by Umberto Eco (Author)

Una colección de ensayos magistrales sobre la cultura de masas.

En estos ensayos magistrales, en los que analiza la estructura del mal gusto, la lectura de cómics, el mito de Superman, la canción de consumo, el papel de los medios audiovisuales como instrumento de información o el influjo de la televisión en el mundo actual, Umberto Eco se plantea el problema central de la doble postura ante la cultura de masas: la de los apocalípticos, que ven en ella el signo de una caída irrecuperable, y la de los integrados, que creen de forma optimista que estamos viviendo una magnífica generalización del marco cultural.

Publicados originalmente en 1964, estos textos «lúcidos, persuasivos e ingeniosos de un autor realmente particular, sustancial, brillante y muy divertido (Kirkus Reviews) componen un libro icónico y visionario que marcó nuestra época y que a día de hoy continúa siendo una obra de referencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An erudite and witty collection of Umberto Eco's essays on mass culture.

In these masterful essays, in which he analyzes mass culture's ugly tastes, the reading of comics, the myth of Superman, consumer's likes and dislikes, the role of mass media as an information tool, and television's influence in today's world, Umberto Eco raises the main problem with the two different viewpoints facing mass culture today: that of those with an apocalyptic view, who see it all as a sign of an irrevocable demise, and that of those with a more positive outlook, who optimistically believe that we are living the magnificent generalization of a cultural framework.

Originally published in 1964, these texts that are "lucid, persuasive, and artfully illustrated essays, by an author who is substantial, lucid, humane, and a great deal of fun" (Kirkus Reviews) make up an iconic and visionary book that marked our times and one that continues to be a work of reference in today's world.

Author Biography

La obra de Umberto Eco (1932-2016) ha sido fundamental para entender la historia del siglo XX y de nuestros días. Durante mucho tiempo se dedicó a la enseñanza en la universidad, y sus ensayos son textos de consulta obligada en las universidades de todo el mundo. Entre sus ensayos más importantes publicados en castellano figuran: Obra abierta, Apocalípticos e integrados, La estructura ausente, Tratado de semiótica general, Lector in fabula, Semiótica y filosofía del lenguaje, Los límites de la interpretación, Las poéticas de Joyce, Segundo diario mínimo, El superhombre de masas, Seis paseos por los bosques narrativos, Arte y belleza en la estética medieval, Sobre literatura, Historia de la belleza, Historia de la fealdad, A paso de cangrejo, Decir casi lo mismo, Confesiones de un joven novelista y Construir al enemigo.

Hace más de treinta años hizo su entrada triunfal en el mundo de la ficción con El nombre de la rosa, una novela que lo convirtió en un autor apreciado no solo por la crítica, sino también por el gran público. A este primer éxito siguieron El péndulo de Foucault, La isla del día de antes, Baudolino, La misteriosa llama de la reina Loana, El cementerio de Praga, Número Cero. Tras su muerte, el 19 de febrero de 2016, Lumen ha publicado sus libros inéditos De la estupidez a la locura -la obra póstuma que el autor había entregado a imprenta pocos días antes-, A hombros de gigantes y La memoria vegetal, y los ensayos contenidos en Contra el fascismo, Migración e intolerancia y Cómo viajar con un salmón.
