Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OK, I was off a little on the meaning of "signifier"
signifier (the sound pattern of a word, either in mental projection - as when we silently recite lines from a poem to ourselves - or in actual, physical realization as part of a speech act)
...so, not the same as the "word."
I found Foucault difficult, but rewarding when I struggled through a book.
I rarely answer my door, but the cop was actually in my apartment (my door is at the bottom of the stairway) and, like shining a light up onto me!
Ay yay! How long was your cat meowing? Like two days? Because that's about how long I'd wait before CALLING THE COPS about a neighbor, if that was the only "evidence."
OK, my previous post about "signifier" pertained to semiotics. Structuralism is a little different when applied to literary criticism.
Why couldn't there be Wikipedia when I was in college?
Hee. I was wondering about structuralism and its relationship to semiotics. That was all sounding very familiar.
And it might have involved Spike being accused of killing Elizabeth Short, I'm not really sure.
I'm not sure if this is the funniest or the saddest thing I've heard all day.

On the phone with India, using some of the stuff I learnt in the past 2.5 days of training. Plus the document I wrote when I came back from training early.

But I'm faking it with a group of untrained co-workers, and it's not bad. But we go way back. Still, it's kinda cool to be able to use stuff so quickly.

Perhaps the assumption is that the kitty only meows after it's finished gnawing on her corpse.

Well, sure. You don't want to advertise the meat-haul that belongs to you and you alone.
Aha! My batfact is #1. Admittedly, it used to be #1 and #2, but that's all cleared up now.
Meeting's done, went well, head...well, you know.
