About IJMS&DS

The International Journal of Marketing Semiotics & Discourse Studies is an open-source, double blind-reviewed academic journal that covers a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary marketing/semiotic/discourse analytic research streams, spanning:

- Conceptual approaches and empirical research across the 5 P's by drawing on different semiotic (post-structuralist, sociosemiotic, Peircean, structuralist, cultural, textual, visual, multimodal) and discourse analytic perspectives.

- Consumer cultural theory and research

            - Cultural experiences, artefacts, practices, spectacles

            - In virtual, ‘real’, hyperreal environments

            - In individual or community settings

- Methodological frameworks for conducting research into product/service/retail branding, brand identity development, brand equity, packaging design, competitive packaging analysis, new product development, pricing, advertising, IMC development and competitive analysis, consumer behavior (offline and online).

- Comparing and contrasting existing marketing research conceptual and methodological frameworks with discourse analytic/semiotic ones.

- Cross-disciplinary approaches on marketing research issues that combine discourse analysis and semiotics with perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities, such as anthropology, literary studies, psychoanalysis, anthropology, rhetoric, sociology.
