Excellent- More about Trajectories of Translation: The Thermodynamics of Semiosis
This book builds on Maraiss innovative (Bio)Semiotic Theory of Translation to explore the implications of this conceptualization of translation as the semiotic work from which social-cultural reality emerges and chart the way forward for applications in empirical research. The volume brings together some of the latest developments in biosemiotics, social semiotics, and Peircean semiotics with emergent work in translation studies to better understand the emergence of trajectories in society-culture through semiotic processes.

This groundbreaking book expands on Maraiss pioneering A (Bio)Semiotic Theory of Translation, delving into the profound implications of viewing translation as the semiotic process that gives rise to social-cultural reality. It charts a clear path forward for applications in empirical research, drawing upon the latest advancements in biosemiotics, social semiotics, and Peircean semiotics, as well as emerging work in translation studies. By integrating these diverse fields, the volume aims to enhance our understanding of how semiotic processes shape the emergence of trajectories in society-culture.
Furthermore, the book delves into the intriguing realm of thermodynamics, drawing inspiration from the work of Terrence Deacon. It explores the fascinating ways in which ideas emerge from matter, giving birth to meaning, and the contrasting forces that constrain matter. Marais skillfully weaves these theoretical threads into empirical case studies, providing practical insights for operationalizing these concepts in future empirical work.
This comprehensive book is designed for academics and postgraduate students engaged in the fields of translation studies, semiotics, multimodal/multimedial studies, cultural studies, and development studies. It offers a wealth of knowledge and insights that will deepen their understanding of the complex dynamics between language, culture, and society.
