关于此电子书
This book emerged from a 9-month series of seminars at the Department of Semiotics at Tartu University in 2021-2022 as a Välis-Eesti Külalisprofessor, during which the linkages between semiotics and cultural psychology were scrutinized. In collaboration with doctoral students from various countries, the present SpringerBrief outlines the theoretical innovations that the author started during the seminars but completed in the two years after their end.
