The European Flag According to Paolo Fabbri
2021
Too often we consider symbols in our cultures to be indivisible monoliths that can only be interpreted through the connotations they take on over time. This is due, on one hand, to their compact nature, the correspondence between the planes of expression and content that make them appear solid, impossible to break down. However, it is also true that in the majority of cases we inherit ready-made symbols that seem to have been born with their current shape, with no hint as to the processes that have made them this way. As a rule, there are so many, varied meanings of the word “symbol” that, in the absence of a clear, consensual hypothesis on what a symbol is, they can be difficult to read. A…
The Content of the Websites: Emergence of Intimate Cyberplaces
2017
On the basis of an interpretation of the content of the contrade’s websites, this chapter proposes that these communities unlock cyberspace through inhabiting cyberplaces.

By constructing websites in such a way, the contrade inhabit cyberplaces that are characterised by intimacy and familiarity , as they present their…
The oceanic state: a conceptual elucidation in terms of modal contact
2012
Despite its lengthy history in psychoanalysis, the psychological origins, essential features and value of the oceanic state remain open to dispute. This ambiguity has come at a cost to the clarity of theoretical discussions on the topic. In working towards a conceptual elucidation, the author maintains that there are three primary accounts of the oceanic state: the metaphysical one of Romain Rolland, the developmental one of Sigmund Freud, and the cognitive-perceptual one of Anton Ehrenzweig. Based on the notion of modal contact, he argues that the accounts share a general theoretical structure that establishes as the necessary criterion for all oceanic states the loosening of ego boundarie…
Staging the Impossible for Young Audiences: Preliminary Findings in a Research Project
2009
“You should not be able to notice that it is theatre for children!” says Suzanne Osten, Swedish theatre director. How is this view compatible with her statement that Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) should always take the child's perspective? In this article I draw attention to Osten's motivation and ability to do what some reckon to be impossible, unheard of, and/or irresponsible. Staging taboos such as divorce, suicide, eating disorders, and schizophrenia for children has been something of a trademark for Osten. I will widen the focus beyond the thematic content, by analyzing how she gives this a formal expression: how theoretical, aesthetic, kinesthetic, and playful approaches challenge…
Riqueza hermenéutica: Villacañas lee a Freud

El padre primero
2007
Sigmund Freud creyó primero que la seducción del padre estaba en el origen de la histeria de su hija, pero luego se retractó, y afirmó que la escena en la cual papá visitaba a su pequeña era sólo una fantasía que la hija, atrapada dentro de su laberinto edípico, había inventado. La historia de esa corrección es lo que he llamado su histeriada. Su Tótem y Tabú forma parte de ella. Al decir que “en el principio”, “érase una vez”, el Padre de la Horda (ab)usó de todas las hembras de su familia hasta que sus hijos se rebelaron y lo mataron, instituyendo la prohibición del incesto, Freud consigue transformar la escena de la seducción en un residuo fantasmal del cuento original. La historia que M…
Historical preconditions for the development of “the right to a personal identity” in Western philosophy
2019
Any discussion on a person’s right to identity ought to start with a study of the content of a person’s identity. While ascertaining the essence of a person’s identity, the author was inclined to think that the development of a personal identity as a permanent concept was promoted by the genesis of the human dignity, individuality, autonomy and personality of a person. It is human dignity, the manifestation of which, inter alia, is to be found in the person’s identity, which forms the basis of its legal protection, transforming the identity of a person into legal value and, accordingly, creating the right of a person to identity. Thus the article provides a legally philosophical insight int…
