Item Semiótica y Discursos “Metadiscurso en la película Arrival” los problemas del lenguaje interespecie(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Comunicación, 2025-02-20) Duque Panchi, Kevin Eduardo; JProaño Zurita, enny de los ÁngelesSemiotics and the Study of Objects Semiotics, as a discipline that studies signs and their meanings, has its roots deeply embedded in ancient civilizations. This field emphasizes how humans have transformed everyday objects into cultural symbols, assigning them both social and individual significance. From early tools to contemporary artifacts, these objects not only reflect functionality but also embody cultural values, applied technologies, and historical contexts. The Meaning of Objects Objects, according to the Royal Spanish Academy, are things perceived or that become subjects of human thought. Beyond their technical definition, they represent extensions of the human body, mediating between human action and the environment. Tools, such as hammers, not only fulfill practical functions but also carry memories associated with their use, contributing to the creation and perpetuation of cultural meanings. Homo Faber: Humanity as a Creator Before becoming a rational being, humans were homo faber, or toolmakers. This distinctive ability to shape and transform the environment, beyond merely satisfying immediate needs, sets humans apart from other species. This creative process is both conscious and intentional, resulting in a world molded by human action. Objects become extensions of human physical and psychological capabilities, facilitating life and enhancing control over nature. Methodological Approach My methodological approach focuses on qualitative research, a strategy aimed at capturing and accurately describing the context in which a phenomenon, behavior, or situation occurs. To achieve this, I have designed a semiotic analysis applied to a selection of key scenes from the film Arrival (2016). This movie, situated within the science fiction genre, offers a unique perspective on the relationship between language and reality, serving as an ideal starting point to delve into the study of interactions between communication, perception, and culturally constructed meanings
