Iconic transposition of behaviors

I need to revisit my Bourdieu, but I wonder what iconic things are good candidates for jumping between spheres of life, a la Panofsky. How does a narrative get actualized? How does a dichotomy of male/ female physically structure a house? Are there semiotic aspects of certain schemas that make these schemas more or less susceptible to jumping? Are there typical transformations that happen in a jump?

What are the semiotic details of the "referential totality"?

In a small town, it seems that the "referential whole" is more "whole"...
