"Rematerializing the

reconsidering the

aspects of signs,

of signs as purely

emphasizing their

forms and their impact
on meaning-making.

of signs, consisting of

and substance,
providing a detailed
way to analyze the
structure and function
of signs beyond simpler

insights into how signs
function, how
meanings are
constructed, and how
they change across
different contexts and
media.
