Abstract

This article focuses on ‘resistance’ and the role that semiotics has to play in it. It posits resistance through the lens of ‘existential semiotics’ (Tarasti, Existential Semiotics, Indiana University Press, 2000), based on Greimas but also including a lineage comprising Bergson, Aron, von Wright, Ricoeur and Elias, and ultimately back to Hegel in mapping the logics of ‘transcendence’. As illustrative cases, the essay analyses the aesthetics of resistance in painting, print fiction and music. It also seeks to shed light on the theoretical co-ordinates of the phenomenon of globalization.
