【Course Objectives】

The aim of this course is to develop the competence to analyze a variety of sociocultural phenomena in modernity and beyond, on the basis of the semiotic framework.

【Course Contents】

The course starts with introducing the semiotic framework and moves to analyze a variety of sociocultural phenomena, such as the body, cosmology, time, space, city, number, color, dynastic empire, medicine, agriculture, kinship, animal, edibility, dwelling house, and so on, on the basis of the semiotic notion of “iconicity.” Then, the course explores an aspect of contemporary socioculture by appealing to sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s notions of “symbolic capital,” “field,” “habitus,” etc., reconceptualized in terms of the semiotic framework introduced in this course.
