Tourists, Signs and the City

The Semiotics of Culture in an Urban Landscape

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on the work of American scientist and philospher Charles S. Peirce concerning the interpretation of signs, this book offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the interaction between urban environments and tourists. It argues that tourists make sense of, and draw meaningful conclusions about, the places in which they tour based upon the interpretation of the signs or elements encountered within the built environment.
