Estetica e oggetti quotidiani ?

2014

According to Hegel and to the romantic theory, Aesthetics is a philosophy of art. However, nowadays we can experience the beauty not only with art, but also with every product (fashion, videogames, cars, technological products). So we can query if the realm of aesthetics should hold also everyday products and how this could transform the traditional aesthetic categories.This essay aim to answer these questions. It aim furthermore to sketch the product’s theoretical foundations referring to national and international debate which have dealt with everyday aesthetics according to different point of view.

Compositional Homology and Creative Thinking

2015

The concept of homology is the most solid theoretical basis elaborated by the morphological thinking during its history. The enucleation of some general criteria for the interpretation of homology is today a fundamental tool for life sciences, and for restoring their own opening to the question of qualitative innovation that arose so powerfully in the original Darwinian project. The aim of this paper is to verify the possible uses of the concept of compositional homology in order to provide of an adequate understanding of the dynamics of creative thinking.

Analogia e omologia: la questione della filogenesi delle emozioni

2013

Aim of this paper is to outline a new evolutionary interpretation of aesthetic emotions, in the light of the most recent developments in Evolutionary Biology, in particular the so-called “Extended Synthesis of Evolution” (Pigliucci-Müller 2010). Focussing on the biological concept of homology, the Author argues that, in order to effectively understand role and evolutionary value of aesthetic emotions, it should be asked not “what aesthetic emotions are for?”, rather “what kind of constraints and homologies influence the specific “shape” of human aesthetic emotions?”. In a few words, we should move from a functionalist approach to human aesthetic emotions towards a morphological one.

Smart objects: come il digitale organizza la nostra vita

2014

Computer, tablet, smartphone are the most important everyday objects in our life because we made experiences by them; they run due to their software: so it is necessary to understand it, his form, his design and his tradeoffs to understand the role of these objects and the possibilities of a conscious use of them.

Le infinite vite delle fotografie: l’ecologia delle immagini di Joachim Schmid

2015

The turn from analogue to digital photography requires rethinking the heuristic potential of this medium: in the last century, it was produced countless photos and we lost the sense of them. What should we do with all these pictures? Joachim Schimd reflects on the abundance and proliferation of images and he works to give them a future in the age when digital technology changes our sense of what it means to take a picture. So we need an ecology of images which consists in the re-use of all the existing photos by an aesthetics of remix able to reorganize the sense of the images.

Lo spazio dei libri. Costruzione del sé, rappresentazione immaginaria, forma architettonica, incontro con l’altro

2021

Cos’è lo spazio dei libri? Il volume, frutto di una ricerca interdisciplinare, mira a rispondere a questa domanda attraverso diverse chiavi interpretative. I libri costruiscono architetture di pensieri, sviluppano percorsi immaginari eformano le identità dei lettori. La biblioteca può essere uno spazio fisico che si relaziona alla città - un edificio volto a custodire il patrimonio librario e a favorire il confronto delle idee - o uno spazio immaginario, sfondo di narrazioni letterarie e cinematografiche, o ancora uno spazio simbolico costruito attraverso l’atto della lettura e il dialogo con gli autori; in ogni caso, lo spazio dei libri è sempre un luogo di incontro con i libri e tra i lib…

Funktionskreis e Gestaltkreis: la metafora del circolo nella biologia teoretica

2014

This paper aims to examine the use of the circle metaphor within the functionalist perspective by Jakob von Uexküll and the morphological perspective by Viktor von Weizsäcker. Whereas the functionalist theory dissolves the unity of the organism in the multiplicity of functional relationships, Weizsäcker’s morphology recognizes the fundamental unity of the biological act, leading to a new concept of the living organism.
