Description for Semiosis, Marginal Signs and Trickster
Hardback. Taking an eclectic and evolutionary approach to signs, this text sees the sign as a fundamental part of human development. It offers integrative models of semiosis that utilize both American and European approaches to explore dreams, numbering signs, mythic narrative, and new signs. Num Pages: 250 pages, biography. BIC Classification: CFG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 226 x 143 x 20. Weight in Grams: 438.
As signifying creatures, we fear the false creation 'signifying nothing' because, like Macbeth, we think of them as daggers of the mind that raise questions about the reality of our signs, about signs as tools of creation and power, about the dark terrors (and lighter joys) that exist in human desire, and about the signs and the mind. This text argues that signs are, at base, generative things creating as much as they refer.
