III.A Practical Synthesis.12.Semiotic Analysis.Analyzing Cultures provides what readers of semiotics, antrhopology, communications, and media studies have long searched for: an intelligent and engaging introduction to semiotic analysis. Marcel Danesi and Paul Perron have written a unique primer that addresses the way culture is studied within a semiotic framework. The authors give a concise, accessible overview of theories of signs in the history of philosophy and the social sciences. Principles of semiotic analysis are presented with vivid examples drawn from the world around us. Chapters are devoted to, among other things, the body and nonverbal communication; language acquisition, language in its social context, and how language shapes thought; cultural meanings of territories, spaces, and buildings; the importance of art to culture; cultural meanings of objects, artifacts, and technological processes; forms and cultural functions of narrative; and television and advertising media. Analyzing Cultures is without peer as an introduction and reference for readers who want to understand the place of semiotics in the history of philosophy and the social sciences.SemiotiekgttCultuurgttKultursemiotikgndSemioticsfast(OCoLC)fst01112351CultureSemiotic modelsfast(OCoLC)fst0088508102.02 philosophy and theory of science(NL-LeOCL)077592441bclCultureModeles semiotiquesSemiotiqueCultureSemiotic modelsSemioticsEinführung.Semiotiek.Cultuur.Kultursemiotik.Semiotics.CultureSemiotic models.02.02 philosophy and theory of science.CultureModeles semiotiques.Semiotique.CultureSemiotic models.Semiotics.Danesi Marcel1946-166452Perron PaulMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524680603321Analyzing Cultures2772154UNINA
