LASAW held their first seminar of the 2024-25 series with Carl W. Jones discussing how encoding advertising messaging with semiotic signs & codes can generate conversations on social and mass media which can later be decoded to reveal solutions to greater diversity in one of Mexico’s largest culture industries. The title of his talk was “Manufacturing signs as part of a Semiological Guerrilla Warfare Approach to Challenge Colonial Thinking in Mexican Advertising.”
