Body, art and spatialization. Ten theses on a phenomenological approach to corporeality in art and politics

2014

The following proposal tries to synthesize ten major theses that explain the multiple levels of experience upon the body. The origin of these considerations is fundamentally philosophical and their consequences affect both the general space of the arts as well as the statute of political philosophy. Phenomenology represents the main theoretical frame of reference. Our ten proposals aim to be a practical resource to unfold a thorough reflection on thought and extension, on the lived body, spatiality and spatialization and its functions of dominion and reaction in the field of politics.

Behind the institutional identity: shifting from we-clusters to I-clusters in diplomatic discourse

2011

As research on subjectivity has already shown (Bühler 1934; Mushin 2001), speakers do not just neutrally and mechanically describe states and affairs in the world sorting to objective and prefabricated linguistic formulations, but their personal identity sometimes crops up through a range of viewpoints. This paper is both a contribution to the literature on diplomatic discourse seen as the expression of the foreign policy of a country (Marshall 1990) and to the representation of political identities in specialized discourse (Fairclough 2003). The Diplomatic Corpus (DiCo), investigated in this study, comprises all the speeches delivered by the three British foreign ministers (Cook, Straw and…

Del Comune, o un’etica per il XXI secolo?

2021

This article proposes an ethical reinterpretation of Dardot and Laval's analyses of the concept of the "commune", published in 2014. The circulation of ethical arguments and the activation of a line of thought related to public ethics can indeed contribute to finding an answer to some objections moved to the proposal of the commune. This is the intention of my contribution, which focuses in particular on the question of the subjectivity implied, or rather evoked by the theoretical-political proposal of the French thinkers.

Subjectivity and Femininity: Reading Antigone

2017

With Antigone's lecture, author answer to the question: what is a subject in the feminine? This question allows us to overcome the classic interpretations of Antigone (Hegel, Lacan) and to elaborate a new reading thanks to Kierkegaard, Butler, Derrida, Marion and to the centrality of the theme of love.

Sospensioni del sé

2018

Rethinking metamorphosis as rebirth of the Self opens the possibility of conceiving the subjectivity according to its plasticity, as the new perspectives of the morphological and morphogenetic investigations suggest. The ontological trait of the plasticity of the subject shows us that the Self is a continuous metamorphic activity, which is properly an activity of individualization of the identity of the Self. Following its natural metamorphic way of being and searching for its identity, the Self is revealed to be a transindividual form of life, constituting in the relationship with other transindividual forms of life and their counter-intentionality.

PUÒ IL POTERE ESSERE NEUTRALE? AGONISMO, RESISTENZA E SOGGETTIVITÀ NOTE SUL FOUCAULT DI BRIGAGLIA

2020

In questo articolo sottopongo ad alcune considerazioni critiche la tesi di Brigaglia secondo la quale il Foucault degli anni ’80 avrebbe maturato ed esplicitato una concezione del potere, neutrale e pragmatica, qualitativamente molto diversa da quella, conflittualista e ultra-radicale, che attraverserebbe invece i suoi lavori degli anni ’70. In contrario, sosterrò che, pur con diverse accentazioni, il pensiero di Foucault è costantemente informato all’idea secondo cui ogni relazione di potere comporta sempre un agonismo, attuale o anche solo potenziale, che ha come contraltare una resistenza, anche questa attuale o potenziale, del bersaglio; sosterrò, altresì, che questa dinamica potere-res…

Orizzonti di senso per comprendere il benessere e il malessere nelle organizzazioni sanitarie

2018

The paper proposes a reflection on the meaning of the construct "organizational well- being", starting from the definitions given by the psychologists of work, indicating the need to contextualize its framing within broader horizons of meaning that make it more widely intelligible social, political and economic determinations, avoiding the reduction and banalization of the phenomenology of subjective experiences of discomfort and malaise in the workplace. The text proposes two frames of reference for this contextualization that concern the role of the economy in its relationship with society (and politics), and their effects on the structure of subjectivity as it has unfolded in recent deca…

God-Love-Revelation. God as Saturated Phenomenon i Jean-Luc Marion’s Phenomenology of Givenness

Do Phenomenological Heresies Exist?

2015

Should contemporary phenomenology be considered as a series of heresies or is it still possible to follow the direction of classical phenomenology to renw it? Does a classical phenomenology exist at all? We can already observe in Husserl's work a kind of stratification of phenomenology which makes it possible to affirm that from its beginning phenomenology has been already deconstructed and revised, never closed in a specific ontological field. Rather it is an indication of a method, of a cognitive praxis with a transcendental status. That opens phenomenology up to continuous revisions according to the object to which consciousness is addressed. This methodological essence of phenomenology …
