Screen Reader 2 Cinema and Semiotics

by Mick Eaton (Editor)

Screen Reader 2 brings together a number of articles from Screen, described by the US magazine Film Comment as the "most influential film journal" of the 1970s. The collection introduces cinema semiotics to a wider public, in particular through the work of Christian Mets and through critical discussions so this approach. Originating in linguistic theories of signification, semiotics has made a major contribution to an understanding of the cinema and is now widely used in the analysis of other aspects of culture, including literature and the visual arts.
