Examples
-
They're signs that beg to be resignified; to be reinterpreted and refined.

From the perspective of formalism, the text - as a set of signifiers - hasn't changed; but what has changed is that those signifiers are no longer under any constraint to be thought of as signs, and so at the end of the day, so long as the text looks the same, what it comes to mean is dependent upon how it is resignified by the interpreter, who now controls it.
