From the semiotic perspective of Peirce (1839-1914), experience is fundamental in creating activism. In the case study, my focus is on practices of everyday life (Goffman, 1981), such as food considered as activism (Stano; Leone, 2023). The cases presented center around the dynamics of the digital semiosphere (Hartley, Ibrus, Ojamaa; 2020) for the creation of vegan diet activism in Uruguay. I comprehend that the digital semiosphere is crucial for the development of such dietary activism. In the semiosphere of Uruguay, everyday practices associated with the core of the dietary semiosphere predominantly revolve around omnivorous eating, primarily centered on meat consumption. The crucial question is whether it is feasible to integrate such activism into Uruguayan everyday dietary life. To address this, I provide examples of consumption practices in Uruguay, questioning whether they are intended to be integrated into the Uruguayan dietary semiosphere or not. Furthermore, I analyze the translation of these vegan activist practices into the digital sphere, specifically exploring the use of artificial intelligence for recipe searches and the creation of images transforming traditional Uruguayan cuisine into a vegan diet. In conclusion, I examine cases of activism during the traditional Expo Prado country fair and the consumption of vegan food in these traditional spaces.
