Emergenza Esplosione, veridizione, normalizzazione

ABSTRACT

Emergency has two areas of meaning the one derived from the Anglism emergency, the other that includes all meanings connectable to what emerges. COVID19 emergency is exemplary of both areas. A semiotics of emergence observes the process of explosion, veridification and normalization of phenomena that burst into cultural systems. The analysis of social discourses on the pandemic has provided elements to identify semantic oppositions, through which we have outlined a system of meaning relations. © 2022 The Author.
