    Course Description - "Critical Semiotics"

    This graduate-level, distance-learning course introduces semiotics by examining contemporary critiques of it. The lectures build on an overview of "basic" concepts of semiotics by discussing several prominent critics of modern semiotics. An analysis of James Thurber's short story, "The Catbird Seat," is used as a conclusion to demonstrate potential applications of the techniques and principles associated with semiotic analysis. The lectures discuss M. A. K. Halliday, Umberto Eco, James Carse, John Stewart, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Robert Hodge and Gunther Kress, Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva, Deleuze and Guattari, A. J. Greimas, Floyd Merrell, and others.
