- Saussure: Semiology or Semiotics
- Write on screen "I went to a book sale and all I bought was a semicolon." Discuss what makes this funny? Illustrates: Saussure's assertion that language is a system of signs in which the meaning of a term is based on its relations to othr terms in the system. i.e. we would have expected to have purchased a book, not a small piece of punctuation (hey comedy is hard)
- signifier: sound object image
- signified: concept generated
- signs are identified in terms of oppositions, uniqueness
- The notion the linguistics might be useful in studying other cultural phenomena is based on two fundamental insights:
- first that social and cultural phenomena are mot simply material objects or events but objects and events with meaning, and hence signs;
- second that they do not have essences but are defined by a network of relations
- Barthes (Myth)
- semiology can be applied to history, culture;
- sees problems with normativity (mythmaking)
- cultural feedback loop: this is the way mass media works: if a "meme" gets picked up and widely distributed, it becomes the norm (Lots of parallels with Cool Hunting)
