Interpretive Sociology and the Semiotic Imagination
Bristol University Press (Verlag)
978-1-5292-1174-0 (ISBN)
Semiotics provides key analytical tools to understand the creation and reproduction of meaning in social life. Although some fields have productively incorporated semiotic models, sociology still needs to engage with semiotic mediation.
Written by a diverse group of authors in interpretive sociology, this ambitious volume asks what the relationship between meaning systems and action is, how we can describe culture and which roles we assign to language, social processes and cognition in a sociological context. Contributors offer empirical research that not only outlines the conceptual issues at stake, but also demonstrates ‘how to do things’ with semiotics through case studies.
Synthesizing a diverse and fragmented landscape, this is a key reference work for scholars interested in the connection between semiotics and sociology.
Andrea Cossu is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Trento. Jorge Fontdevila is Professor of Sociology at California State University.
