Prof. Robert Yelle is a widely acclaimed expert in the field of semiotics. His research interests also extend to performance theory, pragmatics, rhetoric and ritualization based on extensive study of colonial language politics in India and more recently on studies of semiotic shifts in the history of religion and ideas in Europe. He is newly appointed to the University of Munich and will deeply enrich our previous discussions on aesthetics with his understanding of semiotics.
