About the Journal
LOGO∑FERA. Nizhny Novgorod Humanitarian Journal
The concept of the logosphere as a verbal-discursive environment of culture was first proposed by the renowned philosopher, literary scholar, and semiotician Roland Barthes. The editorial board of the journal LOGO∑FERA. Nizhny Novgorod Humanitarian Journal, following Roland Barthes, proceeds from the understanding that the logosphere captures traditions and changes in the mental and communicative spheres.
