Summary:

The book examines how so-called human inner life - feelings, emotions, sentiments and self-reflection - permeates different forms of art. The methodological perspective is multidimensional covering translation studies and semiotics studies, including semiotics of passion, semiotics of culture, existential semiotics and biosemiotics, as well as different arts' fields - music, literature, film, visual arts, multimedia and video games. The book combines these approaches and tools for each field in order to create a new approach that permits an examination of the process of translation in various arts connected to human inner life. In this way, the reader can see the complexity of human inner life from an interdisciplinary perspective.
