"This book examines how human inner life can be translated in different arts and between the arts. It shows the arts as a tool of communication using a wide array of case studies taken from different times and cultures. The methodological perspective is multidimensional covering translation studies and semiotics studies, as well as different arts' fields - music, literature, film, visual arts, multimedia and video games. The book combines these approaches and tools for each field in order to create a newapproach that permits an examination of the process of translation in various arts connected to human inner life"--
The book examines how so-called human inner life – feelings, emotions, sentiments and self-reflection – permeates different forms of art.
The methodological perspective is multidimensional covering translation studies and semiotics studies, including semiotics of passion, semiotics of culture, existential semiotics and biosemiotics, as well as different arts' fields – music, literature, film, visual arts, multimedia and video games. The book combines these approaches and tools for each field in order to create a new approach that permits an examination of the process of translation in various arts connected to human inner life. In this way, the reader can see the complexity of human inner life from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Malgorzata Gamrat has brought together here some remarkable researches on the transposition of inner life into the arts, against the backdrop of a common semiotic concept: translation. If we consider that the arts translate inner life, this means that it already has a semiotic form, which can be transposed into artistic expressions. The issue is the production of new cultural meanings. And Lotman has taught us that the more difficult the translation, the richer the meaning. * Jacques Fontanille, President of the International Association of Semiotics, University of Limoges, France * The rich collective volume edited by Malgorzata Gamrat attracts immediately. This is a book everyone craves to read. The integration of semiotic and psychological thinking about and with art, and what arts work can do to its viewers, brings the cultural process of our contact with art into an understanding of why it is we are so keen to be with art. And the approaches are so diverse, so interdisciplinary, that the reader will learn enormously from it. * Mieke Bal, Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis *
