Herodotus’ awareness of the Peloponnesian War
2020
AbstractThis article aims to discuss the relationship between Herodotus and Thucydides. New scholarly trends date the composition of Herodotus’Historiesto 413 BC, or even later, against high chronology of 431, and suggest Herodotus’ use of Thucydides’ narrative. Herodotus’ debt to Thucydides has been suggested by scholars either cautiously or boldly. This examination will show cases where Herodotus is alluding to events of the Peloponnesian War or even responding to Thucydides’ narrative. In fact, anachronisms, presentisms, and allusions to Thucydides’ text can be found throughout Herodotus’ narrative. We will explore the reasons for Herodotus’ engaging with the events of that War, conjectu…

Black Sun Package. Myths and Melancholy in Irene Larsen’s Collection Sortsolsafari In this article, I analyse how the Sami poet Irene Larsen rewrites Sami oral tradition and mythology in her collection Sortsolsafari (2013, “Black Sun Safari”). I discuss how Larsen’s work differs from the mainstream of contemporary Sami poetry and other indigenous literatures. Sortsolsafari has postmodernist features, which seldom are found in Sami literature. Larsen situates mythological elements in present-day reality: a Sami goddess uses a sewing machine and a shaman logs on to the Internet. These anachronisms create a comical effect. Instead of nostalgia and anti-colonialism, which traditionally characte…
¿Un transhumanismo nietzscheano? Sobre la parcialidad del alegato
2020
espanolEl articulo analiza desde una perspectiva critica las tentativas de interpretar a Nietzsche como un precursor del transhumanismo. Tras una breve contextualizacion del fecundo debate en torno a Nietzsche y el transhumanismo, se evalua el caracter fraccional o parcial del alegato de Stefan Sorgner en favor de un “transhumanismo nietzscheano”. Despues, se investiga la tension entre humanidad, la superacion del ser humano y su cria en los escritos de Nietzsche. Una vez ejecutado este analisis, y sin animo de caer en el anacronismo, se sostiene que Nietzsche anticipa ciertamente un germen de la idea de post-humanidad, en su critica de la cultura humanista y en su invitacion a transformar …
Lo sguardo dell’altro: artivismo, ideologia e rappresentazione
2020
In a global context in which society has become spectacle, everything turns into representation (Debord 1967). The phenomenon of nation-states fortification emerges in a problematic way with respect to the neoliberal capital-work relationship (Mezzadra e Nielson 2013). The need to build walls, in fact, is a mode of representation that is exploited for a strategic construction of alterity. The aim of this research is to highlight the “naturalization” of stereotyped imagery, prompted by mediatic and political discourses concerning the migratory phenomenon. Starting from a recognition of the critical thinking of scholars such as Michel Foucault and Louis Marin, the goal of this paper is to tak…
SUBJECTIVITY AS A NON-TEXTUAL STANDARD OF INTERPRETATION IN THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHICAL PSYCHOLOGY
2010
Contemporary caution against anachronism in intellectual history, and the currently momentous theoretical emphasis on subjectivity in the philosophy of mind, are two prevailing conditions that set puzzling constraints for studies in the history of philosophical psychology. The former urges against assuming ideas, motives, and concepts that are alien to the historical intellectual setting under study, and combined with the latter suggests caution in relying on our intuitions regarding subjectivity due to the historically contingent characterizations it has attained in contemporary philosophy of mind. In the face of these conditions, our paper raises a question of what we call non-textual (as…
Martinus Garatus Laudensis on Treaties
2004
Introduction Martinus Garatus Laudensis' De confaederatione, pace et conventionibus principum is widely acknowledged as one of the first monographic works on the law of treaties. Whatever the merits of such a characterisation, there is a risk that it may obfuscate some of that work's essential features in its proper legal-historical context. Before considering the substance of the work, it is therefore necessary to consider some of its formal features, if only as a general methodological caveat. Martinus Garatus on the prince and the law Before the second half of the seventeenth century, legal monographs on treaties are scarce. That, of course, does not mean that the rich civil and canon la…
Les Éditions Pyrodactyles ou la nostalgie de la littérature
2014
ACL Nat; National audience; Les Éditions Pyrodactyles est une maison d’édition fictive comprenant un panel d’auteurs inventés par Alice Forge, plasticienne depuis 2009, dans une démarche héritée des univers vertigineux et ludiques de Borges et Perec. Ces textes fantômes sont le prolongement d’œuvres réelles, souvent issues de la littérature populaire (Roman d’aventure, roman policier, roman feuilleton et science-fiction). Les auteurs des Éditions Pyrodactyles sont eux-mêmes issus du patrimoine littéraire, inspirés qu’ils sont de personnages romanesques, comme le comte de Monte-Cristo, le capitaine Nemo, Arsène Lupin, etc. S’ajoute à cette littérature une correspondance et une paralittératur…
