This work tries to give a sketch of the relation between Saussure and Barthes. First we approach stricto sensu scientific elements (namely, the relation between language and semiology, and the one which connects languages, institutions and society); then we focus on some only apparently “less scientific” elements, related to the consciousness of the scholar about himself as a speaking subject and a member of society, about other speakers/social beings, and finally about other scholars as sharing the same kind of consciousness. Barthes and Saussure seem equally permeated by a kind of socio-linguistic hypersensitivity – that allows them to “see” language – this taking the shape of a “little scientific drama” (to quote the words Barthes used to describe Saussure). This form of empathy seems to be the very core of the relation connecting these two fathers of semiology.
Il lavoro analizza brevemente il rapporto tra Saussure e Barthes, rivolgendosi dapprima alle componenti più propriamente scientifiche (per esempio il rapporto tra lingua e semiologia e la relazione tra lingue, istituzioni e socialità), per poi focalizzarsi su componenti solo apparentemente meno legate alla scienza, e relative alla coscienza che lo studioso ha di sé stesso come parlante e componente della società, degli altri parlanti / esseri sociali, e infine degli altri studiosi come pervasi dalla stessa forma di coscienza. In particolare, tanto Saussure quanto Barthes sembrano animati da una forma di ipersensibilità socio-linguistica – il “vedere” il linguaggio – che assume la forma di un “piccolo dramma scientifico” (così si esprime il semiologia nei confronti del linguista). In questa forma di empatia cartesiana per Saussure viene rintracciata la cifra della relazione tra questi due padri della semiologia.

Abstract
This work tries to give a sketch of the relation between Saussure and Barthes. First we approach stricto sensu scientific elements (namely, the relation between language and semiology, and the one which connects languages, institutions and society); then we focus on some only apparently “less scientific” elements, related to the consciousness of the scholar about himself as a speaking subject and a member of society, about other speakers/social beings, and finally about other scholars as sharing the same kind of consciousness. Barthes and Saussure seem equally permeated by a kind of socio-linguistic hypersensitivity – that allows them to “see” language – this taking the shape of a “little scientific drama” (to quote the words Barthes used to describe Saussure). This form of empathy seems to be the very core of the relation connecting these two fathers of semiology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
