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.
"We are ‘working amongst the ruins’ so there’s a scope to be creative and brave."
"The real power of semiotics lies in understanding how consumers create their own meaning systems."
"We're all semioticians — we all 'decode' as part of our everyday lives."
"You need to be comfortable with uncertainty, contradiction, and change."
"We're surrounded by messages. The semiotician asks: How have these been configured?"
"Achieving a deep, rich understanding of why we behave the way we do is the most rewarding part of the job."
"Don’t set off to be a semiotician — instead, let semiotics set you off."
"It’s a semiotician’s imagination, open mind, and creative ability which are truly rare."
