The journal Signa focuses on the analysis of cultural products and artistic expressions, particularly through theoretical-literary, semiotic, and interdisciplinary approaches. It examines contemporary song lyrics as a literary genre, the discourses within film magazines, the role of objects in memory studies, the philosophy of technology, and the representation of reality in fantastic narratives. The journal also explores temporality in film and performance, the use of digital tools, the concept of the non-actor in theatre and audiovisual media, and the semiotics of health warnings and poetry.
