El nost Milan: il rap dei ‘nuovi italiani', tra riappropriazioni urbane e rivendicazioni identitarie
2019
italianoFin dai suoi esordi, la cultura hip-hop e stata attraversata da una forte connotazione in senso spaziale, che ne ha variamente contraddistinto i diversi elementi. La citta post-industriale, specie lungo i suoi margini e nei suoi interstizi, rappresenta infatti un sito cruciale a partire dal quale la storia ma, soprattutto, la geografia del rap sono andate col tempo costruendosi. Obiettivo di questo articolo e di riflettere criticamente sulla relazione fra rap e spazi urbani in Italia alla luce delle complesse costruzioni culturali, sociali e politiche che la sottendono, con particolare riferimento a due rapper milanesi della cosiddetta generazione dei nuovi italiani, Zanko e Ghali. …
VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE IN INSULAR ITALY: HERITAGE TO PRESERVE AND VALUE
2021
The Mediterranean civilisation, in its millenary history, has also expressed itself through particular artefacts that have strongly characterised the territory. Knowledge of the artefacts that "qualify" a territory, both in historical and material terms, is a necessary prerequisite for tackling the planning and management problems relating to their protection and conservation. The architecture of the "vernacular" is linked to domestic life, customs, the "dialects" of places and the essence of the Genius Loci. The building heritage of the islands surrounding Sicily features special building techniques and systems that exploit natural resources to generate original artefacts and extremely fun…
Dry stone buildings in Sicily. An environmental and territorial resource
2013
Dry stone constructions are widespread throughout many regions across the world, in a wide variety of forms, according to the environmental and socio-economic contexts, and constitute a valuable know-how which is today in danger of disappearing. In Sicily dry stone works have traditionally been used in the area of Val di Noto where they constitute a key character of the landscape, and in the Madonie Mounts in which some policies of enhancement have been recently initiated. In the framework of the Grundtvig programme “La préservation du patrimoine architectural bâti en pierre sèche”, an in-depth analysis of these architectures have been pursued, aiming to create a database inventory. This pa…
« Deirdre O’Mahony, artiste et archéologue des savoirs techniques indigènes »
2022
Les projets participatifs et collaboratifs de l’artiste irlandaise Deirdre O’Mahony, ancrés dans le monde rural du Burren, valorisent le patrimoine vernaculaire et les savoir-faire indigènes. Ses recherches de terrain portant sur l’évolution du paysage abordé comme milieu et les collaborations multiples qu’elle entreprend aboutissent à des propositions artistiques revisitant le land art. Ses interventions dans le paysage sont souvent complétées par des propositions dialogiques, dont le repas partagé, qui invite les participants à explorer l’histoire des lieux, les jeux de pouvoir qui s’y tissent et la pertinence des savoirs vernaculaires pour les enjeux de demain, notamment en matière de sé…
L’analogia i el paral·lelisme en l’estil proverbial de Ramon Llull
2022
Ramon Llull és autor d’un extens i excepcional corpus de proverbis, distribuït en cinc reculls que va escriure principalment entre 1295 i 1302. En aquest article, després de contextualitzar les col·leccions en el marc de la trajectòria intel·lectual de Llull, de presentar els seus trets més remarcables i de repassar breument alguns aspectes de la teoria paremiològica sobre els marcadors proverbials, s’analitza l’ús d’un conjunt de procediments retòrics en la formulació dels enunciats, en especial la personificació i el paral·lelisme, el qual es posa en relació amb les funcions i les aplicacions pràctiques que Llull mateix preveu per als seus proverbis.
