‘bien entendu’ vs ‘naturellement’: deux façons de désubjectiviser le dire
2011
Our study focuses on how the discourse markers (DM) participate in the construction of discursive alterity. In our approach, the DM builds, for an assertion, a guarantor with its own semantics, which is the semantics of the lexical element constituting the basis of DM. Naturellement and bien entendu build referential value which ”disempowers” the speaker as a guarantor of his words. This desubjectivation is realized differently in each case analyzed, and is determined by the semantic identity of the DM. In this article we analyze how the DM build modulated commitment of the speaker in his role as the guarantor, convened by the semantics of the DM in the ”disresponsibilization” of the speake…
Learning teamwork through a computer game: for the sake of performance or collaborative learning?
2021
AbstractOur study examined using a computer-based learning game as a tool to facilitate teaching and learning teamwork skills. The game was applied to an undergraduate level human resource management course at a business school in Finland. We focused on students’ experiences and key learning outcomes of collaborative learning of teamwork skills through the game, and our analysis highlighted two key features of learning outcomes. First, the computer-based learning game promoted students’ self-reflection and evaluation of their individual team roles. Second, although the game taught students the importance of continuous information sharing in teamwork, their evaluation of team outcomes was pe…

Discourse Matters : Localness as a Source of Authenticity in Craft Businesses in Peripheral Minority Language Sites
2015
Localness’ has gained currency as a source of authenticity and distinction in the niche marketing of the globalised new economy. This has created opportunities for peripheral minority language sites to capitalise on their geographically and culturally peripheral location, and has lifted tourism and handicraft industries to key sites of socio-economic development in these regions. Although ‘localness’ may seem like a ready source of economic gain in cultural production in such sites, it does not come without consequences for the cultural entrepreneurs. This paper explores what is at stake for cultural entrepreneurs in the promotion of localness as a source of authenticity. The study focuses …
Il mito della vera storia. Giuliano secondo Ignazio Buttitta
2020
Il mito del bandito Giuliano – esito e simbolo di una cultura mafiosa e di una prassi politica a essa funzionale – trae le sue origini, dunque, non tanto da una persona empirica o da un contesto economico concreto, quanto da quella che i pubblicitari chiamerebbero un’immagine o, se si vuole, da quella che i teorici della letteratura chiamerebbero una variabile intertestuale. In un modo come nell’altro è dunque al racconto di Giuliano che occorre guardare, per spiegare e comprendere con un unico sguardo teorico il senso storico del personaggio e l’enorme potenza fabulatrice che da esso è scaturita. The myth of the bandit Giuliano – the outcome and symbol of a mafia culture and of a political…
Le nature del trucco. Forme e sostanze del make-up green
2022
The paper examines the semiotic articulation of naturality through a structural analysis of green make-up packaging. The relations this universe establishes with its opposite, that of “traditional” make-up, find manifestation in the way the three visual strategies implemented by make-up brands and identified through the analysis enhance continuity or discontinuity with respect to this figurative universe. An attempt will be made to show the complex discursive construction of nature through often heteroclite discourses within which differentiated isotopes can be found. Still, besides being brand choices that differentially articulate the theme of nature from an aesthetic point of view, each …

Semiotica marcata: frammenti di un manifesto
2021
Da un primo calcolo approssimativo, incrociando gli scritti raccolti nella biblioteca personale con gli elenchi presenti nel suo sito, le bibliografi e qui e là, le informazioni sparse del web, le indicazioni di amici e colleghi nonché le memorie personali, il numero degli scritti di Paolo Fabbri – fra libri, saggi, articoli, introduzioni, postfazioni, curatele, interviste e traduzioni – su pera i 500 titoli. E, portando avanti l’esplorazione, tale numero è sicuramente destinato ad aumentare. Per un presunto abbas agraphicus non c’è male: immagine romanzata di un intellettua le che tocca forse rivedere, non tanto per ragioni di quantità ma per la profondità di pensiero e la forza retorica d…
Quotidianità e virus: un diario semiotico
2021
Beyond health issues, we know that the pandemic has changed our daily lives. Accelerating socio-cultural trends that were already present in our contemporaneity, such as functionalism, the control of bodies, the fear of others, forced hygiene, the reduction of essential freedoms, work from home ... The semiologist, constantly on the hunt of signals and symbols to be interpreted, he thus tried to intercept some of these modulations of daily life, with a kind of diary in public, sprinkled with various insights proposed to readers of various kinds. The following text is a partial collection of these notes, which, read now, may perhaps change their meaning, and interest those who, out of desper…
