is the field of semiotics captured or no?
If you are even moderately intelligent you should know there is no refuge from terror in our age.
>>24945280I'm sure of that but no need to be a pissant. Anyways, whats some good works on semiotics that might be of interest to a non-progressive like myself?
>>24945307You're already coming at it from the wrong angle
>>24945280>in our age.hate this phrase. Things have always been the same.
>>24945399oh no, I'm totally aware signs must be taken as is from multiple angles, historical, allegorical, etc but I'd rather not a semiotic that attempts to eek out homosexuality from the pages of authors like Sir Walter Scott, to use an example or how certain colors can be interpreted as racist.
>>24945280Based fpbp
>>24945307>hey y'all, anyone got some fucking based semiotics?
>>24945307What a stupid statement. Polemics have nothing to do with semiotics.
>>24945230maybe
>>24945565Lol>>24945581Who said anything about polemics?
ahem: nigger
>>24945230What the hell even is semiotics? Everyone I speak to about seems to give me a slightly different answer.
>>24945230I don't know what that is but yes yes it is
>>24946716Semiotics as superset of linguistics has three subfields: syntax (in a broader sense than trivium's grammar, that is, a superset of linguistic syntax), semantics and pragamatics. What else have you read?
>>24945307Just look into the tripartite semiotics repopularized by C.S. Peirce. It's what used across the sciences. What became POMO semiotics comes from Sausser. The tripartite version comes from Saint Augustine. It was called the Doctrina Signorum for 1,200 years before people forgot about it for about three centuries.John Deely is a good guy to look at for a history and overview. If you want to see it at work in the sciences Google Terrence Deacon's Towards a Science of Biosemiotics. His Incomplete Nature is good too. Or for a look at physics and philosophy of mind check out Nathan Lyon's Signs in the Dust. Saint Thomas and John Poinsot (John of Saint Thomas) are other big figures here too. Less noticed but still interesting here are Saint Maximus the Confessor and Nicholas of Cusa.
>>24946549You did, retard, by characterizing yourself as this, and them as that, without just reading the damn books. The theory is univesal if you're at all insightful
