Social Semiotics

Social Semiotics is a journal dedicated to exploring the application of semiotics in social structures and everyday life, encompassing a wide range of semiotic resources and practices such as language, visual arts, body language, social environments, audio elements, and design layouts. These semiotic resources and practices not only form the foundation of our communication and understanding of the world but also play a key role in shaping social relationships and power dynamics. The journal encourages authors to deeply analyze specific semiotic phenomena, reveal how they generate meaning in different socio-cultural contexts, and critically assess how these semiotic practices may inadvertently reinforce or challenge existing social biases and power structures.

Furthermore, the journal advocates for interdisciplinary research perspectives, integrating theories and methods from fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and communication studies to enrich the understanding of semiotic phenomena. By publishing critical and innovative research, the journal aims to promote in-depth discussions of semiotics theory and practice, encourage reflection on the use and interpretation of signs in modern society, and consider how semiotic resources can foster a more equitable and inclusive social environment.

Social Semiotics provides a platform for scholars to showcase and exchange research findings, while also offering insights for policymakers and social workers to better understand and utilize semiotic resources to address social issues and promote social justice and cultural diversity. Through these efforts, the journal plays an active role both in academia and social practice.
