Animal Subjects?
2022
A revised theory of animal subjectivity among Posthumanism, Animal Science and Continental Philosophy
Overcoming Postmodernity? Reconsidering Animal Life from Heidegger to Derrida
2018
In this paper, I would like to approach the question of language as crucial for the difference between human and non-human animals in the scenario cast by contemporary continental philosophy. I would also like to use this and other topics as a chance to take some general considerations on postmodernity into account, the latter intended as the historical condition in which we are supposed to live.
Pandemia e vita animale
2020
The article starts from the implications of man's mistreatment of animals and the explosion of zoonotic diseases such as COVID-19 and traces back man's lack of care toward animality to the roots of history of culture and philosophy, also giving some hints to a different consideration of animal life in our environment.
Dal cane-cibo al dog restaurant
2017
Gastronomic discourse often calls into question issues surrounding animality, but it’s not only the imposition of Paleo or vegetarian diets encouraging or banning the consumption of meat which are becoming increasingly popular subjects. New trends in animal foods such as the appearance and growth of dog restaurants or the increase in attention being given to the nutritional quality of dry dog food are becoming important areas of discussion too, and while some traditionalists will always view the dog as a beast, contrasting progressive ideas are now being aired in the media. In this article we will talk about food philosophies and restaurants (both human and animal) to showhowthey communicat…

Sacrificio in regime mediatico. Dal fatto al senso, e ritorno
2019
Today we live in a society and in a historical moment that is losing the sense of sacrifice, that is the pertinent interweavings that bind - with respect to the theme of the meat diet and the preliminary killing of the animal for food - man and animals, man and other men through the animal, the animal with other animals through man, not without the necessary inclusion of the cultural context, on the one hand, and divinity and the sacred, on the other. If meaning is given - according to the dictate of semiotics - in the networks of relations that compose it (where - according to the structuralist dictate - relations are primary and related elements secondary), the loss of the sense of sacrif…
Animismi animali
2023
Poco tempo fa, a un pranzo domenicale, conversavo con una signora di mezz’età sulle vacanze estive appena trascorse. «Lasciamo perdere», mi dice, «oramai sono diventata la nonna dei cani». La signora mi spiega che i suoi due figli, precari, convivono con le rispettive fidanzate, ma non osano far figli sicché hanno preso, ognuno, una coppia di canòni, di non so quale pregiatissima razza, che amano alla follia e che durante le ferie e i sabato sera vengono, manco a dirlo, depositati a casa dei genitori, cioè della mia dirimpettaia di tavola, che ama immensamente i suoi ragazzi e tutto ciò che essi emanano, al punto da sacrificare le proprie meritate vacanze per accudire quei quadrupedi decisa…
