This provocative book undertakes a new and challenging reading of recent semiotic and structuralist theory, arguing that films, novels, and poems cannot be studied in isolation from their viewers and readers.
Demonstrates how psychoanalysis extends the claims of Saussurean linguistics for a science of signs, and takes the reader with great clarity and precision through a number of the most puzzling thickets of Freudian and Lacanian thought.
