Paratesto e narratività in antropologia: il prologue a Non-lieux di Augé.
2010
Attraverso una disamina dell’introduzione a Nonluoghi di Marc Auge, scritta dall’autore per il suo lavoro sull’antropologia della contemporaneita, questo studio esplora le modalita secondo cui si creano, nei suoi testi, ‘effetti di letterarieta’ pregnanti sia per le strategie narrative utilizzate, sia per i risvolti teorici in antropologia. La tesi che viene sostenuta e che, gia nelle prefazioni dei testi di Auge, l’invenzione di ‘storie dei tempi moderni’ diventa un mezzo per riflettere criticamente su alcuni fenomeni tipici della nostra epoca, quali le nuove formazioni spaziali, il senso della memoria e della storia, le conseguenze delle nuove tecnologie e le relative forme di ritualita. …
A work of “total” art. Phenomenology of the Italian memorial in Auschwitz
2016
In 1978 the Italian Association ANED (national association of people formerly deported to nazi camps) starts the design and implementation of a Memorial, to tell the story of the Italian deportation, shaping it with respect to the inner space of one of the existing blocks on the site of the extermination camp in Auschwitz (Block 21). From the first project idea, the art potentiality was assumed as the most suitable instrument for the construction of memory. The Memorial was configured, in fact, as a true work of total art, coincidence of intention and perfect synthesis of the various arts in compliance with the same program: a choral work, a work of artists and intellectuals who, each accor…
Religion and transnationalism: biographies of South Korean migrants – an empirical perspective
2014
As a result of studying interviews with Korean migrants (miners and nurses who moved to Germany and [some of them] further on to North America) we show how this group finds or “comes to religion”. After presenting a concept of religion, following the model of Ulrich Oevermann, parts of autobiographical narratives are analyzed and the complicated, intertwining and often conflicting relationships between religion and transnationalism are studied; we ask, among other things, if religion is becoming a compensation for moving back and forth between the home country and the country of residence. This discussion leads to further considerations concerning the connection between religion, church rel…

The first group encompasses audio recordings, transcriptions, and corresponding translations of the semi-structured task entitled "Family Problems Pictures." The second group consists of audio recordings, transcriptions, and relative translations of another semi-structured task called the "Pear Story." Lastly, the third group contains audio recordings, transcriptions, and relative translations of …
Verso una nuova cultura di Bildung: l’approccio biografico-narrativo come metodologia formativa
2020
Teoria e prassi, azione e riflessione, oggetto e soggetto, cura d’altri e cura di sé, sono i pilastri di una pedagogia volta alla Bildung intesa come tensione spirituale dell’io e coscienza di una crescita interiore cui ogni uomo può e deve elevarsi alla sua vera condizione umana. Questo lavoro si divide in due parti: la prima parte è volta a delineare una ricostruzione storica del concetto di Bildung, soffermandosi principalmente sul senso e sul significato che Edith Stein ha offerto al mondo della pedagogia; nella seconda parte del lavoro, si vuole identificare l’importanza di adottare la tecnica riflessiva della narrazione autobiografica per far emergere la validità che essa possiede nel…
Per una genealogia della biopoetica. Da Aristotele a Todorov
2021
Negli ultimi anni la teoria letteraria in Italia ha cominciato ad affrontare la questione del significato biologico della narrazione e della letteratura.1 Il presupposto di questo interesse sta nel riconoscimento che la narrazione può essere a pieno titolo considerata un “comportamento” tipico dell’Homo Sapiens, non foss’altro perché è un fenomeno che riguarda tutta la specie (a tutte le latitudini e a tutte le altezze cronologiche) e può essere studiata nel quadro delle attitudini cognitive che hanno permesso agli umani di costruire la loro specifica nicchia ecologica. In recent years, literary theory in Italy has begun to address the question of the biological meaning of narration and lit…
Spunti di racconto in alcuni «Carmina Cantabrigiensia»
2015
The «Cambridge Songs» («Carmina Cantabrigiensia») are a collection of short Latin poems which we find in the lone manuscript Gg. 35 (Ca), housed in the Cambridge University Library. The manuscript itself was produced at the monastery of St. Augustine in Canterbury, in the middle of the XIth century, just before the Norman invasion of England. The best part of the poems of the «Cambridge Songs» probably derives from Germany and belongs to a period between IXth and XIth centuries. The 84 poems of the collection display a diversity of form, content and function. We can extricate praise poetry for kings and bishops, erotic verses, nature poems, and other sort of writing less easily classified. …
Remembering a past princess : Catherine Jagiellon and the construction of national narratives in Sweden and Finland
2019
This chapter tackles the role a Jagiellonian princess, Catherine Jagiellon, has been given in Swedish and Finnish history culture. It illustrates how her figure has entered the historical-cultural memory of both countries, forging and re-forging their national self-image from the end of the sixteenth century through the Cold War, and into contemporary school history teaching. The chapter highlights the differences as well as the similarities of collective memory and history culture associated with Catherine Jagiellon in two Nordic countries with a shared history. It focuses on largely on physical sites of memory such as archives, museums, cathedrals, chapels, castles, commemorative monument…
La destitución del mito. Christa Wolf y la reescritura de la memoria histórica
2018
En este ensayo se reconstruye el recorrido narrativo de Christa Wolf desde una perspectiva que propongo definir como destitución mitológica. Se fijan cuatro estaciones correspondientes con las cuatro novelas cruciales en la biografía literaria de la autora. La primera es El cielo partido, en la que Wolf trabaja con el concepto de Vergangenheitsbewältigung, es decir: una elaboración del pasado que permite su superación. La segunda es Muestra de infancia, en la que aparece la figura de la precisión fantástica, entendida como la única auténtica posibilidad de memoria histórica colectiva. Finalmente Casandra y Medea, donde este trabajo de rememoración encuentra su aplicación en la deconstrucció…
