Clues

  • a rule of artistic practice (10)
  • a school of thought in which communication is conceived as a process whereby information is transmitted (7, 6)
  • an interpretation of a text that identifies the dominant reading but also seeks to mediate this (7, 10)
  • any reading that rejects or significantly 'quarrels' with the dominant reading and/or presents different/contrary meanings (7, 12)
  • Eco talked about two tendencies of texts: the tendency to be 'open' and allow/invite/encourage a wide range of different interpretations:the opposite tendency presents 'closed' text which can only be read in a limited number of ways: sometimes one (4, 3, 6, 5)
  • someone who controls the selection of information to be offered to a given channel e.g. newspaper editors are significant gatekeepers, but we are all gatekeepers in an interpersonal sense, deciding as we do what we communicate & what we omit/holdback (10)
  • the meanings in a text that are revealed through the receiver's own personal and cultural experience (11)
  • the origin of any barrier to communication (5, 6)
  • the specific, direct or obvious meaning of a sign rather than its associated meanings: those things directly referenced by a sign (10)
  • these describe the essential relationship between the 'shape' of a text (how it's been made) and 'what's in it/what it's about) (4, 3, 7)
