This means this, this means that : a user's guide to semiotics

From the Publisher: Semiotics is the theory of signs. Signs are amazingly diverse: from simple road signs that point to a destination, to smoke that warns us of fire, to the culturally-conditioned symbols buried within art and literature. Our reading of signs is very much a part of everyday life. Yet semiotics is often perceived as a mysterious science. This introductory book decodes the mystery of semiotics using visual examples instead of abstract theory. Divided into 75 key semiotic concepts, each section of the book begins with a single image or sign, accompanied by a question that invites us to interpret what we are seeing. Turning the page, we can compare our response with the theory behind the sign. In this way, we actively engage in creative thinking. Read straight through or dipped into regularly, this book provides practical examples of how meaning is made in contemporary culture.

  • "Viviamo immersi in un mondo di segni diversissimi - dal cartello stradale che indica una destinazione al fumo che segnala la presenza del fuoco, fino ai simboli più nascosti e complessi dell'arte e della letteratura - e creare, interpretare e comprendere i segni è una delle principali attività della nostra vita quotidiana. La semiotica ci permette di cogliere in che modo e secondo quali relazioni operino i segni nella nostra vita, sta quindi alla base di tutte le forme di comunicazione, eppure viene spesso percepita come una scienza arida e misteriosa. Questo libro si propone di decodificarne i segreti, avvalendosi degli esempi visivi in luogo delle solite astratte teorie. 76 concetti basilari della semiotica sono esemplificati, di volta in volta, attraverso testi, fotografie, opere pittoriche, disegni schematici; ognuno di questi è accompagnato da una domanda che invita il lettore a interpretare da solo ciò che sta osservando. Nella pagina successiva è l'autore che prende la parola, per inquadrare e mettere in prospettiva la problematica semiotica legata al concetto proposto. In tal modo, il lettore è impegnato a riflettere attivamente su ciò che vede, e ben presto, passando da un'immagine all'altra, si accorge di essere sempre più consapevole della natura del processo comunicativo e dei modi secondo i quali si forma il significato."
