Abstract
This essay explores the way that "diving into the wreck" provides a dialogic link between Coetzee's postcolonial novel Foe and Rich's feminist poetry, in the context of Hegel's emphasis upon immersion as a means to comprehending an/other. The iconic sign is shown to provide a ladder from arbitrary word to physical object, which in the case of Friday is the plan of a slave ship.
