Salutare tuturor și bine v-am regăsit la un nou episod din seria noastră de masterclass despre comunicare, realizat împreună cu profesorul Dumitru Borțun. În acest episod, mergem mai adânc în știința comunicării și explorăm concepte fascinante care ne ajută să înțelegem mai bine cum funcționează acest proces complex.Începem cu o discuție despre responsabilitatea generațiilor și importanța societății deschise, inspirați de ideile lui Karl Popper. Apoi, intrăm în miezul subiectului, analizând modele clasice de comunicare precum cel al lui Lasswell și Shannon-Weaver.Un moment important al episodului este dedicat funcțiilor comunicării, așa cum au fost ele definite de Roman Jakobson. Discutăm despre funcția expresivă, persuasivă, referențială, fatică, metalingvistică și poetică, oferind exemple concrete pentru fiecare.În a doua parte a episodului, ne concentrăm pe concepte mai avansate precum bagajul cultural și cunoașterea tacită, explorând cum acestea influențează modul în care percepem și interpretăm mesajele.Încheiem cu o discuție fascinantă despre limbaj ca instrument de gândire și cunoaștere, comparând diferite limbi și analizând cum acestea pot influența exprimarea ideilor și sentimentelor.00:00 Introducere și Reflecții asupra Generațiilor00:57 Responsabilitatea Generațiilor Noi01:13 Importanța Societății Deschise03:07 Discuție despre Comunicarea Eficientă03:12 Cunoașterea Științifică vs. Cunoașterea Comună05:47 Critica Istoricismului de Karl Popper09:12 Reclamă și Importanța Energiei Verzi09:58 Provocările Generațiilor și Comunicarea12:25 Raționalizarea Instituțiilor și Comunicării16:00 Exemple de Moralitate și Societate25:23 Modelul de Comunicare al lui Laswell31:06 Puterea Indignării31:42 Învățarea Emoțională și Schimbarea Cognitivă32:11 Impactul Comunicării Emoționale32:52 Fumatul și Imaginea de Sine35:58 Povești Personale despre Renunțarea la Fumat37:36 Riscurile de Sănătate ale Fumatului și Alcoolului39:00 Strategii de Comunicare și Sănătate Publică45:23 Rolul Zgomotului în Comunicare47:05 Modelul de Comunicare al lui Shannon și Weaver49:29 Importanța Contextului și Codului54:11 Funcțiile Comunicării58:59 Autocomunicare și Etica în Comunicare59:22 Promisiunea de a Vorbi despre Idei01:00:21 Funcția Empatică și Fatică în Relații01:06:38 Funcția Metanivistică și Metalimbajul01:14:13 Funcția Poetică și Arta Comunicării01:18:08 Rolul și Așteptările în Comunicare01:24:06 Semnificația Mesajului și Bagajul Cultural01:25:24 Bagajul Cultural și Emanciparea01:25:43 Decodificarea Realității: Semiotică și Percepție01:27:49 Interpretări Istorice Greșite: Cucerirea Spaniolă01:31:27 Structuri Simbolice și Tipuri de Inteligență01:44:14 Perspective Lingvistice: Precizie, Poezie și Echilibru01:50:00 Gânduri de Încheiere despre Limbaj și Comunicare

