LOPEZ, Edgardo Adrián. Outline for a study of the connections among metaphor, discourse and theory. Opcion [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.58, pp.9-34. ISSN 1012-1587.

Through an unusual interpretation of part of Peirce’s theory introducing the thought-provoking notions of social “practice” and “discourse,” an attempt is made to describe three broad kinds of discourse. At this point, not only a polemic about the truth and what Kurt Gödel’s famous theorems can teach us in the social sciences, but also the epistemological and semiotic aspects regarding the referent “external” (Greimas) and the meaning of objects as the “spiritual concrete” (Marx, Althusser) would take part.
