Abstract

The word edusemiotics was coined by Marcel Danesi (2010) to indicate a new interdisciplinary field of inquiry that has emerged as a result of the last decade of my research in the intersection of educational philosophy and semiotics – or the science of signs. Edusemiotics transcends the long-standing disciplinary boundaries between humanities and sciences. According to the American pragmatic philosopher and founder of modern semiotics Charles Sanders Peirce, the whole universe is perfused with signs whose action in nature, culture and the human psyche constitutes the dynamical process of semiosis.
