- Hello all,
-
- I am attempting to chair a semiotics discussion group on my campus with
- a primary emphasis on mass communication and motivation. I am looking for
- authors and resources to discuss. The more "scientific" works usually lead
- to more successful discussions, so I would appreciate suggestions along
- this line (I am hesitant to introduce Marxist,Freudian, etc. works, yet
- I confess that I like Baudrillard :) ). I include a list of
- planned topics in the hopes of orientating my request.
-
- Barthes' Connotative Semiology
- "Dirty Doctor" Dichter's advertising essays
- Cherry's information-theory & language
- Baudrillard's "Cold Seduction"
- Wierner's On the Human Use of Human Beings
- Merleua-Ponty's essays from Signs
- Speech Act Theory
- (Lyotard, Eco, Foucault are possible tangents)
-
- Any other suggestions?
-
- I thank all of you in advance. Haim Bodek hb003b@uhura.cc.rochester.edu
