Abstract

This study takes an interdisciplinary approach. It calls on semiotics, geography and communication. And according to R. Barthes who says “whoever would like to outline a semiotics of the city should be at the same time semiologist (specialists in signs), geographer, historian, urban planner, architect and probably psychoanalyst”. To carry out this study, we have chosen the city of Guelmim as an example of analysis. We start from a corpus of images to see to what extent does the semiotics of space account for the intelligibility of the city? Can it be perceived as a significant and attractive approach in understanding a territory?
