Abstract This paper introduces the notion of speculative semiotics as a scientific project within the larger umb- rella of speculative studies. The paper first provides a brief account of the projects of “nuclear semiotics” that investigated how to communicate across long periods of time. These efforts are then connected to the traditions of speculative design and design fiction, whose roots can be traced back to situationism and to Italian radical design. The synergy between semiotics and speculation is articulated around four main dimensions: communication with the future, communicating in the future, semiotics as a tool for speculation and speculation as an object of semiotics. To solidify its proposal, the paper presents a small semiotic speculation related to machine learning and image generation and an overview of the papers presented in this special issue. The conclusions reiterate the potential of this approach and outline a simple roadmap for the development of speculative semiotics.
摘要本文介绍了思辨符号学的概念,将其作为一个科学项目纳入思辨研究的大范畴。本文首先简要介绍了“核符号学”项目,该项目研究了如何在长时间内进行交流。这些努力随后与思辨设计和设计小说的传统联系在一起,其根源可以追溯到情境主义和意大利激进设计。符号学和思辨之间的协同作用围绕四个主要维度进行阐述:与未来的沟通,未来的沟通,作为思辨工具的符号学和作为符号学对象的思辨。为了巩固其提议,本文提出了一个与机器学习和图像生成相关的小符号学推测,并概述了本期特刊中发表的论文。结论重申了这种方法的潜力,并概述了思辨符号学发展的简单路线图。

Abstract There’s no need to introduce the first speaker of this morning as he is, arguably, one of the most renowned semioticians in the world. During his brilliant career he has published extensively on the topic of virtual realities and he will present to us his latest research on the defining technology of our times: the Simulatron. Specifically, he will focus on the 2053 incident which took place inside the virtual world of SimuLife during which all the users lost the ability to use verbal language and thus inventively resorted to different semiotic forms of meaning-making to communicate and interact. A topic which is of extreme relevance for this 2062 World congress « Semiotics in the Metalife ». So, without further ado, I welcome and leave the floor to Professor Wright..
没有必要介绍今天上午的第一位演讲者,因为他可以说是世界上最著名的符号学家之一。在他辉煌的职业生涯中,他发表了大量关于虚拟现实主题的文章,他将向我们展示他对我们这个时代的定义技术的最新研究:Simulatron。具体来说,他将专注于2053年发生在SimuLife虚拟世界内的事件,在此期间,所有用户都失去了使用口头语言的能力,因此创造性地采用不同的符号学形式来进行意义制造的交流和互动。这是一个与2062年世界大会“金属生活中的符号学”极端相关的主题。那么,话不多说,我欢迎并把讲台留给赖特教授。

The Linguistic Shape of Things to Come 未来事物的语言形态
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2022-0025
P. Bertetti
Abstract Published in 1958, The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance is one of the earliest linguistic speculations in the science fiction genre. Directly inspired by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, it describes a complex, linguistic engineering experiment set up to transform the essentially peaceful nature of the inhabitants of the planet Pao, so that they might stand up to invaders from another planet. It does so through the creation and implementation of three new languages, as opposed to the one they already speak, to create a merchant class, technical class, and warrior class. While Vance’s extrapolation is excessively schematic, and certainly leans heavily on a concept of linguistic relativism that now sounds rather dated, other science fiction writers have explored in different ways the idea that language influences thought and perception of the world, beginning with Babel 17 by Samuel Delany, and Ted Chiang’s Story of Your Life (on which the film The Arrival by Denis Villeneuve is based). But of particular importance here is Mother Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin. Her novel is set in a dystopian, patriarchal future, where a group of linguists creates an artificial language, the Làadan, to better express women’s perception of life and as an act of resistance to the dominant male-centred culture, thus anticipating many themes in today’s debate on language and gender.
杰克·万斯的《包语》出版于1958年,是科幻小说中最早的语言学思辨之一。它直接受到Sapir-Whorf假说的启发,描述了一个复杂的语言工程实验,旨在改变Pao星球上居民本质上的和平本性,使他们能够抵御来自另一个星球的入侵者。它通过创建和实现三种新的语言来实现这一点,而不是他们已经说的语言,以创建商人阶级,技术阶级和战士阶级。虽然万斯的推断过于简单,而且严重依赖于一种现在听起来相当过时的语言相对主义概念,但其他科幻作家以不同的方式探索了语言影响思想和对世界的感知的观点,首先是塞缪尔·德拉尼的《巴别塔17》,以及特德·江的《你的生活故事》(丹尼斯·维伦纽夫的电影《降临》就是根据它改编的)。但这里特别重要的是Suzette Haden Elgin的《母语》。她的小说以反乌托邦、男权主义的未来为背景,一群语言学家创造了一种人工语言Làadan,以更好地表达女性对生活的感知,并作为对以男性为中心的主导文化的一种抵抗,从而预见了当今关于语言和性别的辩论中的许多主题。

