resumption

From December 12th 2005 issue of Fortune magazine, the title of the article is "Conspicuous Resumption" about the large bonuses for CEOs of public companies.

From the Merriam Webster online dictionary,

an act or instance of resuming or a return to payment in specie (in the same or like form or kind)

I'm guessing the latter.

brio

From a reference about Roland Barthes' Mythologies, which I happened across from yesterday's CultureKitchen about page:

"They all have a brio and a punchy topicality typical of good journalism."

From Merriam Webster's online dictionary:

enthusiastic vigor

similar to vivacity and verve.

semiotics

From CultureKitchen's Liza's Biography, which I happened across from the Blogher Friday night dinner list:

"The thread that runs through my interests is very Barthes-ian. The one book that I keep referring back to his Mythologies. Even though it was the first book to look at every day life through the lens of semiotics, it is still relevant today; especially with the impact of digital media, and the endless aesthetic possibilities that it offers, on the production of every day life. Think PhotoShoped [sic] porno vis-a-vis the the "normality" of cosmetic surgery. "

From Merriam Webster's online dictionary:

a general philosophical theory of signs and symbols that deals especially with their function in both artificially constructed and natural languages and comprises syntactics, semantics, and pragmatics
