Beschreibung:
Through a reevaluation of the work of some of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, this book details how semiotics, social sense, and social communication can function together to analyze how culture works in the contemporary era.
*Lotman, Juri. ( De Gruyter Mouton, 2010).While a foundational text exploring culture and semiotics from a European school of thought, this text does not serve as a true competitor as it is one of the originating texts in the field rather than one that engages current debates.
