About this listen
Una introducción a la semiótica de la mano de su mayor experto: Umberto Eco
Después de Obra abierta, en la que estudiaba los lenguajes experimentales del arte contemporáneo, y de Apocalípticos e integrados, donde abordaba las técnicas y los temas de la comunicación de masas, Umberto Eco analiza aquí las fronteras de la semiótica. Comprender los sistemas de signos obliga a ver los códigos como estructuras y explicarlas a través de otras estructuras más vastas, en un movimiento regresivo hacia la matriz originaria de toda comunicación, hasta llegar a una estructura no estructurada. La conclusión metafísica de esta búsqueda no puede ser más que el rechazo del código de códigos: la negación de la estructura ausente.
Coordinando todas sus investigaciones precedentes, Umberto Eco vuelve a asentar las bases de la semiótica y propone un verdadero sistema de la cultura como comunicación.
La crítica ha dicho...
«La figura de Umberto Eco es tanto mayor cuanto más tiempo pasa.»
Vicente Verdú, El País

Story
En el verano de 1963 un náufrago, Roberto de la Grive, llega a una nave abandonada en los Mares del Sur donde encuentra sólo animales desconocidos y máquinas extrañas. Frente a la nave hay una isla de ensueño, tan cercana como inalcanzable. Confinado en este exiguo espacio y perdido en el vasto mar, Roberto nos pone al corriente sobre su pasado a través de las cartas que escribe a una enigmática «Señora». Pero Roberto ha viajado hasta allí con una misión muy concreta: resolver el misterio por el cual pugnan las nuevas potencias de la época, el secreto del Punto Fijo.

Una colección de ensayos magistrales sobre la cultura de masas.
En estos ensayos magistrales, en los que analiza la estructura del mal gusto, la lectura de cómics, el mito de Superman, la canción de consumo, el papel de los medios audiovisuales como instrumento de información o el influjo de la televisión en el mundo actual, Umberto Eco se plantea el problema central de la doble postura ante la cultura de masas: la de los apocalípticos, que ven en ella el signo de una caída irrecuperable.

Story
París, 1897. Un hombre escribe sentado a una mesa en una habitación abarrotada de muebles: he aquí al capitán Simonini, un piamontés afincado en la capital francesa, que desde muy joven se dedica al noble arte de crear documentos falsos.
Hombre de pocas palabras, misógino y glotón impenitente, el capitán se inspira en los folletines de Dumas y Sue para dar fe de complots inexistentes, fomentar intrigas o difamar a las grandes figuras de la política europea. Caballero sin escrúpulos, Simonini trabaja al servicio del mejor postor.

Las narraciones crean lazos. De ellas nace lo que nos conecta y vincula. De este modo, fundan comunidades y nos salvan de la contingencia. Sin embargo, hoy, cuando todo se ha vuelto arbitrario y azaroso, el storytelling se ha convertido en un arma comercial que transforma la narración en una herramienta más del capitalismo, propagándose en medio de la desorientación y la falta de sentido característicos de la sociedad de la información. Narración e información son fuerzas opuestas.

Schopenhauer escribió El arte de tener razón (o Dialéctica erística) para sistematizar «las astucias, ardides y bajezas» que empleamos cuando discutimos con la única finalidad de hacer prevalecer nuestras ideas. En la época en que Hegel señalaba la dialéctica como el único camino para alcanzar la culminación del Espíritu, Schopenhauer, su irreductible antagonista, la entendía como el florete a blandir en el particular combate de esgrima que es cualquier discusión.

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

Estamos perdiendo nuestra capacidad de no hacer nada. Nuestra existencia está completamente absorbida por la actividad y, por lo tanto, completamente explotada. Dado que solo percibimos la vida en términos de rendimiento, tendemos a entender la inactividad como un déficit, una negación o una mera ausencia de actividad cuando se trata, muy al contrario, de una interesante capacidad independiente.
