Journal Title: Punctum
Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2015
Semiotics of the Web
Special issue of Punctum
The inaugural special issue on the ‘Semiotics of the Web’ is intended to
connect the launch of the international semiotics journal Punctum with the
most epoch-making and challenging recent development in the space of semiosis.
In the past two decades the growth of the Web has vastly expanded the
boundaries and complexity of the semiosphere, fostering, at the same time, its
radical restructuring. Amongst the wealth of cross-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary responses these developments have provoked semiotics has
been largely absent. Although regularly employed in more instrumentally
oriented tasks, like webpage design and e-marketing, semiotic theory and
research had failed to address the manifold issues raised by this whole new
continent of signs and meaning-making processes in any sustained and
systematic fashion.
Underscoring the need to recast the priorities of current semiotic research,
the special issue on the ‘Semiotics of the Web’ aspires to contribute to the
advancement of the semiotic study of communication processes and practices on
the Web by inviting papers which engage in the analytical and critical
investigation of the diverse Web environments, cultures and applications
focusing on topics such as: graphic user interfaces, website design, digital
symbol and sign systems, codes and textualities, digital literacies,
epistemologies and ontologies, social networks, multiplayer games, online
communication, identities and interaction.
Prospective authors should submit an abstract of approximately 300 words by
mail to Gregory Paschalidis (paschagr@jour.auth.gr), including affiliation and
contact information. Acceptance of the abstract does not guarantee
publication, given that all full research articles go through the journal’s
peer review process.
