In che cosa consiste far finta
Abstract
Fiction is first of all a pragmatico-semantic phenomenon, according to which in order to ascribe fictionality to something we must locate ourselves in a context different from a real one, so that that very something acquires a fictional meaning within this new context. Yet cognitively speaking fictionality is more than that. Fictionality involves the capacity of representing both the real world and an imaginary world, along with the metarepresentational capacity of representing to oneself that the first representation is different from the second representation.
