Organization
2020
Organization is the explanandum that philosophical and scientific theories take into account for objects, individuals and their assembly, whose structure is characterized by the interdependence of parts to such an extent that it cannot be explained through decomposition. Organization is a critical attribute of nearly, minimally and not decomposable systems. The more interdependent are the parts, the more integrated is the system. Correspondingly, the organization can be intended as the mark of the trade-off between the interaction among parts or sub-systems and within them. Organization may come about in many forms. the concept of organization has been brought in many domains to advocate th…

Autoritär, Elitär & Unzugänglich: Kunst, Macht und Markt in der Gegenwart
2018
This book addresses the development of art production and the wider art market in the 20th century according to various characteristics that make it authoritative, elitist and inaccessible. Dürfen ein toter Haifsch in einer mit Formalin gefüllten Theke von Damien Hirst oder die Skulptur eines enormen Luftballonhündchens von Jeff Koons als Kunst verstanden werden? Weshalb liegen Denk- und Handlungsweisen in der heutigen Kunstwelt jenen des Aktienmarkts näher, statt den gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen im Sinne einer zugänglichen Kunst zu entsprechen? Gibt es noch Künstler*innen, die einen demokratischeren oder partizipatorischen Weg planen? Welchen Sinn für Ästhetik schafft zeitgenössische K…
TIPO, FORMA, MEMORIA. BUFFON E IL PROBLEMA DELLA DÉGÉNÉRATION
2015
The concept of dégénération in Buffon plays a key role in allowing to articulate a reflection on the relationship between species and individual, in theorizing the unit of the type as hierarchical concept of higher order capable of giving an account of the reality of life in its diversification, and especially in allowing the arising of a consideration of the relationship between matter and living form that will profoundly affect the origins of modern biology as Goethe’s morphological thinking.
La photographie engageante di JR: integrazione e intersezione tra immagini e città
JR's street art actions reflect on the life and history of cities and the ways of living there. The giant images of the faces of the inhabitants proposed in their own places of life invite to project the memory into the present using the power of photography to interpret faces: no longer masks but living representations, witnesses of the symbiotic relationship between inhabitants and cities.
Style As A Common Currency And Its Aesthetic Consequences: Appropriation of Forms and Procedures in Neo-conceptual Art of Late 20th Century
2018
The present paper is structured in four interconnected parts that work towards the possible understanding of the concept of style from the perspective of contemporary artists. The temporal scope of the research covers the 1980s and the following decade, though it focuses particularly on the interval between 1988 and 1992, since these years are widely regarded as the seminal period for young British artists. Taking the UK as an example, the geographic scope is concentrated on London and Glasgow, since the latter city rose into prominence as the only true counterpart to the English capital’s art scene in the period under consideration.
Type/Typology
2020
The concept of TYPE and the reference to a modality of thought characterized by a typological STYLE undoubtedly constitute characteristic elements of the morphological discourse, whether considered in its Goethean meaning, analysed starting from the many philosophical, naturalistic, poetological sources that come together in Goethe’s thought, or still because of the modern and contemporary developments that arose from the Goethean perspective in philosophy and in the natural sciences.
Fuoco pallido. W.G. Sebald: l'arte della trasformazione
2019
Questo libro nasce dal bisogno, comune a molti lettori di W.G. Sebald, di ritor-nare circostanziatamente su alcuni passi della sua opera poetica e critica, per riprendere a seguirne i percorsi, per scorgere ulteriori strati, ulteriori tempi che vi sono custoditi. Si sarebbe forse tentati per questo aspetto di rinviare addirit- tura alle “idee estetiche” kantiane, a quelle rappresentazioni dell’immaginazio- ne che danno molto da pensare, senza che alcun concetto determinato sia ad esse adeguato, se non fosse per il netto tenore cosale che in generale domina tali passi, per l’ostinazione con cui le venature materiali vi vengono messe in risalto, e reiterate, e disposte come pietre segnaletich…
The power of the gift: a perspective of political aesthetics
2019
According to Aristotle (Polit. 1253a) man is a “political animal” and his aim is to live in the community. Guided by this Aristotelian premise, I would like to dwell on the relevance of a relationship among individuals as the foundation of a civil society and the building of a political space. Following the Aristotelian perspective, the relationship among people acquires a political value in reference to the Greek word polis (city). Consequently, the adjective “political” indicates an idea wider than usually acknowledged and may refer to space, objects, and overall relationships among people. According to the natural model originally advocated by Aristotle, the urban space acquires a politi…
Aesthetic Perspectives on Culture, Politics, and Landscape. Appearances of the “Political”
2022
This book investigates how we are involved in politically informed structures and how they appear to us. Following different approaches in contemporary aesthetics and cultural philosophy, such as everyday aesthetics, atmosphere and aestheticization, the authors explore how embedded powers in politics, education, democracy, and landscape are analyzed through aesthetics.
