Abstract

It is the objective of this article, first, to examine certain notions of 'affective' structure (exemplified in the work of, for example, Gregory Bateson and Claude Levi-Strauss) upon which cybernetic research into 'semiotic' systems is ultimately founded, and, second, to look at how this research points beyond a strictly anthropological conception of 'mind' - by way of an analysis of structural mechanics and dynamic systems - towards a general 'signifying materiality' as the basis of what can be colled 'agency' or 'consciousness'.
