Teatro Bene Comune: Gedanken zum italienischen Theaterfrühling
2019
This contribution describes and reevaluates the Occupied Theatre Movements in Italy (2010-2017) from a marxist and post-structuralist perspective. It situates the theatre occupations in Italy in a broader genealogy of social movements and gives a phenomenological analysis of the specific forms of community-building that caracterize contemporary critique from the Left.
Spectres of the Common: The 'Italian Theatre Spring' in the Context of Global Social Movements
Teatro Valle Occupato, MACAO Milan, ASILO Naples – since 2011 Italy has been overwhelmed by a wave of protests in which creatives, art workers and political activists have occupied theatre houses and other public buildings to fight social and economic precarisation of cultural labour and to struggle for a deeper institutional and social-political change. Through their simple physical presence, numerous artistic, social and institutional interventions as well as a well-thought-out and virally spread discourse, the “Italian Theatre Spring” has developed a critique of the contemporary amalgam of neoliberalism and representative democracy from the viewpoint of theatre. Enhancing the experimenta…
Die totale Produktion: Technik, Kapital und die Logik der Unendlichkeit
2020
Im Begriff der totalen Produktion verdichtet sich Gérard Granels kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der metaphysischen Tradition zu einer Epochendiagnose für die industrialisierte Moderne. In einer ungewöhnlichen Zusammenführung der zentralen Denkbewegungen von Heidegger und Marx werden Technik und Kapital als Schlüsselakteure einer alles ergreifenden Logik der Unendlichkeit aufgewiesen, die seit den epistemologisch-technologischen Revolutionen der frühen Neuzeit nach und nach die geschichtliche Gestalt des Zeitalters bestimmt. Die entsprechende Grunderfahrung der modernen Welt, die Granel in ihrer ganzen ontologischen Vielschichtigkeit über ihre engere ökonomisch-industrielle Bedeutung hinau…

Die Vierte Welt in Berlin: a minor art space in THE CAPITAL OF CREATIVITY
2019
Portraying an alternative theatre space in Berlin, called "Vierte Welt", this article reflects upon the recent changes in the 'spirit of Capitalism' (Boltansik / Chiapello) that has shaped the old and new German capital as an alledged contemporary Eden of creativity and artistic critique.
Shopping malls and neoliberal trends in Southern European cities: post-metropolitan challenges for urban planning policy
2016
Whilst shopping malls have been explored at length by critical urban studies, there has been little exploration of their role in restructuring the practice of urban and spatial planning. This article uses the shopping mall as an object of study in the light of the neoliberal trends and post-metropolisation in Southern Europe, with the aim of exploring challenges for urban governance and planning practice and with a focus on the role of the ongoing economic crisis. A threefold exploratory framework – the ‘lost-in-time scenario’, the ‘messianic mall model’ and the ‘(im)mature planning explanation’ – is used to make sense of the local versions of shopping mall development in Lisbon (Portugal) …

THE DISORIENTED TOURIST
2002
What originally caught our attention was the increased use of the figure of the tourist in contemporary writings on the modern/post-modern condition. The tourist seemed to appear everywhere, in every keynote paper at social scientific conferences, as a symbol of our allegedly post-modern era. But what was also surprising was that, in this context, little reference was ever made to the body of tourism studies, which are rich in depth and breadth (see the various chapters in this book).
SULLA FIABA E SULLA LETTERATURA PER L'INFANZIA A PROPOSITO DI ALCUNI LIBRI
2023
L’articolo riflette su alcune proposte critiche contenute nel recente volume Di cosa parlano i libri per bambini. La letteratura per l’infanzia come critica radicale di Giorgia Grilli, studiosa di letteratura per l’infanzia da molti anni e traduttrice di classici della critica e della narrativa per ragazzi. Attingendo alle scienze cognitive, agli studi di antropologia, di psicologia degli archetipi, di filosofia e alla tradizione critica di settore, Grilli si interroga sul vero significato delle storie per bambini, sulla dimensione profondamente filosofica che alcuni classici per l’infanzia possiedono per dimostrare la complessità letteraria e antropologica di un ambito letterario ingiustam…
Narrativa dei Caraibi nel nuovo millennio
2020
L’etichetta “Letterature franco-caraibica” utilizzata, per convenzione, dalla critica per indicare unitariamente la produzione letteraria in lingua francese della regione centrale del Continente americano è assai impropria. La regione dei Caraibi abbraccia, infatti, sia alcune delle isole dell’arcipelago delle Piccole Antille (Martinica, Guadalupa), sia l’isola di Haïti, che fa parte delle Grandi Antille, che la Guiana incastonata sulla costa orientale dell’America meridionale. Pur nella diversità dei movimenti ideologici e degli avvenimenti storici che si sono succeduti nella regione, le opere letterarie degli scrittori caraibici francofoni, nel loro insieme, hanno oscillato, e continuano …
