“Persona” è un concetto chiave nella cultura occidentale. La ricca sedimentazione di significati che si è verificata nel corso dei secoli guadagna ulteriore spessore nel confronto con altre idee fondamentali come “soggettività”, “identità”, “relazione”. Questa raccolta di saggi esplora il concetto di persona attraverso diverse discipline, come la semiotica, la filosofia, l’antropologia, la pedagogia, la storia delle religioni. A un primo nucleo di contributi in cui prevale la riflessione teorica (con saggi di Ugo Volli, Carlo Capello, Emanuele Fadda, Sara Nosari), segue una seconda parte dedicata all’interpretazione delle idee di grandi pensatori, tra cui Paolo di Tarso, Karol Wojtyła e Gaspard Koenig, con saggi di Stefano Traini, Francesco Galofaro e Gianmarco Giuliana. Infine, la terza parte si concentra sull’analisi di casi pratici, dai videogiochi agli “spettri digitali” lasciati dalle persone dopo la loro morte, dalle app per interagire con Babbo Natale al fenomeno della persona collettiva nello star system, fino alla codifica dello status di personaggi religiosi, in particolare la Vergine, nelle testimonianze delle apparizioni (con saggi di Marco Papasidero, Davide Sisto, Alessandro Agnese, Eleonora Chiais).

Hitherto, there has been no book that attempted to sum up the breadth of Umberto Eco’s work and it importance for the study of semiotics, communication and cognition. There have been anthologies and overviews of Eco’s work within Eco Studies; sometimes, works in semiotics have used aspects of Eco’s work. Yet, thus far, there has been no overview of the work of Eco in the breadth of semiotics. This volume is a contribution to both semiotics and Eco studies. The 40 scholars who participate in the volume come from a variety of disciplines but have all chosen to work with a favorite "ation from Eco that they find particularly illustrative of the issues that his work raises. Some of the scholars have worked exegetically placing the "ation within a tradition, others have determined the (epistemic) value of the "ation and offered a critique, while still others have seen the "ation as a starting point for conceptual developments within a field of application. However, each article within this volume points toward the relevance of Eco -- for contemporary studies concerning semiotics, communication and cognition.
