Abstract

Abstract: This paper mainly discusses Guattari's a-signifying semiotics. He opposes Lacan's Structuralist psychoanalysis as well as the tyranny and hegemony of the signifier. By borrowing Hjelmslev's glossematics and Pierce's semiotics, he builds modes of semiotization, and develops the a-signifying semiotics, which offers a new perspective and dimension for the theory of subjectivity and the psychoanalytic criticism, and further forms a schizoanalytic criticism based on the a-signifying semiotics.

Key words: a-signifying semiotics, glossematics, semiology, subjectivity, schizoanalysis