Towards Xenofuturism. Decolonial Future Figurations from Vernacular Semioverses 向Xenofuturism。从白话半韵文看非殖民化的未来意象
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2022-0022
Cristina Voto, Rodrigo Martin-Iglesias, Rocío Agra
Abstract The goal of our research is to question the Global North’s narratives of the Future through alternative vernacular semiotic constructions. We will analyze the impact that American vernacular semioverses have on the possibility of generating decolonial figurations of alternative futures, based on the theoretical framework of what we call Xenofuturism. Having its roots in Latin America, Xenofuturism has two complementary aspects: the recovery of an active memory of decolonial deconstruction and the understanding of radical alterity. Within these semioverses, we will explore the Aymara cultural figurations for which the future is not ahead but behind, disorienting us from the present, the only temporal dimension in which we exist. In the ancestral cosmogony of the Bolivian-Peruvian Andean, where the Aymara culture stems from the idea of future-past, or that the past can be seen as future, is central. Temporal hybridity tears apart the linearity of Western time and outlines the emergence of figurations of the future that contain a density of temporal tensions in the present.
摘要本研究的目的是通过不同的白话符号学结构来质疑全球北方对未来的叙述。我们将基于所谓的异种未来主义(Xenofuturism)的理论框架,分析美国白话半句对产生非殖民化的另类未来形象的可能性的影响。异种未来主义起源于拉丁美洲,它有两个互补的方面:恢复对非殖民化解构的积极记忆和对激进另类的理解。在这些半节选中,我们将探索艾马拉文化的形象,对他们来说,未来不是在前面,而是在后面,把我们从我们存在的唯一时间维度——现在——中迷失方向。在玻利维亚-秘鲁安第斯山脉的祖先宇宙论中,艾马拉文化源于未来-过去的观念,或者过去可以被视为未来,这是核心。时间的混杂撕裂了西方时间的线性,勾勒出了未来形象的出现,这些形象包含了当前时间紧张的密度。

From biosemiotics to physiosemiotics. Towards a speculative semiotics of the inorganic world. 从生物符号学到生理符号学。走向无机世界的思辨符号学。

Abstract In the first part of the article, biosemiotics will be presented in its historical and theoretical dynamics. New areas of research that have emerged in the speculative field of biosemiotics, such as ecosemiotics, will be explored. In all its developments, biosemiotics, which identifies semiosis with life, excludes inorganic matter from any semiotics processes. However, the inorganic world is a fundamental part of the biosphere, especially if we consider the emergence of life. In order to include inorganic matter within semiotic processes of the biosphere we will use James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis reinterpreted in the light of semiotics. If we use the hypothesis of planet Earth as a living system in its complexity and if we consider that every living system is intrinsically semiotic, then inorganic matter must also participate in semiotics processes. In this sense, the semiotics of the inorganic world reveals that it participates in a sort of non-human agency. This type of speculative semiotics engages semiotics processes that are constitutive of matter and that can be read as the story of the planet itself. In conclusion, I will propose a physiosemiotics as semiotics of matter.
在文章的第一部分,将介绍生物符号学的历史和理论动态。将探讨在生物符号学的投机领域中出现的新研究领域,如生态符号学。在它的所有发展中,将符号学与生命等同起来的生物符号学,将无机物排除在符号学过程之外。然而,无机世界是生物圈的基本组成部分,特别是如果我们考虑到生命的出现。为了将无机物纳入生物圈的符号学过程,我们将使用詹姆斯·洛夫洛克在符号学的基础上重新诠释的盖亚假说。如果我们假设地球是一个复杂的生命系统,如果我们认为每个生命系统本质上都是符号学的,那么无机物也必须参与符号学过程。在这个意义上,无机世界的符号学揭示了它参与了一种非人类的代理。这种思辨符号学涉及构成物质的符号学过程,可以被解读为地球本身的故事。最后,我将提出物理符号学作为物质符号学。

