About

Open discussion on the theories of linguist and semiotician Ferdinand de Saussure and how his theories have influenced both the creation and interpretation of art, according to the reading from the book “Theory for Art History” by Jae Emerling. The meeting will also feature interactive sessions and activities that will allow for the exchange of ideas and creations between members.

Ferdinand de Saussure ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiology in the 20th century. He is widely considered one of the founders of 20th-century linguistics and one of two major founders (together with Charles Sanders Peirce) of semiotics/semiology.
