give this man an award or something pleasee

Fine background on how we worked our way to science as we understand it today. Hobbes was a fine writer, but a bit eager to dispute. See his go-around with Wallis on squaring the circle.

Sir, are you still there? :( I just wanna say, Thank You So Much for Your Help

ty for your explanation it's helpful a lot :)

Thank you so much. This helped me with my extensive reading class!!!

Sir u haven't mentioned the name of the theorists and what about C S Peirce who is the pioneer in visual communication ......u haven't mentioned him as well

As davidcraftftw55 said: I'm not even your student, I'm watching this don't know how many years you posted it and I live in Patagonia Argentina. But as I'm part of a research project that expects us to read and understand Barthes and his Rhetoric of the image, your video has been SO useful to me that I think I'm happier than your own students at that time! Thank you por posting it! Kind regards from down here!

Barthes literally wrote a whole essay on the idea of “ a picture is worth a thousand words”

Thank you!!

Thanks for posting. It's really important to realise that some course over lap and often at that point things don't get the elaborate explanation to put it into context. I'm a returning uni student and am doing a BA Hons top up in Photography and semiotics is very much a part of areas I'm looking at but we've not touched on it at all in the course. Just expanded research has me getting to grips with it. I really appreciate therefore the level of youtube videos available to those in higher Ed. Ta.

Thanksss. i was doing my midterm project

Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video !! I was so confused before watching this .

thank you very much for this video, everything was clear and it helped me very much.

Thank you so much for this.. it helped me a lot.. I have my paper tommorow and your video helped me a lot! ❤️😊

You just did this in 2 minutes where my professor too 2 hours! Massive Respect Sir!

I cant thank you enough for this excellent explanation .

I comment mainly to let the professor know someone is benefitting from and appreciating his effort. I do this because he contextualizes this topic and discusses it stepwise, considering difficulties a watcher may experience with Barthes. I like that this isn't the usual fast-pace cartoon usually found on KZbin. I wish I could somehow download the handout.

Thank you so much for your work! You are really helpful!

Hello sir I need your help. Can you provide me with your email ?

Hi teacher, could you please recommend me some bibliography about signs and visual communication? Because lots of books i read only decomposes visual elements of an images, but not explains what is a sign and less how to create them, thanks you for your videos. I'm a graphic designer; hope you may help me. Greetings.

Thank you for making this video! It helps me a lot in my study in visual culture and communication. Thanks for your efforts <3

Can an image have connotations? Applying the notions of denotation and connotation to images introduces the problem that all resemblance arguments face-eventually the entities that bear some similarity begin to part company. If we think of the denotation of a word as that which it asserts and the connotation of a word as that which it implies, we could say that the Panzani ad asserts a variety of packaged food used in Italian cuisine and it implies several things that Barthes mentioned--not just Italianicity, but authenticity, freshness, and naturalness, despite the fact that the food is processed and packaged.

Great videos! I have one question though: can the bare image really contain any connotations? Aren’t we the viewer the ones who give images meaning. For instance: I chose to understand the panzani image as Italianicity, but a person who is not familiar with Italian culture will not understand the image this way. In other words: the image lacks any connotations. Thoughts?

Thank you so much for posting this! It helped me a lot!

Thank you so much for posting this and for making it easier for me to understand Barthes! Greetings from a previously stressed out master student (now that I get it I’m a bit more calm) at the University of Oslo 💪🏼
