"An increasingly important and complex concept in society, "learning" is raising new questions and challenges within research. As partial as I may be, here, I feel that semiotics is properly equipped to crack at least a few answers which, alone, is a good reason to engage into the reading of this monograph. But there is more. The five authors reflect the current landscape of edusemiotics in diverse yet complementary ways, producing a "pentagon" of approaches that is convincing in terms of competence, originality and argumentation. An excellent piece of work!"
Prof. Dr. Dario Martinelli, Director of the International Semiotics Institute.
"[ In this review] we do hope to convey at least a sense of the multiform, complex, and insightful nature of this multivoiced editorial enterprise. Each of the five authors investigates different aspects of learning and education, at times even differing in their interpretation of major semiotic perspectives, but complementing each other and reflecting the live nature of current debate in this domain, united in their common quest for a semiotic grounding of learning and education, without hesitating to challenge traditional approaches from other disciplines such as psychology and sociology, when deemed necessary."
