Interrogare il senso. Verso una semiotica critica

Today, Semiotics is a dynamic discipline, widespread in many countries and used for several high-level researches. However, methodologies and theories are not often challenged. Ugo Volli’s book collects his theoretical, political and contemporary work of last years. The book highlights the urgency for a theoretical and methodological redefinition for the discipline, aiming towards an “open” Semiotics.

The author offers a depth reflection on the limits of the current evaluation system of humanistic research and on the fragmentation of academic contributions. Through a cultural analysis of the meaning phenomena, Ugo Volli asks radical questions about the nature of meaning, rejecting the dogmatic approach and emphasizing the importance of the philosophical dimension in Semiotics.