Living detectors and complementary signs: cats, eyes, and sirens 活生生的探测器和互补的标志:猫、眼睛和警笛
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2022-0008

Abstract/Summary The article proposes that society should allow any information about the exact locations of radioactive waste repositories to be forgotten and to pass on to further generations only the knowledge about the fact that radioactive waste repositories do exist and about methods of radiation measurement. This is to prevent politically relevant knowledge from being exploited. A biological option is recommended for radiation measurement: in order to make nuclear radiation perceptible to humans, animals should be bred that react to radioactive irradiation with skin discoloration. This animal species should exist as part of the ecological niche of humans, and its role as a radiation detector should be anchored in cultural tradition by introducing a suitable name (e.g., ‘ray cat’) and by proverbs and myths. If someone unknowingly enters a radioactive waste repository, they shall be war-ned by iconic-indexical signs. A representation of a human body part (e.g., an ‘eye brea-king into pieces’) should serve as a visual signal and a siren powered by radiation ener-gy, whose volume and sound correspond to the intensity of radiation, should serve as an acoustic signal. However, the authors are skeptical about the likelihood that these signs will actually be understood by the addressees and accepted as a warning.
摘要/摘要这篇文章建议,社会应该允许人们忘记有关放射性废物贮存库确切位置的任何信息,而只把有关放射性废物贮存库确实存在的事实和有关辐射测量方法的知识传给后代。这是为了防止政治相关知识被利用。建议采用生物方法进行辐射测量:为了使人类能够感受到核辐射,应饲养对放射性辐射有反应的动物,使其皮肤变色。这种动物应该作为人类生态位的一部分而存在,它作为辐射探测器的作用应该通过引入一个合适的名字(例如“射线猫”)以及谚语和神话来扎根于文化传统中。如果有人在不知情的情况下进入放射性废物储存库,他们将被标记标记。人体部分的图像(例如“眼睛裂成碎片”)应作为视觉信号,而由辐射能量驱动的警报器(其音量和声音与辐射强度相对应)应作为声信号。然而,作者对这些标志是否真的会被收件人理解并被接受为警告的可能性表示怀疑。

Xenosemiotics. Toward an Alienist Materialism Xenosemiotics。走向异己唯物主义
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2022-0021
Gregorio Tenti
Abstract Intended as a branch of synthetic biology, xenobiology aims to design and build non-standard life forms, that is to constructively venture into biological otherness. According to this creative and speculative character, it challenges the principles of synthetic biology itself, which is tied to a fundamentally reductionist approach. Xenobiology does not treat life as a closed code, but rather as a field of ontological innovation; in this sense, it evokes a biosemiotic paradigm that accounts for sense-making and non-anthropomorphic interactions. Xenobiology, however, can also be intended as the “divergent” and most speculative part of astrobiology, namely as a theory of contact with extra-terrestrial life. According to this second meaning, it searches for and speculates on alien biologies. Building on these two meanings, the paper aims to outline a semiotic theory of otherness, or ‘xenosemiotics’, that shifts the focus from communication to morphogenetic information.
作为合成生物学的一个分支,异种生物学旨在设计和构建非标准的生命形式,即建设性地探索生物的差异性。根据这种创造性和思辨性的特点,它挑战了合成生物学本身的原则,而合成生物学本身与一种基本的还原主义方法联系在一起。异种生物学不把生命当作一个封闭的代码,而是作为一个本体论创新的领域;从这个意义上说,它唤起了一种生物符号学范式,说明了意义形成和非拟人化的相互作用。然而,外星生物学也可以被认为是天体生物学的“发散”和最具思辨性的部分,即与外星生命接触的理论。根据第二种含义,它搜索和推测外星生物。在这两个意义的基础上,本文旨在概述一个他者的符号学理论,或“异种符号学”,将焦点从交流转移到形态发生信息。

