This permits him to view performance as an original combination within a textual structure of pre-existing codes and specific codes that are created anew with each performance and this recongizable only be abduction. |

| Publisher Description: The book . . . succeeds at refining elements in the problem that semiotics and theater represent to and for one another. --Choice The Semiotics of Performance surprisingly retains its revelatory freshness, and actually opens up areas of reseach that could very well supply new incentives for further probing into what semiotics can offer to the study of theatre. --Theatre Survey |
