A lack of meaning?
2020
This article explores the ‘lack of meaning’ in contemporary society as a consequence of Western dualist thought paradigms and ontologies, via Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘reactive nihilism’ following the colloquial murder of God. The article then explores processual and new materialist approaches in the understanding of the lived and carnal self, arguing for immanent and senseful materiality as an ethical platform for religious, environmental, and societal solidarity for tomorrow. For the theoretical justification of the processual approach in understanding the enfleshed self, the article employs John Dupré’s processual approach in the philosophy of biology, as well as Astrida Neimani’s cri…
How can Parmenides’ τὸ ἐόν be unending but non-endless?
2023
In this paper we shall walk a well-trodden but still only partially explored path, along which we shall attempt to establish a basis for the study of the Parmenides poem’s unity by way of a comparison with 20th-century physics. In particular, we shall investigate the hypothesis that Parmenides’ sphere-shaped τὸ ἐόν, as described in B8.42-49, could be understood as a hyperspherical unlimited whole cosmologically bounded by the διάκοσμος described by the complex sphere system in fragment B12.

2005
Una monografia sulla saga di Procne e Filomela da Omero a Ovidio, esaminata in primo luogo dal punto di vista mitografico, nello sviluppo delle diverse versioni del mito, quindi da quello metaletterario, in relazione alla metafora del poeta-usignolo e al suo percorso dalla letteratura greca arcaica alla letteratura latina di età augustea A monograph on the saga of Procne and Philomela from Homer to Ovid, surveyed first from a mythological point of view - taking into account the development of the myth's different versions -, then from a metaliterary one, following the path of the poet-nightingale metaphor from archaic Greek literature to augustan Latin literature.
Civil Religion or Nationalism? The National Day Celebrations in Norway
2021
The Norwegian National Day (17 May, also referred to as Constitution Day) stands out as one of the most popular National Day celebrations in Europe. According to surveys, around seven out of every 10 Norwegians take part in a public celebration during this day. This means that the National Day potentially has an impact on the way people reflect upon national identity and its relationship to the Lutheran heritage. In this paper, I will focus on the role religion plays in the Norwegian National Day rituals. Researchers have described these rituals as both containing a significant religious element and being rather secularized. In this article, I discuss the extent to which the theoretical con…

Austrumu un rietumu mītiem daudzu gadsimtu garumā bijusi būtiska loma dažādos literārajos darbos.

Antropopoiesi eroica in Omero: Fenice maestro di Achille
2016
In chant IX of Iliad there is the long digression of Phoenix, Achilles’ pedagogue, and plays a strategic role, as is recognized by almost all scholars. For this reason, the mise en abyme is a tool to explore the ambiguous relationship between language and reality, which remain central to the relationship between Phoenix and Achilles. The mise en abyme reveals the sense of vertigo mirror between teacher and student, becoming a metaphor and representation of masterful strategy in which the teacher / parent connection, enacts generative operation and produces a continuous exchange of roles. Phoenix, teacher and “parent”, is a fragile figure, oscillating between authority and weakness.
Responsabilità e (de)merito negli epilli di Draconzio
2017
Questo intervento è centrato sui temi della responsabilità e del demerito in tre epilli mitologici di Blossio Emilio Draconzio, il più importante poeta e scrittore dell’Africa vandalica fra V e VI secolo. I tre epilli (De raptu Helenae, Medea e Orestis tragoedia) hanno una caratterizzazione cupa, opprimente e pessimistica e i loro personaggi principali (Paride ed Elena, Medea e Giasone, Clitennestra, Egisto e Oreste) vengono delineati come individui colpevoli e sciagurati, responsabili di misfatti quali l’adulterio, l’uxoricidio, il matricidio e l’infanticidio. Nella presentazione negativa dei suoi personaggi, Draconzio si discosta spesso dalla tradizione classica precedente. This paper dea…
