About the Journal

Semiotic Review (ISSN: 3066-8107) takes the notion of semiotics in its most polyphonic sense. The journal's scope encompasses a wide range of research – from the study of signaling behavior in evolutionary biology through the analysis of the discursive formation of ideologies in human societies; from critical investigations of literary and linguistic theories all the way to the vagaries of fashion, consumer culture, and the production of political and entertainment spectacles. It welcomes diverse approaches to semiotics – Peircean and pragmat(ic)ist, Saussurean, (post)Greimassean, and Lotmanian, humanist and post-humanist, as developed in anthropology, linguistics, cultural studies, biology and ecology, and beyond. It endeavors to contribute to the advancement of knowledge by facilitating the communication of the most recent research across disciplinary boundaries.

Semiotic Review publishes original scholarly essays and other interventions on topics that develop critical perspectives exploring semiotic themes, organized either in thematic issues or in its Varia section. Both are ongoing, open issues that accept new papers and publishes them on a rolling basis. No issue is ever closed and new material can continue to be added to them indefinitely.

Semiotic Review was formerly The Semiotic Review of Books [1990-2012]. An archive of past issues can be accessed here.
