Da Trump a Foucault. Postverità e parresia
2021
Vaccaro analyzes the philosophical-political status of the category "Post-Truth", from Arendt to Foucault, and opposes to it the concept of Parrhesia with its political radicality.
The Double Paradigm of Power
2010
As everybody knows, power is a ugly thing, escaping an immediate catch that is aimed to represent it in a univocal way. In the western culture, its conformation is investigated by the classic metaphysical question – what is power? – so inexorably linking it to its essence, that yet defines the perimeter of truth in connection with its existence: in fact that question is possible only for what it is, not for what it is not (i.e. nihilism); things as they are given, they are so in their essence, that is unalterable in time and not deniable as truth effect. If things are by essence, they are true. So and not otherwise, that’s all! The primacy of essence as a real signification of things in the…
What is Experience? : Foucauldian Perspectives
2019
Michel Foucault’s (1926–1984) thought is widely used in the humanities and social sciences for investigating experiences of madness, illness, marginalization and social conflicts. However, the meaning of the word “experience” is not always clearly defined, and the French word expérience has a whole variety of meanings. In this article I explicate Foucault’s most relevant concepts of experience and their theoretical functions. He refers to experience throughout his career, especially in his early texts on existential psychiatry from the 1950s and 1960s and in his late work from the 1980s. Texts such as Mental Illness and Psychology and Dire vrai sur soi-même have received less attention than…
Où est-on quand on est en prison ?
2022
Affirmer qu’on peut juger d’une société en visitant ses prisons, c’est affirmer que la pénalité manifeste la nature du lien politique. Ainsi, l’exclusion que réalise l’emprisonnement pratiqué actuellement en France traduit concrètement, par sa passivité et sa quête de neutralité, l’imaginaire du contrat social, attestant que l’abolition de la peine de mort n’a pas encore fait l’objet d’une réception pleine et entière. Incarcérer autrement, incarcérer pour inclure en condamnant non à une durée mais à une mise en action, participerait donc à régénérer la manière dont nous envisageons ce qui nous unit.
Wittgenstein come etnografo del pensare
2017
Wittgenstein è stato giustamente considerato un grande filosofo, annoverato tra quegli studiosi del Novecento che hanno prodotto un pensiero innovativo nel campo del linguaggio. Nel mio saggio, proprio per meglio mettere in evidenza la forza agentiva del suo pensiero ‘in atto e situato’, prendo le distanze da un’impostazione disciplinare univoca, concentrandomi soprattutto sulle Ricerche Filosofiche in quanto testo risultante da un modo di ‘pensare autoriale’ non lineare, non generalizzato, non essenzialistico: un pensare, quello di Wittgenstein, messo dunque concretamente in forma attraverso strategie operative, sistemi figurativi e insiemi combinati di metafore concettuali, da mettere opp…

Political Action Beyond Resistance: Arendt and "Revolutionary Spirit" in Egypt
2016
The article examines what it calls the "politics-as-resistance" frame in contemporary political theory, originating in the works of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler. This way of organizing political experience is contrasted with Hannah Arendt's political thought, particularly her writings on revolutionary action. Arendt's often overlooked – and partly unpublished – passages on virtù and fortuna are further suggested as important additions to her thinking on action. I argue that Arendt's "world-centric" approach can illuminate certain aspects of political experience that remain dimmed in the more subject-oriented politics-as-resistance frame. Particular focus is paid to the austere notion o…
Demo 31. Corrientes de Foucault: caída de imanes por varillas de diferente conductividad
2013
Objetivo: Observar los diferentes tiempos de caída de tres imanes iguales de neodimio insertados en vástagos de diferentes materiales (y por lo tanto conductividades), como consecuencia de la diferente intensidad de las corrientes de Foucault que generan una fuerza opuesta al movimiento de caída.
Antropologia senza corpo, antropologia del vivere: assetti di conversazione
2017
In un tono volutamente conversazionale, tuttavia da antropologo del linguaggio e dell’esistenza, illustro la mia posizione decentrata e decentrante in antropologia da me intesa in modo altrettanto decentrante. Nonostante la questione presa di petto più direttamente riguardi il corpo e il senso del vivere, lo scopo ultimo che mi prefiggo è discutere i fini dell’antropologia che, nella mia prospettiva, dovrebbe sempre essere conversazionale, fondata su un principio costitutivo di decentramento e sulla costante traduzione della compartimentazione (risultativa) del sapere in processo di continua disciplinarizzazione (di tipo imperfettivo). Ho inoltre affrontato la questione con un percorso a zi…
Demo 29. Corrientes de Foucault: caída de un imán por un tubo conductor
2013
Objetivo: Observar la caída de un imán por dentro de un tubo metálico (cobre o aluminio) y cómo se ralentiza su caída por efecto de la interacción entre su campo magnético y el inducido en el tubo.
