into the world of semiology!

Semiology (semiotics, as it is better known in America) is concerned in interpreting signs—how meaning is constructed and understood. It involves the study not only of what we refer to as ‘signs’ in our daily conversations, but of anything which ‘stands for something else’. Its basic principle is crafted by the use of acts and objects which functions as “signs” in relation to other signs.

Originally, the studies of signs and signifying practices have been made by Ferdinand de Saussure (Swiss linguist) and Charles Sanders Pierce (American pragmatist).

Saussure coined the term “semiology” which referred earlier as the study of signs. His approach was somehow a generalization of formal, structuralist linguistics. For him, there is no relationship between the signifier and the signified. The signifier and signified are just two concepts associated with signs, and basically the study of semiotics.
The signifier is usually a word or symbol which carries the meaning, while the signified is the actual meaning embedded within it and is carried out. For example, the word “chair” does not constitute a chair or is not actually a chair—the meaning of chair is only associated by any strings of letters as to give rise to the word. It is the people who associated “c-h-a-i-r”, these five letters as to carry out the meaning of that particular word for further understanding.

On the other hand, Pierce’s idea of semiotics has been further elaborated with his definitions of the three types of signs. We have the icon, index, and symbol. His explanation of such things is mostly related to the logic of reasoning in the natural sciences. The icons are “the only means of directly communicating an idea”. Index serves as the meaning based on “cause and effect relationships” within a particular context. And the symbol carries out meanings in an arbitrary system—a way wherein natural language carries meaning.
Technically, we can say that Saussure’s system of signs may be applied to language and texts while Pierce’s explanation has a wider application—not only in language but of visual arts rather.

Signs and meanings are unlimited. It may carry out denotative or connotative meanings in some instances. In order to clarify this notion in lieu with semiotics, another study has been done by a French semiologist named Roland Barthes. His works were influenced by Saussure. Barthes is concerned in signs that are ostensibly straightforward, but which subtly communicate ideological or connotative meaning. He defined a sign as rather a combination of signifier (image) and the signified (the concept), and that the two is an inseparable bond.

In addition to it, every ideological sign is the result of two interconnected sign systems. The first system is descriptive as the signifier image and the signified concept combine to produce denotative sign. The second system appropriates the sign of denotative system and makes it the signifier of the connotative system.

Sign do not just also convey meanings, but add up a medium in which meanings are made. The system of signs is constituted by the intricate meaning—relations that can exist between one sign and another. Through the active process of interpretation, meanings are thoroughly absorbed.

Words are static, meanings are dynamic. Meanings are in people. The interpretations from the people the moment they perceive signs may vary from ones perspective to the other. Thus, the study of semiotics gives us a full understanding on the production of meaning itself.

hahahaha.

i missed blogging. actually. i am not that good in writing. i'm sort of a crap in doing such thing. well, anyway i visited my site again for the sake of our MEDA 101 major. (yahoo!!***)

i have nothing more to say....................

ohh yeah wait! before I forgot, i would like to say that this day isn't so bad after all. i've been blessed. God has been so good to me :)) everything turned out to be a worthwhile experience, and there had been certain thoughts/ things to ponder about..

goodnyt y'all! may GOd bless us:)

think about this...

In today, tomorrow already walks. But on a second thought, what tomorrow am I speaking of?

Ask a scientist, and he wholesomely speaks of a brittle ecological setting. See an economist, and he pictures a food shortage, too acute to serve 12 billion people by the year 2009 and beyond. Talk to an environmentalist, and he visualizes a world with depleted environment resources.

The future looks dim, and nature it seems has gone. Already there are signs: mountains raped and denuded of forest covers; climate, either burning you crazy or chilling you, rain which now you have it, later you don't. Green, the color of man's survival turned yellow and brown. The waterways, and streams dried up grasping for water. People and land drowning in floods while others lie parched without water. Truly, what 2009 and beyond am I speaking of?

