Perhaps Umberto Eco¹s Development of Medieval Aesthetics where he takes a
semiotic approach to understanding how representational space functions as
ideological and social form. Otherwise, Barthes Camera Lucida, where he
muses upon the emotional import of the photographic image through a semiotic
lens.

Subject: [NetBehaviour] Semiotics and Figure/Ground Relationships
Dear lazyweb^D^Dmailing list.
It is my understanding that semiotics deals with discrete signs and
symbols. And that aesthetics deals in no small part with figure/ground
relationships. These are not discrete signs and symbols.
Is there any semiotic writing that deals with figure/ground
relationships, or are figure/ground relationships kryptonite to semiopsy?
I have in mind something like "Perspective As Symbolic Form", but for
semiotics and figure/ground relationships rather than symbolic form and
perspective. :-)
- Rob.
