Class notes:
Connotation-metaphysics behind the symbol, culture based, can't control, time based, gets complicated
(example-apple: health, Eve, pretentious, knowledge)
Denotation- the thing itself,
(example-apple: fruit, red)
Culture Jamming
-Wodiczko
-Ninja Entry
-If your product was any good you wouldn't need sexism to sell it
-Nature... It'll grow back
Can we be kings and queens in an empire of signs?
Mediated culture
Ferdinand de Saussure; change diachronic or synchronic?
signified vs. signifier
Charles Peirce; levels: feeling, fact, then mental element that links the first and second level
icon-direct relationship
symbol-relates to meaning through cultural association
index-natural causal relationship, think like Sherlock, cause and effect
--> myth as truths
