2018
The paper deals with the phenomenon of dystopia in Czech literaturę before 1989. The main aim of the article is to present some similiar views on totalitarian power and its influence on the individual in Czech novels and short stories: Datum narozeni nula by Ludmiła Freiova, Poselstvi pro Agla Mathona by Ondrej Neff, Utopie, nejlepśi verze by lvan Kminek and Maso by Martin Harmcek. The purpose of the paper was also to show how in the authors’ visions of autocratic States, administration is taking control over ordinary people and what kind of tools it uses to manipulate them: terror, self-censorship or various addictions.

‘Here there is no why’: Creating Life from Death in Martin Amis’s Time’s Arrow, or The Nature of the Offence
2012
During the 1990s, British writers paid a growing attention to the controversial subject of the holocaust. Their interest was a response to the long-standing debate on the possibilities of representing the tragic collective experience of concentration camps in art and literature. On this point, Theodor Adorno asserted that art can only have a marginal role, since it runs the risk of “aestheticizing”, de-historicising and even giving meaning to the devastating experience of an entire community of people. More recently, in an interview-discussion centred on Adorno’s theory, Martin Amis pointed out that art has instead the power and the responsibility to keep memory alive and to make individual…
Process art as an aesthetic alternative
2022
The present chapter examines Creed’s early career, particularly the artistic connection to his hometown as well as his peculiar conception of creativeness, for which Douglas Gordon emerges as an influential point of reference. This link to Glasgow has been widely overlooked by critics so far, who rather analyse Creed from a London-centred perspective. Hence, the principal aim of this chapter is to broaden the research scope and possibly detect some strains of early philosophical reasoning and artistic ontogenesis that gradually shaped Creed’s early production. My investigation covers roughly a decade from the late 1980s – Creed’s art school years in London – to the end of the century, short…

La libertà tra determinismo naturale e determinismo teologico: Il De servo arbitrio di Lutero
2018
L'articolo analizza il rapporto tra determinismo naturale e storico da un lato e determinismo teologico dall'altro, così come Lutero lo affronta nel De servo arbitrio, a partire dalla sua concreta esperienza di fede. L'articolo cerca di mostrare come l'idea di determinismo di Lutero sia escludente l’opposta idea d’indeterminazione, ragion per cui egli rifiuta la concezione della libertà come libertas indifferentiae, ma non la contingenza degli eventi e quindi neppure l'autodeterminazione dell'uomo. Nell'articolo si mostra come la posizione di Lutero al riguardo sia stata accolta da Leibniz e da Hegel. The article analyzes the relationship between natural and historical determinism on the on…
Le metamorfosi del corale "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" fra Lutero, Bach e Stravinsky
2020
Il corale matalizio "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" (Dall'alto dei cieli io giungo) è stato realizzato da Martin Lutero sulla base della melodia popolare "Ich komm aus fremden Landen her" e fu pubblicato per la prima volta a Wittenberg nel 1535. Assai diffuso in tutta l'area culturale tedesca, questo brano è stato ripreso, tra gli altri, anche da J.S. Bach, sia nel "Weinachts-Oratorium" BWV 248 che nelle "Canonische Veraenderungen" per organo BWV 796 e 796a. Il saggio ricostruisce il contesto in cui vide la luce la versione originale del canto natalizio e si sofferma sull'interesse di Bach per la numerologia e sulle "citazioni nascoste" in molte sue opere, incluse le "Veraenderungen" sul …
