Berger: Semiotic Analysis

1- It is quite interesting to breakdown signifiers and those signified with everything that we visually take in, molding out minds into the gelatin that drives our interest. But could our interest be peaked if there were no signifiers or concepts to enthrall our minds?

2- In accordance with Propp's functions I find myself trying to apply them to the hit series LOST. Without regarding his functions this show was just a wkly phenomenon that I religiously partook in, but now through his functions I see the underlying base the producers were implying. If there was no breakdown of these functions would entertainment of any kind be able to thrive/ survive without the many dimensions it takes to produce such a tale?
