Susan Petrilli Biography

Susan Petrilli is one of the most popular and richest Scientist who was born on November 3, 1954 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Susan Petrilli (born 3 November 1954 in Adelaide, South Australia) is an Italian semiotician and Professor of Philosophy and Theory of Languages at the University of Bari, Aldo Moro, Italy, and the seventh Thomas A. Sebeok Fellow of the Semiotic Society of America. She is also an International Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Psychology, the University of Adelaide, South Australia.

Her name was recognized as an influential modern semiotician in “Susan Petrilli,” entry by Paul Cobley (ed. ), The Routledge Companion to Semiotics, London, Routledge, 2010.

As noted by the late John Deely: ‘It is more than fitting that Susan Petrilli, who pioneered the development of semioethics within the major tradition of semiotics, is the one to whom Victoria Welby is indebted for being brought to the center stage of this major development’.

Petrilli devised, along with Augusto Ponzio, the theory of ‘semioethics’, located at the intersection of semiotics and ethics. This theory has been applied and reinterpreted in various scholarly fields, including law, medicine, language, communication, and architecture.

Petrilli is an eminent academic in semiotics. She is a major character in the recent acknowledgment of semioticians who believe of the fact that Victoria Lady Welby acted as the semiotics’ foremother along with Charles Peirce, its forefather. The book by Petrilli, Signifying and Understanding: Studying the Writings from Victoria Welby and the Signific Movement (2009) was a great book that highlighted the vital contribution of Welby on the subject of semiotics. her contribution to the theory of’significs’ and the impact her theory and publications had on modern semioticians like Peirce, Ogden and Vailati.

Ferruccio Rossi-Landi asked Petrilli to write about Victoria Welby, for the Walter Schmitz volume Essays in Significs (1990). Sebeok then asked her to look into the roles in the work of Women in Semiotics particularly Victoria Lady Welby. What began as an unintentional chapter on Welby was later transformed into a decade of archival research and an enormous book about Welby’s writings and publications specifically Signifying and Understanding and Understanding: The Works from Victoria Welby and the Signific Movement. To write the book Petrilli looked into Welby’s Welby archive at York University, Toronto, Canada and in the Lady Welby Library, University of London Library and the British Library in London, United Kingdom. The work of Welby’s epistolary was comprehensive, as she exchanged and tested her ideas with around 600 contemporary scholars and semioticians. Paul Cobley remarked: ‘Petrilli’s adventure (…) has brought the writer across Australia to Italy starting with an idea for a PhD thesis to the depths in archive research, then then towards a new future for culturally influenced, politically inflected semiotics’.

Petrilli was recognized as seventh Thomas A. Sebeok fellow from the Semiotic Society of America in 2008. The award is tri-annual and recognizes for outstanding research and contributions to the advancement of the concept of signs, for innovation in her research, and for contributing to the spread of semiotics across the globe. She was named a Fellow of the International Communicology Institute in 2008 and was ranked among one of the most prestigious scholars on an international level that have had the most influence and guided research in the discipline that is known as “communicology”.

Petrilli’s semioethics theory has been applied and discussed in over thirty five recently published essays and articles, including fifteen published in the American Journal of Semiotics since 2013, sixteen published in Semiotica since 2004, and others published in New Formations, Sign System Studies, Language and Dialogue, and in the legal field, notably in the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law, and the Cambridge International Law Journal, as it pertains to human rights and international law.
