both descriptive and inventive: by approaching some inferential and cultural regimes and analysing their specific enunciative practices, we then contribute to their renovation. The texts related to the practices as part of the narratives intrinsic to cultural semiospheres underline the insatiable vastness of epistemological content to be dealt with, and the functional reductionism of the corpus is only a first approach to the field that is intended to shed light on the general panorama and to stimulate subsequent debate and insights.

艺术、面孔和呼吸景观:从空气到文化文本
我们认为呼吸是一个广阔的前景,包括它们的行动和痕迹,构建图像和文本,涉及人类和人外环境;我们把这片美景称为“呼吸景观”。然后,我们研究了呼吸景观如何与人类面部器官相互作用,既产生了迹象,也产生了一个表面上极其有趣的解释过程的临界区。呼吸和身体的区域是如何以及在哪里相互作用的?它们产生了哪些意义过程?哪些符号是在它们的现象和语义相遇中产生的?艺术无疑是研究这一过程的最合适的语言,也是让模糊出现并探索突出对比的最合适语言。有各种各样的“呼吸景观”概念,基于不同的文化,与古代和当代哲学直接相关。作为符号学互动的回响,通过离散化和识别与相关场景相关的语义场,并引入文本性,这是一种被视为外部文本(现实文本)和文本(主体/客体)之间过渡的结晶的现象,我们考虑那些被一种既有描述性又有创造性的共同能力所交叉的视觉文本:通过接近一些推理和文化制度,分析它们的具体阐述实践,我们为它们的更新做出贡献。作为文化半空间固有叙事的一部分,与实践相关的文本强调了要处理的认识论内容的无尽浩瀚,而语料库的功能还原论只是该领域的第一种方法,旨在揭示总体全景,并激发随后的辩论和见解。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
