Incidenti ed esplosioni della ricerca semiotica in Italia

Abstract

A history of Italian semiotics has not yet been written (as of semiotics in general). There are, scattered in journals and volumes of various kinds, many different reconnaissance, explorations, syntheses, chronologies, bibliographies. Nothing overall, from a historiographic point of view, or exhaustive, from a theoretical point of view. It is by no means established, moreover, that the time has come to launch such a challenge. When a discipline starts looking back to compile its own history, it is almost certainly in crisis.
