SEMA - The University of Toronto Semiotics Forum

This archive contains the latest issue of SEMA, the undergraduate
journal for semiotics at the University of Toronto.  For those
who do now know what semiotics is, it is the study of the sign,
the representational unit which makes up all representation
systems.  In semiotics, we look at all types of representation,
and in this issue, we examine various areas of popular culture.

The contents for the semiotics archive are the following:

     contents.txt   - This file (ASCII)
     sema1-1.wp     - The book version of SEMA, in wordperfect
format.  In order to view this correctly, it has to be printed in
book form, with the odd numbered pages printed forward, and the
even numbered pages printed on the backs of them.  The easiest
way to do this is with a laser.  If you print page 1 forward,
simply take it off the printer as it lies coming out (ie. face
down), and feed back through manually and print page 2.
     sema1-2.wp     - The book version of SEMA, in wordperfect
format.  See above.  This is the second half of it, and should be
printed as a continuation of the first half.  The first page of
the second half is the back page of the last page of the first
half.
