«Poeni foedifragi, crudelis Hannibal, reliqui iustiores» (off. i 38) Cicerone e gli exempla a proposito delle guerre puniche
2021
In a section of the De officiis, Book i, Cicero deals with the justice of warfare. He asserts that the enemies defeated who were not cruel and savage should be spared, so the maiores utterly destroyed Carthage and Numantia (i 35). In i 38 Cicero refers to the wars undertaken by Romans, distinguishing the ones waged de imperio (as the Punic wars) from the others fighted uter esset (as the wars against Celtiberi and Cimbri): the first must be fought less cruelly, but Cicero justifies the destruction of Carthage with the sentence Poeni foedifragi, crudelis Hannibal, reliqui iustiores, probably containing a quotation from Ennius’s Annales. These passages, examined in comparison with historical …
Finns in the Colonial World
2021
AbstractUtilizing such concepts as “colonial complicity” and “colonialism without colonies”, this chapter examines the case of Finns and Finland as a nation that was once oppressed but also itself complicit in colonialism. It argues that although the Finnish nation has historically been positioned in Europe between western and eastern empires, Finns were not only passive victims of (Russian) imperial rule but also active participants in the creation of imperial vocabulary in various colonial contexts, including Sápmi in the North.This chapter argues that although Finns never had overseas colonies, they were involved in the colonial world, sending out colonizers and producing images of colon…

L'ideologia imperiale di Giangiorgio Trissino tra teoria e pratica poetica nell'Italia del primo Cinquecento
2019
The very long 27 books ofL'Italia liberata dai Goti in loose verses, composed by Giangiorgio Trissino (1478-1550) in the early 1920s, found an epic poetry model that intends to respond to the crisis of the Italian states, aggravated after 1494 , and the political-cultural necessity of a founding myth, which the poet traces back to the Gothic war fought on the Italian peninsula between 535 and 553. As we will try to illustrate by rereading some passages of the epic poem, the pro-imperial option of the Vicenza literate, anachronistic and conservative, however, recognizes in the work and figure of the emperor Charles V of Habsburg ideals of unity, justice and universal peace and aligns with th…
Amerykański Światowid. Cztery oblicza kompleksu militarno-przemysłowo-medialnego
2017
Svetovid is a Slavic four-headed god, which could be a metaphor of American militaryindustrial-media complex. Aim of this article is to analyze four main dimensions of mentioned above complex. First, probably the most obvious face of the complex are military interventions abroad, especially after World War II in the Greater Middle East. Second face is a wasteful character of the military spending, inefficiency of the military and corporate bureaucracies. Third element is presence of the militarism in the society, especially in American schools, which becomes vehicles for the army recruitment process. Last face of the military-industrial-media complex is a cultural one, epitomized by the fil…

Another Baltic Postcolonialism: Young Latvians, Baltic Germans, and the emergence of Latvian National Movement
2014
This article looks at the emergence of Latvian nationalism in the mid-nineteenth century from the intercultural perspective of postcolonial theory. The writings of early Young Latvians, and the reaction to them from the dominant Baltic German elite, show that the emergence of a modern Latvian nationalism is to a large extent due to postcolonial mimicry, as described by Homi Bhabha. Attempts to imitate German cultural models and to develop a Latvian high culture lead to hostile reactions from the German side, which, in their turn, lead to increasing consolidation of Latvian nationalism. Since the Baltic German elite increasingly legitimized its rule in terms of cultural superiority, the Youn…
