«Los límites de la interpretación» is Umberto Eco's essay on semiotics, published by Debolsillo in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
Eco makes himself his object of analysis and, alongside Dante, Leopardi and Joyce, reviews the interpreters of his work to address semiotics: limits of interpretation, excess of interpretive energy, economy of reading and critique of deconstruction. He defends the balance between reader's and author's intention: not every reading is valid.
It belongs to the Debolsillo Essay | Literature collection. The translation is by Helena Lozano Miralles.
Aimed at readers of literary theory, philosophy and semiotics who want to delve into the limits of the interpretation of texts.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
