the following are my thoughts on semiotics... this is one field which interests me a lot.....so jus my random thoughts again
Literally meaning the study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretations. The field of semiotics is not one, which is very popular in India. Since time immemorial humans have always sought to understand our surroundings and to identify the true purpose of its existence. Only a few people however, are aware of the existence of a field such as semiotics. The importance of semiotics comes out in nearly all the fields ranging from finance to advertising, social psychology to nuclear physics. Although it may not land the pursuer of the course directly into a job, it holds great promise, especially with respect to many of the new and emerging fields in India such as linguistics, language analysis, and also content analysis that is emerging as a very popular method of research.
Academically there are not many institutions that offer courses in semiotics, but a few certificate courses in semiotics are available in and around Bangalore. For those who wish to go abroad to pursue this course there are a few options available, Victoria University in the University of Toronto is one of the popular places where this course can be pursued.
if anyone is aware of any other places which offer courses or other options available, i would appreciate it if you shared the information with me
