CUEVAS CALDERON, Elder. A transcendental subject in Semiotics?. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2019, n.41, pp.113-128. ISSN 2594-0619.

This essay analyses the pertinence of the transcendental subject into Semiotics. Even though this topic has been treated with distance, our aim is to propose a reinterpretation of the transcendental Subject without the postmodern historicism. From Descartes to Foucault, and from Kant to Lacan, this essay confronts the possibility of transcendentality in the Semiotics of Jacques Fontanille. We have chosen the ontology perspective of antagonism, the negative status of liberty, the relation of Politics and Universality and the incompleteness of the Subject in democratic demands.
