To what extent can semiotics illuminate key problems in religious
studies, given the centrality of symbols, language, and other modes
of signification in religion and theology? The volume explores
semiotic methodologies for the study of religion, with an emphasis
on their critical and creative reconfigurations. The contributors
come from different specialties, such as cognitive science,
ethnography, linguistics, communication studies, art studies,
religious studies, philosophy of religion, and theology. Part One
consists of chapters focusing on theoretical perspectives. Part two
focuses on applications in texts and case studies while still
considering methodological issues. Many specific traditions and
perspectives are taken up, such as C. S. Peirce, A. J. Greimas and
the Paris School, Juri Lotman's semiotics of culture, Bruno Latour
and material semiotics, linguistic anthropology, social semiotics,
cognitive semiotics, embodied and enactive perspectives on language
and mind, semiotics of the image and iconicity, multimodality,
intertextuality, and semiotics of colors. The book provides readers
with a succinct overview of how contemporary semiotics can be
useful in understanding a broad array of topics in the study of
religion.
