Douglas Niño
His work is devoted to the study of the constitution of meaning in agents’ experience, as well as its production, circulation, interpretation or consumption and the resources involved. It also examines applications in different fields and areas of social and cultural life through an approach called Agentive Semiotics.
His work connects with traditions such as phenomenology and American pragmatism, as well as specific areas within cognitive science, logic, semantics, the social sciences and the humanities.
