Semiotics
Systemic Semiotics
A Deductive Study of Communication and Meaning
Piotr Sadowski, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Against the background of often esoteric literature in semiotics, this book offers a fresh and rigorous new interpretation of how to approach the study of communication, signs and meaning. Grounded in a deductive theory of interacting systems, Piotr Sadowski provides an accessible account of the hierarchy of communication, and explores various applications of the theory to benefit scholars of language and philosophy, communication studies and literary and film studies.

Examining both the aesthetic aspects and symbolic roles of video game architecture as they relate to gameplay and storytelling, Gabriele Aroni explores the relationship between digital and real architecture, and the inspirations for digital gaming architecture. Combining semiotics and architecture theory and using case studies from NaissanceE, Assassin’s Creed II and Final Fantasy XV, The Semiotics of Architecture in Video Games discusses the techniques used to create successful virtual spaces and proposes a framework to analyse video games architecture.
