Girl thanks a lot! I needed to understand the concept of index/indexical for a class about transcultural communication. Very insightful!
Life saver for every art history course and art lectures I have had at cal poly
That's really a great video getting me to understand semiotics!! I'm really fascinated by the Structuralists vs Post-structuralists, and have just read Barthes's the Death of The Author, which is closely related to the concept of semiotics~!
Wowww finally i understand.. thank you! it is so helpful for me doing my thesis
Oh my goodness this saved my ass. I'm doing a Packaging project that's due in 3 hours. This literally cleared up my confusion. Thank You!!
Well done, simply and perfect definition! :)
This was fantastic! I remember a similar thing about icons in Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. Fascinating stuff!

Very clear , thanks
this was fantastic

Great explanation

Quite interesting!!!
im honestly even more confused like whattt im honestly going to fail my exam lmaoo
Thank you!
But what does 'Play' sound like or look like?
I'm now ready for my midterm lol. Thank you for explaining it so well!
the video when im alone: 0:30 the video when my mom walks in: 3:08
Thank you! :)
Play means moving forward. Forward means right. The Play button is an arrow facing right. Get it?
She sounds like she's about to cry. Hehe.. It was a great video. Very educational.... Thanks...

It's good to understand
If a picture depicts a family, is it iconically a bunch of people and indexically the idea of family or home?
What does arbitrary mean??
Excellent
Awe her voice is so cute🐛🐞
Thank you Mam....
Please can you Write the definitions of icon, symbol and index with examples in replying me in the comment.
What's more of an index? A photograph or a hologram?
At 00:36 you say that "The Process from the signifier to the signified is called signification" But on your drawings signification is placed on the right side, at the arrow down. The arrow down means signified to signification. I just wanted to ask what is the right meaning of signification. Signified to signifier or signifier to signified? Thank you so much :)
THIS IS Good
Not true. The play button denotes play-forward movement by facing the same direction the we read & write.

You should consider using examples that can be shown in a public school. I'm not sure I'm allowed to show this in my high school art class due to the nude painting. I know, it's art and personally, I have zero issues with it...but some communities are conservative and as such might object. Just my thoughts.
En español tenemos una idea en la cual tendemos a diferenciar signo("sign")de símbolos("Symbols"), En ambos casos representa ideas, pero intuitivamente me entiendo más con el significado que le dan los ingleses.
Nice introduction! It is pronounced CS "purse" not Pierce by the way!
does Tom know that you are using his video?
Indexicality and ostension in philosophy of language is to me a problematic area since, since ostension cannot rest on the physical act of pointing. The notion in semiotics of an indexical sign also seems like a weak point in the whole theory since the photo could look just like you (given the distance, clarity, etc.) and yet have been taken of someone else, so that it would in fact be indiscernible from a photo that was actually taken of you. The one may have the correct causal history, but that is the only thing suggesting it as a representation of you. Replies are welcomed.
Is an image with words symbolic?
@InsistentlyInterdisciplinary
Жыл бұрын
Yeah! It certainly can be. An image is iconic, according to Peirce (a semiotician/philosopher) and the words would be symbolic. If you are interested in the topic, there is also fascinating work done on words called ideophones.
The "Object" is about what sign refers ....it is not a concept or signified .....even signified is closely related to " Interpretant
Had to watch on 0.75 speed + 10x of rewinding every part to get smth into my bubu brain xd
This was a lot of fun. But the "play" button is not arbitrary but rather indexical. The right pointing arrow indicates the direction a tape would play in a recording studio tape deck of an old Boom Box playing cassettes. A button pointing in the opposite direction, to the left meant rewinding the tape, the tape would spin in the other direction. The addition of multiple arrows (fast forward or fast rewind) indicate the speed in that direction would be increased. In the digital age, folks like You Tube have adapted the right-arrow play button for digital uses and so it may seem arbitrary, but for anyone who used or still use tape decks of any kind, it's most def an indexical sign. But like I said, I enjoyed this a lot and will be sharing it with a colleague and some students (I'm a PhD student at University of Chicago).

Your argument works also for the words of a language, they are symbolic but they are not arbitrary : they all have an etymology. Maybe a better definition for the symbol will be a conventional relationship rather than an arbitrary relationship between the representamen and the meaning.

The "play" button is arbitrary. At some point in history, some guy in an office decided a triangle pointing right or left would mean play or rewind while he was designing the first boom box, cassette player, etc. There is nothing inherent about a triangle that suggests the direction of the tape moving. In some "alternate timeline", someone could have chosen to associate play with an arrow shape, or a heart shape with the pointed end showing direction, or maybe even a thumbs up in the direction of play. There are many possibilities. Good luck with your PhD, I am also doing one.
