LIGHTS, CAMERA, BARK! Representation, semiotics and ideology of non-human animals in cinema

Exhibition

KTU semiotics professor and the Head of International Semiotics Institute Dario Martinelli will present his new book Lights, Camera, Bark! at Vilnius Book Fair 2015

The monography analyses complicated relationships between animals and cinema industry. Although an academic publication the book will appeal to all animal and film lovers, everyone interested in semiotics or culture in general.

‘I have been occasionally criticized for my attitude, but the thing is: I like “academic” books to be for everybody, not just for scholars. In that sense, I always do my best to make my arguments understandable, to use a slightly less academic and more informal style, to employ humour,’ says Martinelli. Read more.

The event will feature screening of visual material and a dicussion on social, cultural and ethical meaning of human and animal relationships.

The presentation will take place at the Conference Hall 3.2 2
