Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Content
The course takes up the great theories of the sign and the production of meaning (Saussure, Peirce, μ Group, Greimas) by focusing them in perspectives of concrete analysis and focusing particularly on the question of the semiotic functioning of iconic and iconic-verbal productions (advertising, comics, organization communication).
Teaching methods
Lectures; examples; exercises; practical work supervised by an assistant.
Evaluation methods
2 out of 20 points: attendance at class. If the student accumulates more than two absences, an individual written work is requested to obtain the 2 points.
18 points out of 20: Written examination in session and written group work, supervised by an assistant.
The different parts (presence, written exam, group work) are obligatory.
Second session: written examination in session. The rating of the group work is retained if it is equal to or greater than half; otherwise, the student will have to submit an individual written work to be fixed with the assistant. The attendance score is retained if it is equal or more than 1 points; otherwise, individual work will be requested.
