“…Peirce: "Something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity" [53] (p. 228). Peirce's definition and his extensive writings on semiotics are cited extensively in the literature [54][55][56][57][58]. A sign is commonly modeled as a single, triadic relation of a sign object, what the sign is about, a sign vehicle, which expresses the sign, and an interpretant, what the sign means, although there are significant variations in the nomenclature of the components in the literature [59].…”

Constructed Past Theory (CPT) is an abstract representation of how information about the past is produced and interpreted. It is grounded in the assertion that whatever we can write or say about anything in the past is the product of cognition. Understanding how information about the past is produced requires the identification and analysis of both the sources on which that information is based and the way in which the constructor approaches the task to select, analyze, and organize information to achieve the purpose for which the information was sought. CPT models this dual process, providing a basis for evaluation. It is descriptive, not prescriptive. CPT has been articulated using UML class diagrams with the objective of facilitating implementation in automated systems. This article reformulates CPT using type theory and extends its reach by applying and adapting concepts from semiotics. The results are more detailed models that facilitate differentiating what things meant to people in the past from how the constructor understands them. This article concludes with suggestions for applying CPG concepts in constructing information about the past and identifying areas where further research is needed.

“…Sob o ponto de vista pragmático da semiose peirceana, a dinâmica transmídia é um processo sígnico em contínua expansão reticular, envolvendo a proliferação variada de interpretantes. Por esse prisma, a incompletude produtiva do interpretante é tomada como parâmetro conceitual para entender a maneira pela qual os hábitos de consumo midiático conferem especificidades à dinâmica transmídia por meio de associações sígnicas baseadas em experiências colaterais (Alzamora & Gambarato, 2014). A potencialidade interpretativa do signo (interpretante imediato) pode ser entendida na semiose transmidiática como uma espécie de convite à participação, o qual só se torna um novo signo (interpretante dinâmico) pela ação sígnica associativa (experiência colateral) (Alzamora, 2018).…”

A propagação de notícias falsas sobre o julgamento do ex-presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, em janeiro de 2018, é aqui examinada conforme a concepção pragmática de verdade proposta por Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914). Por meio de coleta em redes sociais on-line, observou-se esforço coletivo para fixação de crenças concorrentes, conforme os métodos peirceanos de tenacidade e autoridade. O processo comunicacional analisado, caracterizado como ativismo transmídia, foi impulsionado pela mediação de hashtags que remetiam à polarização política e pelos posts atribuídos a celebridades. Conclui-se que a disputa pelo valor semiótico da verdade fomentou a expansão transmídia de conteúdos falsos e, paradoxalmente, de notícias verificadas.

Kyararevisited: The pre-narrative character-state of Japanese character theory

This article proposes to take a closer look at a variety of contemporary Japanese “character” franchises which cannot be accounted for if the entities in question are primarily understood with reference to diegetic worlds or stories. Rather, virtual idols like Hatsune Miku, fictional mascots like Kumamon, or notorious product placement figures such as Hello Kitty all seem to circulate mostly on non-narrative artifacts such as clothes, office supplies, or decontextualized artworks, and within mediated performances such as stage musicals, cosplay, or public appearances in full-body suits. They are nevertheless quite typical for the Japanese “media mix” franchising model, designed to allow for user-level reshuffling and reenactment. Such “characters without stories,” or kyara, are thus best understood as “mediated performers,” as fictional actors that can take on any fictional role attributed to them within the participatory cultures and collective creations of fan manga (dōjinshi), fan artworks, or even cosplay. Theorists such as Itō (2005) or Azuma (2009) therefore differentiate sharply between kyarakutā und kyara, the latter being a pre- or meta-narrative “nodal point” for diverging games of make-believe. Kyara can just as easily be enacted and performed as they can be brought back into narrative (kyarakutā) contexts. The following article relates and contrast these notions to international (“Western”) character theories and argues for their relevance beyond “exotic” Japanese contexts.
