The authors outline the topic of visuality in the 21st century in a trans- and interdisciplinary theoretical frame from philosophy through communication theory, rhetoric and linguistics to pedagogy. As some scholars of visual communication state, there is a significant link between the downgrading of visual sense making and a dominantly linguistic view of cognition. According to the concept of linguistic turn, everything has its meaning because we attribute meaning to it through language. Our entire world is set in language, and language is the model of human activities. This volume questions the approach in the imagery debate.

Описание:
The interest of nineteenth-century Lakotas in the Sun, the Moon, and the stars was an essential part of their never-ending quest to understand their world. The Spirit and the Sky presents a survey of the ethnoastronomy of the nineteenth-century Lakotas and relates Lakota astronomy to their cultural practices and beliefs. The center of Lakota belief is the incomprehensible, extraordinary, and sacred nature of the world in which they live. The earth beneath and the stars above constitute their holistic world.
Mark Hollabaugh offers a detailed analysis of aspects of Lakota culture that have a bearing on Lakota astronomy, including telling time, their names for the stars and constellations as they appeared from the Great Plains, and the phenomena of meteor showers, eclipses, and the aurora borealis. Hollabaugh’s explanation of the cause of the aurora that occurred at the death of Black Elk in 1950 is a new contribution to ethnoastronomy.

Описание: Interest in the enigma of the human mind is as old as recorded history. Methods for studying the human mind, which have advanced alongside of technology, should also be approached from the perspective of semiotics—the science of signs and sign systems. Semiotic Perspectives in Evolutionary Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, and the Study of Mind: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential scholarly publication that revisits key concepts in the study of mind today, especially as it relates to the concept of intelligence and its modeling in artificial and augmented paradigms. Additionally, the book aims to penetrate the qualities of natural intelligence based on semiotic theory including the role of the imagination and inferential guesswork in creating knowledge and will show how a semiotic approach to intelligence can shed light on the dangers inherent in post-humanism and its nonchalant view that human intelligence is not unique but just another algorithm. Featuring a wide range of topics including neuroscience, sociobiology, and evolutionary psychology, this book is ideal for academicians, professionals, researchers, and students working in AI, psychology, cognitive sciences, semiotics, and culture studies.

Описание:
Interrogating the relatively new field of cognitive semiotics, this book explores shared issues in cognitive science and semiotics. Building on research from recent decades, Per Aage Brandt investigates the potential of a cognitive semiotic approach to enhance our understanding of language, thought and semiosis in general.
Introducing a critical, non-standard approach both to cognitive science and to semiotics, this book discusses the understanding of meaning and mind through four major dimensions; mental architecture, mental spaces, discourse coherence and eco-organization. Encompassing a rich variety of topics and debates, Cognitive Semiotics outlines several bridges between 'continental' and 'analytic' thinking in the study of semantics, pragmatics, discourse and the philosophy of language and mind.
Описание: By integrating ideas of Peirce, Buhler, Bakhtin, Piaget and Jakobson, in this book the author defines three linguistic supertypes each operating with either the situation in reality, the speaker`s experience of it or his condensed information to the hearer.

Описание: Through an ethnographic study of a Papua New Guinea cultural group, Geoffrey Saxe traces the emergence of numerical representations and ideas as people participate in collective practices of daily life. His findings will be useful for understanding shifting representational forms and emerging cognitive functions in any human community.
