While semiotics is often concerned with cultural criticism, there has been no explicit biosemiotic approach to culture, until only recently with Cobley unfurling such a research program. The key to this is the biosemiotic notion of modeling, which accounts for co-evolutionary processes encompassing biology and culture. This approach responds to recent calls in the humanities and social sciences to understand culture as constituted through technology, but also as something not strictly human (more-than-human). By undermining both vitalism and reductionism, biosemiotics avoids biologism and culturalism, which is of much importance for theorizing culture and learning in light of evolution. This has consequences for construing cultural pluralism. Mainstream notions of multiculturalism rely on cultural holism and, hence, advocate the separation of communities and languages for the pretense of maintaining diversity. Cobley’s theory avoids this pitfall, offering a view of cultures as intrinsically heterogeneous and open systems. This suggests further implications for how we understand the aims of literacy and state-run education. We present an account of biocultural learning that accommodates contemporary posthumanist and postdigital orientations. Construing learning as ecologically contextual is necessary for addressing ongoing technological transformations.","PeriodicalId":52036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Semiotic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41769678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent decades we can witness return of social realistic writing in the works of such authors as A. Ivanov, Z. Prilepin, K. Silvanova and E. Malisova. It appears that in the course of studying the classic Stalinist social realism and critical reflecting it is possible to understand certain patterns of the modern literature process. The research objective was to study Ilf's critique peculiarities and its objects. The article basic research methods comprise semiotic and intertextual analyses. The article beginning considers the context of Ilf's writing in 1930-s years. The stories by Ilf and Petrov, E. Zozulja and Barricady [Barricades] novel by P. Pavlenko were considered as the empiric material. As a result of the research, two thematic dominants of the writing were distinguished: 1) critical judgment of I. Ilfs literature colleagues who started working in social realistic manner in 1930-s years; 2) ironic attacks at the forming social realistic canon. Both of the writing thematic domains are polar opposite to Ilf and Petrov's artistic expression within the specified period. The coauthors created several social realistic texts, and some parts of Odnoetazhnaya America [One-storied America] are semantically compliant with the key Soviet ideology intentions. Thus, it is possible and necessary to distinguish between Ilfs independent creative working and the coauthors late works, where E. Petrov was an evident leader.","PeriodicalId":52036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Semiotic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73026654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, in the last several decades one can witness a shift in Hollywood SciFi movies. Many of the older stories were puzzled about human and machine identities as they appeared to become uncannily indistinguishable. More recent stories deal with disappointment and shock as the machines which emulate and exceed human reasoning prove to have a kind of intelligence that is very different from human thinking and feeling. The following observations seek to reflect the significance of this shift. On the one hand, it is referred to a change in the orientation of AI research itself - transition from humanoid AI to machine one. On the other hand, these movies do not so much analyze impact and future of two AI kinds, as they reflect on the cultural conditions, hopes and fears that motivate or ground AI research. Thus, science fiction can be a stage or a representational framework for an interpretative interaction with technology, that is, for understanding artificial intelligence, its significance and importance for various ways people understand and position themselves in the world of signs and symbols, objects and work products.","PeriodicalId":52036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Semiotic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88714306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kazarina","doi":"10.18287/2782-2966-2022-2-4-66-72","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18287/2782-2966-2022-2-4-66-72","url":null,"abstract":"The article discusses three novels, where events take place in Samara (Kuibyshev). These are \"Metro-2033: Bezymyanka [Underground-2033: Bezymyanka] (2010) by Sergey Paliy, \"Bezymyanlag\" (2016) by Andrey Olekh and \"Pischeblock [Food Unit] (2018) by Alexey Ivanov. The work reveals the reasons for this localization of events that is identical for all the authors. In all the three cases, the location plays an important narrative role, which is explained in the article by both the authors' hope to get the Samara readers sympathetic attention, and the need to have specific recognizable details that is characteristic of mass literature, which give force to generally sketchy narration. Urban history facts, geographical marks, well-known loci local mythological narratives associated with them play the role of such details. The Samara portrait is constructed taking into account the tradition of depicting provincial existence as an alternative to metropolitan life, developed in the literature of the XIX century. The province could be idealized as a world of harmony, lost by the city, or ridiculed as a centre of savagery and backwardness. But these novels show Samara, surprisingly combining both the terror of urban life and the salutariness of suburbs. The heroes are tasked to escape to move from urban space to country one, facing unbelievable difficulties. Samara is a convenient locus for genre works: this city is not tagged with the characteristics firmly fixed in the mass consciousness, so anything can happen there. Such Samara absorbs all the worst and all the best that can be told about any city. The sharp polarization of its features enables to create a semantic field where events take place in a very way - that increases the dynamics of the described actions and makes them especially impressive in the readers eyes.","PeriodicalId":52036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Semiotic Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72991709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
