<p></p><p>This book traces the origins and evolution of cybersemiotics, beginning with the integration of semiotics into the theoretical framework of cybernetics and information theory. The book opens with chapters that situate the roots of cybersemiotics in Peircean semiotics, describe the advent of the Information Age and cybernetics, and lay out the proposition that notions of system, communication, self-reference, information, meaning, form, autopoiesis, and self-control are of equal topical interest to semiotics and systems theory. </p>

<p>Subsequent chapters introduce a cybersemiotic viewpoint on the capacity of arts and other practices for knowing. This suggests pathways for developing Practice as Research and practice-led research, and prompts the reader to view this new configuration in cybersemiotic terms. Other contributors discuss cultural and perceptual shifts that lead to interaction with hybrid environments such as Alexa. The relationship of storytelling and cybersemiotics is covered at chapter length, and another chapter describes an individual-collectivity dialectics, in which the latter (Commind) constrains the former (interactants), but the former fuels the latter.</p>

<p>The concluding chapter begins with the observation that digital technologies have infiltrated every corner of the metropolis - homes, workplaces, and places of leisure - to the extent that cities and bodies have transformed into interconnected interfaces. The book challenges the reader to participate in a broader discussion of the potential, limitations, alternatives, and criticisms of cybersemiotics.</p><br><p></p>
<p>Introduction.- Cybersemiotics in the Information Age.- Cybersemiotic systemic and semiotical based transdisciplinarity.- From semiotics, to cybernetics to cybersemiotics: the question of communication and meaning processes in living systems.- System, sign, information, and communication in cybersemiotics, systems theory, and Peirce.- Transdisciplinary Realism.- Practice-led research as knowing: a cybersemiotic overview.- The blind men and the elephant: Towards an organization of epistemic contexts.- Communicology, Cybernetics, and Chiasm: A Synergism of Logic and Semiotic.- The Return of Philosophy: A Systemic Semiotics Approach.- HCI Design and the Cybersemiotic Experience.- The Communication of Form. Why cybersemiotic star is necessary for information studies?.- From ‘motivation’ to ‘constraints’, from ‘discourse’ to ‘modelling systems’: pushing multimodal discourse analysis towards cybersemiotics.- Towards a cybersemiotic philology of Buddhist knowledge forms: How to&nbsp;<i>un</i>do objects and concepts in process-philosophical terms.- Cybersemiotics and Phenomenology: a critical review of the conditions of possibility of “observation” from a Transcendental Semiotics.- Storytelling and Cybersemiotics.- Communication and evolution.- Prolegomena to Cybersemiotic discourse pragmatics. Total human evolutionary cognition and communication.- The cities and the bodies as cyberinterfaces.<br></p>

He is an interdisciplinary researcher that has moved from an MA in biology (ecology and behavioral sciences) over a gold medal thesis in psychology (philosophy of ethology) both Copenhagen U. through a PhD in philosophy of information sciences (Roskilde U.) after 10 year teaching at the Royal School of Library and Information science to a Habilitat in Cybersemiotics combining the natural, life, social and technical sciences with the humanities though an integration of a Peircean biosemiotic and Luhmann's autopoietic system science into a transdisciplinary framework (Copenhagen Business School).Cybersemiotics is now described in several international encyclopedias, dictionaries and handbooks in linguistics, semiotics, Informations science, cybernetics and system science. He created an interdisciplinary journal in the area called “Cybernetics & Human Knowing” in 1992 and have been editor-in-chief ever since.</p>
