Umberto Eco
Italian synthetic modernist whose work
underpins many of the theories about what is real (?), and what is original?
Consider this passage from Foucault's Pendulum:
"Gentlemen, I will now show you this text. Forgive me for using a photocopy. It's not
distrust. I don't want to subject the original to further wear."
"But Ingolf's copy wasn't the original," I said."The parchment was the original."
"Casubon, when originals no longer exist, the last copy is the original."
