Semiotic domains. Two very interesting words put together to mean something that will eventually encompass our entire world.

Semiotic domains. Those words sound and look intimidating. However, after class this week, I have found that those words are not intimidating at all.

This topic was brought up today in my "skype date" with my fiance in India. We were talking about the Wheel of Time series. Eric has read all of the eleven books in the series, and I am only on the seventh one. (this is a constant problem, because he knows everything about the books and likes to remind me of this) I was explaining to Eric what was going in my book and I realized that anyone who may have been listening to the conversation would have no idea what we were talking about ( that is, if they hadn't read the books). Rand and his gateways, the Aiel and their spears, Aes Sedai and saidar....all of these things would mean nothing to an outsider. Thinking about this, I realized that "Wheel of Time" is a semiotic domain. Of course, I explained all of this to Eric and he was glad to be enlightened about semiotic domains (for once, I knew about something that he didn't know about).

The question I ask myself now is, what other semiotic domains am I a part of? Well, I suppose I am a part of the semiotic domains of knitting, crocheting, baking, cooking, gardening, photography, sewing, and I'm sure there are more.

Semiotic domains. I don't really know how to conclude this post.