Today I am speaking with Matthieu Di Mercurio, VP of Product and Strategy at StreamingFast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A note on 'semiotic physics', published by metasemi on February 11, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Introduction This is an attempt to explain to myself the concept of semiotic physics that appears in the original Simulators post by janus and in a later post by Jan Hendrik Kirchner. Everything here comes from janus and Jan's work, but any inaccuracies or misinterpretations are all mine. TL;DR The prototypical simulator, GPT, is sometimes said to "predict the next token" in a text sequence. This is accurate, but incomplete. It's more illuminating to consider what happens when GPT, or any simulator, is run repeatedly to produce a multi-token forward trajectory, as in the familiar scenario of generating a text completion in response to a prompt. The token-by-token production of output is stochastic, with a branch point at every step, making the simulator a multiverse generator analogous to the time evolution operator of quantum mechanics. In this analogical sense, a simulator such as GPT implements a "physics" whose "elementary particles" are linguistic tokens. When we experience the generated output text as meaningful, the tokens it's composed of are serving as semiotic signs. Thus we can refer to the simulator's physics-analogue as semiotic physics. We can explore the simulator's semiotic physics through experimentation and careful observation of the outputs it actually produces. This naturalistic approach is complementary to analysis of the model's architecture and training. Though GPT's outputs often contain remarkable renditions of the real world, the relationship between semiotic physics and quantum mechanics remains analogical. It's a misconception to think of semiotic physics as a claim that the simulator's semantic world approximates or converges on the real world. Trajectories GPT, the prototypical simulator, is often said to "predict the next token" in a sequence of text. This is true as far as it goes, but it only partially describes typical usage, and it misses a dynamic that's essential to GPT's most impressive performances. Usually, we don't simply have GPT predict a single token to follow a given prompt; we have it roll out a continuous passage of text by predicting a token, appending that token to the prompt, predicting another token, appending that, and so on. Thinking about the operation of the simulator within this autoregressive loop better matches typical scenarios than thinking about single token prediction, and is thus a better fit to what we typically mean when we talk about GPT. But there's more to this distinction than descriptive point of view. Crucially, the growing sequence of prompt+output text, repeatedly fed back into the loop, preserves information and therefore constitutes state, like the tape of a Turing machine. In the Simulators post, janus writes: I think that implicit type-confusion is common in discourse about GPT. “GPT”, the neural network, the policy that was optimized, is the easier object to point to and say definite things about. But when we talk about “GPT's” capabilities, impacts, or alignment, we're usually actually concerned about the behaviors of an algorithm which calls GPT in an autoregressive loop repeatedly writing to some prompt-state... The Semiotic physics post defines the term trajectory to mean the sequence of tokens—prompt plus generated-output-so-far—after each iteration of the autoregressive loop. In semiotic physics, as is common in both popular and technical discourse, by default we talk about GPT as a generator of (linguistic) trajectories, not context-free individual tokens. Simulators are multiverse generators GPT's token-by-token production of a trajectory is stochastic: at each autoregressive step, the trained model generates an output probability distribution over the token vocabulary, samples from t...

Luke and Alex talk about semiotic domains and learning from video games.In our first companion podcast, Alex and Luke talk about Luke's Low Five Education Project article on semiotic domains in further detail. A brief history and bio of author James Paul Gee is given before explaining his concept of semiotic domains and the active learning that takes place when playing video games. Although Gee's work in his book, What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy, holds up today, the video game references and examples within are very much outdated. (This is to be expected given its original publishing was in 2003.) After going over some major points on domain learning and how it influenced the education project, Alex and Luke each highlight more modern video games that exemplify semiotic domain learning. Luke comes in with a particularly social studies and classroom specific context, while Alex highlights games that more casual or at home players may enjoy.Games highlighted within the podcast include: Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Cities Skylines, Baba is You, Empire of Sin, and more. Participation and feedback is encouraged!Access Luke's capstone project at lowfivegaming.com/education.Join the Low Five Gaming Discord.Have questions?

"I think every encounter with the patient is a potential re-humanizing experience, also for me as a therapist. Because when we are slowly experiencing this kind of positive emotion, especially when it comes to turning points, where the patient  realizes that it is possible to trust another human being, that is a really remarkable experience with these patients who have all reasons to not believe that it is possible to trust other people - who have been disappointed, failed and maltreated so many times. So that is a re-humanizing experience that happens between the therapist and the patient -  this is the best way to describe the process of a positive outcome of this type of psychoanalytic therapy because they have been dehumanized in so many ways and to such a degree, that for some of them it is a wonder to have normal feeling left."    Episode Description: We begin by appreciating Sverre's work on the torture-induced impingements on intrapsychic meaning-making. We also learn about the role of community and culture in supporting renewed meaning-making - a vital aspect of rehuminazation. We consider the case of Hassan and come to understand the impact on him of the horrific abuses he suffered and what it means to the analyst who comes to hear about and 'experience' such depths of depravity. We discuss survivor guilt, mourning, and disillusionment. Sverre shares with us aspects of his own childhood that have contributed to his interest in this work. We conclude with learning about the Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society and its involvement in assisting colleagues in Ukraine.   Our Guest: Sverre Varvin, MD, Dr. Philos is a training analyst at the Norwegian Psychoanalytical Society. He is a professor emeritus at Oslo Metropolitan University. He has had several positions in IPA. Currently, he is chair of the IPA China Committee and a member of the refugee subcommittee of the Humanitarian Field committee. He has been working with traumatized refugees for more than 30 years: clinically, with research, and in the humanitarian field. He has done human rights work as chair of the Norwegian Medical Association's committee on human rights in the Balkans (former Yugoslavia), Turkey, and China. He has tried to understand the impact of atrocities on individuals and groups and has been specially occupied with dehumanization and re-humanization.   Dr. Varvin will be a keynote speaker at the IPA Congress in Cartegena, Colombia in July 2023.   The Congress website is www.ipa.world/cartagena   Recommended Readings: JOHANSEN, J. & VARVIN, S. 2019.

