Hip Hop Stickers and Semiotics Brazil 14 +12

A text is not a literal text, but in Semiotics refers to a combination of signs, signifieds, and mechanisms like metonymy. A text could be a sentence, a paragraph, an image, video clip, animation, a story, or even a collection of stories. A collection of signs can be in a single photograph or painting, a video clip, a television show, or even a feature film. Whenever signs come together in the land of semiotics, they become texts.

These texts can be understood, rearranged and put together in different combinations, with different meanings to different groups of people. Cultural texts refer to sign systems, storytelling tools and symbols that contribute and shape a society’s culture. They have underlying cultural meanings. They either require certain cultural knowledge to be understood, they are produced through a certain cultural context or, as most texts do, become representative of a culture and its values.

But cultural texts are not one-dimensional. A text is not simply representative of one culture, it does not belong to one culture, even if it purposefully excludes others semiotically. Cultural texts are multi-dimensional, they are dynamic.

A cultural text is perhaps better understood as having cultural layers of understanding. Where groups different in age, race, nationality, sexual orientation may read and understand a collection of signs in different ways. Depending on the producer or the audience, the text itself has a kind of flexibility in meaning to different people when it starts to operate culturally.

“Hip Hop Stickers and Semiotics” represents the many woven layers of fabric that has ultimately shaped a diverse, yet distinctive culture in Hip Hop.
