Noemi Magerand, « When Umberto Eco called himself Dedalus: the political and literary contribution of an intellectual under a pseudonym in "il manifesto" (1971-1975) », HAL-SHS : littérature, ID : 10670/1.2up6wo
The research focuses on Umberto Eco’s articles published in «il manifesto» between 1971 and 1975 under the pseudonym Dedalus. We intend to show how Eco put into practice in the newspaper’s columns his «semiological guerrilla», theorised in 1967: by writing political and custom satire and exploiting the critical power of comedy, he aimed at initiating readers into counter-information.
