Dispersion in a semiotic of minorities

Abstract

We propose a study of the semiosis engendered by minorities as communication acts. Such perspective, by imposing a primacy of communication processes over signifying systems, descenters the focus from a code-bases theory to a signic production theory, here approached from the point of view of the dispersions they produce in relation to media culture.  Between the many ways able to grasp minorities, we will approach the ones associated with sexual and racists’ regimes, as we understand that those regimes shape communications in the 20th century. Therefore, the homosexualities shape dispersions shape dispersions in the universe of sexuality, and racism constitute the techniques that produce a context in which minorities can be identified.
