Oh and quickly for anyone reading this, I've decided that from here on in any blocks of text that I pull directly from my notes will be displayed as above (in blue and centered).
So anyway, basically I've spent the last 30 odd minutes reading about this guy 'Ferdinand' and his ideas. In doing this I have come across quite a large body of notes taken in 1910 by one of Ferdinand's students (found here http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/fr/saussure.htm). Strangely enough, in all of these notes I didn't find a single reference of semiotics or any of its subsections.
For this reason, I now sit here periodically typing away at this blog as I read through various bits and pieces of information on semiotics. Most of the information is incessantly difficult to understand and seems more like I should be reading it for my effective writing course, rather than new com tech.
Ah, it seems that I have discovered some reference to semiotics but under the French wording of semiology. I won't bother copying the information that I have just read into here, as I've provided the link to it above. I also lack Microsoft Word at the moment and don't really know how many words I've written here, as I don't want to give Chris to much to read I'll start to wrap this week up.
With this I'll just leave a quick note about the movie we watched during our lecture. The film was called "La Jetee" and to be totally honest, was incredibly difficult to watch in the lecture theater. It didn't help of course that I was dead tired, but I was on the verge of sleep for the second half of the film. I do plan however to find the film and watch it again at home, with a large amount of caffeine.
Well that about wraps it up, sorry Chris but I'm pretty sure thats more than 300 words haha.
Until next week.
