Biglietti d'invito per una semiotica marcata

Abstract

Sayings, rumours, etymologies, prophecies; mystical languages, poetic words, scientific rhetoric; Tex, Pinocchio, zombies; tattoos and outrages. By example and exhortation, Paolo Fabbri has always urged Italian and international semiotics to deal with texts of all kinds, never skipping the links that keep the objects of analysis in connection with method, theory and philosophy. His writings thus read like invitation cards, amiable challenges to grasp meaning as and where it emerges. The vast anthology proposed is edited by Gianfranco Marrone, his privileged interlocutor, as Fabbri was for Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Algirdas Greimas.
