The closer we get, the more we see of less. The further out we move, the more we see of more - until we get so far that what we are examining disappears.
Everything is "emergence," including "distance" only as the bottomless nonsense that it exists. Parallax (relative) movement is the sheer nonsense that is the mayhem. Analogy is what is sense. Everything is word. No text is ever the same thing over time, or over anything. Inference and interpretation are the bullshit that is the mayhem. The question is, "what is this referent object x that (univocally) exists, and perpendicular to it, that y of "the observer's perspective?" The answer is, "they are the bullshit." "Interpretation is not reducible to the responses elicited by the textual strategies accorded to the symbolic mode. The interpretation of metaphors shifts from the univocality of catachreses to the open possibilities offered by inventive metaphors. Many texts have undoubtedly many possible senses, but it is still possible to decide which one has to be selected if one approaches the text in the light of a given topic, as well as it is possible to tell of certain texts how many isotopies they display. (See Chapter 6, "Isotopy," where I discuss the many senses of the concept of isotopy.) Besides, we are implementing inferences (and we are facing a certain interpretive freedom) even when we understand an isolated word, a sentence, a visual sign. All this amounts to saying that the principle of interpretation (in its Peircean sense) has not to be identified with the far fetched assumption that— as Valery said—il n'y a pas de vrai sens du'n texte." Umberto Eco, Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language. Ronald Green (.01) The closer we get, the more we see of less. The further out we move, the more we see of more - until we get so far that what we are examining disappears.
Richard Soloway Another example of parallax! Ronald Green That's a fancy word for what is "happening". The paradox I spelt out is much more efficacious and definitely more fun. The mayhem is the organized crime of the dualistic self that efficacy gotta have farce. |
