Gli schermi dell’apparire. Tecnologie, immaginazione, forme di vita fra semiotica e estetica
Appearance Screens. Technologies, Imagination, Forms of Life between Semiotics
and Aesthetics. This contribution introduces the research themes of the monographic
part of this issue of Versus, which concern the impact that digital technologies have on
contemporary life, especially on our cognitive ways and on our everyday habits. For this
purpose an innovative comparison between semiotics and aesthetics is proposed, through
the various contributions. In particular, the concept of imagination, the modifications to
which it is exposed, and the role of the arts in exploring them critically are investigated. In
addition, some of the most widespread online practices, the use of languages and forms
of life that encourage, between creativity and automatism, are also deepened.
