L'Exposition Coloniale Internationale de Paris 1931
2009
Già nelle più importanti esposizioni parigine d’età positivista, fin dall’Exposition Universelle del 1878, la comparsa di padiglioni dedicati a terre lontane e a forme di civiltà “altre”, e quindi configurati con eclettiche strumentazioni formali (genericamente etichettate come orientaliste) riferite alle rispettive culture architettoniche e artistiche, unitamente alle installazioni di vere e proprie ambientazioni abitative di popolazioni eufemisticamente definite «puramente naturali», corredate di tutto punto e animate dalla presenza di gruppi umani e, spesso, della fauna e della flora dei paesi d’origine, aveva generato una spirale di interesse o di pura curiosità, non di rado morbosa, da…
Between post-colonial and global studies: mobility, government and coexistence in the territories of the Spanish Monarchy in the modern age
2020
After overcoming a predominantly Eurocentric vision, historiography of the late 20th century ventured further into considering the development of dynamics on a planetary scale, embracing the innovative instances and methodological suggestions of Post-Colonial studies, as well as those of World and Global Studies. Whether one accepts the paradigm of “globalisation” or rejects it, like for example, among others, Frederick Cooper – who considers it an empty conceptual shell, devoid of uniformity – it is a matter of fact that social sciences, and history among them, were influenced by it in their heuristic approach at understanding phenomena. In this perspective, and within a dialectic approach…
Reliģiski-filozofiski raksti, Speciālizlaidums I
2022
A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…
The Early Stages: Pre-1910
2017
The chapter gives an account of the roots of the modern ecumenical movement, of the latter’s social and ecclesial context, and of its first organizational manifestations leading up to the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh 1910. This predominantly Protestant movement developed in a setting marked by the climax of modernity and increasing secularization in northern societies, colonization and missionary enterprises in the south, polarization in theology, and denominationalism in church life. It drew from diverse sources, such as the YMCA/YWCA, the WSCF, the Evangelical Alliance and the missionary movement, and from the commitment of individuals such as John R. Mott. Its key aim was to …

“Things which don’t shift and grow are dead things”: Revisiting Betonie’s Waste-Lands in Leslie Silko’s Ceremony
2014
This article explores the socio-political background that led to widespread Native American urban relocation in the period following World War II – a historical episode which is featured in Leslie Marmon Silko’s acclaimed novel Ceremony (1977). Through an analysis of the recycling, reinterpreting practices carried out by one of Ceremony’s memorable supporting characters, Navajo healer Betonie, Silko’s political aim to interrogate the state of things and to re-value Native traditions in a context of ongoing relations of coloniality is made most clear. In Silko’s novel, Betonie acts as an organic intellectual who is able to identify and challenge the 1950s neocolonial structure that forced Na…
Le esposizioni universali: spazialità e politiche di rappresentazione
2015
Come possiamo parlare di modernità? Riflettere su un fenomeno come le Esposizioni universali, sulla loro storia, sembra una buona pista per rispondere alla domanda iniziale. Questi spazi spettacolari, inventati nel XIX secolo dalla società occidentale, producono eventi: “montano” città. E’, infatti, il montaggio una delle chiavi che permette di cogliere questo senso di trasformazione che le Esposizioni producono. Il montaggio come elemento della tecnica e come elemento metaforico. Le Esposizioni si presentano come spazi dove il tutto e le parti sono messi in mostra; sono pensate come forme di inventario, di archivi atti a educare e a meravigliare ma il loro significato va oltre le aspettati…
