Cultural semiotics
Abstract
The concept of ‘cultural semiotics’ can be interpreted in three ways. First, as referring to a methodological tool which can be recognized simultaneously in various disciplines of contemporary humanities and social sciences. It can also be considered as a concept representing the diversity of methods for analysing various aspects of culture as a research object in semiotic theory and applied semiotics, and finally, as one of the subdisciplines of semiotics and culture studies. In the last case, cultural semiotics has a holistic view to culture and features of discipline.
