Fiction et vérité à l’ère de la post-vérité
L’objectif de cette contribution est de réfléchir au carré de la véridiction à la lumière des formes d’hybridation que présente le régime contemporain de post-vérité. Nous considérerons en particulier deux éléments qui n’ont pas été suffisamment discutés jusqu’à présent : la catégorie de non-pertinence et le rôle des codes culturels dans la définition des régimes de vérité. La proposition théorique suivante vise à intégrer ces éléments dans le ca…
The Boundaries of the Edible
This paper offers a reflection on entomophagy in European countries with a focus on Italy, exploring the dynamics of cultural negotiation that the inclusion of insect-based food requires. Indeed, this practice is still far from meeting the shared, common sense and, as such, generates pathemic reactions often marked by disgust. In response, companies producing insect-based food must deploy complex rhetorical strategies either to present their prod…
L’utilità del senso comune
gli uomini, perch coincide con la ragione stessa, tuttavia ad alcuni uomini capita di sbagliare e perdere la strada, e ognuno si perde a proprio modo ; per questo si deve vigilare affinch ciascuno proceda correttamente, e a questo serve il metodo
Le débat sur les catégories de genre
Le débat sur le politiquement correct est très intéressant du point de vue sémiotique et sémantique. Il met en évidence le problème des conditions de la révision du langage, des limites des initiatives subjectives et de la résistance des usages devenus des normes. A travers quelques considérations relatives aux formules langagières liées au genre sexuel (de la distinction du féminin à une formule neutre telle que le « schwa »), l’article présente…
Le tribunal d’Internet
Cette contribution vise à réfléchir sur certaines spécificités des modes de sanction sur les réseaux sociaux, transformés dans le régime actuel de post-vérité en véritables tribunaux de justice sommaire. En particulier, quatre aspects seront pris en considération : i) l’absence de dimension institutionnelle ; ii) le caractère ponctuel et improvisé sur le plan temporel ; iii) l’absence de logique probatoire sur le plan argumentatif ; iv) la caract…
Fake News as Discursive Genre
The aim of the article is to reflect on the communication model of fake news, starting from the assumption that fake news items are not mere falsehoods (e.g., trivial lies) nor something completely new.Drawing inspiration from the work of Umberto Eco, I will investigate the idea that today’s viral fake news can be aligned with the hermetic paradigm he outlined. Then I will consider another communicative model: that of gossip. Thanks to these two …
Perspectives on Post-Truth
This opening piece of the special issue ‘Perspectives on Post-Truth’ aims to accomplish three tasks. First, and foremost, it highlights the issue’s distinctive feature, namely its variegated approach to post-truth. The leading idea in assembling it has been to draw on different methodologies, theoretical approaches, and competences, in order to gain a fine-grained understanding of the post-truth condition and to develop an effective toolkit to ad…
For a semiotics of culture as a critique of culture
The text aims at investigating the vitality of Lotman's thought, focusing on its theoretical specificities (compared to other methodological approaches), on its recurring themes, but above all on its analytical, somehow “operational” utility. In particular, the authors reflect on the critical scope of Lotman's thought and on how the traditional unveiling vocation of semiotics finds in Lotman an adequate renewal for the problems posed by the conte…

Logique de l’information et sémiotique de la culture
Qu’est-ce que la post-vérité ? Qu’est-ce que les fake news ? S’agirait-il de simples pathologies de l’information ou plutôt d’un phénomène dévoilant une autre logique de la signification sociale ? En mettant à contribution les outils de la sémiotique de la culture (notamment les sémiotiques d’Umberto Eco et de Juri Lotman), le présent article entend analyser la façon dont s’est radicalement transformé le critère de la vérité des discours (leur « …

The good sense of Umberto Eco and the common sense of the Echian Encyclopaedia
The aim of my contribution is to analyse the role that common sense has played in Umberto Eco’s work. After making clear the distinction between good sense and common sense, and highlighting a number of differences with the Scottish philosophy of common sense, I will consider the uses and functions that common sense assumes in Eco’s philosophy: namely, a phenomenological function, a regulatory function and a communicative function. I will demonst…
Sur les tâches et les méthodes de l’entreprise sémiotique. (Autour et d’après le livre de J. Fontanille et N. Couégnas, Terres de sens)
Comment se porte la sémiotique maintenant qu’elle a 60 ans ? Est-elle encore une entreprise sensée ? A-t-elle encore une spécificité à revendiquer ? Ou devrions-nous reconnaître qu’elle est en crise et que sa liquidation au profit d’autres disciplines voisines est en cours ? Je crois que c’est une spécificité de notre discipline — discipline incertaine de son statut parmi les sciences humaines, et toujours un peu déçue par la faiblesse-timidité d…
Between Truth, Legitimacy, and Legality in the Post-truth Era
The post-truth regime is a regime in which certain central categories of modernity seem to be inadequate: that of truth as correspondence, that of truth as verification, and that of truth as sincerity. This reflection aims at proposing a shift from the category of truth to the category of legitimacy, in order to rethink (replace?) those of correctness, objectivity, adequacy. The advantage potentially offered by the concept of legitimacy, with reg…
Onlife Extremism
This article argues that one should consider online and offline radicalization in an integrated way. Occasionally, the design of some counter-measure initiatives treats the internet and the "real" world as two separate and independent realms. New information communication technologies (ICTs) allow extremists to fuse digital and physical settings. As a result, our research contends that radicalization takes place in onlife spaces: hybrid environme…
Entre tempos e espaços
Não obstante a teoria de Lotman tenha sido frequentemente apresentada como uma teoria semiótica baseada em categorias de espaço, as categorias temporais também se destacam em sua relevância. Se se pode pensar o poliglotismo como um dos principais mecanismos da cultura, também deveríamos considerar igualmente o policronismo. Na verdade, em cada momento da cultura encontramos muitos códigos temporais cujo diálogo interno não se baseia apenas em cód…
