- Title
EVOLUTION AND DESIGN.
- Authors
Britz, Sonja
- Abstract
The animal as sign has a long evolutionary history, but with the onset of cultural modernity it began to assume new semiotic forms. Foucault describes a new field of increased visibility that emerged in the eighteenth century which gave rise to a complex semiotic system within which the sign began to take on a life of its own. If images could be regarded as living organisms, how could this affect their representational values in society? And, what are the implications for the lives and representation of animals?
