About the Book

This book analyzes Persian carpets through the holistic and multifaceted perspective of cultural linguistics and semiotics, unveiling the deep connections between art, tradition, and collective memory. Persian carpets have been admired as masterpieces of intricate craftsmanship and profound cultural symbolism throughout history. This book takes this appreciation to an entirely new level by drawing on a new analytical framework and offering a platform for future studies in cultural conceptualizations and semiotics. By weaving together elements of history, culture, and artistic expression, this book presents an innovative perspective on Persian carpets, highlighting the deep and varied cultural heritage of Iran and its enduring influence on global art and civilization. Beyond academic circles, the book serves a wide and diverse readership--from students and researchers in visual arts, cultural linguistics, semiotics, anthropology, history, sociolinguistics, and Persian studies, to art enthusiasts and general readers captivated by the cultural richness of Persian carpets. Whether viewed as a scholarly resource or a fascinating journey into Iranian artistry, this book stands as a must-read for anyone drawn to the profound meaning woven into these magnificent artifacts.
