Making Sense
"Consumers live within a 'book,' but they can only tell you about its plot."
What makes semioticians tick? We asked members of the international community of semiotic practitioners to answer 10 questions. Here's a series overview, organized by region.
"Consumers live within a 'book,' but they can only tell you about its plot."
"Semiotics provides the tools necessary to speak new worlds confidently and meaningfully."
"Jumping from huge socio-political questions to cheese, and everything in-between, is very rewarding."
"Semioticians are guardians of meaning. That’s a sacred responsibility."
"Present the work straightforwardly, without falling in love with your own voice."
"Resolving tensions or finding new ways to frame an issue often requires some counterfactual thinking."
"What I most enjoy is the absolute rush of realising, of learning something new — the epiphany of an insight."
"A mental shift needs to happen — a shift in the way you see and interact with signs."
"Semiotics is something like psychoanalysis, only not of a person, but of culture."
