Saussure. Signified and signifier. All that bollocks.

Looks like a sort of cross between archery and rugby.
Barthes (boring)
I'll take exception to that - in Mythologies the chapter on Romans in films is "laugh out loud", lol
I really didn't like that book. Everything he said seemed either obvious or pointless. The only bit that stood out was him talking about someone's hair...
"The haircut, for example, half shorn, devoid of affectation and above all of definite shape, is without doubt trying to achieve a style completely outside the bounds of art and even of technique, a sort of zero degree of haircut."
isn't that from the Romans in film chapter though?
and it only seems obvious because he said it first, and everyone on the "continent" copied
You can actually imagine a Pynchon character saying this, can't you?"If you don't like pussy, then you can go elsewhere! This is all about men who like pussy. If you don't, go complain to momma."

"Ja, ja, ja, ja! In Prussia they never eat pussy...It's what @kid charlemagne said when someone complained about his relationships thread.
This from the man who found Cyclonopedia "absolute waffle."We could link this thread up with 'Will the Objects Win?' and consider whether signified and signifiers are in competition, are they trying to outbreed one another?
