Sumario:This paper aims to explore the role of the imagination of the sign in contemporary theory to intervene in the post-critical diagnosis that urges a reevaluation of the effectiveness of critique in light of the challenges posed by climate change. To do so, at first, we propose to point out some of the insistences related to this diagnosis, including: the discussion regarding the scope of the hermeneutics of suspicion; the rejection of the centrality of language, linguistic turn, and text; and the need to experiment with non-anthropocentric modes of thought. While addressing this diagnosis but without giving up the question of language (which remains central to literary critique), following Barthes, we explore the emergence of renewed semiological consciousness that seeks to avoid the closure of the symbolic. With this objective, primarily drawing from the contributions of Sauvagnargues and Kohn, we aim to emphasize the question of signs and language from an 'ecological' perspective that seeks to rethink their status beyond the dichotomous opposition between constructivism and realism.