►Today we are talking with Dimitris Lazarou is a Brand Identity designer. After studying mathematics, he decided to change his focus into design, semiotics and symbolism. ATTENTION: TLDR: Audio in start is meh, but gets a LOT better later on. The interview had amazing topics, and was super engaging. However we did have various technical difficulties. I want to mention to you the viewer that the beginning has some weird audio to it, but I fixed it as much as I could. As well as, it gets better when we switched tools later on! He has made it his mission to harness the way that we use design to communicate our messages. We are here to talk about semiotics - the study of signs & symbols, the connection of math and design, Molecular Branding, and the beauty of the universal language of math.

In this episode we talk about creativity in language and visual communication. We published many of the images and logos we mention on our website, http://wordsactions.blog. Here you can find the full transcript, too.  In the first part of the episode, Erika mentions the following study on how colour influences investment decisions:  Chan, C. R., & Park, H. D. (2015). How images and color in business plans influence venture investment screening decisions. Journal of Business Venturing, 30(5), 732-748. Veronika published some of her work on the links between colour and language in this article:  Koller, V. (2008a). ‘Not just a colour’: Pink as a gender and sexuality marker in visual communication. Visual Communication, 7(4), 433-461.  Moving on to individual logos, here are  the Toblerone bear and the crest of the city of Bern. Veronika’s research on city brands, including a categorisation of their logos, was published as Koller, V. (2008b). ‘The world in one city’: Semiotic and cognitive aspects of city branding. Journal of Language and Politics, 7(3), 431-450.  We specifically mention the logos of three places where we live or were born, resp.: Ghent (Belgium), Dunaszerdahely (Slovakia) and Stroud (UK). We also discuss what changes in logos and type fonts can signalise, and Veronika mentions the case of Lancaster University, which had such a change in 2014. Some fonts can indeed elicit strong reactions, as evidenced on the website comicsanscriminal.com. The form and connotations of type fonts were theorised by Theo van Leeuwen: van Leeuwen, T. (2006). Towards a semiotics of typography. Information Design Journal, 14(2), 139-155.  For a general interest read, try this book:  Garfield, S. (2010). Just My Type: A book about fonts. London: Profile Books.  Bernard then reveals a different side of himself when he talks about the irregular type fonts and idiosyncratic spelling used by heavy metal bands. At the end of the first part, we talk about names for a company and Erika mentions a study showing a correlation between length of a domain name and visits to a website.  In the interview, Chris Arning mentions, among other works that have influenced him: Jakobson, R. (1981). Linguistics and poetics. In Selected Writings. Berlin: de Gruyter Mouton, pp. 18-51.  In the third part of the episode, we analyse linguistic creativity on the website visiticeland.com. This is not an overview website but one to be explored through interacting with it, so have a look. Erika observed that the designers seemed to have followed a model developed under the name of ‘brand linguistics’: Carnevale, M., Luna, D., & Lerman, D. (2017). Brand linguistics: A theory-driven framework for the study of language in branding. International Journal of Research in Marketing, 34(2), 572-591. The red thread for this episode has been travel. You can take a flight of fancy and read about the language and semiotics of luxury destinations here Thurlow, C., & Jaworski, A. (2012) Elite mobilities: The semiotic landscapes of luxury and privilege.  Social Semiotics, 22(4), 487-516 or learn about Gosia Drewniok’s research on the language branding of luxury hotels here – happy travels and see you again for the next episode.

