First, a brief review of cognitive sociology will be given with regards to the absence of the concept of carnal body, due to a complete preoccupation of the discipline with ‘the body from the neck up’. Secondly, several reasons will be given for the absence of the concept of the carnal body in sociology in general. Thirdly, the author will give the arguments for the concept of cognitive body agency by referring to communication theory and by accepting the body as a material force in its own right.

The structure of our thinking is based on the map of mediations proposed by Martín-Barbero: we start from the discussion about the cultural matrices of advertising to reach the issues of communication contracts updated by contemporary forms of communication linked to consumption. This theoretical approach aims to delimit the focus of interest in studies of publicization — a concept that covers the mutations of the strategies involving persuasive communication of the corporations, brands and goods.

O homem nas teias da comunicação midiática: uma análise de O Show de Truman

This text analyzes the cinematographic representation to discuss relative questions to the communication, the media and the consumption. Based on authors as Mikhail Bakhtin, Guy Debord, Michel de Certeau and Wolfgang Fritz Haug, the author develops a reflection about the relation between the man and the media, the language as mediation, the society of the spectacle and the everyday life.

consumidores, produtores, mercadorias e fluxos de comunicação. A estrutura de nossa reflexão é organizada em torno do modelo proposto por Martín-Barbero: partimos da discussão sobre as Matrizes Culturais da publicidade, para chegar às questões dos contratos comunicacionais atualizados pelas formas contemporâneas da comunicação vinculada ao consumo. Este percurso teórico objetiva sinalizar os focos de interesse dos estudos da publicização – conceito que abrange as mutações das estratégias que envolvem a comunicação persuasivo-sedutora de corporações, marcas e mercadorias.

We propose a new meta-theory of human communication and a new model for human communication. We explore the layers of this model and show how the model indicates a layer-based troubleshooting approach to communication, with recommendations for effective communication.

Communication or Confrontation-Heidegger and Philosophical Method

Normally, we interpret the works of the great philosophers and explain them in papers and presentations. The thinking of Martin Heidegger has given us an indication of an entirely different method of philosophical thinking. In the 1930s, he gave a series of lectures on Nietzsche. In them, he calls his own way of reading and writing a confrontation (Auseinandersetzung) with Nietzsche. We consider the specific character of confrontation, and in what ways it is different from communication. First, we develop an answer
to the question of how Heidegger reads Nietzsche. Does he give a charitable or a violent interpretation of Nietzsche and, if neither, how can his confrontation with Nietzsche be characterized? With this, we obtain an indication of the way we have to read Heidegger, indeed, of philosophical reading and writing
as such.

Semiotics and Design: a Quantitative Meta Analysis. Sarah Belkhamsa and Karen Brunel Lafargue Article reprint - Collection # 03 - summer 2011

This approach allowed us to observe the studies’ geneses, define pioneers and chart the fluctuation of publications (diachronic approach), and therefore, research to date.

In this study, we have endeavoured to compile all relevant bibliographical references in order to measure, represent and compare scholarly interest. It encompasses both material artefacts, in particular those that are the result of industrial
production, as well as images graphically produced for mass distribution.

Though the core of our corpus is made up of publications stemming from structural and pragmatic semiotics, we also chose to include work from fields that call upon and apply semiotic approaches such as Information and Communication Sciences, Media Studies, Visual Studies, Material Culture Studies and Design Product Studies.

Globalization or the Journey of the Disembodied towards Tactility (essay in Bengali language)

Looks into how the image and the sound aspire to be tactile as part of Capitalism's larger politics of presenting the de-territorialized network as sufficiently intimate and 'corporeal', how, in other words, the sign increasingly tries to appropriate the 'referent' in the new configuration of 'distance' and 'proximity'. The over-arching structure of this agency however has many aporias. I surely would have written the essay differently now, especially after the 'Arab Spring' and the 'velvet revolution', without changing the basic argument.

Incidental exposure to no-smoking signs primes craving for cigarettes

Smokers viewed photographs in which no-smoking signs were either incon- spicuously embedded (prime) or edited out (control). Participants then used a joystick to make quick approach vs. avoid motions while viewing smoking-related and neutral stimuli on a computer screen (Chen & Bargh, 1999). We hypothesized that primed smokers, but not controls, would show an automatic reach bias toward the smoking-related stimuli. The data supported our prediction. Possible mechanisms for the effect are discussed, as well as implications for public health policy, negation-based social campaigns in general, and our understanding of the unconscious processing of semantic information.
