Semiotika književnosti
The work is theoretically based, but also focused on application in literary analysis, which is why it plays an important role in Croatian literary theory and academic teaching.
Semiotics of Literature offers a theoretically clear and methodologically grounded overview of semiotic approaches to literature. The book connects the international theoretical tradition with the domestic academic context and serves as an important handbook for students and researchers of literature, especially those interested in structuralist and semiotic analysis of text. Beker starts from the fundamental concepts of sign and meaning, relying on key semiotic traditions (Saussure's linguistic semiotics and Peirce's general theory of the sign). He explains the relationship between the signifier and the signified and the role of convention in the production of meaning. Literature as a sign system...A literary text is presented as a complex act of communication in which meaning does not only arise from language, but also from literary codes, genre rules, cultural context and the reader's interpretation.
