The Limits of Interpretation (Advances in Semiotics),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Library JournalPrimarily for specialists, this book by the bestselling author of In the Name of the Rose (who practiced semiotics long before fiction) is also largely theoretical, even though bolstered by illustrations and demonstrations that focus on aspects of Joyce, Pirandello, Borges, and Pliny the Younger. The theoretical portions discuss the theories of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Augustine as well as modern thinkers such as Derrida; this unusual blend of references, along with a playfully academic humor, is characteristic of Eco. He argues that, while there may be no rules for determining which interpretations of a text are best, there are rules for determining which are bad. These 15 essays, written mostly in the past five years, deal with fakes and forgeries, serials, dramas, animals, and some fairly abstruse semiotic topics. They are all profitably accessible to the sophisticated general reader, though Eco's penchant for analyzing things into 'subsystems and subsystems of subsystems' can lead to long, drawn out passages. Richard Kuczkowski, Do minican Coll., Blauvelt, N.Y.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.Product DescriptionIn this new collection of essays, Eco focuses on what he calls the limits of interpretation, or, as he once noted in another context, ''the cancer of uncontrolled interpretation''. Readers of Eco's other work will find here all the ingredients with which they have become familiarvast learning, an agile and exciting mind, good humor and a brilliance of insight.