The idea of community is changing, or perhaps community needs to become a revamped idea. Community is on the decline in the modern world. The village becomes the city, the old deep allegiance to family becomes unfashionable, and religion ceases to be the central pivot of communal life. It’s no secret that the traditional social institutions have new and lesser meanings. In some places and for many people, village and family are still the main sources of belonging. But many things have been changing, for centuries now, first in the industrialized countries and increasingly in the developing world. Urbanization has been going for 200 years and shows no signs of stopping; the majority of the people in the world now live in a city. So the village really is in decline, and ease of transport and the lure of far-away gold fragments families on a practical if not personal level. Community is no longer automatic; a support system for daily identity can no longer be assumed. We understand that we have to sort out food and shelter for ourselves; we talk about looking for work. We also see that we need to belong somewhere, yet we don’t talk about looking for community. Or making it, because true community requires a reciprocation that is antithetical to the consumer mentality. Markets are specifically designed to be impersonal.We need to find people to associate with and learn to care for. We need to build new villages, new families that will flourish in the concrete hustle of a city.Signs, meanings and codes, however, do not come into existence of their own. Semiotics-visualizations of the commonalities between people are, potentially, a new way to represent and understand the public — that is, ourselves.Semiotics, the interpretation of signs and symbols, helps decipher those subconscious elements.

Language is inextricably linked to land. In this episode, we explore how the shifts in the landscape have impacted language across generations and cultures. Featuring: “Translation (a prayer)” by John Isaiah Edward Hill “During the drought the road is dry” by Bartosz Panek John Isaiah Edward Hill is writing a poem to the generations passed and the generations to come in the Oneida language that’s been threatened by settler colonial violence. In their piece “Translation (a prayer)”, we hear two voices: the English voice which is static and unmoving, and the Oneida voice, which moves in a counter-clockwise motion, representative of traditional Haudenosaunee dance practices.  ~ In Poland, drought has wrecked havoc on the landscape. 2019 was the hottest year on record in Poland, and it’s affecting their entire way of life from water, the soil, food and energy prices. These shifts have meant a shift in the language used to describe water, heat and dryness. In Bartosz Panek’s piece “During the drought the road is dry” he explores how old words are being given a new context alongside the changing climate. Transcript for “During the drought the road is dry” is below. [8:49 - 9:00] During the drought the road is dry.   [9:10 - 9:15] During the drought the road is dry.   [9:20 - 9:25] During the drought the road is dry.   [9:34 - 9:34] Can you see the drought?   [9:34 - 9:54] So you know... in a place like this it will be seen there... Take a look there, where's upper: dryness has just been appeared. So it’s visible. If the whole area, the grass here, is burned by the sky, it’s obvious there’s the drought.     [10:03 - 10:33] Nope! It's not so bad now. In my backyard I have a garden with some vegetables and it was visible You just need to dig your finger into the soil and you know if it’s dry or humid. So when the vegetation started in May and June, there was a kind of crisis. But not now.   [11:50 - 11:59] Damn deckchair. The drought exhorted great havoc. Raspberry season is almost over… [14:20 - 14:39] Sasha is treading down a dry road,
He can hardly walk, that’s a forebode.
The heat is pouring out of the sky,
During the drought the road is dry. [24:09 - 24:17] Dry across, dry out, dry over, dry totally…

Semiotic Shift: It means a shift in the way the world is figured and shaped at the most basic level, the level at which the signs that give and convey meaning are generated.

