  • @saleos23
    @saleos23 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    This was a lot of fun. But the "play" button is not arbitrary but rather indexical. The right pointing arrow indicates the direction a tape would play in a recording studio tape deck of an old Boom Box playing cassettes. A button pointing in the opposite direction, to the left meant rewinding the tape, the tape would spin in the other direction. The addition of multiple arrows (fast forward or fast rewind) indicate the speed in that direction would be increased. In the digital age, folks like You Tube have adapted the right-arrow play button for digital uses and so it may seem arbitrary, but for anyone who used or still use tape decks of any kind, it's most def an indexical sign.
    But like I said, I enjoyed this a lot and will be sharing it with a colleague and some students (I'm a PhD student at University of Chicago).

    • @OgreBurden
      @OgreBurden 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your argument works also for the words of a language, they are symbolic but they are not arbitrary : they all have an etymology. Maybe a better definition for the symbol will be a conventional relationship rather than an arbitrary relationship between the representamen and the meaning.

    • @Sraye
      @Sraye 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The "play" button is arbitrary.
      At some point in history, some guy in an office decided a triangle pointing right or left would mean play or rewind while he was designing the first boom box, cassette player, etc.
      There is nothing inherent about a triangle that suggests the direction of the tape moving.
      In some "alternate timeline", someone could have chosen to associate play with an arrow shape, or a heart shape with the pointed end showing direction, or maybe even a thumbs up in the direction of play. There are many possibilities.
      Good luck with your PhD, I am also doing one.

    You should consider using examples that can be shown in a public school. I'm not sure I'm allowed to show this in my high school art class due to the nude painting. I know, it's art and personally, I have zero issues with it...but some communities are conservative and as such might object. Just my thoughts.

    • @InsistentlyInterdisciplinary
      @InsistentlyInterdisciplinary ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah! It certainly can be. An image is iconic, according to Peirce (a semiotician/philosopher) and the words would be symbolic. If you are interested in the topic, there is also fascinating work done on words called ideophones.

    At 00:36 you say that "The Process from the signifier to the signified is called signification" But on your drawings signification is placed on the right side, at the arrow down. The arrow down means signified to signification. I just wanted to ask what is the right meaning of signification. Signified to signifier or signifier to signified?
    Thank you so much :)

  • @cliffordhodge1449
    @cliffordhodge1449 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Indexicality and ostension in philosophy of language is to me a problematic area since, since ostension cannot rest on the physical act of pointing. The notion in semiotics of an indexical sign also seems like a weak point in the whole theory since the photo could look just like you (given the distance, clarity, etc.) and yet have been taken of someone else, so that it would in fact be indiscernible from a photo that was actually taken of you. The one may have the correct causal history, but that is the only thing suggesting it as a representation of you. Replies are welcomed.
