Abstract The use of AI-generated videos centered on the face raises various concerns among professionals and audiences due to the difficulty of providing coherent descriptive tools of their cultural significance. At the same time, the focus of artists and their audiences shifts from the art as a text to the collaboration process between artificial intelligence (AI) and the involved social actors. This raises significant concerns between policymakers and other social actors looking for guidelines for the appropriate use of AI as a tool, collaborator or substitute for creative workers, which can have immediate and long-term impacts on society and culture. Semiotics of culture provides descriptive tools for understanding and evaluating artistic texts and their role in semiotic space, the semiosphere. This article addresses how Lotman’s theory can contribute to the methodology for analyzing AI-generated texts as dynamic models. The theoretical framework developed by Lotman in his research on artistic text, dynamic systems and culture can be applied to the studies of current shifts related to AI-generated arts. This paper looks at the reception of AI-generated videos focused on face representations. In doing so, it analyses the dynamic processes in the creation process of AI-generated videos through their reception in related texts. The findings of this article highlight how Lotman’s theoretical framework can contribute to the methodology to analyze the cultural dynamics evoked by AI-generated artistic texts.
由于难以提供连贯的描述其文化意义的工具,以面部为中心的人工智能生成视频的使用引起了专业人士和观众的各种担忧。与此同时,艺术家和观众的关注点也从作为文本的艺术转向了人工智能(AI)与相关社会行动者之间的协作过程。这引起了政策制定者和其他社会行为者的重大关注,他们正在寻找适当使用人工智能作为工具、合作者或创造性工作者替代品的指导方针,这可能对社会和文化产生直接和长期的影响。文化符号学为理解和评价艺术文本及其在符号学空间(符号圈)中的作用提供了描述性工具。本文讨论了Lotman的理论如何有助于将人工智能生成的文本作为动态模型进行分析。洛特曼在艺术文本、动态系统和文化研究中建立的理论框架可以应用于与人工智能生成的艺术相关的当前转变的研究。本文着眼于以人脸表征为重点的人工智能生成视频的接收。在此过程中,通过人工智能生成的视频在相关文本中的接受来分析其创作过程中的动态过程。本文的发现突出了洛特曼的理论框架如何有助于分析人工智能生成的艺术文本所引发的文化动态的方法。

Abstract Multimodal discourse analysis offers a novel lens for the study of legal discourse. Within the closing arguments of a trial, prosecution and defense attorneys utilize various multimodal resources to present evidence, articulate opinions, and adopt stances to achieve their communicative goals. This research focuses on the closing arguments in the criminal trial concerning the death of George Floyd to analyze the multimodal representation of the closing arguments delivered by both prosecution and defense attorneys. It employs the analytical framework of the attitude system and paralinguistic typology proposed by Martin and colleagues, and uses the UAM Corpus Tool and Praat to qualitatively annotate and quantify the linguistic and paralinguistic information. The findings reveal that these attorneys employ different multimodal resources, including language and paralanguage, to convey their attitudes towards the case’s participants. This leads to the construction of competing narratives, shedding light on how justice is seen to be done.
多模态语篇分析为法律语篇研究提供了一个新的视角。在审判的结案辩论中,控方和辩方律师利用各种多模式资源来提供证据,表达意见,并采取立场来实现他们的沟通目标。本研究以乔治·弗洛伊德死亡案刑事审判中的结案陈词为研究对象,分析了控方和辩方律师结案陈词的多模态表达。它采用Martin等提出的态度系统和副语言类型学的分析框架,并使用UAM语料库工具和Praat对语言和副语言信息进行定性注释和量化。研究结果表明,这些律师使用不同的多模式资源,包括语言和副语言,来传达他们对案件参与者的态度。这导致了相互竞争的叙述的构建,揭示了正义是如何实现的。

