The Politics of Utopia: Walter Pater’s “Lacedaemon”

2016

Walter Pater is not usually considered as a politically committed writer, neither is Aestheticism of which he was the gifted theoretician with The Renaissance (1873). Although the political commitments of the Aesthetic movement have been questioned over the last two decades, both by including women aesthetes, and by re-evaluating the movement’s dissemination among the middle classes, discussion of Pater’s political ideas is almost non-existent. His Plato and Platonism (1893) is however not so remote from politics since it discusses Plato’s political philosophy. In particular, “Lacedaemon”, the chapter devoted to Sparta, enables Pater to intervene in the political debate from an original sta…

Muutos tilassa : taideteoksen autenttisuuden ja auran merkitykset installaatiotaiteen esittämisen ja tallentamisen prosesseissa

2015

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastellaan taideteoksen autenttisuuden ja auran nykymerkityksiä installaatiotaiteen näkökulmasta. Keskeisenä tavoitteena on selvittää, mistä kontekstisidonnaisen ja prosessuaalisen installaatioteoksen autenttisuus muodostuu, ja millä tavoin tätä autenttisuutta pyritään taidemuseoissa teoksen esittämisen ja tallentamisen prosesseissa ylläpitämään. Lisäksi tutkielmassa avataan taiteilijan intention ja tekijyyden käsitteitä. Tutkielmassa vuoropuhelua käyvät taidefilosofinen käsiteanalyysi ja taidemuseoiden toimintatapoja kartoittava haastatteluaineisto. Taiteen autenttisuuden nykymerkityksiä peilataan erityisesti Denis Duttonin autenttisuuden teoriaa ja Walter …

Walter Benjamin, taiteen toinen tekniikka ja avantgarden kulttuuripolitiikka

2018

This article provides a fresh look into Walter Benjamin’s famous essay, “Artwork in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” (1936). Following Benjamin scholar Esther Leslie, we claim that Benjamin’s lesser-known concept of “second technique” is integral for understanding both the meaning of essay as well as mapping the political and artistic aims of the 1920’s avant-garde movements in general. The article is structured around two cases of avant-garde, both of which are central already for Benjamin, but remain somewhat under-theorized in connection to Benjamin. These are the Soviet constructivist film and the idea of glass construction in Weimar-era German architecture.

A Lost Opportunity to Parliamentarize The European Commission : Bagehot, Weber and a Debate in 1960

2022

The article emphasizes the significance of EU studies for political thought and concepts. It deals with the seemingly technical topic of the membership of cabinet ministers in parliament. This practice arose in eighteenth-century Westminster and has been discussed since the mid-nineteenth century, Walter Bagehot's and Max Weber's writings being landmarks. When the European Parliamentary Assembly in 1960 interpreted the Treaty of Rome, it took the view, by a narrow margin, that membership of the Parliament was incompatible with membership of the Commission. The debate on the compatibility of dual membership could have been a way to promote the parliamentarization of the EU. peerReviewed

Un viaje de ida y vuelta al otro mundo. El Cabaret del Diavolo de Gino Gori y Fortunato Depero en Roma (1922-1925)

2023

The Roman cabarets linked to Futurism were meeting places where the programme of the manifesto Ricostruzione futurista dell’universo was applied. Following the experiences of Bragaglia and Marchi at the Circolo delle Cronache d’Attualità and the setting by Giacomo Balla at the Bal Tic Tac, the entrepreneur and poet Gino Gori commissioned Fortunato Depero to decorate the Cabaret del Diavolo. Based on Dante’s Commedia, Depero would create an integral design of three spaces that configured an allegorical inverted reading of the Florentine poet’s journey to the afterworld. Its originality and careful advertising made the cabaret one of the representative spaces of the Roman nightlife which, des…
