Definition
Semiotics studies media content and analyzes meaning in communication.
Semiotics is basically defined as a theory of signs.
It studies the processes of meaning making and seeks to break the code of non-verbal meaning that resides in the structure of communication.
The goal of semiotics is to explain visual signs, i.e. to explain visual signs and how they perpetuate (or not) the dominant cultural values.

AnchorageAnchorage (Roland Barthes) (Roland Barthes)
Anchorage: the process of affixing meanings. In the context of the mass media, anchorage can be referred to as the process by which preferred meanings are encoded in various media texts.
Concepts involved in anchorage:
– Denotation: What the image is.– Connotation: What the image means.– The Polysemic Nature of Images: They are endowed
with multiple, equally valid meanings
