Book, Forms of content, As[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. The Forms of Content is a result of The Absent Structure, another title by Umberto Eco among the many translated by Perspectiva. In the previous book, the author touches on two themes that will now be treated in detail: the problem of meaning and the radical contradiction of the semiotic universe. Since meaning is the last frontier of all investigation into signs, the current title therefore faces the most difficult issue in contemporary studies linked to an attempt at a scientific approach to the universe of communication. The Italian writer does not hesitate to go beyond what already exists in obsolete and perishable in this type of approach, when he frankly states that his work seeks to recover the cultural reality that, massively, lies beneath the entire operation of signification. The conciliation or opposition between structural logic and dialectics, as well as the hypothesis of an unlimited semiosis, indicate the neuralgic points of the present text open to the most stimulating discussion
