Signature

Eliseo Verón (June 12, 1935 – April 15, 2014) was an Argentine

communication sciences at Universidad de San Andrés. His work is known mainly in Spanish and French
-speaking countries.

Academic career

He was born in Buenos Aires, where he studied at the

Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, where he discovered Saussurian semiotics, which became a point of departure for him in future work.[1]

Upon returning to Argentina, Verón became a professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1967 and 1968, he directed the Center for Social Research at the

Sorbonne
between 1987 and 1992.

In 1995 he returned to Argentina and directed the graduate program in communication sciences at the

Universidad Nacional de Rosario, the Universidad Nacional del Sur, the University of Fribourg and the University of San Andrés. Between 2000 and 2006, he directed the Master of Journalism program at the University of San Andrés, a joint project with the Clarín Group and Columbia University
.

Verón has published books on sociology, social psychology, communication and semiotics since 1968. His early period was influenced by the structuralism of Claude Lévi-Strauss and the binary theory of the sign of Ferdinand de Saussure, and then the triadic sign theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, on whom he relied to develop his theory of social semiosis in 1988.[3]

In 1974 he founded the journal LENGUAjes in Buenos Aires, along with Oscar Steinberg, Juan Carlos Indart, and Oscar Traversa. The publication of this journal was the effective introduction of semiotics in Argentina.

Between 1970 and 1978, Verón was president of the Argentine Association of Semiotics.

Political activity

In December 2010, Verón made a speech contributing to the launch of Eduardo Duhalde, who ran for president of Argentina in 2011.[4]

Death

Verón died of cancer on April 15, 2014, at his home in Buenos Aires.[5]
