noemata. <strong>Re</strong> codework (KristevaEco). long reply I just got back from<br />

aconf. with messages I have to deal with. not spam. But if you look<br />

atKristeva's <strong>Re</strong>volution in Poetic Language you'll see. a lengthy<br />

treatment ofMaldoror especially the unabridged Fr. version and a. great<br />

deal of thisis a combination of psychoanalytics and semiotics which<br />

she. You'd have to look at the book it's hardly reductionist. Same with.<br />

Greimas etc. Alan I have read it and I find Eco and all such semiotic.<br />

models of language reductionist. Where does a text like Lautreamont's.<br />

Maldoror fit into Eco's scheme Where do the texts of the insane<br />

Language is. not only aboutsignals (Eco's signfunctions) and their<br />

corresponding. behavioral responses.There is a form of dark matter in<br />

language that never. gets touched upon by semiotics. It is where signals<br />

get crossed elided. broken down and too often dismissed in semiotics as<br />

gibberish or noise.. Eco's approach isgood for analyzing highclass<br />

linear detective novels like. the ones he writes but it falls apart on texts<br />

that don't make the rage of. interpretationtheir goal. Like all models of<br />

the world semiotics fits some. things well and other things badly and<br />

the things it fits badly happen to be. precisely the things I care most<br />

about right now in the making of art. Maybe. somebody could propose<br />

a new nonlinear model of semiotics or better a. chaotic one that would<br />

extend the field into a place that might be. interesting. But Eco's views<br />

on language are too restrictive for me and. don't carry me to the places<br />

I want to go. Greimas deals with a much. wider range of issues than<br />

semiotics in his work and I prefer him to Eco.. Even so there is still<br />

much in the making of art that Greimas doesn't take. into account. (Not<br />

that I can recall anything specifically that I could. critique off the top of<br />

my pointy little head. . .) Linguistics still only. skims the surface of<br />

art's deepest concerns so I guess the question is. should an artist be<br />

content with merely skimmed surfaces Or should he dive. headlong into<br />

the deep waters where theories fear to tread I guess some of. us are<br />

Ahabs and some of us are Ishmaels. I favor the crazy Ahab impulse.<br />

speaking for myself despite my wooden leg. I am taking a breather<br />

here. let others get into the conversation if they wish. Feel free to tear<br />
