During the 1960s he taught at several Italian universities and wrote essays for the avant-garde magazine Il Verri . In the '70s he took a position as a professor at the University of Bologna and furthered his reputation with columns, essays and books such as A Theory of Semiotics (1976). In 1980 his first novel, The Name of the Rose , was published and was a surprise bestseller, vaulting Eco to international fame (a 1986 film version starred Sean Connery ). Since then he has continued teaching and writing, publishing non-fiction books such as Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language (1984) and popular novels such as Foucault's Pendulum (1988) and Baudolino Four Good Links Umberto Eco Simple, straightforward pages highlighting his career

47. From Internet To Gutemberg A lecture by umberto eco. http://www.hf.ntnu.no/anv/Finnbo/tekster/Eco/Internet.htm

From Internet to Gutenberg A lecture presented by Umberto Eco at The Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America November 12, 1996 According to Plato (in Phaedrus) when Hermes, the alleged inventor of writing, presented his invention to the Pharaoh Thamus, he praised his new technique that was supposed to allow human beings to remember what they would otherwise forget. But the Pharaoh was not so satisfied. "My skillful Theut, he said, memory is a great gift that ought to be kept alive by training it continuously. With your invention people will not be obliged any longer to train memory. They will remember things not because of an internal effort, but by mere virtue of an external device." We can understand the preoccupation of the Pharaoh. Writing, as any other new technological device, would have made torpid the human power which it substituted and reinforced - just as cars made us less able to walk. Writing was dangerous because it decreased the powers of mind by offering human beings a petrified soul, a caricature of mind, a mineral memory.

These features cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it. 1. The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the

It will be called The Last Night of Napoleon. Or Copericu’s Lover. Or perhaps The Fall of Oscar Wilde’s House. Or then again maybe The Soul of Animals Revisited. The nimble-thinking Italian novelist and professor of semiotics writes these alternatives on a small piece of paper he suddenly magics out of a pocket at the end of our lunch together at J. Sheekey, the fish restaurant in Covent Garden. The venue was my choice – a good one in terms of food and people-watching, but a disaster for an interview because of the deafening clatter-and-bray of fashionable lunching at small tables a few feet apart. Only our solo neighbour on the plush corner banquette is quiet: it is Michael Grade, executive chairman of ITV, waiting for his date. He tunes in to our conversation with an amused smile – and a glance of sympathy at me. He knows that deciphering my tape recording will be an ear-splitting experience.

54. Paul Gravett: Article - Hugo Pratt The famous author of The Name Of The Rose, umberto eco said it all When I Writing a tribute to his friend Pratt after his death, umberto eco recalled http://www.paulgravett.com/articles/056_pratt/056_pratt.htm

HUGO PRATT: THE CALL OF THE SEA The famous author of The Name Of The Rose , Umberto Eco said it all: "When I want to relax I read essays by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese ." Our first sighting of him is through the telescope of the pirate Rasputin. He spies Corto, tied spreadeagled and half-naked to a raft, left to the mercy of the Pacific ocean. Corto is rescued by the Russian rogue, whose crew have also picked up two teenage cousins lost at sea, Cain and Pandora Groovesnore. The Ballad Of The Salt Sea , serialized from 1967 in Italian magazine Sgt Kirk , relates their encounters in the South Seas with pirates, natives, and opposing navies around the time of the outbreak of the First World War. From then on, wherever, whenever, the globetrotting free spirit washes up, Corto Maltese is bound to become a part of history in the making. It seems Corto was born in 1887 in La Valletta in Malta, which gave him his name ( Frank Miller named a country after him in Dark Knight Returns as a tribute). The illegitimate son of a gypsy woman from Seville and a British sailor from Tintagel, his choice of a seafaring life was inevitable.

Main How we work: Umberto Eco, academic/author From The Name of the Rose "I completed a translation, using some of those large notebooks from the Papeterie Joseph Gibert in which it is so pleasant to write if you use a felt-tip pen." Eco has a converted church as his scriptorium. One floor has a computer, one has a typewriter, one in which he writes long-hand (so he write with whichever tool feels best today). - The source for this is currently mispaced. But the excellent ' A Conversation on Information ' interview with Patrick Coppock from 1995 has a lot on computers, notebooks, and so on: "As a writer I have discovered there are certain kinds of things for which I still need the pen, there are certain things for which I need the computer, certain things for which I need a felt-tipped pen. And the kind of instrument I am using is influencing my writing enormously." Q: "The material substance that you operate with". Yes, when I come to think about it, this kind of action...

You didn't know that Eco wrote the novel while holding down a day job as a university professor - following student theses, writing academic texts, attending any number of international conferences, and penning a column for Italy's weekly newsmagazine L'Espresso . Or that the portly 65-year-old semiotician is also a literary critic, a satirist, and a political pundit. Eco first rose to fame in Italy as a parodist in the early '60s. Like all the best satirists, he oscillates between exasperation at the depths of human dumbness, and the benign indulgence of a grandfather. Don't let that grandfatherly look fool you, though. Eco was taking apart striptease and TV anchormen back in the late '50s, before anyone had even heard of Roland Barthes, and way before taking modern culture seriously (deconstructing The Simpsons , psychoanalyzing Tintin) became everybody's favorite pomo sport. Then there's his idea that any text is created as much by the reader as by the author, a dogma that invaded the lit crit departments of American universities in the mid-'70s and that underlies thinking about text in cyberspace and who it belongs to. Eco, mind you, got his flag in first, with his 1962 manifesto
