“…There is a close link between nonverbal communication and the semiotics of gesture, sign and behaviour. Yuri Lotman and Boris Uspensky, investigating the semiotic component of behaviour among the Russian aristocracy in the nineteenth century, indicated that a gesture (i.e., a form of giving meaning to a particular type of behaviour in a broader context) served to give importance to the behaviour within an overall context determined by the individual culture, state and views (Monticelli, 2016). Nonverbal communication constitutes a significant part of behavioural semiotics reflected through several types of communication, including kinesics, proxemics and takesics (Sheets-Johnstone, 2019; Spapé et al, 2019).…”

“…Existe un vínculo estrecho entre la comunicación no verbal y la semiótica del gesto, el signo y el comportamiento. Yuri Lotman y Boris Uspensky investigaron el componente semiótico del comportamiento entre la aristocracia rusa en el siglo XIX y propusieron que el gesto (es decir, una forma de dar significado a un determinado tipo de comportamiento en un contexto más amplio) servía para dar relevancia al comportamiento dentro de un contexto global determinado por la cultura, el estado y las opiniones de la persona (Monticelli, 2016). La comunicación no verbal constituye una parte significativa de la semiótica de la conducta reflejada a través de diversos tipos de comunicación, entre ellos la cinésica, la proxémica y la tactésica (Sheets-Johnstone, 2019; Spapé et al, 2019).…”

China is one of the most dynamically developing countries that experienced rapid and tumultuous modernization in the second half of the twentieth century. This modernization consisted of the sports organization improvement and appropriate target-setting in Olympic sports. Sport is the most important sphere of international communication, and gymnastics pertains to the expression of semiotic units by the movement itself. The purpose of this research is to study a semiotic construct embracing the victories, behaviour patterns and organization of the Chinese gymnastics team at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where China demonstrated its highest achievements in gymnastics. Another reason for selecting these Olympic Games is that semiotically significant elements of the athletes’ behaviour differ from other contexts and Olympics. Consequently, the latter feature facilitates the segregation of these elements through phenomenological research.

Abstract. This article aims to describe the cultural conflicts occurred by Maghreb immigrants in Paris, especially female immigrants who have various conflicts, due to the difference perception of women both in Maghreb and in France. As a qualitative research, this research instrument is the researchers themselves with data from the novel Les Yeux Baissés by Tahar Ben Jelloun, a Maghreb author living in Paris. The data were then analyzed using the Semiotic theory of Roland Barthes: the novel is considered as a sign to be interpreted. The results of the study indicate that the cause of the conflicts is the differences in tradition, race, and religion. These differences make them feel “unaccepted” in France. Therefore, Moslem women in Paris have two types of cultural identities: Identity of being (the mother of Fathma, the main character) and Identity of becoming (Fathma, the main character). Besides, these Maghebian immigrants belong to the diaspora’s group: First, the Essentialists, diaspora who closed themselves off, just carried on their traditions, culture and religion as they did back home. Second, whom adopt the French culture, religion, and way of life. Third, those with 'floating' traits: born in France, do not know the cultural traditions of their hometown, only know French culture which “does not accept them”. Therefore it can be said that the ‘floating’ generation needs a 'special place' that is neither the culture of their parents, nor the culture of France, and that third place can be called a 'place of transit'.Keywords: Maghreb Diaspora, Moslem Women, Cultural Conflict, Place of Transit

“…Roland Barthes"s semiotic theory and approach were influenced by semiology, the general science of signs, by Saussure. The sign is involved in a three-dimension relationship (Barthes, 1977;Johann, Groß, Messig, & Rusk, 2020;Monticelli, 2016). A sign includes the relationships drawn between a signifier (a sound/mark) and signified (a concept) (Allen, 2004;Ashwin, 1984).…”

COVID-19 has been reported to be risen in numbers of infected cases and deaths. The massive report by media and social network which focus on the spreading and infection may affect not only physical health but also individual’s and general population’s mental health, isolation and stigma. To eradicate COVID-19-related stigma and discrimination perpetuated by both individual and group of people, WHO exhibits some anti-stigma campaign posters. This study employs qualitative method to acquire deep investigation of meaning and to involve the social context. Thus, by using Roland Barthes’s semiotic approach, analyzing signifiers and signifieds, this study was aimed to unmask both denotative and connotative meanings of the stigma embed within the six health campaign posters of COVID-19 by Southeast Asia WHO. The analysis was focused not only on the verbal sign of posters (linguistic text), but also its relation to their visual sign (imagery messages). From the analysis of the two sign systems of posters, the result shows that the six posters connote acts of discriminatory behaviours, stigmatization, stereotype and blaming. Through the posters, WHO propagates people to work together to fight COVID-19 and to bring out the best humanity, to have better awareness and positive attitudes and appeals governments, citizens, media, key influencers of communities to have a role in preventing and to stop stigma surrounding in South-Asia and specifically in Indonesia which becomes the target of the poster viewers during the pandemic. Those messages are connoted through different font colors and sizes and the illustration on each poster.
