The training session aims to explain how semiotics works, to help understand where the legitimacy of the discipline comes from and what to use it for. It will be focused on typical Parisian themes : luxury and innovation.
This session is meant for marketers, creative profiles and anyone interested into how to develop a rational approach to signs and meaning and for semioticians who want to explore applications on those subjects.
The session will be hosted by Samuel Grange and Luca Marchetti, two of the top French semiotic specialists. This is a unique chance to learn from the best.
