Abstract
The approaches to a semiotics of visual language were presented to provide background on semiotic analysis and interpretation of Filipino Superheroines. Saussure’s Structuralism; Dyadic Model [Signifier-Signified], Peircian Triadic Model, and Morris’ Semiotic Model. Three superheroines, Darna, Volta, and Krystala were used as subjects for semiotic interpretation of its images. It is Morris’ semiotic model {syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic} that was used as an approach in reconstructing the images of the three Filipino superheroines. In the introduction, a brief background on women’s status was mentioned (years, years back) on how they struggled to have a place in society. This paper in a way complemented such evaluation on women’s status; thus, a semiotic interpretation on these images helped in establishing concepts on the changing role and status of women in the society.
