The American Society for Semiotics

The American Society for Semiotics (ASS) is an organization dedicated to studying signs, symbols, and meanings in various cultures and communication systems. It brings together scholars and researchers who analyze how we interpret language, images, and other signs in society. Through conferences, publications, and collaborations, ASS promotes the understanding of how signs influence perception, culture, and human interaction. Its work helps clarify the ways meaning is created and shared, enriching fields like anthropology, literature, media, and philosophy. Overall, ASS advances knowledge of how signs shape our understanding of the world around us.
