Storicità del diritto. Strutture costituzionali, fonti, codici. Prospettive romane e moderne
2018
L’intento sotteso alla realizzazione del presente volume è quello di ripercorrere sinteticamente i tratti fondamentali della storia costituzionale romana individuando, al contempo, forme concettuali e prassi consolidate che - seppur sviluppate in quell’esperienza storica - hanno segnato anche le sorti di tutta la Tradizione giuridica successiva, e pertanto, dell’intera Tradizione giuridica Occidentale . Si tratta, infatti, di uno «strato tenacissimo di concetti e pratiche» che hanno raggiunto «quei laboratori politici e istituzionali dei cui prodotti siamo diretti eredi», secondo un percorso di «lunghissima portata e tendenzialmente universale ». Le forme concettuali del diritto romano sono…
Between Time and Culture: Anthropology and Historicity in the Study of Ancient Literature
2015
ENGLISH Since several decades the use of an ethno-anthropological approach has met with considerable success among classical scholars. The comparative analysis of ancient and ‘primitive’ cultures and the application of anthropological models to the interpretation of classical texts have stood out as a powerful alternative to traditional philology. This paper reassesses the complex relationship between cultural anthropology and classical studies, highlighting the relevance of historicity and diachronic factors as basic dimensions of both fields. Indeed, classicists referring to ethno-anthropology and its methods have sometimes inclined to see Graeco-Roman antiquity as a stereotypically homog…
El mito quinqui. Memoria y represión de las culturas juveniles en la transición postfranquista
2020
Este trabajo parte de una imagen inicial–el cuarto quinqui como habitación histórica–para plantear el estudio del fenómeno quinquillero en una dialéctica compleja entre mitología, historicidad y memoria. Me planteo confrontar el actual regreso de lo quinqui en relación con las emergencias de los supuestos quinquis históricos en el archivo de los años setenta. Se trata, sin duda, de una confrontación problemática. Mi trabajo se organiza en dos tiempos. Primero, se trata de deconstruir “el mito quinqui”, analizando sus características y razones tanto en su construcción actual, como regreso quinqui, como en su emergencia histórica. Y después se trata de pensar qué es lo que ese mito impide ver…
Innovationsschübe durch Außenseiter: Das Beispiel des Amateur-Astronomen William Herschel
1986
Innovatory advances by outsiders: The example of the amateur astronomer William Herschel. — Every scientific experience and perception has been gained from within a particular historical situation constituted by numerous components, both internal and external to a particular science, called praesentabilia (Prasentabilien). They enable and determine the scope and the experiental pale of any given science as well as its way and method of acquiring experience and knowledge. The interaction of such praesentabilia forms, what may be called the Historische Erfahrungsraum (‘historical field of experience’), which each individual and/or (greater/smaller) group shares in respectively. A scientific (…
Some Notes on Andrapolis, the Royal City: Apocryphal Acts of Thomas 3
2021
The following paper aims to explore the meaning and significance of the so-called royal city Andrapolis (Ἀνδράπολις) within the context of the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas’ s narrative (chapter 3). The identification of this Indian toponym have attracted the attention of many scholars during the last century and nowadays again, as witness of the few reliable historical traces supposedly transmitted by the apocryphal. For doing so, after a short introduction, we deal with the allegedly historicity of the text; then, we focus on the issue related mainly to the different variants of the location depending on the Syriac and Greek versions of the Acts of Thomas, and propose a new interpretatio…

The Nature of Our Becoming: Genealogical Perspectives
2020
In the light of Philipp Sarasin's work in 'Darwin und Foucault: Genealogie und Geschichte im Zeitalter der Biologie', the article delineates a genealogically articulated naturally produced culture and a cultured nature and discusses the genealogical implications of a carnal, becoming self in a world that could rightly be justified "as an aesthetical phenomenon." The article demonstrates the historicity and processual materiality as a conceptual platform for a combination of the notions of experienced carnality and a socially constructed body, demonstrating such a historically embedded carnal body as a binding agent for the "social constructivist" and "biologist" approaches in sciences. Thus…
Constructing Transnational Fields
2018
This chapter studies the evolving relationship between the redistribution of social resources and the structuration of institutional spaces beyond the nation-state. The author first discusses general features of transnational fields and then moves to an examination of the European Parliament as an empirical case. In this perspective, the object of this approach, transnational social fields, form the social infrastructure of globalization processes. They are historical constructions, subjected to a double historicity: the development of the position of the scholar and the development of the objects that she tries to elucidate in relation to other objects. Transnational fields enable the scho…
The Configuration of Space Through Architecture in the Thinking of Gadamer
2017
Although Gadamer stresses the importance of temporality, historicity and tradition, the aim of this contribution is to underline the uniqueness of architecture in Truth and Methods’ investigation relative to the essence of a work of art. The uniqueness of architecture for Gadamer lies not only in the fact that it gives space for the expression of all other kinds of artworks; a building has to be to understood as self-sufficient and as autarchic, but also as inscribed in the concrete historical life. A further aspect of the uniqueness of architecture originates in the fact that a building determines our way of life or our dwelling even in a political sense.
