Semiotics of the Kitchen   00:05:30 1975
From A to Z, Rosler "shows and tells" the ingredients of the housewife's day, giving us a tour that names and mimics the ordinary with movements more samurai than suburban. Rosler's slashing gesture as she forms the letters of the alphabet in the air with a knife and fork, is a rebel gesture, punching through the "system of harnessed subjectivity" from the inside out. "I was concerned with something like the notion of Ôlanguage speaking the subject,' and with the transformation of the woman herself into a sign in a system of signs that represent a system of food production, a system of harnessed subjectivity." —Martha Rosler Also available on: Anthology: I Say I Am: Program 1	Biography of Martha Rosler Titles by Martha Rosler: Born to be Sold: Martha Rosler Reads the Strange Case of Baby M Domination and the Everyday The East is Red and the West is Bending If It's Too Bad to Be True, It Could Be DISINFORMATION Losing: A Conversation with the Parents Seattle: Hidden Histories Secrets from the Street: No Disclosure Semiotics of the Kitchen A Simple Case for Torture Vital Statistics of a Citizen, Simply Obtained Work by Martha Rosler also appears on: Anthology: I Say I Am: Program 1 Anthology: Surveying the First Decade
