  • Abstract:
  • Instead of making reference to what some theories of mind have claimed, the linguistic turn here is based on the idea that because language is riven with figuration, a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphism, to borrow a phrase from Nietzsche, it cannot accurately represent the world, much less in the way that some theories of mind claim it can. The overwhelming desire to accept the subject's death, a directive that, as Perry Anderson remarked, became the catchphrase of the decade, is a sign of the times. The announcement spread throughout the numerous fields related to structuralist theory.
