[Linganth] Part II of "Images, " special issue of Semiotics Review out now

[Constantine Nakassis]

Dear colleagues,



With apologies for cross-listing, we enthusiastically write to share the
publication of part II of “Images,” a special issue of *Semiotic Review*:
https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/issue/view/9.



Part II expands the issue’s interdisciplinary approach to the semiotic
study of images. The essays range from linguistic anthropology to visual
anthropology, religious to deaf studies, and Peircean semiotics to film
studies, taking up questions of how we transcribe and aesthetically
represent discursive data (Murphy
<https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/68>,
Hoffmann-Dilloway
<https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/69>),
image-making practices among the Nepali Deaf (Hoffmann-Dilloway
<https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/69>) and
Cuban Spiritists (Wirtz
<https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/70>), and the
Peircean semiotics of cinematic special effects (Lefebvre
<https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/71>).
