  1. Practical Esotericism and Tikkun Olam: two modern renditions of a medieval mystical idea.Joel West - 2021 - Semiotica 2021 (242):203-227.
    In this paper I look at a specific Hebrew religious term, Tikkun Olam, to examine the manner in which it signifies differently in two specific cases. While we understand that meaning is carried in both denotation and connotation, and while a genealogy of meaning is often useful to understand the manner in which meaning has changed across time, this paper recounts the manner in which a single word may signify differently synchronically, at a single point in history.
