L'immagine di Murakami

The convergent community gathered around the web since the Nineteen-Nineties has generated and is still generating a crucial phaenomenon of intersemiosis whereby iconic language acquires prerogatives traditionally ascribed to verbal language and vice versa ; a process equal but opposite to that of Protestant iconophobia during the xvi and xvii century as described by Ellen Spolsky and resulting in the production of a distinctive « cognitive hunger ». At a high quality level, Murakami's work shows how today the narratives most and better involved in this phaenomenon of intersemiosis can develop and emerge in renewed forms. Such a process facilitates adaptations of a text from verbal to visual, and explains why, starting with Murakami, a lot of successful novelists have matured an experience in screenwriting.

Il realismo magico di Murakami si costruisce attraverso la permutazione semiotica delle immagini in costrutti verbali, dando luogo a fenomenologie intersemiotiche che fanno dello scrittore giapponese un esempio cruciale di global novel.
