One question or issue

To investigating not a subject but a question -> how we produce semiotic objects(specific as below) and how they function in mediated discourse.

Right now my project boilded down on two parts; The first is that, how could I use personal belongings representing in visual language to penetrate the machanism of MacGuffin/Objet petit a, the guise of the “Other“. The second is bassed on existed linkage between cameras and firearms to create a group of hypothetic object and footage. Both the objects and moving images are hybrid of reality and fiction. In this case the objects I create will be the MacGuffins to reflect on misrecognised senarios, and I am more favor on this part.

Method of analysis

Semiotic concepts on MacGuffin/Objet petit a

History linkage of cameras and firearms both technically and culturally.

Contemporary examples and the emergence of this social semiotic.

The thesis will be a project report walking through the stories via objects.
