Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Semiotic Analysis of Cultural Texts:
The journal emphasizes the application of semiotic theory to analyze various cultural texts, including visual arts, performance, and media, investigating how meaning is constructed and conveyed. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ecology and Art:
A significant focus is on the relationship between ecology and art, examining how artistic practices can engage with ecological issues and contribute to discussions about environmental sustainability. - Exploration of Truth and Post-Truth Phenomena:
A core area of research involves the exploration of truth, falsehood, and post-truth narratives, analyzing their implications in contemporary society and cultural discourse. - Political and Ideological Dimensions of Art:
The journal investigates the political dimensions of artistic expression, exploring how art can serve as a medium for political critique and ideological reflection. - Performance and Mediation in Contemporary Culture:
Research often centers around the role of performance, both in theatrical settings and broader cultural events, and how these performances mediate social and political issues.
Trending and Emerging
- Ecosemiotics and Environmental Art:
There has been a marked increase in research that combines semiotics with ecological themes, particularly in how art can reflect and engage with environmental issues, highlighting the growing importance of sustainability in artistic discourse. - Post-Truth and Subjectivity:
The exploration of post-truth narratives and their impact on subjectivity has gained traction, reflecting societal anxieties and the complexities of truth in the age of misinformation. - Intermediality and Performance:
Emerging studies are increasingly focusing on the intersections between different media forms and performance, investigating how these interactions shape cultural narratives and audience experiences. - Politics of Representation:
A growing body of work examines the political implications of representation in art and media, emphasizing how these elements can influence public perception and social movements. - Art as Political Action:
Research is trending towards viewing art as a form of political action, where artistic practices are analyzed for their potential to provoke political engagement and social change.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Semiotics:
There appears to be a decline in papers focusing solely on traditional semiotic analysis without an interdisciplinary approach, suggesting a shift towards more integrated methodologies that combine semiotics with other fields. - Historical Semiotic Studies:
Research that delves deeply into historical semiotic theories or practices has diminished, reflecting a trend towards contemporary applications and relevance in current sociopolitical contexts. - Purely Theoretical Discussions:
There is a noticeable reduction in articles that engage primarily in theoretical discussions of semiotics without empirical or applied components, indicating a preference for practical applications over abstract theorization.
