<p>Donna West (PhD, Cornell University) is Professor of Linguistics at the State University of New York, Cortland. For nearly forty years she has presented and published internationally (70 plus articles/chapters) on Peirce’s semiotic. She currently serves on the Board of the International Association for Cognitive Semiotics, as well as on several editorial boards. Her 2013 book, Deictic Imaginings: Semiosis at Work and at Play, investigates the ontogeny of indexical signs. Her 2016 edited volume on Peirce’s concept of habit offers a fresh, global perspective (scholars from twelve nations). She is likewise editing the “Mathematics and Cognition” section for the Handbook on Cognitive Mathematics (2021)—her own contribution explores the formidable role of chunking in abductive rationality. Following the 2021 publication of two guest-edited journal issues on Peirce and consciousness (Cognitive Semiotics, Semiotica), her forthcoming book presents retrospective narratives as the scaffold toward Peirce’s retroductive logic.</p>

Genesis and Geltung
Get PDFTullio Viola – One of the most relevant aspects of your intellectual career is your reflection on the link between historical and normative arguments with regard to values. This reflection goes back at least to your 1997 book The Genesis of Values, and may be seen to culminate in the methodological chapter of your 2011 book on The Sacredness of the Person, in which you talk about the need for an “affirmative genealogy” of values.

Pragmatism and Anthropology
No full textAs research on the specific contours of a pragmatist anthropology is relatively new, this special issue intends to focus on the uniqueness of early American pragmatists’ anthropological reflections, with attention to their theoretical, political, and social-critical implications. In parallel, it aims to investigate the intersections of pragmatist anthropology with the cultural anthropology of the time, its points of continuity or discontinuity with other traditions of philosophical anthropology, as well as its possible exchanges with, and contributions to, contemporary anthropology’s elaboration of a pluralistic conception of nature

Histoires pragmatiques
Get PDFRoberto Gronda & Tullio Viola – Your work is frequently referred to as “pragmatic history.” This notion, however, is by no means a new one: Polybius spoke of pragmatikê historia, Germany had pragmatische Geschichte in the tradition of Kantian anthropology. Can you tell us something about how you understand this label, and about your own encounter with “pragmatic history”? Simona Cerutti – Personally, I had quite an idiosyncratic introduction to pragmatic history, although this encounter was n..
In conversation with Tullio Pericoli
Get PDFIs narrating with words an experience comparable to that of narrating with images? Can one exist without the other? Can there be a visual imagination without the words that mold us or a verbal experience that is free from the images that we carry inside? In his long and successful career Tullio Pericoli has never ceased to contemplate these questions, and has answered them with his art, his curiosity, his extraordinary ability to watch and listen to faces, behaviors, but also trees, clouds, soil. As a political and cultural cartoonist, as illustrator of literary works, as a world-famous author of writers’ portraits, as landscape painter, set designer, and finally as a theorist of his own artwork, Pericoli teaches us that behind every stroke of the pen or the brush, there are a thousand stories. With lucidity and generosity, Pericoli opens the gates of his art and invites the curious viewer to stroll between the lines of his paintings – lines which, as he likes to say, have a history, a physiognomy, a grammar and even an interiority
RDF Graph Visualization Tools: a Survey
No full textWeb technologies are increasingly being used for the development of Future Internet applications, mainly due to the impressive growth of the Internet of Things research area. This spread pushes for effective and efficient ways to visualize the content of RDF ontologies and knowledge bases. Several strategies can be adopted to visualize semantic data and one of this consists in exploiting the graph representation intrinsic in the RDF model. In this paper, we propose a survey of the main tools for the graphical visualization of triples (being them terminological or assertional statements) exploiting a graph representation
