The development of semiotics continues to collide with theories from different fields, and this intersection of disciplines often breaks down the traditional boundaries of the humanities and explores the spectrum of human knowledge in a more macroscopic way. In the section “Eastern European Marxist Semiotics,” Fu Qilin and Wei Xiaojin introduce the poetic construction of Solomon Marcus's mathematical thinking in an attempt to turn “mathematics in the liberal arts” into “the liberal arts in mathematics”. Zhu Hongxu examines the structure, function and ethical exploration of Henry Wald's aesthetics of humour whilst Shao Shuai introduces the development of the Marxist philosophy of language in Eastern Europe. These innovative interpretations of traditional propositions reflect the critical absorption of semiotics by Eastern European scholars in all its aspects, and represent an important part of the history of world semiotics theory.
The common focus of anthropology and semiotics on human culture has long led to intersections between the two. The Peircean approach has expanded into a new way of studying meaning that is different from that of structural anthropology. In the section “Semiotic Anthropology”, Professor Nicholas Harkness of the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University provides a detailed overview and profound analysis of the disciplinary history, core elements and developmental trends of semiotic anthropology. Li Fei examines the generation and transformation of the multi-ethnic “savage” stories in the Tibetan-Yi Corridor and the habitat and identity of these stories. Zhao Xingzhi discusses the history, influence, and revelation of indexicality in semiotic anthropology, and Xue Chen introduces a paradigm innovation in semiotic anthropology by combining the theory of qualia with Peircean semiotic theory.
In addition, this collection includes fascinating discussions by scholars on the semiotics of communication, emotion, literature, and narratology. By digging deeper into the classics and examining new phenomena, the exploration of meaning in all fields of semiotics continues apace.
