Biosemiotics, 2008
This paper examines the biosemiotic approach to the study of life processes by fashioning a series of questions that any worthwhile semiotic study of life should ask. These questions can be understood simultaneously as: (1) questions that distinguish a semiotic biology from a non-semiotic (i.e., reductionist–physicalist) one; (2) questions that any ...

Biosemiotics and Bioluminescence
Chinese Semiotic Studies, 2014Abstract Biosemiotics holds that all forms of life are capable of interpretation. Regardless of the complexity of the inner world of the organism there is always found some rudimentary negotiation of code duality or the presence of incompatible codes, which necessitates a sort of ‘translation’ of those codes into meaningful action.

This article examines the concept of biosemiotic criticism. It contrasts biosemiotics with the semiology of Ferdinand de Saussure and provides an overview of biosemiotics as a synthetic biological discipline. It describes how the emergence of biosemiotics widened the sphere of semiotic processes to embrace all living organisms on Earth and offers a ...

Dans son ouvrage intitule Signs, Language, and Behavior (1946), C. Morris offre une description generale du signe englobant tout ce qui appartient au monde de la vie. Il poursuit cette description en introduisant un appareil terminologique de type biologique permettant de parler des signes des animaux et des hommes. Dans cet article, l'A.

Introducing biosemiotic ethics
Zeitschrift fur Semiotik, 2015In this introduction to the special issue on Biosemiotic Ethics, we introduce major concepts and themes corresponding to the topic. With reference to Ivar Puura's notion of "semiocide", we ask: what are the ethical responsibilities that attention to semiotics carries?

Semiotica, 2004
The notions of ‘modeling’ and ‘interrelation’ play a pivotal role in Sebeok’s biosemiotics. In dialogue with Thomas A. Sebeok’s doctrine of signs, we propose to inquire into the action of modeling and interrelation in biosemiosis over the planet Earth, developing the concept of interrelation in terms of ‘dialogism’.

Biosemiotics, 2008
The discovery of the genetic code took place between 1961 and 1966, and almost immediately inspired the idea of a deep link between biology and semiotics. The manifesto of this new synthesis was written by George and Muriel Beagle in 1966 with a single simple sentence: “The deciphering of the genetic code has revealed our possession of a language much ...

Some of the cultural implications of biosemiotics are already inherent in semiotics. One of these is the ‘levelling of the playing field’ that semiotics effected. That is to say, in its interrogation of culture semiotics led the way in de-valorising all cultural artefacts, including those which have been said to have been born with, achieved or had ...
