Semiotics in the Lifeworld

15th World Congress of Semiotics / IASS-AIS

August 30 – September 3, 2022, Thessaloniki, Greece

Proposal of Emmanuel and Mariela CRIVAT-IONESCO

Visualization of concepts around the semiotic square. Of time and space

At the time of the first steps on the moon, we were young and we dreamed of making our last trip in a spaceship that would leave Earth forever... our first course in the semiotics of architecture was called "Terrestrial Elementaries of a Cosmic Architecture".

For eight years we have escaped in our works, in the unspeakable, on the path "At the end of Our Shadows" on our semiotic square, like the Chinese painter Wang-Fô in Marguerite Yourcenar's short story, "How Wang-Fô Was Saved".

Every work of art is all works of art!

Semiotics and noemics, elementary syntax and temporal deixis, visualization of concepts on the generative path.

When time becomes space

When the end of Our Shadows

Ripples on the waves of the sea

When our lips

Become a kiss

When our hands

Sculpt caresses

When our looks

Only see our eyes

When our breath

Kiss our bodies

When our words

Become poems

When our questions

Are also our answers

When our steps

Are dance steps

When our hearts

Beat in unison

Then and only then,

The moment expands into time

And time becomes space!
