商品描述
This open access book highlights the link between Bruno Latour's works and the semiotic perspective on social phenomena analysis. It identifies and relaunches a dialogue that was as heated as it was fruitful, but still little recognized within the social sciences. It asks why the theory of signification has so far been only sporadically acknowledged in literature derived from Latour's work. Starting from these premises, the book explores two interrelated dimensions, the initial one of a "semiotics for Latour", which looks at concepts from semiotics in Latour's study of social phenomena, and extensively for the first time, a symmetrical one of a "Latour for semiotics," accounting for the impact of Latourian inquiry on contemporary semiotic research. The book offers a novel perspective on Bruno Latour's work by addressing a wide readership, including those interested in Latour's approach, actor-network theory, semiotics, and the social sciences.
The English translation of this book from the Italian original manuscript was done with the help of artificial intelligence, then revised technically and linguistically by the author in collaboration with a professional translator.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍突顯了布魯諾·拉圖爾（Bruno Latour）作品與社會現象分析的符號學視角之間的聯繫。它識別並重新啟動了一場既激烈又富有成效的對話，但在社會科學中仍然鮮為人知。書中探討了為何符號意義理論迄今為止在源自拉圖爾作品的文獻中僅偶爾被承認。基於這些前提，該書探討了兩個相互關聯的維度，最初是「為拉圖爾的符號學」，著眼於拉圖爾對社會現象研究中的符號學概念，並首次廣泛探討「為符號學的拉圖爾」，說明拉圖爾式探究對當代符號學研究的影響。這本書通過面向廣泛讀者群，提供了對布魯諾·拉圖爾作品的新視角，包括對拉圖爾方法、行動者網絡理論、符號學和社會科學感興趣的人士。
這本書的英文翻譯是從意大利原稿翻譯而來，翻譯過程中使用了人工智慧的幫助，然後由作者與專業翻譯人員合作進行技術和語言上的修訂。
