Accidents and explosions in semiotic research in Italy. Introductory notes
2022
A history of Italian semiotics has yet to be written. This issue therefore has completely different aspirations: more than a history, or even less a geography, its intended goal is that of self-analysis of, roughly speaking, the last twenty or twenty-five years. Something like this: let us stop for a moment, let us see where we have sown our seeds, and what we have reaped, what we still need to plan, and in which direction we will proceed. The essays collected here do just that: they outline the conceptual map of semiotic research in Italy, combining research themes, methods of investigation and, when they may overlap, research centres scattered throughout the country.

Sociosemiotica: teorie, esplorazioni, prospettive
2022
What is sociosemiotics? As it will be attempted to show in this paper it is at least in its Italian version, a specific way that semiotics has of conceiving social reality. We will clarify in these pages the theoretical assumptions of contemporary semiotics that have made possible the edification of sociosemiotics as a current specific to the theory of signification. And the main contributions produced in this field roughly in the last twenty years, starting with the publication of a key text for the the development of sociosemiotics, Gianfranco Marrone's "Corpi Sociali" (2001), to which a specific in-depth discussion will be dedicated.
