Abstract

Throughout the last hundred years, masculinist and feminist theorists alike have toyed with the idea of an anatomically determined body language, which translates the terms, and articulations of the body into that body of articulated terminology that we can call language. This paper is a semiotic analysis of aspects of self-expression of the black-woman protagonist portrayed in the writing of Toni Morrison's Beloved. This study uses semiotic in non-linguistic terms, including kinesics and proxemics
