Seeing things as languages

I’m reading the Swedish translation of Juri Lotman’s Semiotics of Cinema, which seems to be a suitable introduction to semiotics. So far, it seems to me that semiotics tries to see and treat things (literature, architecture, films, etc.) as being languages—although I haven’t seen it defined this way; only as “the science of signs”, which doesn’t say that much to me.

The above was posted to my personal weblog on October 1, 2003. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
