Perhaps Umberto Eco¹s Development of Medieval Aesthetics where he takes a semiotic approach to understanding how representational space functions as ideological and social form. Otherwise, Barthes Camera Lucida, where he muses upon the emotional import of the photographic image through a semiotic lens.

It is my understanding that semiotics deals with discrete signs and symbols. And that aesthetics deals in no small part with figure/ground relationships. These are not discrete signs and symbols. Is there any semiotic writing that deals with figure/ground relationships, or are figure/ground relationships kryptonite to semiopsy? I have in mind something like "Perspective As Symbolic Form", but for semiotics and figure/ground relationships rather than symbolic form and perspective. :-) - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour Edinburgh College of Art (eca) is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC009201
