“Meaning is a dialogue — always only partially understood, always an unequal exchange.”
Foucault did not deny the existence of classes, but he was strongly opposed to this powerful element of economic or class reductionism in the Marxist theory of ideology.

Our common-sense intuition is that language comes from within us- from the individual speaker or writer; that it is this speaking or writing subject who is the author or originator of meaning. This is what we called, earlier, the intentional model of representation. But according to Saussure's schema, each authored statement only becomes possible because the ·author' shares with other language-users the common rules and codes of the language system- the langue- which allows them to communicate with each other meaningfully. The author decides what she wants to say. But she cannot 'decide' whether or not to use the rules of language, if she wants to be understood.

Saussure analysed the sign into two further elements. There was, he argued, the form (the actual word, image, photo, etc.), and there was the idea or concept in your head with which the form was associated. Saussure called the first element, the signifier, and the second element -the corresponding concept it triggered off in your head - the signified.

The main point is that meaning does not inhere in things, in the world. It is constructed. produced. It is the result of a signifying practice- a practice that produces meaning, that makes things mean.

It is simple enough to see how we might form concepts for
things we can perceive - people or material objects. like chairs, tables, and desks. But we also form concepts of rather obscure and abstract things, which we can't in any simple way see, feel ur touch. Think, for example, of our concepts of war, or death, or friendship, or love.

Does language simply reflect a meaning which already exists out there in the world of objects, people and events (reflective)? Does language express only what the speaker or writer or painter wants to say, his or her personally intended meaning (intentional)? Or is meaning constructed in and through language (constructionist)?
