The Postcard’s Radical Openness
The Postcard’s Radical Openness offers a groundbreaking exploration of what this multifaceted, double-sided open card entails and how it has affected our being in the world. With a holistic approach, it focuses on studying the postcard’s specific way of being and performing, a particular ontology that opens up what is constitutively implicated in such an apparently trivial artifact. The book, organized into four parts, meticulously unveils the postcard’s political, technological, aesthetic, and ethical dimensions, ending with a coda correlating the postcard’s radical openness to G. Klimt’s painting, Nuda Veritas (1899) in reference to the scope of truth. By examining the postcardâ€...
C. S. Peirce and the Deconstruction of Tradition
What professional philosophy needs most today is a new and fresh imagination. Only this will enable a move away from the traditional positions and schools such as realism, idealism, pragmatism, and empiricism. Nothing much will happen in philosophy as long as its main object is the defense of a position expressed in history. As this book argues, there is no thinker better positioned to overcome this impasse than Charles Sanders Peirce, who, through emancipation from the intellectual fortifications of the past, made a fresh imagination spring forth. This text ably guides the reader through the work and thought of Peirce. It first analyses his dialogue with the traditions of philosophy and semiotics, from Aristotle to the present day, before moving on to a close study of Peirce’s own ontology, epistemology and logic.
Semiotics
This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and ...
Ecuadorians in Madrid
In the decade between 1998-2008, Spain became the main destination for Ecuadorian migrants, and Madrid, Spain's capital, became the city with the largest Ecuadorian population outside of Ecuador. Through a combination of ethnographic research and cultural analysis, this book addresses the interconnections between spatial practices, cultural production, and definitions of citizenship in migration dynamics between Ecuador and Spain, showing how Ecuadorians are key actors in Madrid's recent urban history. Looking at the city as form and content, constitutive and constituting of ideological processes, each chapter analyzes the spatial practices of Madrid's Ecuadorian residents through various forms: the body, the home, public and leisure spaces, the city, the nation, and transnational circuits. Rather than addressing migrants as a general human type marked by (dis)placement, each chapter offers an illustration of how Ecuadorian migrants forge transnational processes through their everyday lives in specific time and place, and how these processes manifest culturally on both sides of the Atlantic.
Desde el taller

Ensayos semióticos
En 2002, un grupo de profesores de semiótica del departamento de Humanidades de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano empezó a conformar un grupo de estudio dedicado a analizar diferentes facetas de la denominada ciencia de los signos . Las diferentes discusiones que allà se presentaron, en un principio de orden pedagógico siempre apremiantes al interior de una institución educativa y de unidad de lecturas en las asignaturas, llevaron a la decisión de traducir el Manual de semiótica general de Jean Marie Klinkenberg (2006); pero, además, dieron origen a la idea de sacar a la luz pública algunas de las reflexiones que, desde diferentes miradas e intereses, allà se tenÃan. El presente volumen es el primer resultado de esa idea germinal y con él se inaugura la Colección semiótica , que se encargará de publicar ensayos originales y traducciones de autores reconocidos en el ámbito internacional, sobre los problemas, que puedan constituirse en un aporte a los estudios semióticos.
El pragmaticismo de C.S Peirce
La presente selección de textos ofrece una muestra significativa de algunos resultados de las investigaciones de largo alcance sobre el Pragmaticismo del pensador y cientÃfico norteamericano Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), emprendida por expertos de reconocimiento internacional, quienes abordan los conceptos filosóficos claves que este lógico norteamericano usó, estudió, aclaró o discutió. Algunos de estos trabajos, o versiones preliminares de ellos, fueron discutidos en el Congreso Internacional Comunidad, y Verdad, el legado de Charles Sanders Peirce realizado en la Universidad del Valle, Santiago de Cali (Colombia), noviembre 23-25 del 2016. De aquà se inspira el tÃtulo de nuestra compilación, la cual incluye los desarrollos alcanzados por las investigaciones de los expertos en los diversos tópicos peirceanos.
