La battaglia di Himera (480 a.C.) nelle inerpretazioni storiografiche antiche e nelle moderne riletture di G. Grote ed E.A. Freeman
2014
Il sincronismo tra le battaglie di Himera e Salamina è stato codificato dalla storiografia antica con l’intento di unificare la Grecità, metropolitana e occidentale, nella comune celebrazione della vittoria contro il barbaro: un nome che accomuna indistintamente Cartaginesi e Persiani. Le due vittorie vennero interpretate tout court come un trionfo della civiltà sulla barbarie. Su questa stessa linea interpretativa si sono mosse alcune analisi della storiografia moderna (XIX-XX sec.) anch’esse caratterizzate da forti connotazioni ideologiche. L’attenzione si sofferma in particolare sulle riletture che degli eventi del 480 a.C. hanno dato G. Grote ed E. A. Freeman; nei loro lavori è possibil…
Technocritiques
2016
International audience; Les techniques promettent abondance et bonheur ; elles définissent la condition humaine d’aujourd’hui. Pourquoi les contester, et à quoi bon ? Les discours technocritiques ne masquent-ils pas des peurs irrationnelles, un conservatisme suranné, voire un propos réactionnaire ? Pourtant, depuis que les sociétés humaines sont entrées dans la spirale de l’industrialisation, des individus et des groupes très divers ont dénoncé les techniques de leur temps et agi pour en enrayer les effets.Contre l’immense condescendance de la postérité, Technocritiques est un ouvrage qui prend au sérieux ces discours et ces luttes. Depuis deux siècles, les technocritiques sont foisonnantes…

"La ricezione antica e moderna di figure ed eventi della storia di Roma. Fra ideologia e tendenza" - Introduzione al Convegno di Studi
2021
In the congress organised by Marilena Casella and Lietta De Salvo with the support of the Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, moments and themes of Roman history of great importance are presented and retraced, in relation to which the interest of the contributions of the speakers is twofold: the angle of observation is in fact placed both on the topics as such, for the weight they had in the history of a civilisation, and on their reception and reworking, which makes it possible to speak of an era that is reflected in other eras, of events that integrate their meaning by handing it down to subsequent generations and contexts, maintaining their vitality.

Le colpe della cultura pagana: riflessioni sull'Epistola 69b di Giuliano
2002
The article is a reflection starting from the epistle 89b of the emperor Julian, which is presented as an illuminating document for the reconstruction of the values of the Hellenic civilisation, based on a precise paideutic-religious programme, which takes the form of a kind of canon of praiseworthy and/or inadvisable authors
The Fall of Rome and the Decay of our Present Civilisation – A Repetitive Process? – The Decay of “Gods”
2014
Abstract Attacked and weakened, especially in the last three centuries, both from inside and outside, Rome and the Western Roman Empire will fall in 476 A.D. Actually, what were the causes? Hit and weakened by the present global economic-financial crises – and not only – our European civilisation faces some of the highest risks. Often, people say it is a real collapse. Are the causes of these falls – of the European-type civilisation – similar? And being familiar with Roman experience, how can we prevent such harmful processes? Further, we try to provide a few answers in this respect.
