*practices of transmuting signs**
transversal web journal*
Transmutation is the transformation of one object into another. In
alchemy, it is mostly associated with making gold. In linguistic theory,
we understand it to mean a process of intersemiotic translation. For
Roman Jakobson, transmutation is "a rendering of linguistic signs by
means of signs from non-linguistic systems of signification." Instead of
the alchemists' pursuit of gold, this process of transmutation involves
the search for forms of articulation that go beyond language. The texts
brought together in this web journal describe such semiotic procedures,
which can no longer be grammatically embedded in an existing system. In
this sense, transmutation opens up new political possibilities.
Transgressing the rules of the dominant order in a targeted way can give
rise to new forms of rebellion that express a desire to undermine or
abolish those rules. The new political condition is the very gold into
which these forms of rebellion seek to transmute current conditions
through a series of combative practices: political activism, theatre or
the rap of the French suburbs.
