Abstract

FONTANILLE, Jacques. For an ecological semiotics. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2018, n.39, pp.65-79. ISSN 2594-0619.

Semiotics can contribute to studies on the environment in three complementary ways, but which imply very different commitments: 1) the analysis of discourses on the environment, and especially the way in which scientific and political discourses take them up and also distort them; 2) the analysis of environmental objects, such as landscapes and environmental practices; 3) the analysis of the interactions between the living being and its environment. In the latter case, the study of ecological interactions leads, in particular, to establish the meaning of the different types of collectives that we create with the other entities of our environment, whether they are living or not. The case of the cooperative located in Ardèche (France) illustrates this last point.

Keywords : living/medium interactions; man/nature collectivities; scientific discourse; political discourse.
