Filipinas en el marco del imperio español en el siglo XIX
2019
[EN] En este artículo se analiza la evolución de Filipinas en las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII y en el transcurso del siglo XIX a través de diferentes epígrafes: la obligada transformación del secular modelo colonial volcado hacia el tráfico del Galeón y las relaciones transpacíficas; la renovada inclinación hacia Asia, el océano Índico y el mar de China; el desarrollo de un sistema económico basado en la exportación de productos filipinos y en la apertura de las islas al exterior; la evolución de la vida política; el camino hacia la modernización; el peso de las órdenes religiosas, la importancia de la población china y la colaboración con élites indígenas como rasgos singulares de Fili…

Anti-heroism and Intercultural Hints in David Charles Badham's Travel in Sicily
2009
The paper analyses the discursive features of Charles Badham's travelogues in Sicily in the context of the XIX century Travel Writing development. The travelogues are peculiar in their textual hybridity, blending some of the traditional discursive paradigms of the late Grand Tour travelogues and some of the conventional categories of the exploration and scientific accounts on the imperial frontier proper of the second half of the XIX century. In Badham's travelogues the informational components and a clear subjectiveness of his experience co-exist; far from articulating heroic attitudes, Badham's travelgues deploy an intercultural approach rather than, in Pratt's words (1985), a "monarch-of…
Museum coloniality : displaying Asian art in the whitened context
2021
The transformation of Musée Guimet and the transition of museums in the ‘countries of origin’ of its collections elucidates how white-cube crystallises Western cultural hegemony by erasing the colonial past of the objects and by representing the physical form of modernity. It contributes as well to nullifying the demand of repatriation, which seems to merely raise new power struggles rather than to recover indigenous beliefs (or identities). Through such a muséographie, the deities of the Other are ‘elevated’ from ethnographic specimen into art in the West while ‘diminished’ from sacred icons into art or historical artefacts in Asia. Museumification as such constitutes a whitening (Westerni…
Rappresentazioni mediterranee e violenze punitive su corpi femminili
2017
Partendo dalla constatazione che la violenza di genere investe non solo il piano delle azioni, ma anche quello simbolico delle rappresentazioni e coesiste con i frame della libertà e della reciprocità, il saggio si propone di analizzare le forme di percezione, valutazione e rilevanza assegnate alla violenza, in contesti di normalità. Vengono evidenziate le situazioni in cui la violenza si manifesta ritualizzandosi, riiscritti gli elementi che la connotano, riletta la rappresentazione che ne viene fatta dai mass media. Nel saggio si cerca di sciogliere alcuni nodi del rapporto reversibile fra consapevolizzazione rispetto a e banalizzazione della violenza di genere, ci si sofferma poi sui fat…
