Description:The narratives of Mark Twain's two Mississippi works, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Life on the Mississippi, oscillate between the realms of the Semiotic and the Symbolic with a motion equivalent to the uncontrolled and uncontrollable current of the great river. Civilization in general, and especially the institutions of piloting correspond in complex, fruitful ways with Kristeva's use of the Symbolic, while the shape-shifting Mississippi itself corresponds to the fluid, drive-ridden, maternal, and polymorphous qualities of the Semiotic chora. The Semiotic qualities of Twain's prose and the antics of his characters serve trickster-like functions in the liminal space between the semiotic shiftiness of the river and the fixed, institutionalized, and patriarchal presence of pilothouse culture and life on the shore. Weighted toward the Semiotic pole of Julia Kristeva's psycholinguistic continuum, Huck and Jim's pranks constitute what Jim Powell calls an overflow of the Semiotic influence of the river onto the raft and the shore.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
