Semiotics of culture

Semiotics of culture is like a kind of code or a way of looking at how different symbols, images, and ideas are connected and relate to each other. It's like trying to figure out what something means or what a particular thing means to a group of people. Let's say, for example, a group of people in a certain culture all wear a certain type of hat - this hat might become a symbol of that culture and can have a special meaning. Semiotics of culture looks at how that hat might be meaningful and what it stands for.