Abstract Masks, balaclavas, eye masks, and various accessories have been consistently used to hide the face, from Greek times through the grotesque of the Middle Ages to the Latin American theatre festivals of the 1980s. In the twenty-first century, technological advances such as facial recognition, which are being used for the biopolitical control of the face, caused activists to start developing different mechanisms to cover their faces in public spaces. In other words, the mask is not used solely as a device that builds unique aesthetic-political senses but is also used to avoid being captured by surveillance cameras. The aim of this paper is to identify some of the masks used by activists in Latin American public protests, generating new signs that circulate widely in the semiosphere such as physiognomy, representation, and evocation. For this, we will return to Juri Lotman’s proposal on the semiosphere and the notion of facesphere developed by José Finol, concepts that operate as epistemological and heuristic frameworks that allow understanding the concrete meaning production processes as a global dimension and not only a particular one. What faces are hidden and what physiognomies are shown in the social protest? What borders are established? What political and aesthetic meanings do they build? These are the questions that this paper attempts to answer from a perspective of cultural semiotics.
从希腊时代到怪诞的中世纪,再到20世纪80年代的拉丁美洲戏剧节,面具、巴拉克拉瓦帽、眼罩和各种配饰一直被用来掩盖脸部。在21世纪,面部识别等技术的进步,正被用于面部的生物政治控制,导致活动家们开始开发不同的机制,在公共场所遮住他们的脸。换句话说,面具不仅仅是用来建立独特的审美政治感觉的工具,也是用来避免被监控摄像头捕捉到的。本文的目的是识别拉丁美洲公众抗议活动中活动家使用的一些面具,这些面具产生了在符号学领域广泛传播的新标志,如面相、代表和唤起。为此,我们将回到Juri Lotman关于符号圈的建议和jos Finol提出的面圈概念,这些概念作为认识论和启发性框架运作,允许将具体的意义产生过程理解为一个全局维度,而不仅仅是一个特定的维度。在社会抗议中隐藏了哪些面孔,展示了哪些面相?建立了哪些边界?它们构建了什么政治和美学意义?这些都是本文试图从文化符号学的角度来回答的问题。

Abstract The peculiarities of speech etiquette in each language are determined by historical, cultural, social, cognitive, and religious factors. The study of greeting and farewell speech formulas in Turkish and Arabic is relevant for identifying key linguacultural meanings and concepts using conceptual modeling. The purpose is to analyze the linguistic and cultural conditioning of etiquette formulas in these languages. Linguacultural analysis of linguistic facts was used, along with elements of conceptual, communicative, comparative, and semantic analysis. The results show that the conceptual structure of etiquette formulas consists of functional-semantic fields like temporality, religiosity, marking conversation beginnings/endings. In Turkish, temporal concepts like “day” and “morning” are most frequent, while in Arabic religious concepts like “Allah” and “peace” prevail. Similarities include polite treatment of interlocutors, adherence to religious traditions, and hospitality. Differences lie in the degree of metaphoricality, imagery, and extended responses. The conclusions form ideas about the interrelations between core and peripheral linguacultural concepts, linguistic diversity, and invariance of etiquette formulas, their cognitive representation and role in shaping linguistic personality. The study contributes to understanding national mentality through the analysis of speech formulas.
语言礼仪的独特性是由历史、文化、社会、认知和宗教等因素决定的。研究土耳其语和阿拉伯语的问候语和告别语公式对于使用概念建模识别关键的语言文化意义和概念具有重要意义。目的是分析这些语言中礼仪公式的语言和文化条件。使用了对语言事实的语言文化分析,以及概念分析、交际分析、比较分析和语义分析等要素。结果表明,礼仪公式的概念结构由时间性、宗教性、会话开始/结束标记等功能语义场构成。在土耳其语中,时间概念,如“天”和“早晨”是最常见的,而在阿拉伯语中,宗教概念,如“安拉”和“和平”盛行。相似之处包括对对话者的礼貌对待,对宗教传统的坚持以及热情好客。不同之处在于隐喻、意象和延伸反应的程度。这些结论形成了核心和外围语言文化概念之间的相互关系、语言多样性和礼仪公式的不变性、它们的认知表征和在塑造语言个性方面的作用。本研究通过对言语公式的分析,有助于理解民族心理。

To be is not to inhabit: Yuri M. Lotman’s Ulysses and his transhumanist context 生存不是栖息:尤里·m·洛特曼的《尤利西斯》和他的超人类主义语境

