Beschreibung:
The quarrel of the young classics and the old moderns. What are the literary elements of the contemporary crisis of literary theory in Italy, hastily dubbed either that of ideology, or of French theory ? Thematically, the crisis continues specificities of Italian literary studies ; chronologically, it has been declared by a semiotic old guard, while an institutionalised but unorganised young guard wants to write about reading. Goes unnoticed Orlando's intellectual construction.
