CODES

These are the codes used to star the texts. They are slightly different from Barthes' because of the nature of the starred text.

The Hermeneutic Code (HER.): Code that induces ambiguity and enigma.
The Proairetic Code (ACT.): Code that builds interest or suspense through action.
The Semantic Code (SEM.): Code that suggests a secondary connotation.
The Cultural Code (REF.): Code that involves something that comes from common knowledge.
The Symbolic Code (SYM.): Code that involves deeper structural principle that organizes semantic meanings, usually by way of antitheses.
