For next class:
1. Read the chapter “Images, Power and Politics”, pp. 29-41, and identify key theories and concepts: connotation, denotation, myth, semiotics, structuralism, sign.
2. Read “Rhetoric of the Image” by Roland Barthes.
3. Bring an image to class through which to illustrate the use of semiotic analysis.
4. Bring one or more images to class, whose meaning changes depending on the historical and/or social context in which it is shown and viewed OR whose meaning changes if it is taken out of context or is miscaptioned.
5. Consider the interrelationship of image and text.
