Two statisms of Putin’s ideology: From Proclamations of Patriotic Values to Welfare Promises of Wartime Mobilization
The article explores how the ideology of Putin's regime is configured depending on the purposes for which it is used. It examines how the Kremlin's attempt to mobilize the nation through ideology after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine aligns with its broader strategies of utilizing ideology. To understand variations in the Kremlin's discourse, the study contrasts two conceptual configurations: patriotic statism (state as the ultimate value, req…
Strategic culture as a meaning-making system: Towards a social semiotic account of multimodal cultural constraints in international relations
The article reconsiders the notion of strategic culture using fundamental categories of general and social semiotics, which make it possible to systematise and instrumentalise this concept while preserving its broad scope. The proposed framework suggests a relationalist reconceptualisation of strategic culture based on Charles Peirce's semiotic theory, thereby helping to transcend the existing controversy about how culture-as-ideas, culture-as-ar…
Against Putin and Corruption, for Navalny and the “Revolution”
This article seeks to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of the nationwide protests that appeared in Russia as a result of the large-scale political campaigns of 2017–18. On the basis of an original database devoted to six protests, organized in this period by different anti-systemic opposition leaders and organizations, the study explores the turnout and geographic scope of these events and the repertoire of frames that were used to …
Logonomic signs as three-phase constraints of multimodal social semiosis
The article introduces the concept of the logonomic sign as an elaboration on Hodge and Kress's promising yet under-examined ideas about logonomic systems. Logonomic signs are defined as socially devised signs that constrain multimodal semiosis by restricting who is able to produce what signs under what circumstances. Based on the Peircean categories, the functioning of logonomic signs is modeled as a three-phase process of (1) logonomic understa…
International studies in an unpredictable world: Still Avoiding the Difficult Problems
We revisit and empirically evaluate crucial yet under-examined arguments articulated in “God Gave Physics the Easy Problems” (2000), the authors of which emphasized that, in International Relations (IR) predictions, predominant nomothetic approaches should be supplemented with concrete scenario thinking. We test whether the IR predictive toolkit is in fact dominated by nomothetic generalizations and, more broadly, map the methodological profile o…
Social Semiotics: Paths towards Integrating Social and Semiotic Knowledge
This article outlines major trends in the development of social semiotics during the last four decades of its existence. The starting point was the interface between functional analysis of the semiotic system of language and the structural interpretation of language as a social system. Their convergence provided the basis for further developing an interdisciplinary domain of social semiotics. Michael Halliday’s book “Language as social semiotic: …
Memes, genes, and signs: Semiotics in the conceptual interface of evolutionary biology and memetics
In 1976, Richard Dawkins coined the term meme as a way to metaphorically project bio-evolutionary principles upon the processes of cultural and social development. The works of Dawkins and of some other enthusiasts had contributed to a rise in popularity of the concept of memetics ("study of memes"), but the interest to this new field started to decline quite soon. The conceptual apparatus of memetics was based on a number of quasi-biological ter…
