This week we are analyzing how a writer composes a semiotic analysis. Our first step is to understand the ideas contained within the text itself by annotating in Perusall. In Abraham Riesman’s, “What We Talk about When We Talk About Batman and Superman,” he explores how the conflictual relationship between Superman and Batman means something about changing American attitudes and values. In his analysis, the author creates a clear and engaging timeline of the changing dynamics between the duo and how that relates to historical and cultural shifts in America.
Once we have read and annotated the text, our task for this week as critical thinkers and semioticians is to document and evaluate how the author is using the semiotic method to make their point: using examples that compare and contrast, bringing in historical context, using abduction, etc.
In order to do this, I have included a diagram of some of the key thinking skills  Download I have included a diagram of some of the key thinking skillsthat will be required of you when you get to larger writing projects. Our goal this week is to become familiar with the concepts and vocabulary of semiotics and how they are developed by skilled semioticians.
Directions: Please reply to this discussion thread and fill in the diagram the best that you can for the Superman and Batman article. You can either create a diagram so that it’s visual or simply list the categories and analyze them. For example, how does Riesman historicize or contextualize his examples of the changing attitudes towards Superman and Batman? Or, how does Riesman associate similar or different signs in the system? How does he make conclusions about what these signs mean? For each circle, you might list one or two items. Try and fill out as many as you can because this will prepare you for brainstorming your own semiotic analysis. I’ve attached graphic organiser doc needed for the firstfirst assignment.
