Letter
Kid A In Alphabet Land Learns the Logic of the Letter!
The letter designates the material support of signification. It is not meaning itself, but what carries meaning—marks, traces, and differences that persist beyond interpretation.
In Lacanian theory, the letter is distinguished from the signifier as such. While meaning may shift or fail, the letter remains, repeating in the same place and producing effects regardless of intention.
The letter thus introduces a dimension of insistence. It returns, leaves a mark, and structures repetition independently of conscious understanding.
Within Kid A In Alphabet Land, the Letter teaches Kid A that something endures after sense collapses. What is written continues to act, even when it is no longer read.