I am Shelly Monique P. Petras, a 17 year old gal, and I am bothered by all of these. Is this the land my ancestors and your generation will be given to us? How do we heal this scarred land, bruised, wounded, and bound to self destruction? How do we come to the rescue to save this almost dying world? Don't you realized that when God created the world, He made it perfectly balance in ecological cycles?

Your senseless pride, your greed of wealth and power could have deafened your conscience to ignore this situation. Therefore, these frequent disturbances today forewarned us that this anticipated predicaments are inevitable.

Now, gone are the moments when our native land is famous with its wonderful tiny creatures. All of which are on the verge of extinction. Nowadays, the advancement of modern industrial technology that produces deadly and powerful bombs are the ultimate threats to end our sick sick world!

While it is true that modern science has greatly uplifted man's conventional way of living, but undeniably, it has greatly affected God's creation. Man, in his search for advancement has brought serious trouble in his environment.

Look now my friends, where are we going? Are we going to follow the path towards self destruction and that in the long run will lead us to oblivion?

With the modern technology, things begun a new look. A total change in man's way of living. We have now have these sophisticated and highly advanced techniques!

But wait, take another glimpse on what's happening around you! Where is the once beautiful earth? And what about the clean and fresh bodies of water around us? Haven't you noticed the constant change of weather? What has become to our Mother Nature? Obviously, it has vanished just like the ice water under the sun. And now, we are suffering from global destruction by natural calamities.

Why can't we simply work hand in hand and come to a point of understanding, thereby, maintaining a continual and lasting peace of human species?

To my fellow youth, and people in this community; preservation and conservation should be done before it's too late! Let us maintain the ecological balance that would make our world a beautiful and healthy place to live in. Let's join hands in fulfilling these goals and plans in order to attain a brighter future. :))

just as i am

Everyone has one and nobody has the same, is there a point in everyone's life when they get one?

A person's identity is his own, nobody put it here and nobody can take it out.

Everyone in this world has a different identity because they all make their own over the course of their life. A person's identity also causes a person to have masculine and feminine traits.

There is no one thing that gives a person their identity, there are however many different factors that contribute to one's identity..

I am me... I am Shelly Monique Prado Petras [my family and closest friends call me "KIM"] ; my culture has shaped who I am, for good and for bad.

I battle some stereotypes and try to be different. I try not to judge others before I know them.

I am neither perfect, nor do I try to be. Although I do not fight, I still learn and I listen to what is going on around me.

I am ignorant, but the fact that I know I am, has set me on the path to unveil my eyes..

-------

I was born on the 13th of February, 1992.

I am 17 years old.

and an ethereal Aquarian.

--------

I am the eldest daughter.

I have only 1 sister, she's still in her first year in HS.

My mom is a High school teacher and my dad is a utility officer.

Nursery-Kinder 1: Cantilan Gospel Learning Center
Elementary: Cantilan Pilot School
High school (1styr) : SSPSC-SSIT Cantilan Laboratory High School
(2nd-4thyr): Cantilan National High School

Presently. I am studying in the University of the Philippines Mindanao.

and is taking up BA Communication Arts.

MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS

Life can be so good
Life can be so hard
Never knowing what each day
Will bring to where you are
Sometimes I forget
And sometimes I can't see
That whatever comes my way
You'll be with me

My life is in your hands
My heart is in your keeping
I'm never without love
Not when my future is with you

My life is in your hands
And though I may not see clearly
I will lift my voice and sing
Cause your love does amazing things
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands

Nothing is for sure
Nothing is for keeps
All I know is that your love
Will live eternally
So I will find my way, yes
And I will find my peace
Knowing that you'll meet my every need

My life is in your hands
My heart is in your keeping
I'm never without love
Not when my future is with you

My life is in your hands
And though I may not see clearly
I will lift my voice and sing
Cause your love does amazing things
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands

When I'm at my weakest love
You carry me
Then I become my strongest love
In your hands

My life is in your hands
And though I may not see clearly
I will lift my voice and sing
Cause your love does amazing things
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands
I trust you Lord
My life is in your hands

:))

this song is one of my favorites. my mamo Elsie and I love this.
