La forza di un testo ben fatto. Analisi semiotica dello spot 'The Force' di Wolkswagen

Volkswagen The Force commercial, created by the advertising agency Deutsch Inc. for the 2011 Super Bowl, was a great success with both the public and critics. Its success is not only the result of a clever dissemination strategy, but also of its quality as an articulate and rich text, with different narrative levels. The story of the child trying to be Darth Vader is perfect for making everyone smile and feel tender, but The Force is also the story of the educational dynamics that occur between the two parents. The generative semiotic analysis of the text highlights the complexities of its narrative structure and its success as a well-made text.

Abstract

Volkswagen The Force commercial, created by the advertising agency Deutsch Inc. for the 2011 Super Bowl, was a great success with both the public and critics. Its success is not only the result of a clever dissemination strategy, but also of its quality as an articulate and rich text, with different narrative levels. The story of the child trying to be Darth Vader is perfect for making everyone smile and feel tender, but The Force is also the story of the educational dynamics that occur between the two parents. The generative semiotic analysis of the text highlights the complexities of its narrative structure and its success as a well-made text.
