That "queer theory" utilizes semeiotics does not make it a branch of semeiotics - it is correct that "queer theory" apparently makes use of semeiotics.
What I am interested in is an unbias presentation of exactly what semeiotics is, what its particular concerns are, a description of major recognized theories esp. those from Peirce and Saussure, a description of the major personalities and an account of its influence (for example in Logic and Psychology), and links to external relevant resources.
Semeiotics is miscategorized - it should not primarily be under "critical theory" though there probably should be a redirect from here.
