The main goal of this contribution is to investigate the way in which a figure of memory, the image of a person linked to an event of the past, symbolically travels in a specific culture. Investigating the role of recognition and repetition, I will reframe the modality of remembering the traumatic past through remediation. In particular, the analysis of an emblematic example from the contemporary Italian semiosphere, Benito Mussolini, allows me to focus on the creation of a common heritage of knowledge that is synthesized in a single person, culturally defined as a synecdoche of specific beliefs and values.

Abstract
The main goal of this contribution is to investigate the way in which a figure of memory, the image of a person linked to an event of the past, symbolically travels in a specific culture. Investigating the role of recognition and repetition, I will reframe the modality of remembering the traumatic past through remediation. In particular, the analysis of an emblematic example from the contemporary Italian semiosphere, Benito Mussolini, allows me to focus on the creation of a common heritage of knowledge that is synthesized in a single person, culturally defined as a synecdoche of specific beliefs and values.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
