The Literature: Semiotics

http://afc-theliterature.blogspot.com/2007/07/semiotics.html

Friday, July 20, 2007. A science that studies the life of signs within society is therefore conceiva­ble. . . I shall call it semiology (from the Greek semeion, sign). Semiology would show what constitutes signs, what laws govern them. Since the science does not yet exist, no one can say what it would be; but it has a right to existence, a place staked out in advance.2.

http://afc-theliterature.blogspot.com/2007/07/function-of-masquerade-in-last.html

Friday, July 20, 2007. The function of masquerade in The Last Seduction (1993) by Alastair James John Atkinson.

http://afc-theliterature.blogspot.com/2007/07/psychoanalysis-short.html

Friday, July 20, 2007. Nevertheless, psychoanalytic structures do seem to describe a surprising number of films. The Return of the Repressed. I have to note that I've always found that men are anxious about castration, whereas women deny their penis envy. Clearly they are repressing it.). Id, Ego and Superego.
