A TECCOGS, Revista Digital de Tecnologias Cognitivas, tem o prazer receber Professor Kalevi Kull, eminente biossemioticista do Departamento Semiótica da Universidade Tartu, Estônia, como convidado para comentar tópico “Semiose Vírus”. Esse tema procura responder se os vírus, coronarívus Covid-19, propaga-se através processos semióticos, ou seja, por semioses.A chave desta questão recai no conce...

However, our proposal emphasizes natural selection of joint gesture-s...

An attempt is made to show where linguistics as the study of signs went wrong, and an unorthodox account of the nature of semiosis is proposed in the framework of autopoiesis as a new e...

The complex systems principle of self-organization provides a new way of understanding the behavioral dynamics behind the emergent, spontaneous exchanges of musical performance. In biological self-organization, energy is expended in the form of work which operates to maintain order in a system, collectively constraining the possible behaviors the components of the system can exhibit. When two s...

These two realities are examined within the three Peircean modal categories of Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness. The paper concludes that our world cannot operate within either of the two physical realities but instead fi...
