Zeitschrift für Semiotik

This issue deals with semiotic aspects of metropolitan studies. Urban signs range from traffic signs and street names to monuments, street art and advertising to semiotic aspects of architecture and urban design. The issue's contributions deal with the memory culture of monuments and street names, the changing aesthetic perception of neon signs, political protest communication, phonetic transcriptions in graffiti and advertising, and QR codes as a link between urban and digital or virtual spaces.
