Summary of what I have read about Semiotics, reconstructed examples from the book “Semiotic: the basics”, some others I have goggled with samples from the book semiotics-representation – Thinking Practice. Icons as a form of semiotics are all kinds of pictures representing an object like photos, drawings and paintings. Eco, Umberto, (1979) A theory of semiotics, Bloomington, Indiana University Press, p-158. All painters work in a pictorial language by following a set of standards, basics and rules of picture-making. Daniel Chandler uses the chapter, Challenging the Literal, of his book, Semiotics: the Basics, to describe and define the four “master tropes”. Distinctions contained within the concept of 'Intertextuality' with regards to textual analysis, as highlighted by Daniel Chandler in 'Semiotics: The Basics' -Chandler, D (2002), Semiotics: The Basics, Routledge, pp194-205. Students need to be equipped with an array of analytical tools: discourse analysis, content analysis, narrative analysis, semiotic analysis, intertextuality, iconography, psychoanalysis, frame analysis, conversation analysis.
