Description

B>Originally published in 1973, this study, based on Wieder's investigation of a halfway house program designed for parolees previously convicted of narcotics offenses, raises important questions for semiotics and constitutes a major, empirically based challenge to much standard doctrine in the theory of signs, as well as in sociology. Co-published with the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology.
