Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 1998.

Various notions of postmodernism, specifically linguistic models attempting to account for subjectivity, have questioned theories of consciousness and meaning in the social sciences. Through an informed reading of Pragmatism, this dissertation demonstrates that a purely discursive subject is untenable, generates a trinary model which accounts for it as communicative, and links it to zoosemiosis within evolution. The project supports American philosophy against dualisms of cartesian postmodern discourse of subject-object, mind-body, and self-other splits, and upholds social conditions of emergent systems (mind). It undertakes fundamental research into subjective (self) constitution in relation to signs, body, and society with reference to place, motion, and time by way of the perceptual which undercuts linguistic and specular assumptions. Methodological issues are addressed and integrated with the main approaches of semiotics, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. Oriented along the lines of thesis and subject after Heidegger, arguing against Husserl's presuppositions and Continental traditions, and in favor of nativist (American) contributions, a postmodern ethnography results which is interdisciplinary, and which resituates disciplines in relation to more basic practices.

520 $a The trifold of semeiosis, somatics, and sociality is explicated chronologically in four stages, corresponding to the intellectual figures treated in the four chapters. From precursor Chauncey Wright and the evolutionary signs of self, through the semeiosis and phaneroscopy of pragmaticist Charles Sanders Peirce's relation to embodiment, the play of signs is considered. Regathering questions of philosophical anthropology through selections of John Dewey and his encounter with F. M. Alexander, instrumentalism as embodied and somatic is disclosed, and related to Progressivism and the project of the Enlightenment as technological rationality (ideology). Social psychology, specifically George Herbert Mead's concept of sociality, rounds out this treatment of these exemplars of American thought in terms of the tripartite paradigm of thetic position.
520 $a In summary, the dissertation probes basic conditions of subjectivity for a semiotic (sign-using), embodied (moving and perceiving) organism as socially emergent and engaged in active material practices with consequences in an evolutionary context, and performs an historical and cultural retrieval which revitalizes Pragmatism in opposition to textual strains of postmodernity which deny the body and world.
