Slides on Signs, Symbols and Representation online!

The sign according to Pierce

The sign according to Pierce

You may download a PDF version of the slides used for our discussion last time and today on the various concepts of signs, symbols and representation (go to the Document section!).

It may help you to remember what we talked about and found out about the complexities of looking and interpreting cultural artefacts, especially visual representations.

And, of course, the slides may also help you to discuss the questions which I put up in the Task section – in fact, you need the last slide with the sequence of Lange’s photographs to contruct your ‘narrative’.

Thanks for a lively discussion and I am looking forward to continue along these lines next time!

Hunters and collectors, aren’t we all?

Looking forward to your answers!

New Task for Study Skills: Where to find the Hall text

Published by Peter Schneck under Allgemein

In case you were looking for the text by Stuart Hall (required reading for taks and class), you will find it on the Document page (you may have to scroll down a bit).

I also added a link to the title on the task page for session 9.

So now you have no more excuses and can do your homework!

Enjoy your weekend, too ;-)

‘God’s got nothin to do with it!’

Published by Peter Schneck under Allgemein

Well, there’s an argument – and I hope you may want to continue our lively discussion about the conflict between mothers and daughters by taking care of the next task, no. 8.

Which you now will find in writing on the newest addition to our task pages.

Don’t be square, go there!