“I thought I should be sensitive, accessible and alive, in order to enable the baby to wake up and to start moving something inside that will bring up her potentials and start to BE.”   Description: Harvey Schwartz welcomes Hamutal Raz Shiloach clinical psychologist and a training and supervising psychoanalyst at the Israeli Psychoanalytic Society. She is a founder and director of the Multicultural Center for Parent-Infant Psychotherapy in Yafo, Israel, which will be the focus for our conversation today. She teaches widely in Israel. This is not surprising because after listening to today’s episode you will hear a master clinician describing her involvement with a very challenging situation with a mother and a young daughter. They are an affectively frozen mother and a frozen daughter, and Hamutal brings not only deep emotional connection to the work with this couple but also deeply thought out cognitive thinking about it as well. It isn’t often that you ́ll find the two combined. There are clinicians who feel very strongly about the work and there are those who think very deeply about the work. It is special when you find someone who does both.   Key takeaways: [3:27] The challenges of running a multicultural daycare center. [6:13] Full day program for children at risk who are taken care by welfare authorities. [7:20] The language and cultural challenge. [9:02] The particularities about the mother-baby early bond in the African cultural. [11:46] The presence over the word. [14:10] Kinds of problems seen at the daycare center. [15:59] Working with the Arab population in Israel with Arab clinicians. [17:40] Clinical example. [30:20] The psychoanalytic intervention through listening and actions. [33:13] The importance of body language and primitive features in the work with babies. [33:45] Hamutal Raz Shiloach talks about her career journey and how she started working in this project.     Mentioned in this episode: IPA Off the Couch www.ipaoffthecouch.org   Recommended Readings: Interview Bibliography   Dalley, T.  (2010) Containment of trauma: Working in the community.

Across the campus and beyond the walls of the Last University, the gathering masses are holding their breath and asking themselves questions: What does the Wizard Arrell’s conduit mean for Hadrian and his family, and how can Throndir help to protect them? How can Lem ease his Emmanuel’s concern for an adventurer like him? How, wonders Fero, might a god grieve for his father? What money should a career thief like Adaire… or Blake Bromley not take? Who yet moves in that old Forge, which Ephrim knows too well? Who or what is stirring under starlight, and will Hella’s blade be sharp enough for it? But these are questions of the few. The many voice other fears: How can the University serve the needs of the many when its own resources are so paltry? And if they cannot serve them, to whom will the people turn? An absent god? His wounded son? Who? This week on Spring in Hieron: A Simple Answer True TELEPORTATION is, without measure, the most dangerous and trying spell not explicitly created for violent ends and is thus the small purview of only the most advanced mages of the University… and reportedly some who study the so-called SEMIOTIC practices of the New Archives.

An important theoretical underpinning of biosemiotics is the semiotic philosophy of American scientist and semiotician Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) and his observation that ‘the universe is perfused with signs’. Semiotic biology was born from a similar insight, that living systems – cells, organisms, and ecologies – are not mechanical but are scaffolded by semiosis. Semiotic systems characterise life throughout. Sign relations are responsible for the efficacy of biological systems as much as they are for abstract human conceptual systems. All obey the same triadic Peircean semiotic logic. As Norbert Wiener long ago implied about information in cybernetic systems, such informational, or in living things semiotic, relations require material bearers (codes and channels), but are, themselves, immaterial. All sign relations are manifested in von Uexküllian semiotic species umwelten, and while these (including the human) are thus necessarily incomplete models of reality (there being, as Thomas Nagel has noted, ‘no view from nowhere’), sign relations nonetheless form a semiotic bridge between mind and nature, subject and object, and intentional concept and reality. This is the case for every living organism: semiotic relations bridge the supposed gap between mind and body, culture and nature, and idealism and realism. Wendy Wheeler is Professor Emeritus of English Literature and Cultural Inquiry at London Metropolitan University. She is also a Visiting Professor at Goldsmiths and RMIT in Melbourne. In 2014, she gave the first annual University of Tartu Jakob von Uexküll Lecture to the European Association for the Study of Literature, Culture and the Environment in Estonia. She is the author of four books, two on biosemiotics, and many essays on the same topic in journals and edited collections. She is on the editorial boards of several journals – New Formations, Green Letters, Cybernetics and Human Knowing, and Biosemiotics – and is currently completing her fifth monograph The Flame and Its Shadow: Reflections on Nature and Culture from a Biosemiotic Perspective.

