Ecotouristic Networks and Semiosphere

An analysis of the Route of Emotions (RE) from the systemic perspective of Yuri Lotman

Abstract

This study analyzes the Route of Emotions under the approach of Yuri Lotman's semiosphere concept. The methodology consisted of a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through non-participant observation. It was concluded that the relationship structure of the semiosphere is complex, with greater permeability in the external borders, leading to the peripheralization of its geographical center. Communication is most active between the nucleus, spatially dispersed at the extremities. As they move to the periphery, communication weakens. The poles maintain dextrohemispheric tendencies and the peripheries, sinister-hemispheric, which justifies greater capacity of creation of the poles. The challenge is to integrate the semiosphere subsystems.
