The book is divided into three parts, according to the following contexts: I) Linguistic and Cognitive, II) Theoretical and Literary-Historical, III) Anthropological and Cultural.
The contribution presents a reflection on the application of a semantic ontology in the didactic field aiming at promoting a critical awareness of the process of interpreting a cultural product that ...involves at least writing. First of all, the essay will take into consideration methodological approaches focusing the concept of ontology from the semantic (A. Greimas, R. Romano), philosophical (U. Eco) and anthropological (G. Bateson schismogenesis) points of view: then it will analyse two experiences in two college courses, in which has been successfully applied semantically oriented ontological analysis. Finally the essay will close with a reflection on the meaning that the proposal would have as regards some traits of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophical research.
O norte do Estado do Paraná é uma região brasileira de colonização recente, com pouco material a respeito, principalmente no que tange a obras de ficção. Portanto, este artigo está centrado em O ...trovador, de Rodrigo Garcia Lopes, que, partindo de um poema provençal, delineia um panorama desse período e, precipuamente, da cidade de Londrina. À moda de Umberto Eco, ele escreve um romance histórico-policial no qual literatura e história mantêm um diálogo intenso, erudito e jocoso. Apresenta, criticamente, o espírito colonialista inglês, informando e divertindo o leitor, visto que autentica seu discurso ficcional com elementos da realidade. Assim, este artigo focará a obra em pauta como um novo romance histórico, bem como as características que a inscrevem como tal (seguindo diretrizes apontadas por Esteves, entre outros pesquisadores), e evidenciará o conhecimento da “biblioteca” do autor, conforme Samoyault, além do exame da cartografia londrinense descrita, tanto a humana quanto a geográfica.

The northern part of the department of Paraná, Brazil is a recently colonized region, with scarce literary production, particularly with respect to fiction. The article focuses on O trovador, by Rodrigo Garcia Lopes, which provides an overview of the period, specifically of the city of Londrina, on the basis of a Provencal poem. In the style of Umberto Eco, the author writes a historical-detective novel in which literature and history enter into an intense, erudite, and ironic dialogue. It provides a critical view of the English colonial spirit, in a manner that informs and entertains the reader, while authenticating its fictional discourse with elements of reality. The article addresses the work as a new type of historical novel and discusses the features that make it such (following guidelines suggested by Esteves, among other researchers), discusses the author’s knowledge regarding the “library”, according to Samoyault, and examines Londrina as a human and geographic category.
Digitalisation and platformisation are continuously impacting and reshaping the societies we live in. In this context, we are witnessing the rise of phenomena such as fake news, hate speech, and the ...sharing of any other illegal content through social media. In this paper, I propose some ethical reflections on content moderation in the context of digital (social) media, as this topic seems – to me – to already incorporate other relevant digital issues in it, such as algorithms bias, the spread of fake news, and the potential misuses of artificial intelligence. In the first section, I will provide a few hermeneutic reflections over a speech given by the Italian scholar Umberto Eco, which appears to underline the necessity of a content moderation in an era of digital (social) media. In the second section, I will analyse, through a consequentialist perspective, critical and ethical issues posed by content moderation. In particular, I suggest the idea of a ‘moderate’ (reasonable and limited) content moderation that can only be assured by humans, as they are able to contextualise the content, to take emotions and subjective elements into account, to apply critical thinking and adaptability in complex circumstances.
The aim of my contribution is to analyse the role that common sense has played in Umberto Eco’s work. After making clear the distinction between good sense and common sense, and highlighting a number ...of differences with the Scottish philosophy of common sense, I will consider the uses and functions that common sense assumes in Eco’s philosophy: namely, a phenomenological function, a regulatory function and a communicative function. I will demonstrate how the characterisation of common sense in Eco emphasises the importance of the
dimension of Sens, the importance of the
dimension of semiosis, and how common sense plays a fundamental, pragmatic role in the disposition to act, whilst revealing the importance of the Peircian lesson and Eco’s consonance with Peirce’s positions.
The representation of space in digital games is symbolic and rule-based rather than uniquely spatial, thus virtual space bears significance, be it for narratological reasons, or for more stringent ...reasons of gameplay. Virtual architecture might be more apt to be analyzed as a system of signs, as, unlike real architecture, its very existence is for the communication of information to the player, and the communicative aspect is no mere accident or addition to other functions. We will utilize the semiotic frameworks put into place by Umberto Eco as regards architecture as mass communication and Brian Upton's as concerns digital games, with the concept of "ludic sign", to "read" the architectural design of Polish game The Witcher 3, as the role of architecture in world-building is of important metaphorical and symbolic value to the game. The Witcher 3 adopts a particular style, which diverges from the standard fantasy settings, and the dichotomy between the main game and its expansion Blood & Wine, set in a faux Italy/Southern France, is a perfect example of how virtual architecture carries a symbolic value and a communicative aspect and is not a mere backdrop for the action.

Selon U. Eco, l’inflation des théories du complot, des fausses nouvelles et d’autres croyances aberrantes de ce type relèverait de l’influence néfaste de la fiction sur l’imaginaire social. Dès lors, ...les règles qui président au rapport que la société entretient avec les genres fictionnels (le « pacte fictionnel ») devraient être sérieusement réformées afin de préserver les certitudes résiduelles qui permettent à notre société de garder encore intacte sa culture et son unité. Le présent article critique les prises de position d’Eco contre la fiction en montrant que celle-ci est, dans notre tradition culturelle, l’un des lieux principaux de problématisation des croyances éthiques, esthétiques, politiques et religieuses. Loin de corrompre la perception sociale de la réalité, la fiction peut servir à mettre à l’épreuve les normes d’ordre éthique, politique, esthétique et religieux qui régissent la vie sociale.
En este artículo se exponen y analizan las dos traducciones al castellano de la obra Juarez und Maximilian, del escritor austriaco Franz Werfel, publicadas en México. El análisis se realiza desde la ...semiótica cultural, a partir de la teoría de la comunicación expuesta por Göran Sonesson y el proceso de negociación de Umberto Eco. La complejidad de estas traducciones radica en dos aspectos: primero, se trata de una obra que transitó del alemán al inglés y de ahí al español, pero también del alemán al español; y segundo, la necesidad de tener conocimientos de la historia de México para su comprensión. Como resultado, se logra distinguir entre los discursos de cada uno de los textos meta y el texto base, así como su relación con las características biográficas de los traductores y sus competencias culturales, y la utilización de los textos de llegada.
