Auschwitz, la vergüenza y el sujeto posmoderno
2002
Bastante de la literatura sobre Auschwitz que posee interés filosófico ha aparecido en el curso de los últimos diez o quince años. Esto pone de manifiesto que la herida dejada por aquella devastadora experiencia sigue sin cicatrizar, no sólo en el alma de quienes la padecieron y sobrevivieron a ella, sino también en la conciencia intelectual de nuestro tiempo.
A work of “total” art. Phenomenology of the Italian memorial in Auschwitz
2016
In 1978 the Italian Association ANED (national association of people formerly deported to nazi camps) starts the design and implementation of a Memorial, to tell the story of the Italian deportation, shaping it with respect to the inner space of one of the existing blocks on the site of the extermination camp in Auschwitz (Block 21). From the first project idea, the art potentiality was assumed as the most suitable instrument for the construction of memory. The Memorial was configured, in fact, as a true work of total art, coincidence of intention and perfect synthesis of the various arts in compliance with the same program: a choral work, a work of artists and intellectuals who, each accor…

Fenomenologia di un’opera d’arte “totale”

Phenomenology of a work of "total" art The Italian memorial at Auschwitz From the first project idea, the initiative ANED for the construction of a Memorial was aimed to tell the tragic story of the Italian deportation, and had founded in the potential of art the most suitable tool for the construction of memory. The Memorial was configured as a true work of total art, coincidence of intention and perfect synthesis of the various arts in compliance with the same program: a choral work, work of artists and intellectuals who, each in its own jurisdiction, had composed it like an "organic" system in the deep sharing of the ultimate meaning of the thinking and doing. Starting from these premise…

Block 21 and the Pensabilità of the Representation of Auschwitz
2012
Abstract Building on the assumption that the Memorial in Honor of Italians Fallen in Nazi Extermination Camps (situated in Auschwitz I, Block 21) expresses the meta-reflexive inclination that strengthened the twentieth century (the capacity of that century to think of itself as a subject), this article aims to highlight and illustrate the dual philosophical significance of the Memorial. From the perspective of the philosophy of history, this philosophical significance, which has a symbolic value, leads us to investigate an organic and historically embodied conception of deportation. From the perspective of the aesthetics of memory, this philosophical meaning offers a new framework for the …
The Original Position and the Rationality of Primo Levi's Shame
2016
Contrary to what he expected, Primo Levi didn’t experience his life after being released from Auschwitz as cheerful and light-hearted. He – like many other survivors – was haunted by an obscure and solid anguish that he finally identified as springing from a sense of shame or guilt in front of those who were exterminated in the Lager. Levi was unable to either acknowledge his shame as rational or reject it as irrational. This looks, though, like a rather unstable situation calling for some further elucidation. I will thus examine Levi’s shame in light of the dominant conception of practical deliberation and, more specifically, in view of the the role that John Rawls ascribes to the original…

L'articolo tratta del Memoriale di Auschwitz, costruito da Ludovico Belgioioso, con una grande tela di Pupino Samonà, e con la partecipazione di Luigi Nono e di Primo Levi, che rischia di essere smembrato e distrutto.
Il Lager per famiglie di Theresienstadt (BIIb) a Birkenau (settembre 1943 - luglio 1944)
2008
Il saggio di M. Kàrny ricostruisce la vicenda del "Familienlager" del settore BII2 di Auschwitz-Birkenuau, costituito nel settembre del 1943 e destinato ad accogliere poco più di 50.000 deportati provenienti dal ghetto di Theresienstadt. Tra la fine del 1943 e la primavera del 1944 vennero trasferite nel medesimo Lager altre 12.500 persone, che vi rimasero sino alla definitiva liquidazione avvenuta nel luglio 1944. Il saggio rivela l'esistenza di un'attività musicale all'interno del Lager e costituisce un elemento di fondamentale importanza - sino ad ora del tutto inedito in Italia - per la ricostruzione della storia del ghetto di Theresienstadt e gli sviluppi della sua vita culturale e mus…
