Description
Universal Publishers The Semiotics of Becketts Theatre A Semiotic Study of the Complete Dramatic Works of Samuel Beckett 2007 Edition by Khaled Besbes
What this book will hopefully contribute to the general canon of theatrical studies is its study of the Beckettian dramatic text not as a model of the 'absurd' tradition, but rather as a cultural product whose writer's thinking can scarcely be dissociated from the cultural environment within which it took shape, and whose deciphering requires the use of cultural codes and sub-codes that will undergo detailed examination in the course of analysis, a study that we may so generically call a cultural semiotic study of Beckett.
