Chapter 33—Semiotics
This chapter has been revised, changing the central example from yellow ribbons (in the 10th edition) to COVID-19 mask wearing in this edition. The illustration is used to demonstrate how a denotative sign transforms into a connotative sign system. The chapter’s critique now also discusses how signs may not always reinforce the status quo such as the sign of taking a knee used to protest present conditions.
You can access Changes for a particular chapter in several ways:
- Switch to View by Theory, then select the desired theory/chapter from the drop-down list at the top of the page. Look in the list of available resources.
- To quickly find a theory by chapter number, use the Table of Contents and link from there. It will take you directly to the theory with available options highlighted.
- You can also use the Theory List, which will take you directly to the theory with available options highlighted.
