Coherence of Visual and Epistemic Elements in Multimodal Artifacts for the Cultural Heritage Education. The Case Study of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci

PASS: Picture Augmentative Synsemic System. Un nuevo sistema para las prácticas habilitativas en la CA (comunicación aumentativa): marco teórico

“…PCS, WLS and ARASAAC consist of a series of glyphs which represent specific concepts or words (through depictions, metaphors and other visual rhetorical strategies; for a discussion about visual rhetorical figures see Dalai, Martini and Perondi, 2019). We could not find any evidence of regular or consistent patterns behind their design or in their appearance.…”

“…The steps of this process are as follows: 1. Definition and design of the constituent traits: the glyphs are built from constituent traits (Dalai, Martini, and Perondi, 2019). 2.…”

“…Definition of pertinent and facultative variants (Eco, 2016): some of the constituent traits are pertinent and they are fundamental for the viewer to discern one glyph from another. Other constituent traits contribute to the connotation and the contextualisation of the glyph (Dalai, Martini, and Perondi, 2019). We assume a certain amount of "iconical transparence" (Moles, 1972;Peirce, 2003;Anceschi, 1992), even though it is not relevant for our purpose whether iconic images are unambiguous or purely conventional (Eco, 1975;Lussu, 2003).…”

Indeed, the debate on iconism that involved Umberto Eco and Thomás Maldonado (Polidoro, 2012;Maldonado, 2005) systems) if they are coherent with each other (by following coherence criteria discussed previously in Dalai, Martini, and Perondi, 2019;Bertin, 2011). 4.…”

“…As discussed previously in Dalai, Martini, and Perondi (2019), we refer to the rhetorical figures in the metalogic area (the tropes of the classical rhetoric) which are related to the signified. Therefore, since this area of the rhetoric is related to the contents, it is independent from the form and the modes of expression (Bonfantini, 2000).…”
