'The bilateral space of the symbolic consciousness, Barthes writes, massively privileges resemblance, constructs an analogical relation between signifier and signified that ignores the question of form, and creates a vertical dimension within the sign'.
Bhabha, H. (1990), Interrogating Identity: Frantz Fanon and the Postcolonial Prerogative
'John Locke's famous criteria for the continuity of consciousness could quite legitimately be read in the symbolic register of resemblance and analogy....the agency of depth brings together in an analogical relation (dismissive of the differences that construct temporality and signification) that same consciousness uniting those distant actions into the same person, whatever substances contributed to their production.'
'Barthes' description of the sign as symbol is conveniently analogous to the language we use designate identity. At the same time, it shed light on the concrete linguistic concepts with which we can grasp how the language of personhood comes to be invested with a visuality or visibility of depth.'
