The cultural sciences are now being re-established as an important paradigm for demanding interdisciplinarity and for considering the responsibility of researchers in their work.
Making Sense, Making Science demonstrates the federative relevance of the methodology of the cultural sciences and semiotics of cultures, using critical, historical and comparative principles to approach both cultural objects and the disciplines that account for them. The scientific activity that has been ethically rethought in its dimension as an interpretative act, responsible for human and natural beings, is recorded here both in time and at a given time (diachrony and synchrony).
This book invites the renewal of academic thought and disciplines, and innovatively reconnects the language sciences to the scientific, artistic and ethico-political spheres.
