The presentation for the conference was made in the project “The Live Human Exhibitions in the Territory of Latvia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries between Science, Entertainment and Homophobia” (No. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/516)
Risignificare l’autonomia nell’età contemporanea: spunti di riflessione dalla pedagogia di Romano Guardini
2022
Tra i principi fondanti la vita dell’uomo contemporaneo, come imperante emerge l’autonomia. Nata nella modernità come valorizzazione della soggettività, l’autonomia ha poi assunto un indefinito carattere di assolutizzazione, tendente a denaturare l’essenza più profonda dell’essere personale. Il presente scritto si propone di accogliere l’analisi che dell’autonomia – e della persona - propone il pensatore Romano Guardini, e da essa lasciar emergere i tratti costitutivi, nel tentativo di assumerli come direzioni di senso preziose per una attuale e necessaria risignificazione pedagogica dell’autonomia: un’autonomia rispettosa dell’essenza della persona, quindi capace di porsi in dialogo con l’…
Hans Bellmer, un artiste philosophe ou l'identité en question
2013
If the surrealist group has attracted the interest of philosophers, one can also note that some of these artists have attempted to develop their own philosophical reflection. This was the case of Hans Bellmer obsessed with the themes of desire, body and metamorphosis and, through that, with the games of identity and otherness. The anatomy of the image, one of Bellmer’s essential books, also shows the role of the artistic creation in the efforts to illuminate the “enigma of existence”.
Pluralismo religioso come nuovo umanesimo nell'età-postsecolare
2018
Overcoming the common distinction between religiosity and laicity, it is possible to find the condition for a development of a religious pluralism (as a kind of new humanism) in the interreligious dialogue, based on an epistemological turn of theology and on a hermeneutic approach to otherness.
Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe
2012
The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

Artificio e natura: alcune osservazioni sull "Aria del Tasso" di Giuseppe Tartini
2015
A penchant for folk music is recurrent in Giuseppe Tartini’s oeuvre. In particular, four movements from his violin sonatas are based on the well-known theme of the Arie del Tasso, which attracted the attention of Rousseau and Goethe during their stay in Venice. Central to his work as composer and theorist is the idea of closeness to nature ‒ far from the “bare” transcription of gondoliers’ songs in the way of a musicographer interested in ethnology. For Tartini, following the so-called “musica naturalis” of the ancient Greeks and the “music of the nations”, the term “popolare” is equivalent to simple, and simplicity is the main feature of nature. In his writings, the concept of nature frequ…
L'esilio della testimonianza in Paul Celan
2019
The essay identifies a profound link between poem and witness, both as a voice of life that is violently erased, and as an invocation of the You who saves. The poetic vocation to the witness makes its way in Celan in contrast with a lucid look at the dramatic restriction of vital horizons and with a growing inclination to suicide. But his poetic path remains until the end of his life a transformation of the way towards death from a way of cancellation to a way that goes back to life "on its own margin"
Il movimento dell'esistere tra comunicazione e riconoscimento
2021
The article develops some reflections on communication and intersubjective recognition. In particular, crossing the reflections of Mounier and Habermas, he dwells on the dialectic between identity and difference as a central dynamic of the anthropological structure. Communication is an element that pervades human existence; through it images of the world are constructed and practical modalities are activated. The human being experiences and understands reality through communicative interaction. It is an original act of existence, the means to build humanized societies through the grammar of recognizing the other
Il “corpo proprio” e il sentire in comune: Empfindung, Einfühlung, Mitgefühl. La dinamica del sentire e la questione dell’empatia fra Sulzer ed Herder
2022
The contribution aims to identify some theoretical lines that cross the German Enlightenment reflection from Leibniz and Wolff to Herder, focusing on the relationship between oneself and otherness, between the dimension of “one’s own body” and the theme of “feeling in common”. Thus, we propose to identify some of the flow lines along which reflection on empathy develops. Keywords: Empathy, German Enlightenment, Herder, Self and Otherness, Sulzer
