Legal texts and working practices. For a semiotics of organizations

Abstract

The paper aims to present a research on the texts and practices that participate in the construction of meaning in the framework of everyday life, caught in its making within the – as complex, as discussed – bureaucratic organization par excellence: the public administration. The final aim of the study is the development of a semiotic analysis methodology, of a possible route (Marsciani 2007), to be tested in the framework of these complex work environments.
