Semiotic Arbitrage

Jason Leclerc: The creative outlet for my critical method, Semiotic Arbitrage, finds life in my writing spaces. In The Poet-Economist poetry space, I strive actively to root out the sublime between the synapses in language. I stand firmly against ideology, including the ideology of rationality that has supplanted the individual with the rules of science. The Semiotic Arbitrage space is a bit more involved. I explode dense poetry into essayistic flaneurism. Semiotic Arbitrage is the trading of ideas or symbols--taking advantage of those symbols' relative weaknesses and strengths-- among (at least three) different people or groups to gain what I consider "cultural profit." It allows us to look at issues or moments--instead of on a binary continuum--as a multiplanar scatterplot. No more right or wrong, right or left, Conservative or Liberal. It allows us to replace the "or" with "and."
