“…By telling people where to discard what, and sometimes even when and why, bins are instrumental agents of mundane governance (Woolgar and Neyland, 2013) that mobilize consumers to practice recycling, even if under the delusive belief that this is a sustainable waste policy (Hird, 2017; Lougheed et al, 2016). To speak in the biosemiotic terms of Ireland (2015), bins and dumpsters build the capacity of waste producers to sense their immediate environment, define the space within which they evolve, and develop corresponding spatial practices. As informational hotspots, bins and dumpsters create readable patterns of responsibility and accountability that make wastescapes (Melosi, 2016; Zapata Campos and Zapata, 2013) intelligible, a key contribution to the management of waste significations.…”

Waste as scats: For an organizational engagement with waste

This article coins the term ‘scatolic’ to suggest a new way for organizations to think about and engage with waste. Scatolic engagement draws on Reno’s analogy of waste as scats and of scats as signs for enabling interspecies communication. This analogy stresses the impossibility for waste producers to dissociate themselves from their waste and emphasizes the contingent, multiple, and transient value of waste. Correspondingly, the article suggests that organizations grow a semiotic competence at reading waste and develop a sense of responsibility for materials. Adopting a scatolic approach to waste is featured as a way for organizations to deal with waste in the Anthropocene.

“…A recent study is Nomura et al (2020). In a biosemiotic context space has been studied, for instance, by Ireland (2015). Such studies combine hard and soft sciences, leaving the comfort zone of established research fields by theorising and investigating empirically the role of time and space both as abstract and concrete context.…”

Perceptions of Context. Epistemological and Methodological Implications for Meta-Studying Zoo-Communication

Although this study inspects context in general, it is even intended as a prerequisite for a meta-study of contextual time&space in zoo-communication. Moving the scope from linguistics to culture, communication, and semiotics may reveal new similarities between context-perceptions. Paradigmatic historical moves and critical context theories are inspected, asking whether there is a least-common-multiple for perceptions of context. The short answer is that context is relational – a bi-product of attention from a position, creating a focused object, and hence an obscured (back-)ground – the attention’s context. A more comprehensive one is that when the focused phenomenon is culture, semiotics, or communication, context becomes embodied. This recognition triggers new questions: What is the relation between embodied, immanent context and this perception’s external, physical context (its surroundings)? If utterances are regarded as constituted by the triad form-content-act and the dyadic chronotope time&space, what and where is then context? Which challenges will empirical (zoo-)communicational research face if context is split in internal and external versions of context? These questions raise some epistemological and methodological issues. These are discussed based on a framework that regards communication as a micro-macro interplay between utterance and genre. Genres are kinds of communication. More specifically animal genres related to their basic life-functions are called life-genres. A conclusion is that life-genres function as both mental and situational contexts. This complicates empirical research on communication in general, and zoo-communication in particular. The paper concludes that contexts’ relational and embodied nature and the ‘situational’ characteristics of life-genres challenge researchers to validate continuously, shifting between contextualising, decontextualising, and recontextualising.

“…Bunlara ek olarak mekan nesnel özelliklere sahip olsa da bir nesne olarak tanımlanmaktan çok bir örüntü olduğu söylenebilir. Bu örüntüde ışık, ses, renk, doku gibi nesnel unsurlar bir araya gelirken, aynı zamanda mekanı yaratan organizma subjektif biçimde mekansallaşır, mekandaki varlığını ifade eden ilişki örüntüleri kurgulanır [3] …”

ÖzMekan konfigürasyonunun analizine odaklanan bu çalışma, "mekansal komşuluk" kavramını öne sürerek bu kavram ışığında mekansal ilişkileri irdelemektedir. Çalışma bu kapsamda mimari kurguda komşuluk eden mekanların bütün içindeki ilişkisel rolünü sorgulamayı ve farklı mekansal komşuluk şekillerinin mekan kurgusuna ve anlamına etkisini tartışmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışmanın araştırma yöntemi Mekan Dizilimi Analizlerine dayanmakta ve örneklem grubunu farklı dönemlere ait müstakil konut örnekleri oluşturmaktadır. Dizilim analizleri kapsamında derinlik ve entegrasyon değerlerine bakılarak, geçiş modeli analizleri yapılmıştır. Ulaşılan dizilim değerleri yardımıyla farklılaşan mekansal komşuluk ilişkileri tespit edilerek, mekan kurgusuna ve mekanın anlamına etkisi tartışılmıştır. Sonuçlar mekan konfigürasyonu içinde mekansal komşuluk ilişkilerinin değişiminin mekanın kullanımı, anlamı ve bütün içindeki konumuna nasıl etki ettiğini göstermektedir. Analysis of the Architectural Space through the Spatial Neighbourhood Concept AbstractThis study, which focuses on the analysis of spatial configurations, examines the concept of "spatial neighbourhood". It aims at questioning the relational role of the neighbouring spaces within a whole as well as discussing the effects of different forms of spatial neighbourhood on the layout and meaning of spaces. The method of the study is based on Space Syntax Analysis and the sample group of the analysis consists of single family houses from different periods. For the syntactic analysis, mean depth, integration and justified graph analysis are realized. Using the syntactic values obtained, changes in spatial relations are revealed and the effects of these changes on the structure of spatial neighbourhood and to the meaning of space are discussed. The results of the study reveal the effects of the changings in spatial neighbouring relations in the spatial configuration in the use, the meaning and the position of space within a whole.
