From Biosemiotics to Semiotics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Biosemiotics and Semiotics have similarities and differences. Both deal with signal and meaning. One difference is that Biosemiotics covers a domain (life) that is less complex that the one addressed by Semiotics (human).

The landscape is a trap: Duck decoys as multispecies atmospheres of deception and betrayal

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2024.
Short Abstract Duck decoys are trapping devices set in a broader landscape designed to catch ducks. This is done through complex but ambiguous relationships of deception and betrayal involving ducks, dogs and decoymen. The ambiguity of duck decoys continues in new ways, as they are either used to monitor waterfowl biodiversity or preserved as heritage.

open access: yesSign Systems Studies, 2020
This paper is a study in the ‘philosophy of semiotics’. It is centred on a critical approach to the Peircean sign conception, which underlies biosemiotics and the global perspective on signs.

Limitations on applying Peircean semeiotic. Biosemiotics as applied objective ethics and esthetics rather than semeiotic. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper explores the critical conditions of such semiotic realism that is commonly presumed in the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of biosemiotics. The central task is to make basic biosemiotic concepts as clear as possible by applying C.S. Peirce’

The circle and the maze: two images of ecosemiotics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This article compares the work of Jakob von Uexküll and Charles S. Peirce to elucidate two contrasting yet connected images of ecosemiotics. The intent is not simply to oppose their work, but to explore a tension which has implications for the ethical ...

Archaeological approaches to RNA virus evolution

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 602, Issue 11, Page 2469-2478, 1 June 2024.
Abstract figure legend Molecular tools and concepts from phylosophy of language and archaeology for the search of ancient RNA elements in the current cell. Abstract Studies with RNA enzymes (ribozymes) and protein enzymes have identified certain structural elements that are present in some cellular mRNAs and viral RNAs.

Everything seems so settled here: The conceivability of post-Peircean biosemiotics

open access: yesSign Systems Studies, 2019
Theory change is a slow, tortuous process. Problems associated with how we communicate ideas and how these ideas are received by our peers become catalysts for change in how we ourselves perceive and sanction what the discipline is capable of doing. Some
