50-3103 Semiotics and Cultural Change

The course explores the implications of systemic and structural theories of culture for issues of cultural change, both revolutionary and evolutionary, by considering particular case studies. Using dyadic and triadic methodologies for the study of signs, we examine case studies to interrogate political, social, and pragmatic outcomes of meta-analytic propositions. Fieldwork experiences engage students in contradictions, coherences, coincidences and confrontations between theory and praxis.
