Mehso-so

A great overview and of what semiotics is and who shaped it. Easy accessible language and graphics. The illustrations were all delightful. Not fun. If you‘re looking for a good refresher or taking a class on Semiotics, I would highly recommend. But not really a recreational read.

An excellent refresher on the history of Semiotics. And I love the cartoons.

bookcollecter I love this series of books...I have quite a few including this one. I'd like to complete the collection one day. 5y

“More tellingly, Umberto Eco recently responded at some length to a request to define the domain of semiotics; some way into his answer it became apparent he was implying it was the whole of history.”

bookcollecter Indeed! Check out Roland Barthes as well...they did an introduction on him as well 5y
