The example analyzed is the representation of the sexes in George Eliot's novel THE MILL ON THE FLOSS, a representation which is intertextually mediated, metafictional, and transformatory, rather than merely "realistic" or spontaneous. This view of writing as a practice of material production in the intertextual field is theorized on the basis of V. N. Voloshinov's (or M. M. Bakhtin's) materialist linguistics, and of Peirce's semiotics, and the methodological kinship of their theories is asserted. literatura semiótica ideología v. n. voloshinov c. s. peirce george eliot Vol. 27.1 (1991), pp. 32-50 PLL Papers on Language and Literature 0031-1294 garciala@unizar.es http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6542/files/ART--2011-027.pdf Texto completo oai:zaguan.unizar.es:6542 public driver Filología inglesa Filología Inglesa y Alemana ART international_article public
