This book does not offer an elite understanding of the field of "cultural semiotics." It does not engage in theoretical debate about its concepts and trends. Rather, it presents a living practice of the world of signs as we observe and experience it, as we contribute to its production and promotion, and as we are influenced by it and as it influences us. This means that we adopt an expanded concept of the text, one that transcends the narrow confines that have limited it to literary texts or written and oral records in general. Here, the text expands to include everything that plays an important role in culture, such as paintings, architecture, clothing, games, and words. Therefore, it is concerned with all the phenomena and signs of life that concern you, which you find around you everywhere.
