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.
Rethinking Secular Time in Victorian England
2022
This open access book draws on conceptual resources ranging from medieval scholasticism to postmodern theory to propose a new understanding of secular time and its mediation in nineteenth-century technological networks. Untethering the concept of secularity from questions of ‘religion’ and ‘belief’, it offers an innovative rethinking of the history of secularisation that will appeal to students, scholars, and everyone interested in secularity, Victorian culture, the history of technology, and the temporalities of modernity.

Serializing Age
2015
Serialized storytelling provides intriguing opportunities for critical representations of age and aging. In contrast to the finite character of films, television narratives can unfold across hundreds of episodes and multiple seasons. Contemporary viewing practices and new media technologies have resulted in complex television narratives, in which experimental temporalities and revisions of narrative linearity and chronological time have become key features. As the first of its kind, this volume investigates how TV series as a powerful cultural medium shape representations of age and aging, such as in »Orange Is The New Black«, »The Wire« or »Desperate Housewives«, to understand what it mean…
Madonie: i nuovi scenari del turismo sostenibile
2013
Madonie: i nuovi scenari del turismo sostenibile Il territorio delle Madonie in provincia di Palermo, pur presentando problemi comuni a quelli di altre aree interne della Sicilia come il lento spopolamento, sta emergendo come un'area particolarmente attiva, caratterizzata da un alto livello di pianificazione locale, e quindi può rappresentare un caso emblematico di studio. Le diverse esperienze e iniziative di pianificazione territoriale svolte nelle Madonie nella seconda metà degli anni '90 si articolano attorno a un'idea comune che è lo sviluppo e il miglioramento dei settori ritenuti a vocazione territoriale superiore: il settore agro-industriale di qualità e il turismo sostenibile. L'in…
Expériences temporaires en Architecture. La ville du Marché Ballarò
2020
The rediscovery of the cultural value of the project and of the new aesthetic of temporality are two issues among these emerging in the city in times of crisis in Italy which are measured through the process of active involvement of inhabitants, associations and actors institutional. The research proposed concrete explorations of the transformation of the street into a public space through an interdisciplinary prospective of participatory practices and interlocutions. It is in this context that research is interested in the cultural and material value of urban space as a projection of social relations towards a new aesthetic of temporality which aims to reverse the gaze of waiting spaces th…
Tempo e ragione nella determinazione all’agire libero. Coordinate di orientamento
2013
The topic of the essay is the relationship between time and pure practical reason in the Kant’s Theory of the free determination of the will. We ask if the orientation of the free will to the moral law implies a specific orientation in time, in which the subject can get the sense of the absolute and urgent rational obbligation to the freedom. We analyse the dinamical aspect of the pure reason on the intermediete normative level of the maxims. We research in which kind of reference points in time are the conditions of possibility of the subversion of the empirical causality, of the turn of the subjective principles’ order, of the Revolution in Conduct of Thought. Furthermore temporal referen…

Living on a knife’s edge: Temporal conflicts in welfare service work
2012
This article considers the temporal variations of agency from the point of view of social and health care workers’ experiences and the social structures and practices of the contemporary public service sector. It is based on an interview study of 24 Finnish welfare service workers. The results show that the public service sector increasingly operates according to market principles and an economic-rationalistic framing of time, contrary to the relational understanding of time in care practices. To maintain their sense of self as skilled professionals, workers actively reassess and adjust their identities according to the exigencies of working life, but not without difficulties. The results …
Playing with Time in Digital Fiction
2015
The exceptional quality of digital fictions lies in their inherently dynamic nature, how they may be flexibly programmed to generate new content and alter the already existing contents. This adds a new temporal level, compared to traditional fictions. Digital games, especially, incorporate aspects of simulation and narration in their structure. As interactive and dynamic media form, games are specifically temporal in nature. They offer us the flexibility and preciseness of digital simulations, with the potential of psychologically engaging narrative qualities, which together open up a whole new field of experimenting with temporally dynamic media. Much of the new media fictions partake in a…
Temporality of Maternity, Chronic Pain, and Ethics: Challenging Current Narratives on Pain and Health
2021
This chapter aims to articulate new ethical possibilities made apparent during experiences of chronic pain, and suggest an ethics of temporality apparent in the mother–child relation. I also aim to bring an understanding of the complexity and diversity of subjectivities in pain and its impact on its social, intersubjective environment. The narratives of mothers who have experienced chronic pain for more than three months help articulate a gap found in the Western model of medical knowledge. I hope to shift attention from the perspective of a patient understood as an objectified object of pain and from pain as a separate object of study to a study of the concrete embodied experiences of moth…
