Esteettisen teorian esteettinen teoria: Theodor Adornon dialektinen estetiikka
2012
Theodor W. Adornon (1903–1969) Esteettinen teoria ei ole teoria estetiikasta vaan pikemminkin teoria esteettisen kritiikin ehdoista ja mahdollisuuksista. Teoksen tavoitteena on asetella kysymys taiteen ja yhteiskunnan suhteesta alistamatta taidetta millekään ulkoiselle päämäärälle, mutta samalla typistämättä sitä vain itseensä viittaavaksi peliksi. Tavoite heijastelee Adornon filosofian tärkeää pyrkimystä säilyttää kohteen ensisijaisuus: tutkimuksen kohdetta ei tule pakottaa ennalta annettuun muottiin, vaan teorian on säilytettävä jatkuva itsereflektiivinen liike kohteen ja metodin välillä. peerReviewed
Le "Meditazioni sulla metafisica" nella Dialettica negativa di Adorno. Introduzione, commento, analisi critica.
2009
Adorno ritiene che il vero contributo della riflessione kantiana sulla metafisica siano rinvenibile proprio nelle crepe della filosofia trascendentale, in quei nodi irrisolti che ne rivelerebbero la stessa insostenibilità. Vale in tal senso per Kant quello che Adorno afferma a proposito di Aristotele nel corso di lezioni tenuto a Francoforte durante il semestre estivo del 1965: «ma anche qui vorrei farvi notare che nei pensatori importanti i problemi reali stanno proprio dove essi incorrono nei cosiddetti errori. L’impianto della filosofia kantiana non può, secondo questa prospettiva, essere integrato o perfezionato. Esso deve piuttosto essere ridiscusso in radice seguendo la strada indicat…
How the Context Matters. Literal and Figurative Meaning in the Embodied Language Paradigm
2014
The involvement of the sensorimotor system in language understanding has been widely demonstrated. However, the role of context in these studies has only recently started to be addressed. Though words are bearers of a semantic potential, meaning is the product of a pragmatic process. It needs to be situated in a context to be disambiguated. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that embodied simulation occurring during linguistic processing is contextually modulated to the extent that the same sentence, depending on the context of utterance, leads to the activation of different effector-specific brain motor areas. In order to test this hypothesis, we asked subjects to give a moto…

A parody of action : Politics and pantomime in Agamben's critique of Arendt

Introduction
2022
In the introduction to the volume, the editors explain the overarching aim of the volume and contextualize the main themes of its chapters. Even if the notions of biopolitics and biopower have played a crucial role in philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences over the last decades, they have been used in various and at times diverging senses, which has also produced different narratives about the history of biopolitics. The main aim of the volume is to clarify whether and to what extent the concept of biopolitics is applicable to antiquity. To answer such questions, the chapters collected in the volume address three main topics, namely the possible presence of biopolitical discour…
Mind your Manners : Agamben and Phish
2021
In the final volume of his Homo Sacer series Giorgio Agamben develops the concept of destituent power, a power that unworks itself in every constitution and renders itself inoperative in its every operation. This concept helps elucidate Agamben’s more enigmatic notion of form-of-life. Whereas the power of sovereign biopolitics is constitutive, i.e. constituting a determinate actual bios out of the indefinite potentialities of zoe, form-of-life exemplifies the power of rendering actual and determinate forms inoperative or destitute. Rather than attempt to devise a ‘proper’ form of life, Agamben seeks to free life from the gravity of all tasks or vocations imposed on it by privileged forms. W…

The impurity of praxis : Arendt and Agamben
2023
AbstractIf politics is understood as a foundational and open-ended activity, a general problem that arises from such a framing concerns the question of how to sustain the possibility of continuous openings without converting action into permanence and closure. In this article, we approach this problematic by treating Hannah Arendt as an exemplary figure in the current of political thought that emphasizes the indeterminate nature of action. We focus more specifically on how Arendt addressed the question of sustaining action by exploring the role of forgiveness, promises, divided power, and principles of action in her thought. While we show that the task of sustaining the indeterminacy of act…
