Description

Terence Hawkes' Structuralism and Semiotics explores how our understanding of reality has changed over time. In the second half of the 20th century, a growing awareness of signs and signification led to a shift in perspective, highlighting that reality is not inherent in things themselves, but in the relationships we perceive between them.

This book discusses the nature and development of structuralism and semiotics, two methods of analysis that have had a significant impact on critical theory. Hawkes calls for a new critical awareness of how we communicate and examines the implications of these approaches for society. First published in 1977, this guide has become an essential introduction to modern critical theory.

A new edition is now available, featuring an afterword and suggestions for further reading. This book remains a clear and accessible starting point for anyone looking to explore structuralism and semiotics, two key areas of cultural and critical theory.
