Nel 2021, il Ministero della Cultura ha acquisito la biblioteca privata di Umberto Eco, la cui collezione di 1.200 libri antichi e rari è pervenuta alla Biblioteca Braidense di Milano. Essa include ...36 incunaboli che costituiscono l'oggetto del presente studio.
La notizia della scomparsa di Umberto Eco ha occupato tutto il mediascape della globalizzazione. La prova che il grande scrittore e semiologo, aveva saputo trasformare, con la sua opera, i propri ...lettori in un pubblico e il suo nome d’autore in un logo. Una carriera caratterizzata da un’attività incessante, da un invidiabile fiuto culturale e di una machiavellica fortuna che ho provato a ricostruire in “Eco quiproquo,” introduzione ad un libro sulla Fenomenologia di Umberto Eco: che racconta i suoi brillanti inizi e avvia agli sviluppi che lo ha visto come il motore mobilissimo della cultura italiana e internazionale. E riporta la mappa planetaria delle sue lauree honoris causa.
This paper discusses the knowledge production in dance, as well as its dissemination. The distinctions between theories of knowledge and knowledge production are examined, seeking a commitment to the ...study of knowledge already produced in the field of dance and the involvement with the production of knowledge from the artistic practice.
According to the prospect of the opened work by Eco, “a text is a web of white spaces, gaps to fill … a lazy (or economic) mechanism that lives on the added value of meaning introduced by the ...recipient” (Eco 1985, Lector in fabula ou la coopération interprétative dans les textes narratifs, Myriem Bouzaher (trad.). Paris: Grasset, 66–67, my translation). It is on this consecutive added value of meaning flowing from the interpretative activity that the present study will focus, in order first to identify elements of the childhood album requiring interpreting from a model reader and then to recall those meanings which can be applied to the text. More specifically, the goal is to describe and analyze the intertextual mechanisms involved in the syntactic and semantic organisation of four childhood albums published in Quebec between 1992 and 2002, which require the intervention of the model reader to identify the systems of significance and related knowledge. The albums under study all repeat the narrative pattern of well-known fairy tales and of a contemporary novella. The hypothesis is that if the generic elements of the albums reveal to a young reader known and familiar universes of reference, the process of intertextuality recalls content that, once subjected to the interpretation of a model reader, sometimes results in unexpected significance structures.
Umberto Eco is Italy's most famous living intellectual, known among academics for his literary and cultural theories, and to an enormous international audience through his novels, The Name of the ...Rose, Foucault's Pendulum and The Island of the Day Before. Umberto Eco and the Open Text is the first comprehensive study in English of Eco's work. In clear and accessible language, Peter Bondanella considers not only Eco's most famous texts, but also many occasional essays not yet translated into English. Tracing Eco's intellectual development from early studies in medieval aesthetics to seminal works on popular culture, postmodern fiction, and semiotic theory, he shows how Eco's own fiction grows out of his literary and cultural theories. Bondanella cites all texts in English, and provides a full bibliography of works by and about Eco.
What is the role of intention in the identification of encoding that arises for images and other non-lexical objects of semiosis? This proposal of the “intentional function” resolves the syntagmatic ...problems posed by visual imagery: it identifies the viewer’s treatment of what they encounter
it is encoded based on formal non-signifying cues visible in the image and learned through past experience. This decision about the organization and structure of the work becomes apparent from the consideration of a photographic “selfie” made by a monkey in the rainforest.

Imagen y control social. «Imagen y control social. El propio autor señala en las primeras páginas que su pretensión no es analizar los aspectos relacionados con la Τeoria de la imagen, sino «provocar ...una reflexión critica sobre la utilización de la imagen para analizar el polisémico concepto de control social» (p. 16). Correa nos advierte sobre el poder que ejercen las imágenes en la configuración del mundo y sobre el peligro que supone la dominación de las mentes, tanto por parte de los regímenes totalitarios como por parte de las democracias modernas, a las que denomina «sutiles mecanismos de dominación para la fabricación del consenso y el control del pensamiento» (p. 42). Asimismo, se vinculan estas ideas a numerosos ejemplos que pretenden mostrar el uso del poder emocional de las imágenes por parte de los grupos dominantes para adormecer, domesticar y narcotizar a los grupos dominados.
«What does art mean in a world where urgency predominates, a world that now exhausts its annual quota of renewable resources in July?» (Bourriaud 2021: 7; my translation). The climate crisis (which ...began in the last century, but whose consequences have become increasingly worrying in recent years), the Covid 19 pandemic that struck the planet in 2020 and the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the heart of Europe are epoch-making phenomena that are inevitably reshaping the present and future of human societies. With respect to this situation, is art being called into question or, on the contrary, is it an essential tool for rethinking the world of tomorrow? More specifically, is public art today a lost cause or an opportunity? In this article, I will try to place these questions within the framework of what we might call eco-aesthetics, which has an essential connection to the category of “relations”.
