Vintage violence. La strana violenza del cinema di Losey
2015
Los textos sobre la violencia tienden a dar por sentado este concepto. En este artículo se intentará esbozar una definición semiótica a través de una breve relectura de algunos clásicos y de algunas entradas de vocabulario, para sugerir una caracterización de la violencia como dispositivo semiótico: una articulación de dos figuras diferentes de agresión («laceración»/«constricción») contra un umbral convencional. Esta hipótesis se desarrolla en el análisis de las películas de Joseph Losey, donde la violencia aparece de muchas formas, pero nunca llega a ser (con raras excepciones) totalmente explícita o espectacular. El artículo reconsidera el análisis de Gilles Deleuze en L’Image-Mouvement,…
Crimini contro le donne. Storie di violenza nel Mezzogiorno medievale
2021
Il contributo si propone, attraverso lo studio della documentazione edita ed inedita del Mezzogiorno peninsulare e insulare, di mettere a fuoco la violenza perpetrata contro le donne in contesti sia urbani sia rurali nel tardo Medioevo. Il ricorso alla violenza appare frequente soprattutto nei casi di tradimento e concubinato che vedono implicati anche altri membri delle famiglie coinvolte. La violenza coniugale, con varie sfaccettature, è presente in buona parte della documentazione esaminata: una violenza spesso accettata socialmente, a cui le donne seppero in alcuni casi reagire, rivolgendosi alla giustizia. I privilegi reali, infine, illustrano la posizione indulgente dell’autorità regi…

The Relationship Between Internalized Homophobia and Intimate Partner Violence in Same-Sex Relationships: A Meta-Analysis

The results showed positive and statistically significant associations between internalized homophobia and IPV perpetration and victimization, indicating that higher levels of internalized homophobia were related to higher levels of IPV. Specifically, the pooled effect size for the relat…

The Domestication of the Other. Hermes, the Lyre and the Satyrs between Violence and Civilization
2012
Within the general frame of violence and its representations in Ancient Greece, this paper focuses on the myth of Hermes inventing the lyre and on the relationship between this god and the Satyrs. The representation of Satyrs on vessels used at Symposia clearly shows the civilizing effects of music, that allows a shift from “savagery” to “culture”, and from the “other” to the “self”.
