Images of Europe
This book deals with the fundamental semantics of images of Europe, which consist of valences, mirror beliefs and affectivities. This is why it relaunches the importance of the European discourse in its symbolic dimension. As such, it explores the many images of Europe, or rather the many images through which European discourse is actually constituted in daily life, in search of their enunciative responsibility in today’s world for determining the current “State of the Union”. The identity of the European continent is based on a millenary tension between universalism and particularism: images of Europe have in fact been alternately inspired, over the centuries, by a model of homogeneit...
L'Isola che non c'è sulla Costa Smeralda o di un’u-topia capitalista
L’isola che non c’è avvicina la celebre meta vacanziera sarda della Costa Smeralda nel quadro di un’interrogazione più generale sul potere, nel tentativo di individuare uno spazio di contributo semiotico al progetto di descriverne le positività e incrementarne l’intelligibilità. Al centro della ricerca è la relazione fra spazio e soggettività, avvicinata a partire dall’analitica del potere inaugurata da Michel Foucault e dagli studi dedicati da Louis Marin all’utopia e al discorso utopico. Sulla scia dell’analisi etnosemiotica di Disneyland tracciata dallo stesso Marin, l’analisi rintraccia parallelamente nel neo-topos Costa Smeralda un ritratto del potere, la rappresentazione e auto-rappresentazione di un’élite economica che vede i propri valori sublimati in un mito edenico avulso dalla storia, e un dispositivo di governo dei corpi, suscettibile di normare rigidamente pratiche e condotte in virtù della sua stessa natura di “messa in scena”. Diagramma comune alle due valenze è l’organizzazione dello spazio, e i “posti del soggetto” che essa prevede, impone o esclude.
Displacing Caravaggio
This book takes its start from a series of attempts to use Caravaggio’s works for contemporary humanitarian communications. How did his Sleeping Cupid (1608) end up on the island of Lampedusa, at the heart of the Mediterranean migrant crisis? And why was his painting The Seven Works of Mercy (1607) requested for display at a number of humanitarian public events? After critical reflection on these significant transfers of Caravaggio’s work, Francesco Zucconi takes Baroque art as a point of departure to guide readers through some of the most haunting and compelling images of our time. Each chapter analyzes a different form of media and explores a problem that ties together art history and humanitarian communications: from Caravaggio’s attempt to represent life itself as a subject of painting to the way bodies and emotions are presented in NGO campaigns. What emerges from this probing inquiry at the intersection of art theory, media studies and political philosophy is an original critical path in humanitarian visual culture.

The Social Semiotics of Populism
The concept of 'populism' is currently used by scholars, the media and political actors to refer to multiple and disparate manifestations and phenomena from across both the left and the right ends of the political spectrum. As a result, it defies neat definition, as scholarship on the topic has shown over the last 50 years. In this book, Sebastián Moreno Barreneche approaches populism from a semiotic perspective and argues that it constitutes a specific social discourse grounded on a distinctive narrative structure that is brought to life by political actors that are labelled 'populist'. Conceiving of populism as a mode of semiotic production that is based on a conception of the social spac...
