Roman Jakobson stands alone in his semiotic theory of poetic
analysis which combines semiotics, linguistics and structuralist
poetics. This groundbreaking book proposes methods for developing
Jakobson's theories of communication and poetic function. It
provides an extensive range of examples of the kinds of Formalist
praxis that have been neglected in recent years, developing them
for the analysis of all poetry but, especially, the poetry of our
urban future. Throughout the book the parameters of a city poetic
genre are proposed and established; the book also develops the
theory of the function of shifters and deixis with special
reference to women as narrators. It also instantiates an
experimental poetic praxis based on the work of one of Jakobson's
great influences, Charles Sanders Peirce. Steadfastly adhering to
the text in itself, this volume reveals the often surprising,
hitherto unconsidered structural and semiotic patterns within poems
as a whole.
