Food and Health
Food is a major health issue; the links between diet and health are dominant in nutrition discourse and practice. Food and Health: Actor Strategies in Information and Communication identifies the informational practices of nutrition professionals and consumers to study the structural elements of food and health. It analyzes the communication strategies of actors and the dissemination and use of information related to both food for health and health through food. The book considers nutrition from the point of view of public policies, educational organizations, preventive measures, consumers and patients.
Intersemiotic Perspectives on Emotions
This edited volume explores emotion and its translations through the global world from a variety of different perspectives, as a personal, socio- cultural, ideological, ethical and political, even business investment in the latest phases of globalisation. Emotions are powerful in engaging or disengaging individuals, communities, the masses, peoples and nations with distinct linguistic and cultural backgrounds for good, but also for evil. All depends on how emotions are interpreted, that is, translated in “words” or in “facts”, in any case in “signs”. Semiotic reflection on emotions and their interpretation/translation is thus of essential importance. An adequate understanding of ...

Semiotics of Images
This book represents a unique collaborative effort to bring together the multiple aspects of the semiotics of images into a coherent approach based on Greimasian and post-Greimasian theory. Starting with a critical discussion of epistemological and theoretical issues and continuing with methodology and numerous examples of applied analysis, it aims to provide the educated reader with a consistent and unified theoretical framework for the semiotic study of visual cultural texts. It offers a comprehensive overview of the semiotics of static images such as painting, drawing, sculpture and photography, but also dynamic images such as cinema, animation and digital games. Readers will benefit from the special emphasis placed on the analysis of the pictorial signifier, visual syntax and the structuring of the semantic universe.
Les dessous de la communication alimentaire
Plus que jamais l’alimentation porte des enjeux de société (santé, publicité, communication, savoirs…) et pose à chacun d’entre nous de nombreuses questions, notamment pour les professionnels et chercheurs en information-communication (SIC).

Mangiare: istruzioni per l’uso
Il discorso sui libri di cucina è oggi sottoposto a un doppio, sgradevole ricatto. Il primo riguarda le pressioni derivanti dal loro successo editoriale, che ne fanno, più che un oggetto culturale con evidente spessore antropologico, una merce come un’altra per riempire gli scaffali delle librerie e attirarvi, speranzosi, quel che resta degli amanti della carta stampata. Il secondo ha a che vedere con le costrizioni relative al loro dissolvimento nei media d’ogni tipo, e in particolar modo in internet, dove la forma tradizionale, per esempio, della ricetta, fissata in un supporto cartaceo e con un testo scritto, tende a dissolversi, a trasformarsi e forse a perdere di significato in funzione degli apporti provenienti dalla dimensione dell’immagine, dell’audiovisivo e, infine, dell’interattività. Da un parte nascono a profusione ricettari d’ogni ordine e grado, misura e natura, sino ad annullarsi a vicenda. Dall’altra se ne decreta nei fatti l’inutilità, se non la scomparsa, a tutto vantaggio d’altre forme testuali che si sono assunte l’arduo – e intramontabile – compito d’insegnare a cucinare.
Destinatari e destinanti
Gli studi sulla comunicazione sono sempre stati incentrati sui messaggi, i media o i destinatari. E i destinanti? Come spiegare le prese di posizione, le strategie e le tattiche di chi decide per gli altri orientando, interrompendo, mettendo in crisi il divenire di collettività e di individui?In politica, nella scienza, nel diritto, perfino nella religione, il “chi dice no”, la non rassegnazione cieca al potere, passa dall’analisi dei mandati che chiedono adesione e obbedienza, anche quando questi appaiono apersonali, legittimati da algoritmi o dalla doxa.
