Semiotics 2021: The year in review
Semiotics 2021: The year in review

Summary/Abstract: With an aim to coalesce the state of the art in semiotics, this essay is the first in a series of annual reviews planned between Semiotica and Sign Systems Studies (henceforth, SSS), the two longest running international journals in semiotics. If interest grows in the project, it may be possible to expand the scope of the series to include other journals in semiotics (see Kull and Maran 2013 for a worldwide overview of journals in semiotics). The aim of the review is to provide a thematic summary of related research paths taken in the respective journals during the previous year (in this case 2021). Since all such papers have already been vetted by the peer review processes, our aim is not critically-oriented; instead, we wish to indicate various theoretical and topical parallels, overlapping intersections and directions that can be identified in the previous year’s output, without attempting to make connections between each individual article.
