“In his Course in General Linguistics, first published in 1916, #Saussure postulated the existence of a general science of signs, or Semiology, of which linguistics would form only one part. Semiology therefore aims to take in any system of signs, whatever their substance and limits; images, gestures, musical sounds, objects, and the complex associations of all these, which form the content of ritual, convention or public entertainment: these constitute, if not languages, at least systems of signification. There is no doubt that the development of mass communications confers particular relevance today upon the vast field of signifying media, just when the success of disciplines such as linguistics, information theory, formal logic and structural anthropology provide semantic analysis with new instruments. There is at present a kind of dem and for semiology, stemming not from the fads of a few scholars, but from the very his tory of the modern world.” #Rol andBarthes

Fashion is an intermediate object between poetry and mathématiques: it consists in uniting both while simultaneously decomposing them.
