ANÁLISIS DE LA CREACIÓN ACTORAL DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA SEMIÓTICA. UN ESTADO DE LA CUESTIÓN
This article focuses on the study of acting, the process of acting creation, from a semiotic perspective. The aim is to discuss and analyse the contributions that this scientific perspective has developed for the understanding of the artistic work carried out by the actor as a communicative and expressive being. The analysis ranges from the first research carried out by the scholars of the Linguistic Circle of Prague, where the structuralist understanding of the actor's creation is of great interest, to the later theatrical theory that posits acting as a partial text within the performance text created from a body in action made up of verbal and non-verbal expressive signs that the receiver-audience must decode. Ello nos obliga a pensar en una visión interdisciplinar para abordar globalmente el hecho actoral, combinando diferentes perspectivas: como ser comunicativo y expresivo desde los parámetros semióticos, como ser social y cultural desde los enfoques antropológicos o socio-antropológicos y como ser vivo desde los estudios neurocientíficos y cognitivos (Fons, 2023).

Forest Semiosis
This article operationalizes Bernard Stiegler’s conceptualization of the Neganthropocene, expanding his consideration of thinking (penser) as care (panser) or pænséebeyond the anthropo-techne limitations of his thought through the notion of a posthuman asignifying semiotics. It begins with an overview of Stiegler’s notion of the Neganthropocene as a mode of epochal thought building towards noesisand pænséewith the use of epiphylogenetic and exosomatic memory systems. Here, Stiegler’s approach is exposed as anthropo-techne centric, which in turn limits the possibilities of noesis. Turning to the work of C.S. Peirce, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, an alternative formulation of epiphylogenetic memory is provided through the interrelation of trees and forests: in particular the coastal redwood (sequoia sempervirens). This asignifying semiotics provides the criteria for infusing Stiegler’s epiphylogenesis beyond the human. In turn, Stiegler is brought closer to the theories of entangled care presented in the work of theorists such as María Puig De La Bellacasa and Natasha Myers, allowing for a more dynamic design process.

Jealousy : a forbidden passion
\"Amorous jealousy is not a monster, as Shakespeare's venomous Iago claims. It is neither prickly and bitter fancy, nor a cruel and mean passion, nor a symptom of feeble self-esteem. All those who have experienced its wounds are well aware that it is not callous, nasty, delusional and ridiculous. It is just painful. Yet for centuries moralists have poured scorn and contempt on a feeling that, in their view, we should fight in every possible way. It is allegedly a disease to be treated, a moral vice to be eradicated, an ugly, pre-modern, illiberal, proprietary emotion to be overcome. Above all, no-one should ever admit to being jealous. So should we silence this embarrassing sentiment? Or should we see it, like the heroines of Greek tragedy, as a fundamental human demand for reciprocity in love? By examining its cultural history from the ancient Greeks to La Rochefoucauld, Hobbes, Kant, Stendhal, Freud, Beauvoir, Sartre, and Lacan, this book demonstrates how jealousy, far from being a \"green-eyed\" fiend, reveals the intense and apprehensive nature of all erotic love, which is the desire to be desired. We should never be ashamed to love\"-- Provided by publisher.

Des carrefours où plusieurs routes s’entrecroisent : style et réticulation des unités lexicales dans les romans de Claude Simon
Les romans de Claude Simon peuvent être considérés comme une application de la théorie du « mot-carrefour », exposée dans la célèbre préface à Orion aveugle (1970) : cette théorie implique une mise en circuit des unités lexicales, qui accroît vertigineusement leur potentiel sémiotique puisque chacune permet de transiter vers d’autres et s’imprègne en retour de leur(s) signification(s). Nous entendons montrer les implications sémantiques d’un tel modus operandi en étudiant un invariant thématique bien connu dans les fictions simoniennes : l’intrication d’emblèmes chrétiens et de notations érotiques.
