La prolífica producción de Umberto Eco es un escollo no menor al aproximarnos a su pensamiento. Semiótica, filosofía, lingüística, crítica, literatura, historia, participan de su descomunal obra . Eco fue capaz de vincular los conceptos filosóficos más crípticos con producciones de consumo masivo. Este libro aborda su pensamiento e impronta cultural enfatizando en sus aportes a los estudios semióticos para vincularlos con la discusión estética contemporánea. Cada capítulo propone una aproximación polifónica y expandida que va desde los conceptos cardinales de su pensamiento, provenientes especialmente de la semiótica, hasta sus exitosas aventuras literarias en el gran mercado, algo que consiguió sin ceder un ápice en su frenética búsqueda enciclopédica. Les presentamos, así , una breve relación de los ecos de Eco.
Umberto Eco's prolific output is no small stumbling block when approaching his thought. Semiotics, philosophy, linguistics, criticism, literature, and history are part of his extraordinary work. Eco was able to link the most cryptic philosophical concepts with mass consumption publications. This book explores his thought and cultural imprint emphasizing his contributions to the semiotic studies to link them with the contemporary aesthetic discussion. Each chapter proposes a polyphonic and expanded approach ranging from the cardinal concepts of his thought (especially from semiotics) to his successful literary adventures in the big market—something he achieved without compromising an inch in his relentless encyclopedic search. This is a brief account of Eco's echoes.
