Description

This volume opens up semiotics to a broad, nonspecialist audience. Here the founders of the discipline, along with some of the leading "signmakers" of contemporary culture, undertake to explain the signs in subjects as diverse as El Salvador's death squads and ladies' lingerie, the letters of Pliny and the windows of Tiffany's, fashion, food, film, jokes, psychoanalysis, and history. 

Important Notes
