“…Logo que um ícone é observado como feito de partes inter-relacionadas, e uma vez que as relações entre as partes, e não as próprias partes, suas propriedades e substâncias, se submetem a modificações controladas por normas e leis para representar outras relações, estamos lidando com diagramas -"Um diagrama é um representamen que é predominantemente um ícone de relações e é auxiliado por convenções" (CP 4.418). O objeto do diagrama é sempre uma relação, e as partes relacionadas do diagrama representam as relações que constituem o objeto representado (Farias & Queiroz, 2006). Ele "representa uma forma definida de relação.…”

Que papel o fenômeno da tradução criativa, tradução icônica, ou transcriação, pode ter entre diversas formas de crítica? Vamos examinar esta questão no escopo da divisão sugerida por Umberto Eco, e sua relação com a tese de Haroldo de Campos de "tradução como crítica" – "se a tradução é uma forma privilegiada de leitura crítica, será através dela que se poderão conduzir outros poetas, amadores e estudantes de literatura à penetração no âmago do texto artístico, nos seus mecanismos e engrenagens mais íntimos". Exploramos essa tese através da noção operacional do ícone, e de ícone diagramático, desenvolvida por C. S. Peirce, e do exame da transcriação do poema "The Expiration", de John Donne, por Augusto de Campos. Em nossa abordagem, a transcriação é um ícone de relações. Ela revela, através de uma operação tipicamente diagramática, um sistema multinível de restrições. Nossa abordagem sugere uma perspectiva epistêmica para o ícone, desconsiderada por Haroldo, capaz de re-situar sua tese em um cenário teórico ainda inexplorado.

“…But note that Fodor introduces this comment merely to open the class of icons to representations like graphs, which are not based on 'resemblance' but on an alternative class of 'likeness,' not to deny that icons generally owe their semantic character to some external quality, which graphs certainly also do. It should be remembered that Peirce, under the overarching category of 'hypoicons,' already distinguished between icons that represent by incorporating 'simple qualities' of the object ('images'), icons that represent by incorporating 'relations' of the object ('diagrams'), and icons that represent by incorporating 'parallelisms in something else' ('metaphors') (Peirce 1931 CP 2.274ff: 157); see Farias and Queiroz (2006).…”

This paper argues, contrary to Fodor's well-known position, that the iconic and discursive modes of representation are not mutually exclusive categories. It is argued that there exists at least a third kind of representation which blends the semantic properties of icons and the syntactic properties of discourses. We reason that this iconic-discursive genus behaves differently from other representational formats, such as distributed representations or maps, previously put forward as challenging Fodor's basic distinction. A reflection follows about how this kind of representation impacts on the Fodorian issues for which the original dual distinction was argumentatively instrumental, namely, the kinds of codes and possible inter-code relations accessible to the representational mind. The suggestion is put forward that iconic-discursive representations may facilitate trade-offs between the world and the representational mind, as well as between the differently complex levels of representation that mediate between percepts and concepts. We conclude that such aspects of the computational mind, which until now appeared to be stubbornly resistant with respect to a conciliation of Hume's empiricism and Fodor's computationalism, may be more easily accessed and understood taking advantage of the biosemiotics perspective and acknowledging the richness of the biosemiotics codes accessible to cognition.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the basics of semiotic analysis and concept theory that represent two dominant approaches to knowledge representation, and explore how these approaches are fruitful for knowledge organization.Design/methodology/approachIn particular the semiotic theory formulated by the American philosopher C.S. Peirce and the concept theory formulated by Ingetraut Dahlberg are investigated. The paper compares the differences and similarities between these two theories of knowledge representation.FindingsThe semiotic model is a general and unrestricted model of signs and Dahlberg's model is thought from the perspective and demand of better knowledge organization system (KOS) development. It is found that Dahlberg's concept model provides a detailed method for analyzing and representing concepts in a KOS, where semiotics provides the philosophical context for representation.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to combine theories of knowledge representation, semiotic and concept theory, within the context of knowledge organization.
