Eco's semiotic framework—particularly his theory of how signs generate meaning through denotation and connotation—appears to underpin the readings' discussion of how artworks like Duchamp's Fountain function as interpretive acts rather than fixed objects. The course uses Eco's model to argue that when a readymade is re-presented in a gallery context, the sign itself transforms what spectators perceive, making semiotics essential to understanding how art mediates between intention, representation, and interpretation.
