A New Semiotics

Reviews / Votes

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.
