The Semiotics of Timelessness: Reading 'Mythic' Architecture Hasselt University
Taking the cue from a text on the subject by Pavese (Del mito, del simbolo e d'altro), this article explores the phenomenology of experiencing a certain place or building as 'mythical', 'timeless'. Norbert-Schulz's plea for 'existential architecture' that has 'mythic qualities is re-evaluated in the light of Hans Blumenberg's philosophic anthropology and his theory of myth. Eventually, the conclusion will be drawn that the idea of the mythical, ...
Professione: Umanista. Exit en Existentie in de beeldsemiotiek van Michelangelo Antonioni. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In deze tekst stellen we de Italiaanse regisseur Michelangelo Antonioni centraal. We nemen zijn werk als leidraad om een denken te ontwikkelen over visuele taal en de visuele constructie van realiteit als filosofisch concept. We zullen ingaan op de semiotiek van film, meerbepaald over de paradigmatische en syntagmatische relaties en hoe die bij Antonioni uitzaaien naar een dieper, existentieel niveau. Daarbij besteden we ook aandacht aan de ...
"We will call this "doing our exorcises"": Abjecting Mrs. Blood KU Leuven
Even though Audrey Thomas's Mrs. Blood (1970) has received a considerable amount of critical attention, what has not been analysed in detail is the complex interaction between the novel's existential themes and its highly poetic language. By relying on Julia Kristeva's insights on the link between border crossing experiences and a discourse that is marked by the discharge of affects, this paper intends to come to a better appreciation of the ...
Co-Creatively Producing Knowledge with Other-than-Human Bio-Organisms in a (Bio)Technology-Controlled Artistic Environment KU Leuven
Along with the increasing awareness about the destructive force of humankind on nature, existential questions about how to create a more sustainable relationship with the natural world have emerged. To acquire a more eco-friendly attitude, we need to go beyond the well-established knowledge cultures that highlight a nature-versus-culture dichotomy. This study focuses on bio art as an epistemic vehicle to re-imagine our understanding of and ...

Polyteam semantics Hasselt University
Team semantics is the mathematical framework of modern logics of dependence and independence in which formulae are interpreted by sets of assignments (teams) instead of single assignments as in first-order logic. In order to deepen the fruitful interplay between team semantics and database dependency theory, we define Polyteam Semantics in which formulae are evaluated over a family of teams. We begin by defining a novel polyteam variant of ...
