Cura del senso e critica sociale
Quando una disciplina inizia a guardarsi indietro per redigere la propria storia, certamente èin crisi. Non èil caso della semiotica oggi in Italia, dove anzi ci si trova in un momento di forte crescita, sia dal punto di vista degli andamenti della ricerca sia da quello accademico e culturale. Fatte salve le resistenze (corporative? ideologiche? politiche?) allo sviluppo del paradigma di studi sui testi e i modelli socio-culturali, la semiotica italiana vive un’euforica crescita intellettuale: ha ribadito i propri programmi d’azione e di passione, s’èdotata degli adeguati strumenti di indagine, ha superato prove e controprove, ha raggiunto parecchi risultati: e sta ricevendo i dovuti riconoscimenti.Questo volume ne offre una ricognizione, con un viaggio nei suoi principali campi di studio: immagine, cibo, religione, cultura, media, audiovisivi, cognizione, musica, pubblicità, moda, memoria, politica, diritto... Ecco apparire il minimo comune denominatore di uno studio scientifico che ha a cuore i fenomeni storici ed etnici: la società èun corpo con arti e membra i cui sintomi vanno osservati da vicino. I semiologi lo analizzano e interpretano con l’impegno politico di traduttori di ciò che accade.
The Social Semiotics of Populism

Release Date: 2023-01-26
The concept of 'populism' is currently used by scholars, the media and political actors to refer to multiple and disparate manifestations and phenomena from across both the left and the right ends of the political spectrum. As a result, it defies neat definition, as scholarship on the topic has shown over the last 50 years. In this book, Sebastián Moreno Barreneche approaches populism from a semiotic perspective and argues that it constitutes a specific social discourse grounded on a distinctive narrative structure that is brought to life by political actors that are labelled 'populist'. Conceiving of populism as a mode of semiotic production that is based on a conception of the social space as divided into two groups, 'the People' and 'the Other', this book uses semiotic theory to make sense of this political phenomenon. Exploring how the categories of 'the People' and 'the Other' are discursively constructed by populist political actors through the use of semiotic resources, the ways in which meaning emerges through the oppositions between imagined collective actors is explained. Drawing on examples from Europe, North America and South America, The Social Semiotics of Populism presents a systematic semiotic approach to this multifaceted political concept and bridges semiotic theory and populism studies in an original manner.
The Semiotics of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Release Date: 2024-11-14
Focusing on the discursive dimension of the COVID-19 pandemic from a semiotic perspective, this book uses semiotic theory and methods to analyse the meaning-making mechanisms and dynamics that occurred during, and revolved around, the pandemic. Demonstrating the utility of semiotic theory, concepts and analytical methods to make sense of discursive phenomena like those triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the book explores in detail: · the blame-attribution discourses that emerged at the beginning of the pandemic; · how the coronavirus was brought to life in plastic and visual manifestations as a monster that poses a threat to humans; · how the collective actor 'the healthcare workers' was constructed in discourse and axiologised in positive terms; · the semiotics of the body during the pandemic, with a focus on the face, facemasks, social distancing and the uses of the body in online environments; · the idea of a 'new' normality following the pandemic. The book examines different dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including examples from Europe, Latin America and the United States and a wide range of images, texts, practices and objects, in order to highlight the importance of its discursive and semiotic nature.
