Filosofi e animali in Roma antica. Modelli di animalità e umanità in Lucrezio e Seneca

2012

Nel dibattito della nostra epoca la presenza degli animali, e l'insieme dei problemi connessi alla relazione uomo-animale, sembrano sempre più acquisire un ruolo di primo piano. Ciò vale in egual misura per le scienze naturali e le discipline umanistiche, per la biologia evolutiva come per la filosofia morale. Soprattutto, appare sempre più consistente il peso degli interrogativi etici - bioetici - impliciti nelle questioni zooantropologiche. Questo volume intende riprendere in considerazione l'opera di due fra i più importanti pensatori della cultura romana, l'epicureo Lucrezio e lo stoico Seneca, al fine di ripercorrere attraverso sondaggi selettivi l'ampio dibattito sviluppatosi a Roma, …

Analiza porównawcza wybranych frazeologizmów animalistycznych w trzech językach słowiańskich i w dwóch germańskich

In the contemporary civilization, our world and that of animals merge more and more extensively, and so they are becoming increasingly dependent on each other. On the one hand, human beings - having considered themselves lords of the world - try hard to be as humane as they can towards animals, but on the other - they treat them utterly instrumentally, which is widely reflected, among others, in our languages. This particular observation has served as a basis for the present article. The article - after a concise conceptual part - presents selected fragments (about 40%) of the results of the empirical linguistic research which the author has performed in order to study qualitatively and qua…

Sacrificio in regime mediatico. Dal fatto al senso, e ritorno

2019

Today we live in a society and in a historical moment that is losing the sense of sacrifice, that is the pertinent interweavings that bind - with respect to the theme of the meat diet and the preliminary killing of the animal for food - man and animals, man and other men through the animal, the animal with other animals through man, not without the necessary inclusion of the cultural context, on the one hand, and divinity and the sacred, on the other. If meaning is given - according to the dictate of semiotics - in the networks of relations that compose it (where - according to the structuralist dictate - relations are primary and related elements secondary), the loss of the sense of sacrif…

Animismi animali

2023

Poco tempo fa, a un pranzo domenicale, conversavo con una signora di mezz’età sulle vacanze estive appena trascorse. «Lasciamo perdere», mi dice, «oramai sono diventata la nonna dei cani». La signora mi spiega che i suoi due figli, precari, convivono con le rispettive fidanzate, ma non osano far figli sicché hanno preso, ognuno, una coppia di canòni, di non so quale pregiatissima razza, che amano alla follia e che durante le ferie e i sabato sera vengono, manco a dirlo, depositati a casa dei genitori, cioè della mia dirimpettaia di tavola, che ama immensamente i suoi ragazzi e tutto ciò che essi emanano, al punto da sacrificare le proprie meritate vacanze per accudire quei quadrupedi decisa…

Il discorso animale

2019

For semiotics, the question of the talking animal is evidence but, in other ways, it is something unthought of, a theme that still needs to be worked on and discussed in view of new models of reflection and analysis. It is an evidence because talking animals are the norm in fairy tales, in legends, myths, fiction and so on: all material that, adequately analysed, has led to the theory of narrativity, where a non-human actor can play even very complex attitudinal roles. Even very complex ones. However, this is also something unthought of because, after all, narrative grammar, in its interplay between actors and actants, has in some way humanised animals, situating itself within an epistemolo…

Zoosémiotique 2.0

To semiotise the animal - to narrate it, to say it, to represent it, to think it, to make it an object of science - means to manage the politics of an unsecured threshold: that which separates it, more or less obstinately, from man. To define the animal is to define man, of course. However, it is more interesting to note that, often surreptitiously, giving the animal a place among the "kingdoms" of nature means, in parallel, adding it between the articulation of the social, between cultural institutions (kinship, affection and kinship, affection and affiliations, strategies and conflicts...). In In other words, to make the animal the object of knowledge is to propose a certain political vis…
