Understanding the city through its semiotic spatialities.
The city is a complex sociocultural phenomenon where space and time are simultaneously parts of itself and parts of its conceptualisation. In the paper I draw out three general perspectives where the city is characterised by different spatialities and temporalities. The urban space can thus be a spa...

In the paper I draw out three general perspectives where the city is characterised by different spatialities and temporalities. The urban space can thus be a space of rhythms and practices, an objectified dimension of the settlement, and a symbolic form in interpretations and creations of cities. The city can be understood as a semiotic whole by considering varying semiotic natures of the urban space. Linn on keeruline sotsiokultuuriline nähtus, mille puhul ruum ja aeg on korraga osaks nii linnast enesest kui tema käsitlusviisist. Samuti on linna kirjeldus osaks linna semiootilisest tervikust. Artiklis visandan kolm linnasemiootilist perspektiivi, mille puhul linna iseloomustavad erinevad ruumilisused ja ajalisused. Nii on linnaruum rütmide ja praktikate ruum, asustuse üks objektiviseeritud mõõde ning sümboolne vorm, mille alusel linna interpreteerida ning linna luua. Linnaruumi semiootilisuste arvestamine võimaldab ka mõista linna semiootilise tervikuna. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Sign Systems Studies is the property of University of Tartu and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
