Semiotics and audiovisualities: an essay on the nature of the audiovisual phenomenon
Abstract
This article discusses the nature of audiovisual phenomena. It is based on the combination of two complementary perspectives: Charles Sanders Peirce’s phenomenological theory and its review by Gilles Deleuze in Image-Time. To the three categories proposed by Pierce – firstness, secondness, and thirdness – Deleuze adds one more – zeroness. This category is able to recognize the legitimacy and duration of the phenomena in virtuality. Such a review makes it possible to move from the studies of the audiovisual per se – with its textualizations, conditions of production and production of interpretees – to the study of the audiovisualities, with their imageness and virtual configurations expressed in what we, inspired by Arlindo Machado (1997) in another context, call pre-audiovisual and post-audiovisual.
Key words: audiovisualities, Peircean semiotics, phenomenology.Downloads
