The results we present are all examples of how Peirce is still a source of inspiration in many different fields. Moreover, his theories are actually applied in several fields of media and organisation studies, as the reader will see. The articles are in three different languages, and maybe not all our readers are fluent in Italian, English and French, but we believe, as semioticians, that languages are tools for sharing sense and interpretants, and that, if such a sharing is always kept as a goal, the risks of linguistic imperialism do not look so threatening. A multilingual community, however, seems to us as a better model than that of a single vehicular language.

When we decided to plan a special issue on Charles Peirce as a tribute to the centennial commemoration of his death …
In this article, we discuss the pragmatic relationship between semiosis and communication in order to characterize transmedia dynamics as a pragmatic offshoot of semiosis in media, a perspective that accounts for the incompleteness of the interpretant in its meditated actions. The |... ⇲
Building on the achievements of Massimo Bonfantini’s pragmaticist materialism and Rossi-Landi’s “omologic” method, this article proposes a theoretical frame for the critical analysis of consumption as a category. According to Rossi-Landi, the economic phase of consumption -as well |... ⇲
In the Speculative Grammar, Charles Peirce proposes two types of Dicisigns: Indexical Dicisigns and Symbolic Dicisigns. Their structure seems to be a blueprint of the complete relatives introduced in the Logic of 1897. Indeed, in both cases we have an icon with blanks |... ⇲
This contribution is the first survey on the relevance and the possible fertility of the notion of “person(ality)” as emerging from Peirce’s cosmologic and metaphysical essays published on The Monist in the 1890s (see CP 6.268 ff.) and set in the frame of some semiotic and socio-ps |... ⇲
In a bid to actualize some aspects of Peirce’s thought for the analysis of cultural contemporary phenomena, this article tests a re-reading that crosses the Peircean approach with the semiotic proposals of Fontanille and Basso. The typology of signs from the Speculative Grammar is |... ⇲
The author starts by situating photography with regard to its relationships with Peirce’s semiotic thought and, in another direction, with mass media. He then draws a minimal frame of the problematics of sign within the specifically Peircean perspective. Next, five analyses of the |... ⇲
The main objectives of this work point to an analysis of internal communication processes of a natural science museum of the city of La Plata (Buenos Aires province) to explain the relationship between the formal and informal instances from some approaches to the Peircean semiotics |... ⇲
One of the most important contributions of the Peircean paradigm to semiotics consists in its opening the sign to development and modification. Sense, meaning, is no longer a static and fixed property. The Peircean paradigm allows us to wonder about how signs are interpreted, how t |... ⇲
In our paper we apply Peirce’s model of Arguments (Statistical Deduction, Probabilistic Deduction, Induction and Abduction) to a communication process where negotiating sense and meanings is emphasized. We selected a communication space where everything is planned as a medium of se |... ⇲
After examining the evolution of Peirce’s changing conceptions of rhetoric in the period 1903-06 the paper explores some of the implications of a 1904 paper on rhetoric and scientific writing and then examines the rhetorical potential of Peirce’s definition of hexadic semiosis and |... ⇲
During this year of Peirce's centennial celebration a question keeps going round in my head. perhaps a naive one ...
