Vol. 39 No. 1-2 (2017): Semiotik als Theorie der Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften

The digital humanities are a dynamic field of research at the interface between research questions in the humanities and applied computer science. Can semiotics contribute to a better theoretical underpinning of this highly innovative research? The articles in this issue examine the promise of semiotic theories and terminologies for the reflection and development of the digital humanities, where new and innovative approaches towards complex multimodal texts and communication have recently been developed.
