VERDICT This is a state-of-the-art survey of semiotic inquiry. Recommended for researchers in the field.

Semiotics in the Arts and Social Sciences testifies to the power of semiotics to innovate through the creation of new research paths, and to renovate by revisiting older paths and reshaping them through fundamental changes of perspectives. The result is an inspiring multidirectional and multidimensional programmatic chart that redraws boundaries and suggests uncharted territories in need of careful signage.

Bloomsbury Semiotics is a much-needed reference that promises to provide a very solid general and historical introduction to a complex way of thinking, but also introduces a very wide range of interdisciplinary approaches to the field.
