The educational objectives of the semiotic curriculum aim to provide competence in the field of semiotics, articulated both from a theoretical-philosophical and a methodological-applicative perspective.
Theoretically, all themes related to the evolution of philosophical and linguistic theories of the sign and semiosis, elements of the history of semiotics, and cognitive semiotics will be explored, with comparisons between different sign systems: linguistic, visual, syncretic, etc.
Methodologically, the tools necessary for analyzing different textual objects (verbal, visual, behavioral, musical, audiovisual, etc.) will be provided. To this end, the main theoretical and methodological currents characteristic of the semiotic tradition, from structuralism to interpretative semiotics, as well as all the most recent and advanced developments in the discipline, will be explored. For example, neurosymbolic methods for conditioning generative artificial intelligence models (through the training and conditioning of Large Language Models, Vision-Language Models, and Multimodal Language Models) by means of semiotic, pragmatic, and ontologicaltheories.
