"Semiotic Landscapes" is an exciting addition to the study of
linguistic landscapes.
It looks at how landscape generates meaning and combines three
major areas of scholarly interest each concerned with central
dimensions of contemporary life: language and visual discourse,
spatial practices, and also the changes bought about by global
capitalism and ever increasing mediatization.
The editors look at: the textual/discursive construction of place;
the use of space as a semiotic resource; the extent to which these
processes are shaped by wider economic and political re-orderings
of post-industrial or advanced capitalism; changing patterns of
human mobility and transnational flows of ideas and images.
The collection demonstrates the way written discourse interacts
with all other discursive modalities: visual images, nonverbal
communication, architecture and the built environment. From the red
light districts of Switzerland to the transgressive public art of
graffiti, all landscape can be seen to generate meaning. "Semiotic
Landscapes" looks at how and why, and places this meaning
generation in an interdisciplinary and thoroughly modern
cross-section of global trends.
