• Resumen

  • According to Haaland, in his History of Beauty Eco distinguishes between the beauty of provocation, mostly associated with avant-garde art, and the beauty of consumption, tied to mass media art. In Haaland's words: "Eco's study of the cinema points to the civic function that semiotic analysis should ideally serve in creating a public awareness about both the ideological implications and dialogic potential of art" (157-58). Semiotics takes the form of social commitment, revealing the ideological implications in apparently unambiguous images while also teaching us to alter our perspectives and to approach genuine works of art [...] not for their potential to incite ideological conflict but for the opportunity they afford us for dialogue in a moment when all other channels of communication appear to be blocked by socio-political differences. Soja's Postmodern Geographies (1989); Doreen Massey's Space, Place, and Gender (1994); Steve Pile's The Body and the City (1996); Rob Shields's Places on the Margin (1991); and David Bell and Valentine Gill's edited collection, Mapping Desire (1995).
