a PARADIGM is a mix of signs that creates a mini universe of meaning, a collection of related associations.

This advertisement represents the paradigm of a "cowboy".
Either way, the myth of masculinity has many different paradigms in itself.

Connotation: association of concepts in a gesture or sign.

There are different levels of meaning.
With a sign we can make up or give another meaning.

Assuming that when a reality (being gay) is more exposed in media (gay representation), it affects society and changes it (everyone "becomes" gay).

The addresser not only sends the message, it also ENCODES it. It is the addressee who receives and DECODES it.

They analyze everything and organize everything. Once and again, and again... and again.

His focus was on propaganda techniques.

He would take a text and filter it through multiple standard questions: who (control analysis), what (content), which (media channel), whom (audience) and what effect (effect analysis).

This procedure can be used both to analyze and create content.

TRANSACTIONAL MODEL.

Barnlund (1970), Frymer (2005) and Wilmot (1987) models.
classification of the "noise" element in the scheme. It contemplates a shared field of experience.

Interactional model. Basque sports games, an uncommon example: pilota-jokoa.

INTERACTIONAL MODEL.

Wilbur Schramm model (1954). The main difference with the first model (Shannon & Weaver) it is that this scheme is circular and it includes new elements, such as FEEDBACK. Feedback tells communicators whether their message is received/understood.

Our "art gallery" at class. We depicted masterfully (if we may say so😘) the first communication model's definition. Each of us with our different point of view.

examples of multiple interpretations:
1) being sarcastic
2) emojis, memes, stickers...
3) leaving someone on read
4) liking an instagram story
5) crying (happy-sad tears)

Shannon and Weaver's model (1948). a linear model. assumes there's only ONE message, in reality we give off multiple signs all at once. the feedback is missing in this model. unidirectional.

there is no impartial media. there're always interests, images, states... the question is about the system. does the capitalist system want democracy? in this context we have different concepts such as: Partisans. these are ideology driven groups/people. usually used for political stands in media.

there is a cicle of consumption encouraged by the social media influencer *new* industry. it is a competition to sell it to the best bet.

Knowledge about communication is essential to confront the natural manipulative tool that it can be. Communication is not just a human quality, but it is intricate to the human nature. The human condition can be defined by rationality (thinking/emotion and action) and by the freedom to choose.
