Lacune. Una rilettura delle "Affinità elettive" di J. W. Goethe
2022
Possiamo affermare che lo spatial turn nella teoria letteraria, oggi si è definitivamente compiuto. Gli studi su letteratura e geografia, su letteratura e spazio, su letteratura e cartografia fanno bella mostra di sé nelle biblioteche di tutto il mondo. Ne sono derivati innumerevoli vantaggi sul piano di una teoria letteraria sensibile ai cultural turns: l’emancipazione della critica letteraria dalla sua irriducibile testolatria – necessaria in particolare dopo la sbornia decostruzionista – il contenimento del suo etnocentrismo e del suo eurocentri- smo, il riposizionamento della discorsività nei saperi e nelle prassi geografiche, lo sviluppo di modelli performativi nell’analisi letteraria,…
Foreign literature as poison: (self-)censorship in the translation of German popular fiction in Italy during the 1930s
2018
Between the 1920s and 1930s, the translation of foreign contemporary novels into Italian was encouraged by publishers, meeting the needs of a new readership, which was larger and more heterogeneous than before the war. However, the sharp rise in the number of imported novels provoked strong disapproval. In a context of heightened nationalism and cultural autocracy, translation was considered a polluting, anti-patriotic and servile practice. The censorship that took place, however, was mostly implemented via a tacit compromise between the publishers and the regime, rather than by repressive institutional actions. In order to protect themselves from sanctions and requisitions, publishers and …
Il Consiglio coloniale e il Consiglio speciale nella Guyana francese: tra emancipazione e discriminazione (1840-1842)
2020
On 24 April 1833, Louis Philippe of Orléans signed the law replacing the General Councils with the Colonial Councils. By a circular dated 18 July 1840 from the Minister of the Navy and the Colonies, Special Councils were also established in the four French coloniesin orderto provide documents and opinions on the abolition of slavery. This paper analyses French Guiana, starting from the different composition of the two Councils and, then, from the different interestsrepresented therein. The aim is to reconstruct the debate on slavery conducted between 1840 and 1842 in the two Councils, and, consequently, to highlight and compare the proposalsforsocial and institutional changes they contextua…
Catholics in the Irish Parliament: Daniel O'Connell and his influence in Italy
2014
Daniel O'Connell (Cahersiveen 1775 - Genoa 1847), an Irish politician and patriot, fought for Catholic Emancipation, to repeal the penal laws discriminating Irish Catholics and the Act of Union. Believing firmly in non-violence, he defended the representation of Irish Catholics in Parliament as the most appropriate instrument to support their rights. His thoughts and actions were spread and known in Italy and Europe while some Catholics were arguing on a possible reconciliation between religion and freedom and on the resulting openness to the principles of democracy and to the problem of representation. The Theatine Gioacchino Ventura from Palermo, one of the leaders of the Sicilian 1848 re…
"Quand les gauches modernisent les droites : de quelques réformes giscardiennes (1974-1976) ?
2013
International audience; Les différentes lois libérales de la période 1974-1976 changent la vie des Françaises et de Français, répondant aux enjeux du moment. Elles restent et sont à l’actif du Président de la République, V. Giscard d'Estaing et de son septennat, mais elles ont été adoptées grâce à l’apport des voix des parlementaires de gauche. Ces principales réformes ont donc concerné des questions de société et soulignent un volontarisme politique. Si les gauches parlementaires participent à cette modernisation, il ne faut pas oublier qu’elles accompagnent un mouvement social antérieur en relayant des aspirations diffuses dans la société, et notamment dans ses fractions urbaines...
Slancio missionario e «vocazione» coloniale nella Guyana francese della prima metà del XIX secolo : il «Nuovo Paraguay» di Anne-Marie Javouhey
2019
Nel 1828, a Mana in Guyana, Anne-Marie Javouhey fu l’artefice di un esperimento societario complesso, tra suggestioni del socialismo utopistico e riduzioni gesuite del XVII secolo, che sarebbe diventato un laboratorio per il riscatto degli europei emarginati e per l’emancipazione dei neri d’Africa portati nelle colonie. In 1828, in Mana, in French Guyana, Anne-Marie Javouhey was the maker of a complex society experiment, between suggestions of utopian socialism and Jesuit reductions of the seventeenth century, which would become a laboratory for the redemption of marginalized Europeans and for the emancipation of the blacks of Africa brought to the colonies.

El derecho humano a la creación artística más allá de las identidades colectivas: una propuesta propedéutica
2022
El propósito de esta reflexión es la de analizar el contenido del derecho humano a la creación artística de los individuos per se, independientemente de que su obra pueda enmarcarse dentro de las manifestaciones culturales propias o características de una determinada identidad colectiva. Igualmente, el trabajo trata de responder a la cuestión acerca de si las condiciones materiales de los artistas deben verse satisfechas por el mercado o si es predicable algún tipo de deber por parte de los poderes públicos que garanticen la existencia de creadores artísticos libres y con ello la emancipación del individuo y el carácter plural y democrático de una sociedad. The purpose of this reflection is…
Erfahrungstransfer aus der Schweiz an das nationalsozialistische Deutschland. Ricarda Huchs Frühling in der Schweiz
2020
The article presents Ricarda Huchs attitude towards the dictatorship of natio- nal socialism in Germany, from which the writer officially disbanded herself in 1933 by resigning from the membership of the Prussian Academy of Fine Arts and concluding at the same time that the Germanness in her opinion does not mean centralization of power, brutal methods and diffusion of people who think differently. This attitude is reflected in the autobiographical text of 1938, Friihling in der Schweiz [Spring in Switzerland] which refers to the experiences and observations of the writer during her stay in Switzerland in 1887-1896. Those memoirs serve as a kind of political message which simultaneously sho…
Cycle de conférences "Emancipation par le savoir", Conférence 1 Erri De Luca
2022
L’université est une fabrique de savoirs et nous, enseignants-chercheurs, sommes les passeurs de ces savoirs. Nous nous inscrivons dans la lignée des philosophes des Lumières qui chérissaient le savoir comme un moyen d’émancipation, l’instruction permettant aux individus d’acquérir les compétences intellectuelles pour se libérer des dominations. Tout comme les Lumières, confrontés aux enjeux de civilisation de notre temps – enjeux climatiques, enjeux géopolitiques, enjeux économiques et énergétiques – nous faisons aussi l’expérience qu’il faut oser le savoir : « Sapere aude ! » nous dit Kant. Le savoir est un défi permanent, une conquête, un manifeste, un commencement jamais une fin ; savoi…
