A concept from semiotics and structuralism referring to he significant exclusion of a sign or element from a position in a syntagm that it might potentially occupy.
The result is that the elements which are selected (present) mean what they do only in contrast to the absent possibilities from which they have been selected. Hence absence is a major determinant of meaning at all levels of signification.
