Orphan date October 2008 The phrase semiotic anthropology was first used by Milton Singer 1978 . Singer s work brought together the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roman Jakobson with theoretical streams that had long been flowing in and around the University of Chicago , where Singer taught. In the late 1970s, Michael Silverstein a young student of Jakobson s at Harvard University joined Singer in Chicago s Department of Anthropology. Since that time, anthropological work inspired by Peirce s semiotic have proliferated, in part as students of Singer and Silverstein have spread out across the country, developing semiotic anthropological agendas of their own.

Semiotic democracy is a phrase first coined by John Fiske media studies John Fiske , a media studies professor , in his seminal media studies book Television Culture . ref name Fiske John Fiske, Television Culture Routledge, 1987 . ref Fiske defined the term as the delegation of the production of meanings and pleasures to television s viewers. ref name Fiske rp 236 Fiske discussed how rather than being passive couch potatoes that absorbed information in an unmediated way, viewers actually gave their own meanings to the shows they watched that often differed substantially from the meaning intended by the show s producer. Subsequently, this term was appropriated by the technical and legal community in the context of any re working of cultural imagery by someone who is not the original author. Examples include Harry Potter slash fiction that reworks J. K. Rowling s characters into homosexual romances.

Characteristics of an effective audit regime include harsh penalties for any misleading or fraudulent disclosures to the auditor that are strictly enforced publicly visible reports and definitions, e.g. for capital economics capital categories an incorruptible profession of auditor s that adheres to strict ethical code s, and whose careers are permanently and irrevocably destroyed by any serious impropriety strict standards to declare conflict of interest , and rules to prevent competitive arrangements that tend to create such conflicts, e.g. not permitting the auditor to also act as a consultant on meeting the regime s requirements. After major accounting scandal s in the United States that became publicly visible in 2001 and 2002, and the controversies about various ways of claiming carbon credit s under the Kyoto Protocol , there has been increasing attention paid to audit regimes in the English speaking world.

A fire regime is the pattern, frequency and intensity of the bushfire s and wildfire s that prevails in an area. ref cite web url http www.pbs.org wgbh nova fire plants.html title How Plants Use Fire And Are Used By It author Stephen J. Pyne publisher NOVA online accessdate 2009 06 30 ref It is an integral part of fire ecology , and renewal for certain types of ecosystem s. If fires are too frequent, plants may be killed before they have matured, or before they have set sufficient seed to ensure population recovery. If fires are too infrequent, plants may mature, senesce and die, without ever releasing their seed. The ecological need to provide an appropriate fire regime is often at odds with the principles and goals of bushfire management , which aims to manage the human and financial costs of bushfires. One of the strategies employed is frequent prescribed burn s. By firing the bush at frequent, regular intervals, the bush is burnt before much fuel has built up, ensuring a low intensity burn that is easily managed. Both the higher frequency of fire, and the low intensity, may have ecological implications as may the tendency to burn off outside the usual bushfire season. Australia Bushfire is especially important in Australia , where much of the vegetation has evolved in the presence of regular fires caused by the Australian Aborigine Aboriginal practice of firestick farming . As a result of this, components of the vegetation are adapted to, and depend upon, a particular fire regime, and their survival is affected by disruption of that fire regime. An example is found in the many Banksia species that are both fire sensitive and serotinous these species are killed by fire, but fire also triggers the release of seed, ensuring population recovery. Under an ideal fire regime, a plant that recruits following a bushfire will have sufficient time to mature and build an adequately large bank of seed, before the next fire kills it and triggers seed release.

Matrimonial regimes , or marital property systems , are systems of property ownership between spouse s providing for the creation or absence of a marital estate land estate , and if created, what properties are included in that estate, how and by whom it is managed, and how it will be divided and inheritance inherited at the end of the marriage . Matrimonial regimes are applied either by operation of law or by way of prenuptial agreement in Civil law legal system Civil law countries, and depend on the lex domicilii of the spouses at the time of or immediately following the wedding . See e.g. Civil Code of Quebec Quebec Civil Code and Civil Code of France French Civil Code , arts. 431 492. . In Common law countries, the default and only matrimonial regime is separation of property, though some U.S. states, known as community property states, are an exception. Civil law and bijuridical jurisdictions, including Quebec , Louisiana , France , South Africa , Italy , Germany , Switzerland , and many others, have statute statutory default matrimonial regimes, in addition to or, in some cases, in lieu of regimes that can only be contracted by prenuptial agreement s. Generally, couples marry into some form of community property community of property by default, or instead contract out under separate property separation of property or some other regime through a prenuptial agreement passed before a civil law notary Civil law notary or other public officer solemnizing the marriage. Five countries, including the Netherlands , have signed on to the Hague Convention on the Law applicable to Matrimonial Property Regimes, which entered into force on 1 September 1992, which allows spouses to choose not only the regimes offered by their country, but also any regime in force in the country where at least one is a citizen or resident or where marital real estate is situated.

Semiotics Semiotic literary criticism , also called literary semiotics , is the approach to literary criticism informed by the theory of signs or semiotics . Semiotics, tied closely to the structuralism pioneered by Ferdinand de Saussure , was extremely influential in the development of literary theory out of the formalist approaches of the early twentieth century. The early forms of literary semiotics grew out of formalist approaches to literature, especially Russian formalism , and structuralist linguistics, especially the Prague linguistic circle Prague school . Notable early semiotic authors included Vladimir Propp , Algirdas Julius Greimas , and Viktor Shklovsky . These critics were concerned with a formal analysis of narrative forms which would resemble a literary mathematics, or at least a literary syntax , as far as possible. They proposed various formal notations for narrative components and transformations and attempted a descriptive taxonomy of existing stories along these lines. Propp s Morphology of the Folktale orig. Russian pub. 1928 English trans. 1958 provides an example of the formal and systematic approach. In successive chapters, Propp analyzes the characters, plot events, and other elements of traditional folktales primarily from Russia and Eastern Europe . For each of these key components he provides a letter designation with superscripts to designate specific subtypes . He proceeds to analyze individual tales by transposing them into this notation and then to generalize about their structure. For example Analysis of a simple, single move tale of class H I, of the type kidnapping of a person. 131. A tsar, three daughters .
