Abstract
In common with all discourse, the literary text bears the traces of its own determinations, both physical and socio-historical. It is as much a product of a society as it is of an individual psychology and the signifiers which constitute it have reference points in both of these sets of conditions of production. An analysis of the sociohistorical register of signification in The Caretaker reveals, in the drama of Davies's passage through Aston and Mick's household, the non-conscious representation of contradictions that were to mark the social and political life of Britain in the 1960s.
