Abstract

As the development of semiotic, the word “body” as become the key term in the field of modern philosophy. This paper put emphasis on the relationship between bodies and signs, pointing out body falls in conflict between hiddenness and prominent image by virtue of signs, which can be stated by “the problem of agency”. Butler intends to solve this problem within discourse semiotics by resorting to theory of performativity. We are, therefore, forced to reflect the flesh body in a next context, and even to explore the problems beyond the frame of Western culture and philosophical thought.
