Subcultures creating culture
(2016)
The purpose of this work is to apply the methods of textual semiotics to subcultures, in particular to the little known glam subculture. Subcultures have been the main research field of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, known for its interdisciplinary approach, and for its focus on the creative aspects of subculture. Hebdige, in particular, introduced many semiotic elements in his work, as the aberrant decoding after Eco and the cultural creativity via bricolage after Lévi-Strauss. His definition of subculture as symbolic resistance has been criticized by the following post-subcultural researchers for its abstractness and lack of cohesion.
Semiotics eventually have been expelled from the set of tools used in sociology for the analysis of subcultures. Nowadays, the studies on subcultures have a strong ethnographic focus. Due to terminological proliferation and a descriptive approach, it is difficult to compare them on a common basis.
Textual semiotics, through the concept of semiosphere developed by Lotman, allows to go back to the intuitions of Hebdige, organizing the semiotic elements already present in his work into a wider system of interpretation. The semiosphere offers a coherent theoretical horizon as a basis for further analysis, and a new methodological perspective focusing on the cultural. In this thesis for the first time the work of Lotman is applied to the study of a subculture.
"Il Gattopardo" nella DDR
(2023)
Sulla base di materiale d'archivio inedito si ripercorre l'avvincente storia della prima edizione del Gattopardo nella DDR (1961). È qui analizzata la corsa ad ostacoli del romanzo tra congruenze ed eccezioni che assume i tratti di un giallo letterario. L'opera di un principe defunto scavalca il Muro grazie ad Alfred Kurella, potente funzionario della SED. Nella sua postfazione Il Gattopardo non è canto della decadenza, ma preannuncio di una nuova epoca, manifesto dello Stato in procinto di entrare nell'era socialista. La chiave di lettura è un unicum con una marcata impronta ideologica che ne determina prima la fortuna e poi l'isolamento. Al Gattopardo nella Germania Est Bernardina Rago dà per la prima volta voce.
