14Communicology, Cybernetics, and Chiasm: A Synergism of Logic, Linguistics, and SemioticsIn Carlos Vidales & Søren Brier (eds.), Introduction to Cybersemiotics: A Transdisciplinary Perspective, Springer Verlag. pp. 161-191. 2021.The analysis takes up the conjunction of semiotics and cybernetics as a problem in theory construction in the human sciences. From a philosophical perspective, this is also the ontological problem of communicology: the disciplinary study of human communication. My analysis suggests current conceptions of “semiotics” and “cybernetics” are misunderstood because “information” is assumed as synonymous with “communication” and that the axioms of “mathematics” are identical to those of “logics”. The e…Read more

5Crossing Out Normative Boundaries in PsychosisAmerican Journal of Semiotics 35 (3/4): 335-364. 2019.The coding function of semiotic-systems in literature is explored as an example of Umberto Eco’s real and fictional protocols in the play of discourse formation (lector in fabula). The intricate phenomenological levels of intersemiotic translation (apposition, opposition, chiasm, zeugma) are illustrated by analyzing a rhetorical passage (semiotic object) from Charles Dickens’ novel Bleak House. The passage on the logic of series (“lists”) allows us to explore fact/fiction, real/imaginary, normal…Read more

23Perelman’s phenomenology of rhetoric: Foucault contests Chomsky’s complaint about media communicology in the age of Trump polemicSemiotica 2019 (229): 273-328. 2019.The analysis explores the main arguments of Noam Chomsky’s short book,Media Controlthat also reprints the monograph “The Journalist from Mars: How the ‘War on Terror’ Should Be Reported.” The problematic is Aristotelian rhetoric and Enlightenment rationality (justice) in civic discourse (Lógos) as compared to the thematic of dialogic reasonableness (Eulógos). Chomsky’s assumption of, and critique of, “old rhetoric” [Aristotle’srhētorikḗ] is followed by a discussion of Chiam Perelman’s “new rheto…Read more

4Speech Act PhenomenologySpringer. 1977.The nature and function of language as Man's chief vehicle of communi cation occupies a focal position in the human sciences, particularly in philosophy. The concept of 'communication' is problematic because it suggests both 'meaning' (the nature of language) and the activity of speaking (the function of language). The philosophic theory of 'speech acts' is one attempt to clarify the ambiguities of 'speech' as both the use of language to describe states of affair and the process in which that de…Read more

59The semiotic phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Michel FoucaultSign Systems Studies 33 (1): 7-25. 2005.Postmodern methodology in the human sciences and philosophy reverses the Aristotelian laws of thought such that (1) non-contradiction, (2) excluded middle, (3) contradiction, and (4) identity become the ground for analysis. The illustration of the postmodern logic is Peirce’s (1) interpretant, (2) symbol, (3) index, and (4) icon. The thesis is illustrated using the work of Merleau-Ponty and Foucault and the le même et l’autre discourse sign where the ratio [Self:Same :: Other:Different] explicat…Read more

Peirce on Phenomenology: Communicology, Codes, and Messages; or, Phenomenology, Synechism, and FallibilismAmerican Journal of Semiotics 30 (1/2): 139-158. 2014.Peirce uses the covering term Semiotic to include his major divisions of thought and communication process: Speculative Grammar, or the study of beliefs independent of the structure of language ; Exact Logic, or the study of assertion in relation to reality ; and Speculative Rhetoric, or the study of the general conditions under which a problem presents itself for solution . This division previews Peirce’s famous triadic models of analysis. Peirce goes on to make the phenomenological distinction…Read more

28Communicology is the study of human discourse in all of its forms, ranging from human gesture and speech to art and television. Commuicology also represents the dominant qualitative research paradigm in the discipline of human communication, especially in the applied areas of mass communication, philosophy of communication, and speech communication. Lanigan's work offers the bold and original thesis that Michel Foucault's thematic study of the discourse of desire and power is an elaboration of t…Read more
