Semiotics surround people, and as a scientific approach, the study of signs, to use the easiest definition, helps people to learn more about “meaning-making” or how these signs around people came into existence and what they intend to tell people. That semiotics can be applied to war is relatively unsurprising, considering that war per se is a form of order – in the double sense of namely with regard to the use and legitimization of violence applied by professionals to defeat an enemy due to economic, political, religious, or other reasons. War is usually systematized violence, even if the latter can go to extreme levels, for example when genocides are carried out under the cover of war. The violence used in wartime is sanctioned, although war-related environments often lead to a reconsideration or reframing of the violence level that can be tolerated by the soldiers, especially when used in a decontextualized way against civilians.
