Indagine identitaria del personaggio seriale. Verso una semiotica identitaria nella serialità

Abstract

The contemporary media landscape is more and more pervaded by serial narrations called character-based. This tendency can be traced back to the dawn of the modern seriality, finding in characters as Sherlock Holmes the main cornerstones of popular serial narration. In all of this, a problem remains open: how are these characters able to keep their own identity through time and through the media? The topic of this paper is to try to answer the question placing the name of the character at the center of the problem from which to start the investigation of a concentric stratification of signification, by irradiation of a semic gradually more marginal up to the boundaries of the narrative context.
