Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe
2012
The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

Artificio e natura: alcune osservazioni sull "Aria del Tasso" di Giuseppe Tartini
2015
A penchant for folk music is recurrent in Giuseppe Tartini’s oeuvre. In particular, four movements from his violin sonatas are based on the well-known theme of the Arie del Tasso, which attracted the attention of Rousseau and Goethe during their stay in Venice. Central to his work as composer and theorist is the idea of closeness to nature ‒ far from the “bare” transcription of gondoliers’ songs in the way of a musicographer interested in ethnology. For Tartini, following the so-called “musica naturalis” of the ancient Greeks and the “music of the nations”, the term “popolare” is equivalent to simple, and simplicity is the main feature of nature. In his writings, the concept of nature frequ…
L'esilio della testimonianza in Paul Celan
2019
The essay identifies a profound link between poem and witness, both as a voice of life that is violently erased, and as an invocation of the You who saves. The poetic vocation to the witness makes its way in Celan in contrast with a lucid look at the dramatic restriction of vital horizons and with a growing inclination to suicide. But his poetic path remains until the end of his life a transformation of the way towards death from a way of cancellation to a way that goes back to life "on its own margin"
Il movimento dell'esistere tra comunicazione e riconoscimento
2021
The article develops some reflections on communication and intersubjective recognition. In particular, crossing the reflections of Mounier and Habermas, he dwells on the dialectic between identity and difference as a central dynamic of the anthropological structure. Communication is an element that pervades human existence; through it images of the world are constructed and practical modalities are activated. The human being experiences and understands reality through communicative interaction. It is an original act of existence, the means to build humanized societies through the grammar of recognizing the other
Il “corpo proprio” e il sentire in comune: Empfindung, Einfühlung, Mitgefühl. La dinamica del sentire e la questione dell’empatia fra Sulzer ed Herder
2022
The contribution aims to identify some theoretical lines that cross the German Enlightenment reflection from Leibniz and Wolff to Herder, focusing on the relationship between oneself and otherness, between the dimension of “one’s own body” and the theme of “feeling in common”. Thus, we propose to identify some of the flow lines along which reflection on empathy develops. Keywords: Empathy, German Enlightenment, Herder, Self and Otherness, Sulzer
Rappresentazioni e territorio nelle dinamiche del turismo: il caso della Lonely Planet Sicily
2018
L’attuale dibattito sul riordino territoriale del Paese rende nuovamente centrale il concetto di territorio che, da sempre, in una prospettiva geografica pone problemi definitori. Esso può essere, infatti, oggetto di produzioni simboliche e (ri)semantizzazioni in grado di ridefinirlo e di creare specifiche modalità di interazione. A questo proposito, il presente lavoro intende proporre una riflessione su alcune dinamiche di produzione e riproduzione simbolica che interessano il concetto di territorio nel turismo, ambito in cui si può osservare una relazione diretta tra rappresentazione del territorio (intesa anche come narrazione) e possibilità d’azione. In particolare, attraverso il caso s…
Teoria politica e lo spazio greco dell'alterità
2017
In her article, Viviana Segreto means to reconstruct the theoretical genealogy of political relationship between citizenship in the polis and otherness, that’s to say the foreigner, the barbarous. Through the analysis of Plato texts and of some contemporary scholars regarding classic thinking, the author stresses the organization of political space in Athens in its practices of exclusion and inclusion, disciplined by kratos and nomos, and so she traces a lines of political subjectivation.

The search for identity in the narrative stylistic and poetic study
2016
This dissertation deals with the quest for narrative identity in four distinct narratives: Le Premier Homme, by Albert Camus; Les Oliviers de la justice, by Jean Pélégri; Ébauche du père, by Jean Sénac; and Outremer, by Morgan Sportes. The authors of these narratives belonged to the community of French people born in Algeria and, later on, to that of the pieds-noirs. The texts examine mainly the end of French Algeria. This accounts for the reference to the years 1954-1962, among other periods of time, and to the tragic consequences these years led to, including exile and uprooting. The designation “French Algeria” in itself contains at least a dual reference to identity, if not referring to…
