Semiological Analysis of a Television Show -- “Touched by an Angel”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the semiologic aspects of the prime-time television show “Touched by an Angel.” In contemporary popular culture, television serves as one of the best possible representations of how it is possible to understand larger realities about society and social beliefs via the stories told and symbols presented. The popular prime-time show “Touched by an Angel” illustrates such a process. The show is almost an ancient morality play in which the players learn greater truths about themselves and the world in which they live. The symbols and signals presented as a common denominator in each episode fit into a number of the assumptions made by Western humanity regarding “seeing the light” and personal redemption. Bibliography lists one source.
