Summary

Where is semiotics now? As the promised science of the social life of signs in general, semiotics has not been good to its word. Beyond Semiotics provides an approach to three interdependent concepts of text, culture and technology, in order to show what semiotics had always had to marginalize, forget or not see in the quest to professionalize itself.
