Chance encounters the concept of culture a short history of semiotics total eclipse of the heart (thinking through technology) the phake fone - crossing (telecommunication) lines situating technologies - radio activity and the nuclear question the sound of a dream Catholic English derrivations - from Derrida to Empson "Gilligan's Wake" coda - interzones (science sentiment cyberpunk).
Semiotics is called on to examine the communicative qualities of the Atlanta Braves’ controversial “screaming savage” logo. The Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball attempted to bring back the “savage” logo for their batting practice baseball caps before outcries from journalists, fans, bloggers, and cultural critics all but forced the Braves to swiftly pull the logo before their players donned the cap in the spring of 2013. The current analysis draws on Peirce’s triadic relationship of signs and Debord’s concept of the lower-case spectacle to find answers to what the Braves’ “screaming savage” logo (the signifier) might mean for our postcolonial understanding of Native Americans (the signified) within the broader cultural arena of the sports-media complex in the United States.
