Abstract

Borrowing the concept of possible worlds from logic and semantics and using it from a semiotic perspective, this paper indicates new ways of analysing mimesis in literature. Little does it matter to the sign whether the object to which it refers exists as mind-dependent or mind-independent: the action of the sign is always the signification of another sign. It is the imitation of an imitation.
