| dc.description.abstract | This treatise is an analysis of selected New Zealand film posters. The research undertakes to consider that the representation of the 'dark-side' of New Zealand culture is portrayed through a semiotic analysis of contemporary New Zealand film posters. The research method is based in the semiotic praxis of Roland Barthes, Ferdinand Saussure, Christian Metz, Umberto Eco and the associated 'science' of semiotics. Essentially it is argued that the bleak undertones and sense of 'unease' that exist in New Zealand culture is evident in New Zealand film and thus will be implicitly reflected in the publicity posters for these films. | en_US |
