Abstract

Immediately subsuming any cognitive relation as a sign reference, the Peircean view is able to explain any act of semiosis in theory, and thus unable to explain preferences and omissions in practice. To include these phenomena, we may combine semiotics and psychoanalysis, introducing objective opacity into semiotics, and straightforward formalization into psychoanalysis. To showcase the explanatory power of the resultant psychosemiotics, an outline on comics’ central sign type, the cartoon, is presented.