Abstract This essay contextualizes the Dantean figure of Ulysses, as conceived by Yuri M. Lotman, and draws this key figure of modernity into a network of mutually interconnected discourses: primarily transhumanist visions of the human future in space, which nevertheless arise from the specifically modern epistemic dimension of “restlessness,” and intertwine with post-war astronautics, cyborg visions of human re-engineering, and revolutionary considerations of speculative realism. The key is Lotman’s emphasis on Ulysses as a figure of “energy of thought”; in this regard, the essay shows how the original poetic “decision,” embodied by the Ulysses figure, advocates implicit cruelty in the name of the future (treated as an inevitable fate), and how this decision generates a logical and progressively unfolding series of “inhuman” images of man situated in the universe as an event of saturation of matter with merciless intelligence.
本文将尤里·m·洛特曼构想的但丁式尤利西斯形象置于语境中,并将这个现代性的关键人物拉入一个相互关联的话语网络中:主要是人类在太空中的未来的超人类主义愿景,然而,这一愿景产生于“不安”的特定现代认知维度,并与战后航天学、人类再造的电子人愿景和思测现实主义的革命性考虑交织在一起。关键在于洛特曼强调尤利西斯是一个具有“思想能量”的人物;在这方面,本文展示了由尤利西斯形象所体现的最初的诗意“决定”如何以未来的名义提倡隐含的残忍(被视为不可避免的命运),以及这个决定如何产生一个逻辑的、逐步展开的一系列“不人道”的人的形象,这些人位于宇宙中,作为一个无情智慧的物质饱和事件。

Abstract Since 2007, Tomás Saraceno has been developing a project that aims to break out of the anthropocentric understanding of communication and coexistence with other animal organisms. In this article, I point out the importance of using modern visualization technologies to analyze and investigate the structure of communication frameworks and their modalities in the animal world, specifically using the example of spiders. The visualization of what is normally invisible to the eye and inaudible to the ear rearticulates the realm of the visible and the audible, which Saraceno then uses for art-critical purposes, with the aim of forming a new type of posthuman attunement to the environment and other animal species. The condition for outlining and articulating Saraceno’s artistic vision is the use of the latest technologies of visualization, which operate on the principle of digital and algorithmic code. They synthesize different planes of affectivity and transform, modulate, and combine the different modes of signs into a single technical-organic complex: they offer new ways of seeing and feeling the world. Thus, hybrid ecology in Saraceno’s case does not imply a return to primordial ways of life, but on the contrary, it forms a semiosphere attuned to a specific plane of consistency that enfolds distinct modes of signs and develops them into an expression of hitherto unsuspected variants of life.
自2007年以来,Tomás Saraceno一直在开发一个项目,旨在打破人类中心主义对与其他动物有机体交流和共存的理解。在本文中,我指出了使用现代可视化技术来分析和研究动物世界中通信框架的结构及其模式的重要性,特别是使用蜘蛛的例子。将通常肉眼看不见、耳朵听不到的事物可视化,重新阐释了可见和可听的领域,Saraceno随后将其用于艺术批判目的,目的是形成一种新型的后人类对环境和其他动物物种的协调。勾勒和表达Saraceno的艺术愿景的条件是使用最新的可视化技术,这些技术基于数字和算法代码的原则。它们综合了不同的情感平面,并将不同的符号模式转换、调节和组合成一个单一的技术有机综合体:它们提供了观察和感受世界的新方式。因此,在Saraceno的案例中,混合生态并不意味着回归原始的生活方式,相反,它形成了一个与特定的一致性平面相协调的符号圈,它包含了不同的符号模式,并将它们发展成迄今为止未被怀疑的生命变体的表达。

Abstract Peirce’s sign model is introduced as incompatible with structural semiology in the majority of semiotics textbooks. In this paper, I would like to argue against this general polarization of the semiotic discipline. I focus on compatibilities between Lucien Tesnière’s syntactic theory (verbal valency) and Peirce’s logic of relatives. My main argument is that structural linguistics is not necessarily dyadic, and that Peirce’s sign doctrine is perfectly structural. To define the structural approach in Peirce, I analyze the notions of form (structure) and substance in Hjelmslev and Peirce. The aim of my argument is to contribute to attempts to introduce Peirce’s theory to the field of linguistics in the hope that such an integration will be beneficiary for general linguistics. To extend and support my argument, I provide some examples from biology where Peirce’s theory has been applied. I demonstrate an analogy between the biological structures of proteins and the structure of a sentence with Peirce’s own writings. I consequently introduce Peirce as the first structural semiologist and as the first biolinguist.
在大多数符号学教科书中,皮尔斯的符号模型被认为与结构符号学不相容。在本文中,我想反对符号学学科的这种普遍两极分化。本文主要探讨了吕西安·特斯尼的句法理论(言语配价)与皮尔斯的亲属逻辑的相容性。我的主要观点是,结构语言学不一定是二元的,皮尔斯的符号学说是完美的结构。为了界定皮尔斯的结构方法,我分析了海姆斯列夫和皮尔斯的形式(结构)和实体的概念。我的论点的目的是为尝试将皮尔斯的理论引入语言学领域做出贡献,希望这种整合将对一般语言学有益。为了扩展和支持我的论点,我提供了一些应用Peirce理论的生物学例子。我用皮尔斯自己的作品展示了蛋白质的生物结构和句子结构之间的类比。因此,我介绍皮尔斯作为第一个结构符号学家和第一个生物语言学家。

