In this episode, Dublin Business School lecturer Dr Piotr Sadowski talks about his research interests which include semiotics and silent cinema. Piotr begins by considering the origins of his doctoral studies and how they came to inform his later ideas. We then move on to think about the suffering and satisfaction inherent in advanced study; the mythical origins of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; ideas of culture, narrative and storytelling; semiotics and the creation of meaning; systems theory; indexicality; early German cinema; F.W Murnau and Fritz Lang; and the artistic maturity of film as a medium. We finish our conversation with Piotr outlining his latest research project, the semiotics of acting.
