The materiality of narrative spaces: A theatre semiotics perspective into the teaching of physics
-
Panagiotis Pantidos
Abstract
In this article we discuss the concept of “materiality” within a framework created by two apparently divergent fields, which, however, converge with regard to their pedagogical and communicative content. Theatre semiotics proposes forms and structures that shed light on such material aspects of learning environments related to physics as the instantiation of “narrative spaces.” Our perspective focuses first on the modalities by means of which various sign-vehicles (i.e., verbal, visual, kinesic-corporeal or sound-related signs), being agents of narration, define spaces, and, second, on how such spaces as referents are linked with reality (i.e., on real, imaginary, and abstract spaces).
