“…The formal dimension is also evident in the use of pictograms, ideograms and symbols, which demonstrate greater levels of abstraction. Pictograms are based on their resemblance to their real-world physical referents; relevant examples include some international signage (Hassan, 2015) or emoticons/emoji (Giannoulis and Wilde, 2019). Ideograms (also known as ideographs) represent more abstract concepts than pictograms, and while more formally complex and language independent, they still tend to rely on either physical similarity or conventional use of visual elements to communicate concepts.…”

Purpose Through examination of the Library Reference Model (LRM) specifications for nomen and the potential challenges visual nomen might present for their description and use in information systems, the purpose of this study was to investigate two questions: (1) how do nonlinguistic or nonalphanumeric signs or symbols act as nomen to identify entities? and (2) what details or attributes are relevant to describe and classify such nomen to integrate them into information systems? Design/methodology/approach This research was built on an exploratory, qualitative instrumental case study design using multiple (or comparative) cases. Using the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions LRM conceptualization of nomen as the basis, this research explored the similarities and differences between the LRM definition, its attributes and the use of nonlinguistic and nonalphanumeric “strings” for visual nomen to represent a res, moving iteratively between the LRM documentation, visual nomen identified in previous research and additional examples. This study used a constant comparative method to conduct a structured, focused comparison across different cases found in the source survey. Findings A close review of the history of the development of the nomen entity was made to understand the semiotic relationship between entities and their symbolic representation, how those symbols are then reified to be further classified and described and how such definitions in the LRM offer a path forward for better understanding the role and function of visual nomen. Based on the foundation of the nomen entity and its attributes established in the LRM, this research then looked at visual representations of concepts and entities to suggest a nascent framework for describing aspects of visual nomen which may be relevant to their use and application Originality/value This exploratory study of the use of supralinguistic ways of referencing entities delineates novel insights into a potential framework for describing and using visual nomen as a way of labeling or naming entities represented in information systems. By examining the specifications of the nomen entity and its attributes as delineated by the LRM, this study reinforces the applicability of LRM-defined attributes in the use of visual nomen in addition to offering other attributes or dimensions.

“…E la loro stessa diffusione ha dato il via a molte riflessioni teoriche, psicologiche, linguistiche, filosofiche, antropologiche e socio-politiche. Per esempio ponendo l'interrogativo se essi offrano la possibilità di superare le barriere culturali oppure semplicemente veicolino un ennesimo passaggio nel processo di trasformazione, e forse declino, del linguaggio scritto (Giannoulis, Wilde 2020).…”

The new forms of social communication, with the increasing presence of images within the text, make us necessary to reconsider the cerebral basis of literacy and theyr reconfiguration via neural recycling. In the theoretical framework of Embodied philosophy of mind, we propose an analysis of the ‘extended writing”, actually using emoticon and emoji, in the light of our contemporary neuropsychological knowledge (hemispheric specialization and the functional circuit of literacy).

“…Ganqing is the unobligated emotions and affections people develop for others. Mary used many emojis in our correspondence in order to inject more ganqing into her WeChat messages (Giannoulis, 2019) on a platform designed for private conversations with friends and families. Those emojis were a tactic to urge me to work more for her as her ‘elder sister’.…”

Burning out in emotional capitalism: Appropriation of ganqing and renqing in the Chinese platform economy

Based on a three-year digital ethnography as an educational consultant on the Chinese digital platform X, I use guanxi, enduring interpersonal relationships, to explain how people voluntarily work to the extent of burning out. Drawing on literature about emotion and work in precarious labour, and especially the discussion on emotional capitalism, I demonstrate that it is not because of the lack of social connections that people engage in auto-exploitation and burning out, as Han Byung-chul argues, but precisely because of shared values and the emotions people develop for each other that people commit more to work. Complementing research on digital economic tribes, I argue that guanxi could serve as an analytical framework to decipher the buyer–seller relationship on platforms. In particular, I use two guanxi-related concepts ganqing (emotional attachments) and renqing (norms of interpersonal relationship) to explain why I worked voluntarily and obligatorily for the students I met via X.
