First published in 1977, this book presents a comprehensive and lucid guide through the labyrinths of semiology and structuralism perhaps the most significant systems of study to have been developed in the twentieth century. The authors describe the early presuppositions of structuralism and semiology which claim to be a materialist theory of language based on Saussures notion of the sign. They show how these presuppositions have been challenged by work following Althussers development of the Marxist theory of ideology, and by Lacans re-reading of Freud. The book explains how the encounter of two disciplines psychoanalysis and Marxism on the ground of their common problem language has produced a new understanding of society and its subjects. It produces a critical re-examination of the traditional Marxist theory of ideology, together with the concepts of sign and identity of the subject.
