Quattro diagnosi sul florario di Francesco Buti per le villanelle di Girolamo Kapsperger
2009
Il messaggio etico dei testi di Francesco Buti per i "Fiori" di Girolamo Kapsperger (villanelle a 1,2,3,4 voci e Bc. del 1632) e la ricercata semplicità della musica giustificano la scelta anacronistica e stilisticamente inappropriata della titolazione di genere scelta da Kapsperger o dall’editore Masotti. Il termine villanella allude in questo caso a un giardino in cui i fiori formano un mazzetto di allegorie per il buon cristiano. Più specificamente i soggetti riguardano i miti classici collegati ai vegetali, ai quali si ispira l’autore per riprendere le leggende sull’origine dal sangue o dal latte degli dei, da cui nacquero per metamorfosi il gelsomino, la viola, la rosa, l’amaranto, l’a…
The European Flag According to Paolo Fabbri
2021
Too often we consider symbols in our cultures to be indivisible monoliths that can only be interpreted through the connotations they take on over time. This is due, on one hand, to their compact nature, the correspondence between the planes of expression and content that make them appear solid, impossible to break down. However, it is also true that in the majority of cases we inherit ready-made symbols that seem to have been born with their current shape, with no hint as to the processes that have made them this way. As a rule, there are so many, varied meanings of the word “symbol” that, in the absence of a clear, consensual hypothesis on what a symbol is, they can be difficult to read. A…
Ruolo della morfologia nel processo epistemologico della città tra contesti, sistemi e iconologia
2021
Nel formulare un “punto di vista” sul tema centrale della morfologia “strutturale” dell’architettura e della città, proverò a sviluppare delle riflessioni di ordine epistemico comprese, talvolta, tra logiche analitiche semantiche e interpretazioni critico-relazionali1. Un iniziale approccio teorico costituto da quelle forme che Foucault (1969) avrebbe definito “dispositivi” e che svolgono il ruolo di operatori analitici e di principi progettuali. Attraverso tali ragionamenti cercherò di ricondurre la discussione verso l’indagine del rapporto tra logiche dell’analisi morfologica e fenomeno architettonico, tra tipologia e aspetti metodologici del progetto approdando a quelle forme di lettura …
The beatles: tradition, avant-garde... and expressiveness
2019
Resumen: La música de The Beatles, tras su enorme éxito a través del tiempo, esconde diversos secretos que hunden sus raíces no solo en las tendencias coetáneas más evidentes -Pop Art, hippismo, cómic-, sino también en otras mucho más alejadas y sorprendentes que se refieren al manejo de las emociones, desde diversas herramientas armónicas procedentes de la música académica con la manifiesta influencia de las artes visuales, la pintura, la fotografía o la iconología sobre los álbumes del grupo. La continua búsqueda expresiva en The Beatles convirtió la música de la banda de Liverpool en una síntesis perfecta entre vanguardia y tradición a causa de la convergencia entre texto y sonido y, sob…

Las pinturas alegórico-mitológicas del palacio Palmerola de Barcelona y su relación con Cesare Ripa
2019
ABSTRACT: This study unveils the meaning of the allegorical-mythological murals, shaped like false sculptures, which frame the scenes of a historical-familial nature decorating the salon of the Palmerola Palace in Barcelona. They were painted at the end of the XVIIIth century by Pedro Pablo Montaña, whose primary literary source was the Iconologyby Cesare Ripa. Based on this text, the painter builds the visual language, whose fidelity to the source is a paradigmatic example of utilization of this source. My research also results in the correction of previous misinterpretations, thus offering a richer and more comprehensive view of the pictorial ensemble.

Cesare Ripa y la portada de la iglesia de Pájara, en Fuerteventura
2013
ABSTRACT: Iconology , the important book of allegories and attributes compiled by Cesare Ripa in 1593, was a major source for understanding the symbolic art of the culture of the period. Its application affected the visual practice of arts and architecture. In Pajara (Fuerteventura. Canary Islands), there is a temple whose main facade draws on symbols that seem to be influenced by Ripa's work: elements of Nature and zoomorphic, animistic and material representations with a decided spiritual and cosmogonic charge. In the context of Baroque culture, the symbols recorded on the facade proclaim the triumph of the Reformed Church. KEY WORDS: Seventeenth Century Architecture. Iconography. Iconolo…

Securitizing images: The female body and the war in Afghanistan
2012
Referring to the recent ‘visual turn’ in Critical Security Studies, the aim of this article is threefold. First, by taking the concept of visual securitization one step further, we intend to theorize the image as an iconic act understood as an act of showing and seeing. This turn to the performativity of the visual directs our attention to the securitizing power of images. Second, this article addresses the methodological challenges of analysing images and introduces an iconological approach. Iconology enables the systematic interpretation of images as images by also taking their social embeddedness into account. In the third part of this article we apply this theoretical and methodologica…
WhatsApp iconology: narratives on in-app photographic practices in (transnational) family communication
2023
Sharing photographs and photo-chatting are common practices in doing family at a distance. This study looks at the processes of the production and circulation of photographs within the family network, analysing participants’ narratives about their image-based communication in WhatsApp. The data was collected as an ethnographic enquiry into the digitally mediated (transnational) family communication of five Polish women and their children living in Finland. It consists of five auto-driven visual elicitation interviews with an interactive collage, three elicitation interviews, with the participant’s smartphone used for fast reference to their in-app chats, and one semi-structured interview. T…
