CAS 544 - Semiotics and the Study of Meaning

Institution:

SUNY College at Oswego

Subject:

Description:

Semiotics is the study of signs and sign systems in the world of meaning we share through communication. This course is an introduction to the methods and theories of semiotics and its concern with the "life of signs" - signs as individual entities, as they operate within larger groups of signs called codes, and as codes, in turn, operate within cultures. The importance of this topic for human life makes the subject appropriate for students from all disciplines, undergraduate and graduate. Sp-3- BIOLOGY: General Prerequisites: unless otherwise indicated, the prerequisites for Biology/ Zoology courses are eight hours of biological sciences (Bio 112 and 213) for 300-level courses and twelve hours of biological sciences (including Bio 112 and 213) for 400-level courses. If students believe they are adequately prepared for any particular course without having the formal prerequisites, they may request a waiver of the prerequisites by the instructor.
