SEMIOTICS

A good place to start is Folding Ideas' (really old) video on signs and memes: Folding Ideas - Memes

DEATH OF THE AUTHOR

I'd say the best place to start would be the essay "Greatly Exaggerated" by David Foster Wallace, but it's, sadly, not online. It's in this book: https://www.amazon.com/Supposedly-Fun...

ENUNCIATION THEORY

The best way to acquaint yourself with enunciation theory is to read through the glossary of Casetti's Inside the Gaze: https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Gaze-Fi...
