About the Author 183
This brief, student-friendly introduction to the study of semiotics uses examples
from
25
iconic locations in the United States. From Coney Island to Las Vegas,
the WorldTradeCenter to the Grand Canyon,
Berger
shows how semiotics offers
a diferent
lens in understanding locations taken for granted in American
culture. He recasts Disneyland according to Freud, channels the Mall of America
through Baudrilliard, and s^s the Washington Monument through the lens of
Barthes. A seasoned author of student texts,
Berger
offers an entertaining, non-
threatening way to teach theory to undergraduates and that will fit ideally in
classes on cultural studies, American studies, social theory, and tourism.
