| Course Description | Imbedded into a general framework of aesthetics, the course offers a different analysis of sign systems by means of a semiotic instrument. It will imply denotations and connotations of design language, and will respectively refer to the medium and its messages. Destined to sharpen the consciousness of the future designers for signalizing metaphors within daily life, it will also deal with the uniformitarian vocabulary of mass production vs. handcraft, with the divergence between paradigm and syntagma. Additionally, a variety of analysis and theories about sign, signifier, signified, signification and semantics are to be studied within the course with case studies. |
