El oráculo saboteado: ideología y comportamientos guiados en la comedia áurea
2020
[spa] Este artículo propone un análisis del género teatral áureo en uno de sus mecanismos retóricos con mayor capacidad performativa: la función dramática oracular a partir de la cual una voz superior -sea un oráculo, un sueño, una voz interior o cualquier otra posesión transitoria- es escuchada simultáneamente por el receptor-personaje y por el receptor-público. El dramaturgo jerarquiza así la heterogeneidad de discursos presentes en el microcosmos de la comedia y, ofreciendo un silogismo epistemológico, incita a actuar directamente al primero y metonímicamente al segundo. La crítica entendida como sabotaje ofrece unas herramientas críticas que permiten desenmascarar los entresijos de esto…
Phenomenology of the Poetical
2004
These lines from “The Doctrine of the Point of View” by Jose Ortega y Gasset, the fragment devoted to the ever-existing antinomy between life and culture and their interpretations from the rationalistic and relativistic view points, are the perfect opening for the present paper as they capture the sense and the mood of the philosophical endeavor taken upon by Anna-Teresa Tymienicka in Poetica nova and Book 3 of Logos and Life: The Passions of the Soul and the Elements into Onto-Poiesis of Culture. In short it could be summarized as the inquiry into phenomenology of the poetical with a special emphasis on literature as the prima facie human creative activity to be approached by the means of …
De nova Philostrati editione a Rudolpho Stefec parata disputatiuncula
2021
The contribution is a study on the tradition and text of Philostratus’ Vitae Sophistarum based on the recent edition of Stefec. This edition profits from the advancements of the last two centuries both in the field of textual criticism and in that of palaeography, since until now the reference text had been the one established by Kayser in his three editions (1838; 1844; 1870-71), which however had been conducted with pre-Lachmannian criteria. In the first part of the contribution we retrace the process that led the publisher to reconstruct the relationships between the manuscripts and to reconfigure the codices into two families, instead of three: the publisher shows that those that accord…
Are Distinctions Between Genres Still Relevant?
1998
Why do readers — and especially literary critics — feel the need to classify works of art into categories which one often calls genres? On the one hand fashionable ideas lead some commentators to argue that, in this infinitely innovative world, genres have become irrelevant because traditional rules have been subverted. The ineffable text (sacralized in italics) is all that counts. Yet, on the other, their description of works of literature inevitably resorts to such terms as ‘fantasy’, ‘allegory’, ‘realism’, ‘tragedy’, even if they carefully place these in inverted commas. As the ‘reception’ school of criticism has convincingly shown, a novel, poem or play takes on its full meaning when it…
Sul testo di Platone Gorgia 465a 3-4
2016
In Gorgias 465a 3-4 the reading of Plato’s manuscripts ᾧ προσφέρει ἃ προσφέρει is defended on the basis of a reconsideration of some other passages of this Platonic dialogue, against the conjectures of both Cornarius (ὧν προσφέρει) and Dodds (ᾧ προσφέρει ἃ προσφέρει).
“She Isn’t Going to Give Up”: Women’s Resilience in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane – A Feminist Reading
2019
Abstract While Monica Ali’s novel Brick Lane is most often analyzed from the vantage points of postcolonialism as a text dealing primarily with the plight of the Bangladeshi immigrant community in London, it is difficult, if not downright impossible, to overlook the crucial role women and feminine resilience (in the face of not only patriarchy, but also racism, religion and social unrest) play in the novel. In actual fact, the story can much easier be read as the plight of women in their quest for self-determination and identity than as a novel about cultural clashes in the multicultural metropolis. The present essay sets out to prove that feminism is actually at the forefront of Ali’s nove…

Action research as narrative: five principles for validation
2007
Along with the narrative turn in social sciences, the quality of research has become a more and more intricate issue. Action research reports are often narratives, located in the context of the evolving experiences of those involved. In this paper, the problem of quality in action research narratives is addressed, and some principles for assessing the quality of narrative research reports are proposed. The issue is explored both at a theoretical‐conceptual level and through a number of practical cases from the narrative‐biographical research project TeacherLife. As narrative researchers, the authors are not willing to accept an extremely relativistic stand. They argue the need for conceptua…
Primo Levi: luci e ombre
2021
The article lists the significant occurrences of the twofold element of light and darkness in Primo Levi’s published works. After a methodological introduction, which highlights premises and purposes of this starting research, the article provides an overview following an order by literary genre: poetry, narrative, essay writing. The last chapter lists the relevant occurrences of the “gray” colour in the edited books before I Sommersi e I salvati, in order to identify a possible birthplace of the well-known notion “gray zone” and to detect Levi’s earlier use of the gray colour as an attribute of moral ambiguity.
Der Spannungsbogen von Autonomie und Verletzlichkeit. Eine phänomenologisch-anthropologische Reflexion / The Unsolved Tension between Autonomy and Vu…
2017
Summary A phenomenological approach to anthropology should not propose a static definition of man, but inquire into specific human motivations, which never occur isolated. Therefore, the autonomy-dependency connection is presented as a possible human motivational ground. The notion of autonomy, presented with reference to the Kantian idea of the self-determining reason and to the Husserlian account of self-constitution, reveals in itself elements of dependency. On the other side, the notion of vulnerability and reliance is displayed through different approaches of Gehlen, MacIntyre and Toombs in order to illustrate dependency not as a mere capitulation of the subject, but as one of its intr…
