Semiotics journals, book series, and blog of the department

The journal Sign Systems Studies was founded by Juri Lotman in 1964 under the title Труды по знаковым системам – Σημειωτικη. It is therefore the world’s oldest journal of semiotics and has become a key institution in the field of cultural semiotics. Originally published in Russian until 1992, it was relaunched in 1998 as an international peer-reviewed journal of cultural and nature semiotics. Since 2001, it has regularly published two issues per year, comprising more than 700 pages in total. The journal is also indexed in major academic databases.


Tartu Semiotics Library is an international book series in semiotics that publishes monographs, handbooks, dictionaries, textbooks, and edited collections. The series was established in 1998 by Peeter Torop, Mihhail Lotman, and Kalevi Kull.


The series Dissertationes Semioticae Universitatis Tartuensis publishes doctoral dissertations defended at the University of Tartu’s Department of Semiotics. The series was established in 2000.


Founded in 2001, Acta Semiotica Estica brings together Estonian-language research in semiotics and cultural analysis. The journal aims to promote semiotics as an academic discipline within the Estonian linguistic and cultural sphere, while presenting diverse research approaches and topics from Estonia and around the world. Since its third issue, published in 2006, Acta Semiotica Estica has been a peer-reviewed journal with an international editorial board. It is published by the Estonian Semiotics Association.


Hortus Semioticus is an online journal published by the University of Tartu’s Department of Semiotics, featuring semiotic research by students. Driven by curiosity and the joy of discovery, its contributors are distinguished by their refusal to operate on academic autopilot: for them, few things are taken for granted. This sets Hortus Semioticus apart from more traditional academic publications without placing it in opposition to them. Students are invited and encouraged to develop their research into scholarly articles. In addition to the journal, Hortus Semioticus also publishes blog posts.
