An Introduction to Existential Semiotics

Existential semiotics examines the state of a sign before its existence or how a sign came into existence. This is a brief introduction to existential semiotics with simplified explanations of its parts and sub-parts with examples. The treatise is written keeping in mind the confusions that may arise while studying the theory. Therefore, the first part deals with questions like ´Why Study Existential Semiotics?´ and ´What Does Existential Semiotics Actually Do?´. It is to give the readers an overview of the theory with what each important term in the theory stands for. Afterwards, I tried to explore the theory from various perspectives, starting from feminism (gender theory), photography, linguistics, philosophy, structural athropology, and literature to physics, biology, spiritual philosophy, marxism, and autism. This part of the book is meant to illustrate the exploratory parts of the theory. It will exemplify the vastness of the theory and its numerous applications. This is again to show how the theory may expand if applied in various fields. This treatise is meant to be an introductory guide to existential semiotics and to elucidate the terminologies for better understanding and exploration.
