Litorali dell'autofinzione: spigolature lacaniane
2017
Questo articolo intende applicare gli strumenti teorici della psicoanalisi lacaniana allo studio del romanzo autofinzionale. Si tratta, per un verso, di operare una lettura del romanzo "L'étreinte" di Philippe Vilain al livello del significante; per un altro, di cogliere le implicazioni del Simbolico in vari romanzi dello scrittore omosessuale marocchino Rachid O.

The Reason of Imagination. The Blazing Worlds of Margaret Cavendish and Siri Hustvedt
2020
One of the peculiarities of 17th and 18th centuries literature is the link between knowledge and imagination, a relationship in which narration sometimes accompanies science, sometimes goes beyond it. The idea of imagination as a true means of knowledge is the subject of Margaret Cavendish’s best known work, The Blazing World (1666), where her alter ego is free to built a whole social and philosophical system based on corporality and subjectivity. From the same conception of imagination starts Siri Hustvedt when in 2014 rewrites The Blazing World: the story of an artist who still in the twentieth century tries to face the overwhelming misogyny with the performance of the body and the theory…

Storiografie parallele. Cos'è la non-fiction?

Il libro propone una teoria della categoria di narrativa non-finzionale nota come "non-fiction". Dopo una premessa storico-teorica si esamina la non-fiction in base alle forme e ai generi adoperati in questa categoria di scrittura, dopo di che si procede a un'analisi di temi e costanti concettuali condotta attraverso una lettura per campioni di testi degli ultimi trent'anni.

Bodies That Matter: Miniaturisation and the Origin(s) of ‘Art’
2020
Small things matter, especially in the so-called ‘arts’. From the visual arts to music and literature, ‘miniatures’ are a transcultural and transhistorical phenomenon that involves our aesthetic attitudes but also our everyday life, our emotional, social and cognitive life. Miniaturisation characterises our cognitive life and, of course, the ‘cognitive life of things’ that we produce, manipulate and discard. My paper is articulated into two sections: the first gives a quick overview of the miniatures of Homo sapiens, especially those of the paleolithic age, and a brief survey of the very challenging history of miniature-interpretation in twentieth-century philosophy of culture. In the secon…
