Description
The subject introduces the student to iconography, that is the social science that deals with the meaning and sense of images in relation to an interpretative framework determined by culture (cultures). In general, communicative regimes always lean towards an alphabet of images rather than spoken or written words. Therefore, the understanding and evaluation of this alphabet is fundamental in design studies.
