Literature today is a very different concept from that of only a generation ago, and this difference is attributed usually to 'postmodernism'. Most radical of all is the possibility that the very notion of literature is rendered untenable by postmodernism. How did this possibility arise? Who are the key figures responsible for its emergence; which are the key texts of its expression? This Anthology provides ways of responding to such questions.

Where is semiotics now? As the promised science of the social life of signs in general, semiotics has not been true to its word. Although well established institutionally today - through specialist journals, research centres, international conferences, professional associations and the like - semiotics seems quaintly out of place in a world where text, culture and technology defy metadisciplinary, if not metaphysical, explanation. When the semiotician has finished explaining the music of Primal Scream, the textuality of an e-mail message or the culture of the Internet, most would believe there was still much to be said. A generation ago. the radical humanities scholar turned to semiotics for the last word on news production, cinematic desire or the meaning of youth style. Today that last word (which is always the latest word too) is more likely to come from cultural studies, literary theory or postmodernism - all of which are in several senses 'beyond' semiotics even while remaining indebted to it.In addition, we annot so easily presume to separate notions of production and desire, or news and cinema, precisely because we can no loner say for sure where the differences lie between notions of text, culture and technology.Beyond Semiotics provides an approach to these three interdependent concepts, in order to show what semiotics has always had to marginalize, forget or not see in the quest to professionalize itself. Meanwhile, outside the limitation of any discipline, the secular mysteries of text, culture and technology continue to call for a response - with the aim of not laying bare the truth, but of opening up the sign. Niall Lucy is Senior Lecturer in English at Murdoch University, Australia. He is author of Debating Derrida (Melbourne University Press, 1995), Postmodern Literary Theory: An Introdcution (Blackwell, 1997) and editor of Postmodern Literary Theory: An Anthology (Blackkwell, 2000).

John Kinsella is known internationally as the acclaimed author of more than thirty books of poetry and prose, but in tandem with - and often directly through - his creative and critical work, Kinsella is also a prominent activist. In this important collection of essays the vegan anarchist pacifist poet claims that poetry can act as a vital form of resistance to a variety of social and ethical ills, in particular ecological damage and abuse. Kinsella builds on his earlier notion of 'linguistic disobedience' evolving out of civil disobedience, and critiques the figurative qualities of his poems in a context of resistance. The book includes explorations of anarchism, veganism, pacifism, and ecological poetics. For Kinsella all poetry is political and can be a call to action.
