Apocalyptic and integrated at the time of the Internet. He raised a fuss in the last issue of Network Bag of Minerva, a historic section of Espresso Umberto Eco. Starting from our article, which tells how the genie of journalistic fraud, Tommaso Debenedetti - who became known already for fake interviews with Gore Vidal and Philip Roth -, had passed off as the author of the Cemetery of Prague and succeeded in making a post false letter Herald Tribune, Eco draws the lines of distinction between true and false in the digital age.
"Now the Internet - says the professor - has become anarchic territory where you can say anything without being able to be proven wrong. But - he added - it is difficult to determine whether an Internet rumor is true, it is more prudent to assume that it is false. " In support of this thesis, Eco lists a series of events that he partakes.
The case of Debenedetti, exactly, then a launch dell'Adnkronos that, drawing a profile of the caretaker of the island's famous Carlo Capponi, who died recently, recalls the satisfaction of their having collaborated with them in the semiologist: "The I turned the pages while signed autographs, "belies the fact that Eco.
So the article from a magazine online, reviewing a book, gives an introduction to Eco never existed, and finally another news agency that places the set of the Name of the Rose but not in Fiano Romano Rocca Calascio. On the Internet, you know, there are hoaxes. But, as also noted on his blog Luca Sofri, quoted by the news in its Eco Bag from sources of information (newspapers and agencies of paper) that the Internet has nothing to do, the online magazine cited also declares himself "the press", and any errors are difficult due to the publishing platform.
On the Internet, the words of Eco are greeted with a good dose of surprise. Also because it is to remember how, in his preface to Apocalyptic and Integrated, the professor pointed out that the volume had been struck, leaving in 1964 by the arrows of the apocalyptic. If the text sound academic rigor with various aspects of contemporary culture (from comic books to pop music), the newspapers talked about it with humorous titles, like "The cartoons enter the university as a challenging field of study." At that time, in short, was challenged the dignity of the comic itself as an object of study.
Today, somehow, the same treatment is applied to the Internet, even from Eco. Maybe it's a common destiny's up to bloggers even born "integrated" and die "apocalyptic."
