Images play on the habitus of their audience. The fifties brought mass marketingâs ubiquitous use of imagery, spurring on the permeation of everyday life by those who control the image. Of course, this isnât simply limited to consumption purposes, though particularly in contemporary cultural studies we must be aware of the often-deceptive function that can be both attributed and distributed. It follows that the rationale for exploring the impact of semiotics lies in the attempt to uncover the forces constructing...
