A Conversation on Information An interview with Umberto Eco, by Patrick Coppock, February, 1995. A chain-smoking and jovial Umberto Eco receives me in his crowded, untidy but cheerful little office at the Institute for Communication Studies at the University of Bologna. A bay-window opens out onto a tiny balcony overlooking the garden of the villa where the institute has its offices and library. The walls of the office are covered with rows of well-filled bookshelves; a sofa along one wall is full of piles of papers, books and articles, a modest writing desk hidden under even more books and papers. In one corner of the room is an IBM 486 clone with Windows, a new article or book obviously in progress on the screen. Eco offers me a chair in front of his desk. In advance I had given him a list of some possible issues we might discuss so he would have some idea of what was on my mind: Computer technology, the Internet community and processes of cultural change. I begin by asking: "Professor Eco, you're a man of letters, a writer, philosopher, a historian. On the desk beside you is a computer. Is modern computer technology actually functional for you as an author and literary researcher?" Eco glances over at the computer, smiles, then nods thoughtfully:

Z UMBERTO ECO Categories: Historical (Italy Middle Ages) Whodunit Religious Links Questa pagina in italiano Porta Ludovica: An Umberto Eco Web Site Born in Alessandria in Italy, Umberto Eco is one of the most aphomeciated modern Italian writers, both at home as well as abroad. Son of a family with thirteen children, he obtained a doctorate in philosophy in 1954 and subsequently took a post as editor for cultural programs at the Italian state TV. His first book, on St. Thomas Aquinas, was published two years after his doctorate and was followed by a second, two years later that made him into one of the main medievalist thinkers of the country. Despite losing his job, he continued lecturing and in 1959 became the nonfiction senior editor of the Italian publishers Bompiani (post he kept until 1975). That same year he strated writing a column for Il Verri , a magazine centered on modernist ideas and linguistics. This gave him the possibility also to write articles for the major national newspapers. During these years he began developing his ideas on semiotics and published three more books on the subject. After being professor of semiotics at Milan Polytechnic, his career as semiotician had begun and moved quickly as he became the first professor on this subject at Bologna, Italy's oldest university. More publications followed but a turning point was over the horizon:

Jan. 5, 1932, Alessandria, Italy Life and Works: Italian literary critic, novelist, and semiotician (student of signs and symbols). Born in Alessandria in Italy, Umberto Eco is one of the most aphomeciated modern Italian writers, both at home as well as abroad. Son of a family with thirteen children, and urged by his father to become a lawyer, he entered the University of Turin. But, as what seems to be the fate of many great writers, he abandoned his studies of law; and against his father's wishes he took up medieval philosophy and literature, writing his thesis on Thomas Aquinas and earning his doctorate of philosophy in 1954. After this, Eco worked as a cultural editor for Italian Radio-Television and also lectured at the University of Turin (1956-64). In 1956, he published his first book, which was naturally an extension of his thesis: Il problema estetico in San Tommaso In 1959 he both published his second work and lost his job at the RAI. The book, Sviluppo dell'estetico medievale , was significant in that not only did it establish Eco as one of the foremost thinkers in medievalism, but it finally convinced his father that he had indeed made the right career decision. The loss of his position was assuaged by his increasing demand as a lecturer and as a teacher, and in 1959 he became the nonfiction senior editor of Casa Editrice Bompiani, Milan; a position he would hold until 1975.

27. Umberto Eco's Piece On Mac And DOS, Catholic And Protestant A brief bit of wit from eco himself on personal computing operating systems, and the religious divide betwixt the two main churches. http://www.simongrant.org/web/eco.html

Umberto Eco's piece on Mac and DOS, Catholic and Protestant The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counterreformist and has been influenced by the "ratio studiorum" of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, friendly, conciliatory, it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reach - if not the Kingdom of Heaven - the moment in which their document is printed. It is catechistic: the essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a right to salvation. DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea that not all can reach salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: a long way from the baroque community of revelers, the user is closed within the loneliness of his own inner torment. You may object that, with the passage to Windows, the DOS universe has come to resemble more closely the counterreformist tolerance of the Macintosh. It's true: Windows represents an Anglican-style schism, big ceremonies in the cathedral, but there is always the possibility of a return to DOS to change things in accordance with bizarre decisions.....

