  We live in a world of signs, and of signs about signs. A growing awareness of this situation in the last decades of the 20th century brought a monumental change in perspective on the very nature of reality. It forced us to recognize the possibility that reality inheres not in things themselves, but in the relationships we perceive between things; not in items but in structures. In exploring and seeking to further these ideas, critics turned to the methods of analysis loosely termed structuralism and semiotics. Their work gave rise to a revolution in critical theory. This classic guide discusses the nature and development of structuralism and semiotics, calling for a new critical awareness of the ways in which we communicate and drawing attention to their implications for our society.
