DESCRIPTION
Semiotics is often defined as the study of signs and of the production of meaning. We are now, more than ever exposed to an incredible multitude and variety of signs as access to information, culture and contents of any kind are practically available in seconds. The course can be understood as a discovery of different semiotic fields, such as media semiotics, literary semiotics, design and product semiotics, visual and narrative semiotics and music semiology. Emphasis is put on a hands-on approach. During the first sessions, students will be exposed to a large variety of material allowing them to perceive astonishing similarities.
