| Summary |
This radical re-evaluation of some standard debates surrounding Peirce' s theory of signs presents new interpretations of his work by studying his writings genealogically. Freadman uses the term "genre" to access Peirce' s work, and expands this original theoretical approach by proposing that " genre" interacts with " sign" and that this interaction is central to the study of the semiotic in general. |
