, the international magazine of happiness and
self-enslavement. SMILE is founded on external relations; its universe is
textual, constituted by similarities and differences. The traveling Neoist who
imitates voices and speech, facial expressions and gesticulation is the nucleus
of this universe. Her voyage is camouflaged as an exploration of the semiotic
zone in the episodical sequence of the medieval romance, beginning with her
'*death*' as the spectacle of containment. Neoism avoids the term "mimesis," but
hints at it when mentioning the ritual roots of its undertaking. The Neoist
negates 'representation' and shifts the notion of mimesis to a purely
linguistic level. Although this magazine presupposes language as the initial
condition of its mechanism, its textual space has already expanded to such a
degree that it will be capable of perpetuating itself in unlimited semiosis.
