Bio-semiotics is a new approach to the explanation of living. The central thesis of bio-semiotics, “life is semiosis”, is a basis for a new science of living which should replace contemporary (or traditional) biology. The reason is that bio-semiotics reveals new qualities of living, which are inaccessible through the methods of contemporary, pure empirical biology. The paper outlines basic theses of bio-semiotics, distinguishes two main approaches, and challenges the central thesis with the focus upon its interpretation in “scientific” bio-semiotics.

The article addresses the problem of the city as a semiotic space that is defined by its boundary. The first part of the paper presents some of the models of this semiotic boundary and then looks at the city in Bohumil Hrabal’s novel In-House Weddings (1984). Methodologically, the article draws on semiotic works of J. M. Lotman and K. H. Stierle. Hrabal’s novel provides an image of the city in the period of political upheaval. This can be seen as a re-coding of the old arrangement of the city to a new one and is exemplified on the fates of several characters. Several borderline protagonists, namely the central protagonist – the narrator – and the character of the doctor come to the fore in this process. These, rather than creating the outer limits of the city, form its inner boundaries. They share some features with the inhabitants of the city, but also occupy the position of strangers. They belong neither to the old nor the new political establishment and attempt to flee the city or view it from the position that is different from both relatively static establishments. Further on, a key role in this respect is played by elements of disorder owing to which the city’s semiosphere vanishes into unrestrained chaos. In this respect, it is possible to relate Hrabal’s text to the catastrophic model that exceeds the purely semiotic approach.

The aim of this article is to analyse the exhibition semantics of the exposition of the H.S. Skovoroda National Literary and Memorial Museum (Ukraine, Kharkiv region). The authors substantiate the concept of dearchaisation of Skovoroda’s image by means of modelling the syntax and semantics of the exhibition space. According to the authors, exhibition design cannot ignore symbolism, as the principles of cultural consumption of “places of memory” function in the stream of consumption of a work of art. The viewer does not come for the subject, but for emotions and experience. Therefore, design should go beyond the physical properties of objects, subjects, compositions, and so on, and the content of any design should ultimately be the conditions for gaining new experience. The relationship between the material (object) and the imaginary (interpretation) is projected at the intersection of exhibition syntax and semantic modelling.

The paper deals with the problem of Eco’s (mis)interpretation of some Peirceian themes, mainly in Eco’s two texts: Theory of Semiotics and Kant and the Platypus. The author’s focus is on the problems of the so called Dynamical object as a part of semiosis and of Peirce’s realism. Resulting from the analysis is the main thesis of the article: We cannot conceive of Peirce as using „structuralist dictionary“ (as Eco did in his Theory of Semiotics).
