Between Signs and Non-signs
The Italian philosopher F. Rossi-Landi (1921-1985) conducted pioneering work in the philosophy of language. His research is characterised by a critique of language and ideology in relation to sign production processes and the process of social reproduction. Between Signs and Non-Signs is a collection of 14 articles by Rossi-Landi written between 1952 and 1984 and gives an overview of his contribution to the philosophy of language and his critique of Charles Morris, Wittgenstein, Bachtin, and his Italian contemporaries. It is in fact a project initiated by the author and now posthumously completed by the editor, with a complete bibliography of Rossi-Landi's extensive work. Susan Petrilli's Introduction gives a fresh view of the importance of Rossi-Landi's work to modern critical theory.

Marxism and Ideology
Ferruccio Rossi-Landi was one of Italy's foremost Marxist theorists. In Marxism and Ideology, which represents the culmination of his life's work, he goes further than any writer to illuminate the complex issues raised by the concept of `ideology'. Through its penetrating analysis of the intimate relationship between language, consciousness, and power, his treatise not only offers a valuable review of the history of the notion of ideology and the debate surrounding it, but represents an original and comprehensive revision of the classicMarxist theory of ideology. While retaining the conceptual framework of historical materialism, the author takes on board three major developments in post-war human sciences: the recognition of Marxism's shortcomings as a predictive and strictly empirical system of thought, the relativism whichhas invaded every academic discipline, and the emergence of semiology and linguistics as major fields of enquiry. In the hands of Rossi-Landi, Marxism becomes both a finely-tuned analytical tool for investigating ideology and a fully fledged ideology in its own right.
