A New Semiotics: An Introductory Guide for Students
Autor David Sless, Ruth Shrenskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2023
The authors start off by asking ‘What is semiotics?’ and go on to outline a journey towards a new semiotics. It offers a clearer way forward out of the prison of complexity invented by the fathers of contemporary semiotics—Peirce and Saussure. Each chapter ends with a summary, exercises and discussion points for students, and further reading.
This is the ideal text for introductory courses in semiotics within linguistics, communication studies, visual arts and related areas.

Recenzii
A New Semiotics continues the journey started by David Sless with Learning and Visual Communication, 1981 and In Search of Semiotics, 1986.
From reviews of In Search of Semiotics:
"In Search of Semiotics is an important book. It is a controversial book. It may even interrupt some of the more impenetrable forms of semiotics that terrify students and academics alike."
-- Keyan G Tomaselli, The University of Johannesburg and the University of KwaZulu-Natal
"David [Sless] was one of the first to write clearly and accessibly about cultural semiotics: he argues fluently and provocatively, taking us on a lively intellectual journey that is far easier for readers to follow than most other books on the subject at the time."
-- Susan Petrilli, University of Bari and Thomas A. Sebeok Fellow of the Semiotic Society of America
A New Semiotics is a clear-eyed, readable reassessment of interpretive semiotics. Written in a conversational style suitable for students, the book also delivers much for media researchers and practitioners to consider.

Descriere
A New Semiotics is an introductory guide to the field of semiotics. Assuming no prior knowledge of semiotics, this accessible text takes a fresh look at semiotics and suggests that many of the forebears and many contemporary contributors to semiotics have misconstrued the nature of their work.
