Context

From Metapedia

Context is an essential aspect of any discourse, going back to the notion of the referent as described by Saussure and Pierce in Structural Linguistics.

In terms of Dialogic/Dialogism and Intertextuality, context is composed of prior cultural texts and meanings.

Jean Baudrillard's work on Simulacra / Simulation problematizes reality, and throws the whole concept of context into question by pulling a graspable referent out from under our feet.
