Current Perspectives in Semiotics: Signs Signification and Communication Volume 1

This unique book, inspired by the work of Umberto Eco – one of the greatest semioticians of all times – provides a compelling overview of current developments in semiotic research, bringing together various academic voices and critical reflections on the nature and function of signs, signification, and communication. Contributors, including Eco himself, discuss the status quo of the discipline, its scope, theoretical orientations, and methodological approaches, shedding light on the cognitive and philosophical complexity of the meaning-making process and form-meaning interfaces. The book is an outcome of the SIVO Signum-Idea-Verbum-Opus project initiated by Umberto Eco’s keynote address during his visit at the University of?ód? in 2015. More theoretical insights and further explorations into contemporary semiosphere can be found in Current Perspectives in Semiotics: Texts, Genres, and Representations, published simultaneously by Peter Lang.Additional ISBNs9783631744307, 9783631766927, 3631744307, 3631766920Current Perspectives in Semiotics: Signs, Signification, and Communication, Volume 1 1st Edition and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