September 10, 2010 War Crimes Research Symposium Frederick K. Cox International Law Center Case Western Reserve University School of Law Moderator: Prof. Tawia Ansah, Visiting Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law Speakers: Prof. Wouter Werner, VU University, Amsterdam Prof. Susan Tiefenbrun, Thomas Jefferson School of Law Summary: Traditionally "Lawfare" was defined as "a strategy of using—or misusing—law as a substitute for traditional military means to achieve an operational objective." But lately, commentators and governments have applied the concept to International Criminal Tribunals, the defense counsel's tactics challenging the detention of al Qaeda suspects in Guantanamo Bay, and as indicated in the quote above to the controversial Goldstone Commission Report. This symposium and Experts Meeting, featuring two-dozen leading academics, practitioners, and former government officials from all sides of the political spectrum, will examine the usefulness and appropriate application of the "Lawfare" concept.

Written Communication Editor Christina Haas talks to John Oddo about his article from the July 2013 special issue, 'Discourse-Based Methods Across Texts and Semiotic Modes: Three Tools for Micro-Rhetorical Analysis.'

Abstract Within a variety of language-related disciplines, there is growing commitment to more holistic and ecologically oriented frameworks that recognize cognition and communication as coordinated, embodied, relational, distributed, and arrayed across mutable patterns of activity that emerge at different time scales. To date, however, such efforts have been primarily oriented toward theoretical and/or research contexts. Applying principles expressed in cultural-historical and ecological approaches to development (Bateson, 1972; Engeström & Sannino, 2010; van Lier, 2004), extended and embodied cognition (Atkinson, 2010; Clark, 2008), and recent scholarship produced by distributed language theorists (e.g., Raczaszek-Leonardi & Cowley, 2012; Fusaroli & Tylén, 2012; Thibault, 2011), this talk presents a design approach to language learning that is rooted in ecological understandings of cognition, language, and environment. A number of diverse projects and cases will be described: The first involves the use of corpus-based resources to support the development of intercultural discourse competence. The second project outlines the intertextual dynamics of event-driven communication, as well as engagement with attendant discourses, that comprise the semiotic ecology of massively multiplayer online gaming environments. A third case study reports on an experimental and currently in progress plurilingual augmented reality game project, the primary objective of which is to semiotically remediate (e.g., Prior, 2010) local places and embed language learning resources in phenomenologically rich and embodied experience in the world. These diverse empirical contexts reveal the complexities of languaging activity at the intersection of time, place, and space, and also suggest that the superordinate goals of language education are to catalyze anticipatory dispositions, build recipient-aware interactional capacities, and more broadly, to cultivate semiotic agility.

Awad Ibrahim, University of Ottawa. The aim in this presentation is to explore and think through what is being called Global Hip-Hop Nation Language (GHHNL). Halifu Osumare’s notion of connective marginality and the notion of métissage will be the frame of reference. Connective marginality contends that, globally, Hip-Hop resonates with young people across four main fields: culture, social class, historical oppression, and youth rebellion; and métissage is a boundary-pushing notion of hybridity where languages, oralities, and cultures are rubbing against each other; and whose end result is a radically localized Hip-Hop. The presentation will offer four examples that show how globally marginal communities use Hip-Hop as their ‘passport’ into the Global Hip-Hop Nation, where GHHNL is their access. The first example shows that: the so-called “Arab Spring Revolution” started with a Hip-Hop song, Head of State. The second example demonstrates that, in Brazil, Hip-Hop single handedly brought the question of race and racialization (not to say racial inequality and racism) to the center of public discourse; Hip-Hop has become the voice of the favelas. The third example is from Japan, where Hip-Hop was so influential that it introduced rhymes into the Japanese language that did not exist before the introduction of Hip-Hop. The last example is from Hong Kong, where the Cantonese language, which was considered taboo to speak, is now a mainstream language and accepted by most people in Hong Kong, thanks to Hip-Hop. The talk will conclude with remarks on what pedagogical lesson we can draw from these examples, especially for cosmopolitanism and citizenship studies. It is time to ‘flip the script’ and wonder not so much about the ‘impact of globalization’ but what people do with (the semiotic of) globalization; that is, how they translate, make sense, and eventually creolize, indigenize and localize the global.
