Un model de lectură sincretică ilustrat în baza romanului Numele trandafirului de Umberto Eco

Abstract

The article proposes a new reading model illustrated on the novel The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. The model balances the research of intratextual instances with the study of extratextual ones. At the same time, individualized by the “syncretic” determinant, the model presupposes a three-dimensional approach, from the perspective of dialogism, intertextual theory and sociocriticism. The need to conceptualize a syncretic model of reading is conditioned by the characteristics of modern and postmodern texts. Starting from the dialogic principle and the idea of perspectivism, the syncretic model of reading aims to overcome the problem of inadequate, partial and rigid interpretations. The syncretic reading algorithm involves three stages: Pre-reading, Proper reading and Post-reading, each of which, in turn, requires a series of operations to be performed. The syncretic reading exercise based on The Name of the rose illustrates the applicability of the conceptualized model, the efficiency of the steps and operations to be performed.
