Politica al femminile. Margherita Bontade militante democristiana nella Sicilia dei primi anni della Repubblica
2014
Margherita Bontade è una tra le più singolari figure di donne impegnate in politica nella Sicilia del Secondo Dopoguerra; tra le poche ad aver trovato spazio nella cerchia dei potenti democristiani del tempo, occupati ad opporsi all’avanzata dei partiti del Blocco del Popolo, con la benedizione delle gerarchie della Chiesa Cattolica. Le sue fortune elettorali dipendono, da un lato, al suo stretto legame con la Curia e al rapporto personale con il Cardinale di Palermo Ernesto Ruffini; d’altro lato, all’alleanza politica prima con Bernardo Mattarella e poi con Franco Restivo. La sua fulminante carriera politica che si snoda nell’arco di un ventennio – tra la fine degli anni ’40 e la fine degl…
LE GLORIE AFFRESCATE DI COSTANTINO CARASI
2018
L’opera di Costantino Carasi, artista nativo di Noto, non è facile da definire in termini filologici e formali. Egli fu un artista minore che concorse, assieme ai maggiori, a esplicitare sia il tessuto artistico e culturale, sia la dimensione spirituale e religiosa di un territorio poco indagato. Lo studio esplora i fondamenti di un linguaggio tardo-barocco che si rapporta a personalità come Maratta, Sozzi, D’Anna, che determinarono, tra fine Settecento e prima metà del XVIII secolo, la decorazione pittorica nello spazio liturgico. Carasi espresse la sua visione “teologica” conforme ai dettami post-tridentini e celebrò la condizione ecclesiale della sua epoca. Costantino Carasi’s work, Noto…
Heritage and Cultural Policy in France under the Fifth Republic
2003
International audience; In the French historical tradition, four approaches at least have been heavily exploited. One seminal study defines the concept longitudinally in terms of religion, the monarchy, the family, the nation, the administration and science. Another essay uses allegory in an attempt to penetrate the proclaimed, avowed or unspoken motives underlying the notion of heritage. Another work uses the criterion of restoration to determine when a historical monument falls into the category of heritage. Fourth, a recent ground-breaking treatise considers heritage in historical and archaeological practice as reflecting representations of citizenship and the nation. Our angle of attack…

Cuerpos, mujeres y embarazo en imágenes online. Fotografías en álbumes privados y en campañas del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación en Argentina
2018
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar entrevistas realizadas a 30 mujeres de 21 a 40 años de edad de sectores socioeconómicos medios y bajos y un corpus de sus fotografías publicadas online durante el proceso de su embarazo, poniéndolo en diálogo con las fotografías online del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación de campañas de cuidados de salud en el embarazo en Argentina. Nos interesa analizar ese recorte de la realidad, ese lugar donde se quiere echar luz, que implica la fotografía; sobre todo para poder identificar, analizar y comprender lo que se dejó afuera de ese recorte, lo que se intenta invisibilizar. Nuestros hallazgos dan cuenta de un proceso de fragmentación y jerarquización del…
Rewriting antiquity, renewing Rome. The Identity of the Eternal City through Visual Art, Monumental Inscriptions and the Mirabilia
2011
AbstractDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Church began a process of renovation (renovatio) and the city of Rome was given new meanings. Antiquity is part of the identity of the Eternal City; the reuse or reframing of aspects of antiquity inevitably transformed the image of Rome. Public spaces, architecture and objects were given new Christian readings. Inscriptions, present both in sacred and secular settings, played an important role. A similar rewriting can also be found in travel literature and descriptions of the city, such as in the Mirabilia urbis Rome, where ancient monuments were re-interpreted to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. Inscriptions were used as sym…
Bridging between the metal community and the church: Entextualization of the Bible in Christian metal discourse
2012
Abstract For many metal music groups, the music and sounds play a more important role than language and the lyrics do. In the Christian metal (CM) genre, however, the verbal dimension has a significant status. Drawing on the concept of entextualization, the process of producing texts through extraction and relocation, this paper describes how CM groups craft their discourse (song lyrics plus textual contents on their websites) by drawing on pre-existing biblical texts while connecting them with the resources provided by the metal music culture. Entextualization is a fruitful way of looking into how the Bible is used on CM band websites for mediating between Christianity and metal music cult…
Ancient genres in the poem of a medieval humanist: Intertextual aspects of the “De sufficientia votorum suorum” (c. 126 H.) of Baudri de Bourgueil (1…
1995
In the second half of the 11th century, a humanist circle of clerical poets, living around the central valley of the Loire, was writing poetry in classical language and metre. Baudriu of Bougueil, who wrote an impressive corpus of Latin poems, was an expert in the language, style, verse, motifs and genres of the classical and later antique pagan and Christian poetry, and treated theological as well as profane and explicitly ancient topics. About 1107, when he was urged to become bishop and to abandon, his personal independence and quiet monastic life, he gave voice to his disgust of the new ecclesiastical burden by a long poem in elegiac distichs. This paper tries to show the ancient genres…
Dialogicality and spiritual quest in Christian metal lyrics
2013
Abstract: Christian metal (CM) music provides a good example of how religious discourse is undergoing change in today’s world. CM merges religion with popular cultural forms and ways of expression, thereby also transforming the meaning of religion and religious practice. However, the phenomenon has attracted surprisingly little scholarly attention; most writers have treated CM as yet another example of North American Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). The present article takes a detailed look into what is “said” by Finnish CM groups with a particular focus on religious ideology in a context outside the original national and religious context of the genre. Drawing on the sociology of langu…
The Bachelardian Tradition in the Philosophy of Science
2005
To present either Bachelard's epistemology or philosophy of science means, in some ways, to undertake the characterization of an original philosophical approach, one that perhaps begins with August...
