THE OPEN WORK AND INTERTEXTUAL ASPECTS IN THE NOVEL THE NAME OF THE ROSE OF UMBERTO ECO

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the work itself represents an analysis of the general principles of the theory of the open work in the interpretation of the novel The Name of the Rose written by Umberto Eco. The theory of the open work established by Umberto Eco has been a turning point when it comes to the comprehension of the non-linear process arising in the creative and interpretative perspectives of modern art, indicating the appearance of pluralism in the poetics of postmodernism, throughout the interactive process of the communication between the text and the reader. The principles of the open work are used in the novel The Name of the Rose by means of various intertextual aspects, representing, in a literary discourse, a synthesis of Eco’s studies of the culture of the Middle Ages complete with the semiotic analysis of the relationship of the sign to its meanings. Taking into consideration the foregoing attitudes, our emphasis is placed upon the openness of meanings, expressed in The Name of the Rose, which has been realised through the idea of the unity of diversity, by means of postmodernist procedure of a transformation of the subtext in a new semantic system, in which the basic dimensions are integrated: on the one hand, there is a quest for a solution to the crime committed in the Abbey, and on the other hand - there is a critical reconsideration of a general historical and spiritual context of the late Middle Ages, in the polyphony of the erudite - like, novelistic world.
