It analyzes how meaning and signification are conceptualized within the two stories, how problems of misunderstanding are framed and possible solutions explored. In an attempt to overcome the limitations of speaking and writing, each story proposes a form of somacentric signification: the hunger artist turns his whole body into a sign, and the torture apparatus in the penal colony inscribes its sentence directly onto the delinquent’s skin. Using Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic concept of the sign, Friedrich Nietzsche’s principle of the conventional nature of meaning, and Jacques Derrida’s critique of Western metaphysics, I analyze mechanisms and limitations of somacentric signification. Exploring the reasons for its ultimate failure leads me to consider the social foundation of meaning as depicted within the two stories, addressing the question under which circumstances understanding and communication are possible in the works of Franz Kafka.","PeriodicalId":45184,"journal":{"name":"SYMPOSIUM-A QUARTERLY JOURNAL IN MODERN LITERATURES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46673023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Julia Kristeva’s ideas on signification and the interplay of the symbolic and the semiotic orders present in poetic creation prove useful in understanding this interplay of image and word. Hinojosa’s texts, along with Peinado’s drawings, attempt to re-create this process of signification, in which the text, although tied down by the symbolic order—that is, systems and realism—, constantly pushes to evade logic and allow the semiotic to emerge through genotexts. Hinojosa and Peinado’s combined creation of drawings and writings are examples of one such attempt to obliterate the social constraints of the symbolic order and allow the reader/viewer to witness indirectly the semiotic processes of the pre-Oedipal phase.","PeriodicalId":45184,"journal":{"name":"SYMPOSIUM-A QUARTERLY JOURNAL IN MODERN LITERATURES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41518456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, I argue that the focus on living beings becomes a way of fleshing out her account of this distant ancestor, whose life story she can only piece together from archival documents. As I demonstrate, the narrator, a version of Montalbetti, turns to shared experiences of the physical world as a way of imagining her great-great-grandfather, picturing them walking in the same garden and experiencing similar physiological sensations. The narrator draws attention to the corporeality of both herself and Jules, emphasizing their physicality and carefully positioning them as breathing bodies, part of a complex network of living beings. Ultimately, I show that, for the narrator, the world of living things is a source of both joy and melancholy. Her research into her great-great-grandfather becomes part of a larger process of reconciling the joy of engaging with the abundance of living and growing things around her with the sorrow of accepting the fundamental and inescapable fragility of living bodies, be they animal, plant, or human.","PeriodicalId":45184,"journal":{"name":"SYMPOSIUM-A QUARTERLY JOURNAL IN MODERN LITERATURES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59349786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
