The chapter offers an introduction to the semiotic approach to spaces of memory. After defining in what therms space is a language we focus on two key concepts: narrativity and enunciation. We believe that semiotics can offer a very useful ‘toolkit’ to analyze different kinds of spaces – from cities to monuments, from architecture to urban practices - approaching the various problems that these places open up with a transversal and unifying methodology, thus making fruitful comparisons possible. Semiotic tools can sharpen our analysis, deepen our intuitions in a more coherent and structured framework and allow us to compare different analytical approaches.

Abstract
The chapter offers an introduction to the semiotic approach to spaces of memory. After defining in what therms space is a language we focus on two key concepts: narrativity and enunciation. We believe that semiotics can offer a very useful ‘toolkit’ to analyze different kinds of spaces – from cities to monuments, from architecture to urban practices - approaching the various problems that these places open up with a transversal and unifying methodology, thus making fruitful comparisons possible. Semiotic tools can sharpen our analysis, deepen our intuitions in a more coherent and structured framework and allow us to compare different analytical approaches.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
