(2018) 13th IASS-AIS conference In Proceedings of the World Congress of the International Association for Semiotic Studies (IASS/AIS) p.787-797- Abstract
- This paper is part of my ongoing doctoral research centered on “Street Art and Cognitive Semiotics: The case of Athens” at the division of Cognitive Semiotics at Lund University.

This study is based on fieldwork research that was carried out during several periods in central Athens between 2014 and 2017, including photo documentation and semi-structured ethnographic interviews with street artists. In the following, my intention is first to outline a cognitive semiotic conceptual toolbox for street art understanding... (More)

Second, three concrete examples indicative of these attempts are examined and analyzed semiotically. (Less)
