is a breakdown in the relationship in signifiers. His actions, directed toward regaining the lost object, set off on a path that leads to the object via a verbal path, then find themselves obliged to be content with words instead of things.

Drawing on Lacanian ideas about schizophrenia, Jameson points to one of the defining characteristics of the textual movement as the breakdown of the relationship between signifieds: 'shizophrenia is an experience of isolated, disconnected, disconinuous material signifiers which fail to link up into a coherent sequence . . . a signifier that has lost its signified has thereby been transformed into an image' (Jameson 1983:120 in Rabinow 1986:250).).

schizophrenia is the attempt to escape from a pathogenic learning context, within which the map of thought has become malformed. For Bateson, schizophrenia is the attempt to escape from a pathogenic learning context, within which the map of thought has become malformed.

is a process as a rupture, an irruption, an opening (percee} that breaks the continuity of a personality, carrying it off in a kind of voyage through an intense and terrifying 'more than reality,' following lines of flight that engulf both nature and history, both the organism and the mind.

Laing, who formulated a rich notion of process as a rupture, an irruption, an opening (percee} that breaks the continuity of a personality, carrying it off in a kind of voyage through an intense and terrifying 'more than reality,' following lines of flight that engulf both nature and history, both the organism and the mind.
