Abstract:

Critical Semiotics provides long overdue answers to questions at the junction
of information, meaning and 'affect'. The affective turn in cultural studies
has received much attention: a focus on the pre-individual bodily forces,
linked to automatic responses, which augment or diminish the body's capacity
to act or engage with others. In a world dominated by information, how do
things that seem to have diminished meaning or even no meaning still have so
much power to affect us, or to carry on our ability to affect the world?

Linguistics and semiotics have been accused of being adrift from the affective
turn and not accounting for these visceral forces beneath or generally other
from conscious knowing. In this book, Gary Genosko delivers a detailed
refutation, with analyses of specific contributions to critical semiotic
approaches to meaning and signification. People want to understand how other
people are moved and to understand embodied social actions, feelings and
passions at the same time as understanding how this takes place. Semiotics
must make the affective turn.
