The use of the French adjective “malsain” (usually translated in English as “unhealthy,” “unwholesome” or “sick”) to judge a work of art has led me to question the relevance of this metaphor, the way this value is determined, the reasons which lead the subject to consume shocking material and the possibility to distinguish art from mere symptom. I consider the unhealthy, on the one hand, as a relation of transmission which produces an aesthetic based on metaphor and metonymy, and on the other, as a subjective value delivered by a self or a law, and I argue that, as it is entirely discursive, the unhealthy is in effect an uncanny metonymy. I show that the works under study represent and cond…

Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo

2021

In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…

Yes when as in a "world upside down" having defeated fascism under the weight of a humiliating and bloody defeat it will be precisely the hated English who will enhance his intellectual stature and the new democratic Italy to allow him to have an irresistible academic rise and scientific.Settore M-STO/04 - Storia ContemporaneaSettore M-DEA/01 - Discipline DemoetnoantropologicheIn this essay the relationship between Giuseppe Cocchiara and fascism is reconstructed.

Tolkien's Land of Heroes : Fëanor, a tragic hero of Middle-Earth in comparison to Seppo Ilmarinen from the Kalevala

2013

Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli analysoida Fëanoria, fantasiakirjailija J.R.R. Tolkienin luomaa fiktiivistä sankarihahmoa. Kuvaileva kirjallisuustutkimus jakaantui kahteen osaan: Toisaalta Fëanoria verrattiin traagisen sankarin käsitteeseen käyttämällä Aristoteleen Runousopissa (330-320 eKr.) kuvailemia sääntöjä ja vaatimuksia. Toisaalta Fëanoria verrattiin Kalevalan myyttiseen seppähahmoon, Seppo Ilmariseen. Fëanoria ja Seppo Ilmarista vertailemalla tarkasteltiin myös yleisemmin J.R.R. Tolkienin teosten ja Kalevalan, Suomen kansalliseepoksen välistä vuorovaikutussuhdetta. Tutkimuksen materiaalina käytettiin Kalevalan lisäksi J.R.R. Tolkienin Silmarillionia, joka on suurilta o…

Turystyka miejsc pamięci - zwrot ku lokalności

2016

W pracy przedstawiono zjawisko podróżowania do miejsc pamięci ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich lokalnego charakteru. Za przykład do omówienia wybrano miejsca pamięci bezpośrednio związane z grupą zawodową górników, a dokładnie poświęcone ofiarom tragicznych wydarzeń w kopalniach. W ostatnich kilku latach wzrasta wśród turystów zainteresowanie górniczymi miejscami pamięci, co ma bezpośredni związek z funkcjonowaniem ścieżki turystyczno-krajoznawczej „Śladami ofiar górniczego stanu”, która powstała z inicjatywy członków Koła Kolarskiego „Sokół” Oddziału PTTK Radlin.

Euripides’Andromache, a Choral Tragedy

2013

Andrómaca es una tragedia coral por diversas razones: por el papel tan singular que el coro desempeña en ella desde el comienzo mismo; y porque en ella, a través de dos mujeres enfrentadas, Andrómaca y Hermíone, convergen en la trama dramática una serie de parejas/tríos que marcan el discurrir de unas sagas épico-dramáticas de gran rendimiento en la tradición cultural y literaria griega. Es también una tragedia coral porque en ella se alcanza el destino fi nal de las dos partes implicadas en la mayor guerra mítica de la Antigüedad. Andromache is a choral tragedy because the singular role of the chorus in the whole play and because in its plot there is a group of couples/trios, which lead th…
