Description
Summary:Writing and visuality are inextricably linked, and not only in non-alphabetic writing systems. How can we look at writing from a semiotic point of view, in order to render its complexity as a multidimensional object between transcription and representation, between notation and image? On the one hand, it may be useful to retrace the path already taken by the history of writing systems and the linguistic, philosophical and anthropological traditions on the subject, trying to reflect on writing as a "semiotic place"; on the other hand, it is possible to draw attention to the constant short-circuits and frequent contaminations that exist between image and writing, in graphics and calligraphy, as well as in poetry and the visual arts, and to try to describe their underlying dynamics.