Media populism means appealing to people directly through media. A politician who can master the media can shape political affairs outside of parliament and even eliminate the mediation of parliament. Skip to next paragraph Christian Oth Much of your book is an assault on Silvio Berlusconi , the former prime minister of Italy who used his media empire to assist his political ends.

SEND YOUR FEEDBACK Vox Populi Umberto Eco’s new book explores the merits of mass entertainment By Andre Mayer June 27, 2005 Author Umberto Eco. Photo Guido Harari/Contrasto/Redux. Courtesy Raincoast Books. The only thing more remarkable than the intellect and scholarly detail Umberto Eco marshals into his hulking novels is the fact that they sell so well. The Name of the Rose For many, the Italian author’s appeal lies in the fact that for all their sophistication, books like The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendulum are, at heart, old-fashioned mysteries. And who doesn’t love a page-turner? Eco’s books have always been a mix of high- and low-brow escapades, but none makes such a compelling case for the legitimacy of popular culture as his latest, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana Immersing himself in the adventures of Flash Gordon, the Phantom and Mandrake the Magician, Yambo recovers personal memories, as well as a broader picture of Italy in the clutches of Mussolini’s fascism. Part historical reverie, part celebration of mass entertainment, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana challenges the idea that pop culture is by nature ephemeral.

Autos November 6, 2007, 11:43 am Umberto Eco, Not a Cellphone Exhibitionist By Dwight Garner Umberto Eco (Steve Hart for The New York Times) silence the cell phones of annoying users. (Sign me up, please.) Turning Back the Clock: Hot Wars and Media Populism The imbecile who sits beside us on the train doing financial deals at the top of his voice is in reality strutting around like a peacock with a crown of feathers and a multicolored ring around his penis. A multicolored ring around his penis? Now there’s the kind of imagery you just don’t get from your average American newspaper columnist. Eco continued, as millions of readers – well, this one, anyway – cheered him on: The thousands of people we overhear on the streets, in restaurants, or on the train, as they discuss their most private affairs on their cell phones are not prompted by the urgent need to communicate something of importance, otherwise they would talk in low voices, guarding their secrets. Rather, they want everyone to know that they are decision makers in a refrigerator manufacturing company, that they buy and sell on the stock exchange, that they organize conferences, or that their partner has left them. They have paid for a cell phone and the hefty bills that come with it, to flaunt their private lives in the presence of all. It is precisely the behavior of exhibitionists that tells us how much the assault on privacy has become – more than a crime – a social cancer. First and foremost, we should educate children to save them from the corrupting influence of their parents.

Opinion iht.com Business Culture ... Search Outlandish theories: Kings of the (hollow) world Annals of outlandish theories Umberto Eco Published: FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2006 MILAN: The second theory has it that while we think we live on the outer crust, we actually live in the interior (on a convex surface instead of a concave one). One of the first Hollow Earth theories was proposed in 1692 by English astronomer Edmund Halley (he who discovered the comet), who suggested that the Earth was composed of four spheres, each embedded in the other like so many matrioshka dolls, illuminated by a luminous atmosphere and perhaps inhabitable. Symmes believed that at the North and South Poles there were two apertures that led to the interior of the globe. He attempted to raise funds for an exploration of the polar regions to locate these entrances. The Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences still has a wooden model he used to explain his theories. The Today in Opinion Primary choices: Hillary Clinton Primary choices: John McCain idea was later championed by Jeremiah Reynolds, a newspaper editor, who took it upon himself to promote the expedition at the expense of the American government (a request ultimately denied). The journey was unsuccessful, since he and his party were thwarted by Antarctic ice. At the end of the century the theory was revisited by cult leader Cyrus Reed Teed, who said that what we believe is the sky is a gaseous mass that fills the interior of the globe with areas of bright light (sun, moon and stars would not be heavenly bodies but visual effects).
