Wilson Question Answers
Просмотров 214 года назад
This video is about E. O. Wilson's "What Is Science?" a reading with discussion questions assigned to individual students. Because two students were absent during the Zoom session, I answered their questions which had to do with Wilson's use of various modes of discourse in his letter as well as the controversies surround his notion of Consilience when applied to disciplines outside of the natu...

give this man an award or something pleasee
Fine background on how we worked our way to science as we understand it today. Hobbes was a fine writer, but a bit eager to dispute. See his go-around with Wallis on squaring the circle.
Sir, are you still there? :( I just wanna say, Thank You So Much for Your Help
I am glad you found this useful.
ty for your explanation it's helpful a lot :)
I am glad you found this helpful.
@@mcgeet1Thank you very much :)
Thank you so much. This helped me with my extensive reading class!!!
Happy to help.
Sir u haven't mentioned the name of the theorists and what about C S Peirce who is the pioneer in visual communication ......u haven't mentioned him as well
As I said at the start, I was simply previewing the six theoretical approaches that were covered in a PDF created by Phillip Lubere. One of those theories was Semiotics. When we covered that theoretical approach, we went into some detail on both C.S Pierce and Ferdinand de Saussure and the differences between Saussure's diadic approach and Pierce's triadic approach., i.e., symbol, icon, index.
@@mcgeet1 ok sir .. thankyou so much......how can I get those PDFs
As davidcraftftw55 said: I'm not even your student, I'm watching this don't know how many years you posted it and I live in Patagonia Argentina. But as I'm part of a research project that expects us to read and understand Barthes and his Rhetoric of the image, your video has been SO useful to me that I think I'm happier than your own students at that time! Thank you por posting it! Kind regards from down here!
Barthes literally wrote a whole essay on the idea of “ a picture is worth a thousand words”
Good point. Actually, a renowned scholar of data graphics, Edward Tufte, calculated that a picture is worth about 770 words, an estimate he made based upon how many words would be required to communicate all the information contained in a bivariate data graphic. I can't recall in which of his fabulous books he said that. It might have been in The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.
Thank you!!
Glad you found it useful.
Thanks for posting. It's really important to realise that some course over lap and often at that point things don't get the elaborate explanation to put it into context. I'm a returning uni student and am doing a BA Hons top up in Photography and semiotics is very much a part of areas I'm looking at but we've not touched on it at all in the course. Just expanded research has me getting to grips with it. I really appreciate therefore the level of youtube videos available to those in higher Ed. Ta.
Jayne, happy to help. Tim
Thanksss. i was doing my midterm project
Happy to help.

Happy to help.
Thank you so much for this.. it helped me a lot.. I have my paper tommorow and your video helped me a lot! ❤️😊
Happy to help. Good luck with your paper.
You just did this in 2 minutes where my professor too 2 hours! Massive Respect Sir!
Thanks for the kind words. I can, and do in the course of a semester, spend more than two hours on these theories, but I wanted to give students a heads-up about where we were going before launching into any detailed treatments of the theories.
I cant thank you enough for this excellent explanation .
I comment mainly to let the professor know someone is benefitting from and appreciating his effort. I do this because he contextualizes this topic and discusses it stepwise, considering difficulties a watcher may experience with Barthes. I like that this isn't the usual fast-pace cartoon usually found on RUclips. I wish I could somehow download the handout.
Thanks for your kind words. I am not sure what handout you refer to. It may be my highlighted and annotated PDF of Barthes' essay. If that is what you mean, I will gladly email it to you. Give me an address to email it to you.
Thank you so much for your work! You are really helpful!
Hello sir I need your help. Can you provide me with your email ?
Sure. You can reach me at tmcgee@rider.edu
Thanks for explaining the theory so well. It becomes so easy to understand.
Khushi, happy to help. Glad my explanations were useful to you.
Really interesting video... Very helpful info. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video! It was difficult for me to read on my own, this defiently helped!
thank you! i really appreciate it!
I am not even your student, and this video helped me out a lot. Thank you so much!
David, Glad it was helpful.
Hi teacher, could you please recommend me some bibliography about signs and visual communication? Because lots of books i read only decomposes visual elements of an images, but not explains what is a sign and less how to create them, thanks you for your videos. I'm a graphic designer; hope you may help me. Greetings.
As the video above reports, the field of visual communication has many theoretical bases, some of which conflict with others. One book that I think does a great job of explaining how images work from a Gestalt perspective is Molly Bang's Picture This: How Pictures Work. A PDF reproduction of the book is available at this URL: sienaproseminar.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/1/0/13109053/mollybang_reduced.pdf
Thanks for your well explained video.
You are most welcome.
Thank you for posting this, it was helpful.
Willow, glad to hear you found it helpful. Tim
Thank you
thank you so much..!!
Happy to help.
Thank you for making this video! It helps me a lot in my study in visual culture and communication. Thanks for your efforts <3
Joyce, happy to help.
Can an image have connotations? Applying the notions of denotation and connotation to images introduces the problem that all resemblance arguments face-eventually the entities that bear some similarity begin to part company. If we think of the denotation of a word as that which it asserts and the connotation of a word as that which it implies, we could say that the Panzani ad asserts a variety of packaged food used in Italian cuisine and it implies several things that Barthes mentioned--not just Italianicity, but authenticity, freshness, and naturalness, despite the fact that the food is processed and packaged.
Great videos! I have one question though: can the bare image really contain any connotations? Aren’t we the viewer the ones who give images meaning. For instance: I chose to understand the panzani image as Italianicity, but a person who is not familiar with Italian culture will not understand the image this way. In other words: the image lacks any connotations. Thoughts?
Hey, I think quick answer would be that the connotations are different for each individual, so it would not be called "lacking any connotations". Sets of them are different and vast, therefore they can not be fully categorized, Barthes covers this in the same essay.
Thank you so much for posting this! It helped me a lot!
Happy to hear you found this helpful. It is the first of what turned into three videos dealing with that chapter.
Thank you so much for posting this and for making it easier for me to understand Barthes! Greetings from a previously stressed out master student (now that I get it I’m a bit more calm) at the University of Oslo 💪🏼
Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to have reduced your stress level. I am not sure how you found that post, but it is the first of three that I posed for my graduate students on that essay. Tim
