This essay analyzes the charged relationship between repetition and meaning in Gertrude Stein's short story "Miss Furr and Miss Skeene," focusing on the question how repetition reinforces or rejects signification. According to this analysis, Stein's text registers language as a repetitive chain which multiplies and liberates meanings (in the Nietzschean mode of repetition), not by a transcendental anchor or ground of signification (as in the Platonic mode of repetition) but by differences and contexts. Exposing the gap between signifier and signified, Stein's text embodies an arena of signifiers' freeplay. Throughout the text, repeated words, phrases, and sentences refuse to be tied to their conventionally designated slots of meanings. Instead, repetition liberates signifiers from their conventionalized meanings and they as "free signifiers" mock the convention of language - grammar and syntax - as a centered structure of signification. In Stein's text, this absence of the transcendental signified is presented not as a loss but as a liberation that allows the limitless freeplay of signifiers, which repeats, delays, subverts, and multiplies meanings. In this way, Stein unfetters language itself through repetition, and her text becomes a "gay" freeplay of signifiers.
