Timeline
Augusto Ponzio (born 17 February 1942) is an Italian semiologist and philosopher.
Augusto Ponzio has authored the first monographs ever at a world level on each of Emmanuel Lévinas, Mikhail Bakhtin and Adam Schaff : respectively, La relation interpersonal, 1967, dedicated to Levinas, ''Michail Bachtin.
Augusto Ponzio has also contributed to Karl Marx studies in Italy and in 1975 published the Italian edition of his Mathematical Manuscripts.
Moreover, Ponzio has contributed significantly to the dissemination of Thomas Sebeok's work in Italy and of his global semiotics in particular.
Since 1980 is Full Professor of Philosophy of Language at Bari University, Italy and since 2015 is Professor Emeritus at the same university.
He has made a significant contribution as editor and translator to the dissemination of the ideas of Pietro Ispano, Mikhail Bakhtin, Emmanuel Lévinas, Karl Marx, Ferruccio Rossi-Landi, Adam Schaff and Thomas Albert Sebeok, in Italy and abroad.
Alle origini della semiotic sovietica, 1980, and Persona umana, linguaggio e conoscenza in Adam Schaff'', 1977.
Each of these monographs has been translated and reworked over the years and presented in new enlarged editions.
He has promoted the Italian translation of numerous works by Mikhail Bakhtin and members of the Bakhtin Circle, including Valentin N. Voloshinov and Pavel N. Medvedev, but also the biologist I. I. Kanaev.
From 1981 to 1999 Ponzio directed the Institute of Philosophy of Language, which he founded at the Faculty of Foreign Literature and Languages, in 1981.
He directs the Doctoral Program in Language Theory and Sign Sciences, which he inaugurated in 1988.
With Claude Gandelman (University of Haifa), in 1989 he founded the annual book series ''Athanor.
Arte, Letteratura, Semiotica, Filosofia'' of which now he directs the new series inaugurated with Meltemi publishers in Rome, in 1998.
Athanor: this Arabic word evokes The Alchemist in the laboratory mixing and transforming the elements.
"from these authors I have developed what they share in spite of their differences, that is, the idea that the life of the human individual in his/her concrete singularity, whatever the object of study, and however specialized the analysis, cannot prescind from involvement without alibis in the destiny of others."
His principal research areas include philosophy of language, general linguistics, semiotics, and theory of literature.
The expression "philosophy of language" conveys the scope and orientation of his research as he addresses problems of semiotics from the perspective of philosophy of language, updated with references to the latest developments in the sign sciences, from linguistics to biosemiotics.
As such his approach may be more properly described as pertaining to general semiotics.
Nonetheless, Ponzio practices general semiotics in terms of critique and the search for foundations, which derives from his work in philosophy of language.
As critique of semiotics Ponzio's general semiotics overcomes the delusory separation between the humanities, on the one hand, and the logico-mathematical and the natural sciences, on the other.
His semiotic research relates to different disciplines proposing an approach that is transversal and interdisciplinary, or better, as he prefers to say, an approach that is ‘undisciplined’.
Moreover, general semiotics as conceived by Ponzio against such a background continues its philosophical search for sense.
This perspective evidences the interconnectedness of the sciences.
And most significantly the problem of their sense for the human being is also addressed.
The following texts are in Italian, unless otherwise specified.
From 1999 to 2005 he acted as Head of the Department of Linguistic Practices and Text Analysis, which he founded in 1999.
He has promoted the Italian translation of most of his books and has authored two monographs dedicated to his thought: Sebeok and the Signs of Life, published in 2001, and ''I segni e la vita.
La semiotic globale'' di Thomas A. Sebeok, 2002.
Among Italian scholars Ponzio has focused particularly on the work of his master Giuseppe Semerari, on the semiotician Ferruccio Rossi-Landi and philosopher of language Giovanni Vailati.
At Bari University Ponzio has been teaching:
