Sobre a iconografia walbiri e outras coisas mais: Neither sensual restriction nor the sense of referential value that it facilitates is equivalent, of course, to meaning, though the perception that we understand as meaning would be inconceivable and inexpressible without symbolic reference. Meaning requires a forged absolute, as a kind of epistemological lie, in order to frame such truths as it is able do convey. By the same token perception is by no means equivalent to the aesthetic productions through which the expansion of sensory range is realized, yet is bound to them, and schooled by them, as its focus. To speak of perception without this focus is like speaking of meaning without the orienting axes of symbolic reference. It follows from this that there is a development of perceptual or analogic focus coincident with every symbolic regime. Roy Wagner, Symbols that stands for themselves