The Abduction of the Future Between inventive thinking and speculative design 在创造性思维和思辨设计之间对未来的绑架
Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2022-0020
S. Zingale
Abstract Evolutionary history, writes Peirce, teaches us that the future influences the present: it conditions it, puts it into question, and places it in a state of planning. To be in evolution, as well as to feel part of a history, means to project oneself, to form an idea, a prefiguration, of what we could be in a future state, no matter how distant. The logical form of every design and the inventive process is abduction, in particular projective abduction, which proposes as the object of discovery an object or event that has yet to be realized. In this sense, abduction can also be defined as the semiotics of the possible. Is it possible to outline an abductive design method? My contribution aims to discuss how abduction, and with it, everything that contributes to the formation of an inventive habit, can be considered as the ineliminable step of every design process. This is the case of Speculative Design, which has had the credit of introducing the notion of possibility into design thinking.
皮尔斯写道,进化史告诉我们,未来影响着现在:它制约着现在,使它受到质疑,并使它处于一种计划状态。身处进化之中,以及感觉自己是历史的一部分,意味着投射自己,形成一种想法,一种预示,预示着我们未来的状态,不管有多遥远。每一个设计和发明过程的逻辑形式都是溯因,特别是投射溯因,它提出了一个尚未实现的对象或事件作为发现的对象。在这个意义上,溯因也可以被定义为可能的符号学。是否有可能概述一种溯因设计方法?我的贡献旨在讨论如何溯因,并与它,一切有助于形成一个创造性的习惯,可以被认为是每个设计过程中不可消除的步骤。思辨设计就是一个例子,它把可能性的概念引入了设计思维。

Abstract This paper presents and examines two hypothetical case studies picturing a near future where digital machines have transcended their merely instrumental constitution and participate in performances having religious resemblances. The paper Illustrate how and why a) certain shared activities between humans and ‘machines’ can be understood as ‘religious’ by following Fontanille’s Forms of Life and Wittgenstein’s nonessentialist approach to language; b) animism is the ontology that best describes such intimate and ‘nonutilitarian’ interrelations with digital forms of existence; c) in religious experiences with computational-based entities the type of discourse prevailing the most corresponds to the category of poetic language. In conclusion, both hypothetical scenarios strive to illuminate how the unfolding of poetic and animistic interactions with the computational medium provide experiences that can be ascribed to the notion of religion and, more importantly, how we are already moving towards such intimate religious entanglements with the digital context.
本文提出并研究了两个假设的案例研究,描绘了在不久的将来,数字机器已经超越了它们仅仅是工具的构成,并参与了具有宗教相似性的表演。本文阐述了如何以及为什么a)人类和“机器”之间的某些共同活动可以通过遵循丰塔尼尔的《生命形式》和维特根斯坦的非本质主义语言方法来理解为“宗教”;B)万物有灵论是最好地描述与数字形式存在的这种亲密和“非功利”相互关系的本体论;C)在基于计算的实体的宗教体验中,话语类型最符合诗歌语言的范畴。总之,这两种假设的场景都试图阐明,与计算媒介展开的诗意和万物有灵的互动如何提供可归因于宗教概念的体验,更重要的是,我们如何已经与数字环境走向这种亲密的宗教纠缠。

Abstract Drawing on the field of nuclear semiotics, this article critically discusses the classic problem of marking the location of a deep geological repository to communicate – in the distant future – its presence and potential threats to intruders. The article is divided into two parts. The first part reviews some site-marking solutions that have been proposed in the nearly 40 years of nuclear semiotics’ existence. These solutions are analyzed through the lens of semiotics of space and memory, highlighting different ideas about the purposes of site-marking, ranging from the idea of communicating a warning message to that of transmitting a memory. The second part addresses these strategies of memory transmission by examining some recent “speculative experiments” that use art to convey information about nuclear repositories to future generations. This part of the article examines artistic proposals submitted to a competition organized by ANDRA (the French Agency for Nuclear Waste).
摘要:本文以核符号学领域为基础,批判性地讨论了标记深层地质储存库位置的经典问题,以便在遥远的未来传达其存在和对入侵者的潜在威胁。本文分为两部分。第一部分回顾了核符号学近40年来提出的一些位点标记解决方案。从空间和记忆的符号学角度分析了这些解决方案,突出了关于场地标记目的的不同观点,从传达警告信息的想法到传递记忆的想法。第二部分通过研究一些最近的“推测性实验”来解决这些记忆传递的策略,这些实验使用艺术来向后代传达有关核废料库的信息。文章的这一部分审查了提交给由ANDRA(法国核废料机构)组织的竞赛的艺术提案。