Abstract In this paper, we try to build a semiotics of stereotypes through the key idea of enunciation. We investigate stereotypes of Persons with Disabilities in the context of social media networks (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) by adopting a semiotic perspective. The mainstream idea about stereotypes is that they are necessarily something negative, that must be avoided to maximize inclusivity and fairness. However, in our view, stereotypes are the background of our perception of the world, and we cannot escape from them, because when we leave behind a stereotype, it is only for adopting a new one built on different basis. Therefore, it is crucial to understand stereotypes and the way they are expressed, since they are one of the enunciating instances that circulate in the space of the Encyclopedia. Through a semiotic point of view, we will follow how stereotypes transform, showing the way they change the modes of existence of meanings, shifting between the virtualized, the potentialized, the actualized, and the realized. Analyzing a huge corpus of social network messages built by the partners of the European project MeMe (Me & the Media: Fostering Social Media Literacy competences through Interactive Learning Settings for Adults with Disabilities), we will show how the advent of social media affected the research field of disability studies. Later, we will point out the variations of the classic stereotypes that have been addressed in the new participatory context of social media through the semiotic theory of enunciation.
摘要本文试图通过表达这一核心概念来构建刻板印象符号学。我们采用符号学的观点,在社交媒体网络(如Facebook、Instagram)的背景下,研究了对残疾人的刻板印象。关于刻板印象的主流观点是,它们必然是负面的东西,必须避免,以最大限度地提高包容性和公平性。然而,在我们看来,刻板印象是我们感知世界的背景,我们无法摆脱它,因为当我们留下一个刻板印象时,只是为了采用一个建立在不同基础上的新刻板印象。因此,理解刻板印象及其表达方式是至关重要的,因为它们是百科全书中流传的明确实例之一。通过符号学的观点,我们将跟随刻板印象如何转变,展示它们如何改变意义的存在模式,在虚拟化、潜在化、实体化和实现之间转换。通过分析由欧洲项目MeMe(我与媒体:通过互动学习环境为残疾成年人培养社交媒体素养)合作伙伴建立的大量社交网络信息,我们将展示社交媒体的出现如何影响残疾研究领域。随后,我们将指出经典刻板印象的变化,这些刻板印象已经通过表达的符号学理论在社交媒体的新参与背景下得到解决。

Abstract The proposal presented here opens up the opportunity to discuss what attentive Barthesian eyes can tell us about this early twenty-first century. We discuss the following research question: If actors pay nothing to be on digital social networking sites, and if they are supposed to shape the digital environment, how do companies profit if such an assumed logic remains for them a subordinate place? The answer could not be more Barthesian. The culture of platforms, transformed into nature, mythifies digital life, pointing to the success of the capitalist Doxa: the internet is free and the users are the agents of the network, while in reality, platforms earn millions, and users are manipulated by dishonest product sales strategies and by the spread of fake news.
这里提出的建议为我们提供了一个机会,让我们讨论细心的巴尔塞斯的眼睛能告诉我们关于21世纪初的什么。我们讨论了以下研究问题:如果参与者不支付任何费用就可以出现在数字社交网站上,如果他们应该塑造数字环境,那么如果这种假设的逻辑对他们来说仍然是从属地位,公司如何获利?答案是巴塞斯式的。平台文化转化为自然,将数字生活神话化,指向资本主义Doxa的成功:互联网是免费的,用户是网络的代理人,而在现实中,平台赚取数百万美元,用户被不诚实的产品销售策略和假新闻的传播所操纵。
