Indicalità e realismo nella semiotica di Peirce Università http://www.amazon.es/linguaggio-Indicalità-semiotica-Univers... For Charles Sanders Peirce, indexicality is one of three sign modalities (see further down), and is a phenomenon far broader than language; that which, independently of interpretation, points to something — such as smoke (an index of fire) or a pointing finger — works indexically for interpretation. Social indexicality in the human realm has been regarded as including any sign (clothing, speech variety, table manners) that points to, and helps create, social identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexicality Often referred to in terminology building on C.S. Peirce's semiotics as 'indexical realism -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2013-06-04 11:55:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.google.es/search?q=Indexicality realism semiotic... https://www.google.es/search?q=Indicalità realismo semiotica... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2013-06-04 11:59:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Charles, I wouldn't say "an indexicality", but "an example of indexicality", also have a look at "an artwork" which sounds weird to me. Maybe of a work of art? |
