UtskriftPerson
Jag är professor i semiotik vid Lunds Universitet, där jag leder Semiotikseminariet sedan 1986, samt Centrum för kognitiv semiotik, finansierat av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. Jag skapade forskarutbildningen i semiotik 1998.
Jag var den förste ordföranden för Svenska föreningen för semiotik, sffs och var ordförande för Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (NASS) 1992-20. Jag är också generalsekreterare för International Association for Visual Semiotics (IAVS/AISV), grundade i Blois, Frankrike sedan oktober 2001.
Jag har doktorerat i lingvistik i Lund och i semiotik vid École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales i Paris. Från 1974 till 1981 var jag medlem av Groupe de recherches sémio-linguistiques, i Paris, som leddes av A.J. Greimas, inom vilken jag organiserade en grupp som sysslade med gesternas semiotik. Mellan 1981 och 1982 ägande jag mig åt forskning och undervisning i semiotik och lingvistik i Mexico, särskilt tillämpad på mayaindianernas språk och kultur.

Om forskningen
Efter att jag hade doktorerat i allmän språkvetenskap i Lund 1978 och i semiotik i Paris samma år, så har jag mest sysslat med semiotisk forskning. Semiotik är vetenskapen om betydelser, också utanför språket. Mest har jag ägnat mig åt visuell semiotik, gesternas semiotik, kultursemiotik, semiotikens epistemologi, psykologisk-semiotiska experiment med barn och apor, och på senare tid evolutionssemiotik.
Sedan jag återkom till Sverige från Frankrike och Mexiko 1983 har jag etablerat den semiotiska forskningen här i landet. Fokus för mitt forskningsintresse har på senare tid legat på utvecklingen av semiotiska resurser hos människosläktet och barnet, först inom ramen för projektet Språk, gester och bilder i ett semiotisk utvecklingsperspektiv (SGB), som semiotikämnet genomförde i samarbete med lingvistik och kognitionsforskning, följt av EU-projektet Stages in the Evolution and Development of Sign Use (SEDSU), som var ett samarbetet med psykologer, primatologer och lingvister ute i Europa, och nu senast i Centre for cognitive semiotics, som innefattar företrädare för semiotik, lingvistik och flera andra humanistiska ämnen vid Lunds Universitet. Mitt senaste projekt, The Meeting of Them and Us (MATUS) gällde möten mellan olika kulturer i kultursemiotiska termer fördelade på två tidsperioden, upptäckten av andra kontinenter och samtiden.
Min bok Pictorial concepts (Lund: Lund University Press 1989) har fått internationell erkännande som ett grundläggande verk inom den visuella semiotiken. På svenska har jag också publicerat den första heltäckande läroboken som existerar på något språk i visuell semiotik Bildbetydelser (Lund: Studentlitteratur 1992). Jag har också varit en av utgivarna, med speciell inriktning på visuell semiotik, för Encyclopedia of Semiotics, utgiven av Oxford University Press 1998, för vilken jag också har skrivit många uppslagsord. Jag står som författare till översikten av bildens semiotik i Encyclopedic dictionary of semiotics Sebeok, T. A., & Danesi, M. (eds). Berlin; New York: De Gruyter Mouton 2010. och i Handbook of Visual communication, Machin, D. 23-50. Berlin: DeGruyter 2014, samt av fotografiets semiotik i International Handbook of Semiotics. Trifonas, P. (ed.), 417- 483. Berlin: Springer 2015. Tillsammans med David Dunér utgav jag 2016 Human Lifeworlds: The Cognitive Semiotics of Cultural Evolution. Frankfurt/M.: Peter Lang.
Jag var en av grundarna av Association internationelle de sémiotique visuelle i Blois 1989 och av International Association for Cognitive Semiotics i Aarhus in 2013.
