Il seminario comprendeva diversi incontri durante i quali studiosi di diversi ambiti disciplinari hanno dibattuto su concetti, nozioni e oggetti che si pongono al crocevia tra le discipline dell’antropologia, della storia dell’arte, della semiotica, degli studi culturali, della visual culture, delineando talvolta fenomeni di ibridazione delle pratiche artistiche ed etnografiche e, talvolta, di dissolvenza delle …

A hermeneutical genealogy of the poeticization of signs in Nietzsche’s philosophy of body
2016
The main objective of this article is to show that Nietzsche’s genealogy reveals the semiotic and hermeneutical character of all human activities and that its origin is rooted in the body of the imaginative animal, especially in the poeticizing power of its imagination. Thus is revealed the great signifi cance of Nietzsche’s philosophy of body, which provides a more complete approach for transforming contemporary philosophy, and can also help us to move past current neurophilosophy.
The Role of Ciphering in Phenomenology of Life
2004
Contemporary philosophy is inseparable from the general tendencies of spiritual life that have dominated over the past centuries. The ruling tendency of European-type philosophy has been the affirmation of a democratic life style, liberal values and human individuality and creative activity. The testimony to this is the proportional growth of the philosophy of subjectivism since modern times, the division of pure practical reason and reasoning into separate spheres to substantiate fundamental human abilities, to analyse the ways of grasping the world — such as cognition, understanding, intuition, deciphering, experience — and describe man’s correlation with beingness (cosmos). Epistemology …
Important thoughts on images and words
2015
Both images and words have their unique materiality that tends to be forgotten or bypassed in our modern times and perhaps in particular in our technology-driven contemporary culture. This oblivion...
DIONYSIAN BIOPOLITICS: KARL KERÉNYI’S CONCEPT OF INDESTRUCTIBLE LIFE
2014
Scholar of religion Karl Kerenyi's last book, Dionysos, is a grand attempt at reinterpreting ζωη (zoe), the Greek concept of indestructible life, which he distinguishes from βίος (bios), finite life. In Kerenyi's view, the meaning and sensual experience of zoe was expressed in its richest form in the Cretan beginnings of the cult of Dionysos. The major characteristics of this cult, as Kerenyi describes, were beyond the cultural, political, and sexual limits of the Christian interpretations of life and nature. Searching for modern analogies to zoe, Kerenyi explains the idea in relation to molecular biology's minimum definition of life. Despite the fact that Kerenyi's book contains only minor…
‘Soft’ Snaring of the Coronary Artery in Minimally-Invasive Coronary Surgery
1998
A technique is described that allows a simple and safe temporary occlusion of the coronary artery in beating heart procedures using monofilament stay sutures underlaid with small pericardial pads. Postoperative serial levels of Troponin I remained low (<4 ng/L) and control angiography revealed no stenosis in the distal coronary artery.
Effects of the novel polymer gel LeGoo on human internal thoracic arteries.
2011
Purpose Established hemostatic devices can injure vessel wall integrity. LeGoo (Pluromed, Woburn, MA), a novel poloxamer gel with reverse thermosensitive properties, is a new device for temporary occlusion of blood vessels. The present study investigated the effects of LeGoo on vascular function and morphology. Description The distal end of the human internal thoracic artery was used to assess vascular function of LeGoo-applied segments in organ bath experiments and by scanning electron microscopy. Evaluation After LeGoo application, both maximal contractile responses to noradrenaline and endothelium-dependent relaxant responses to acetylcholine were significantly reduced. Scanning electron…
Lope and the Creation of Contemporary Heroes: «La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo de Córdoba» y «La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz»
2013
Lope defended the usefulness of history presented on stage, that is, theatre’s function of preserving and creating a collective memory. In the case of La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo and La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz, this playwright dramatized military events that took place immediately before the composition of these plays. In this article i will analyze the fundamental traits of those texts in relation to Lope’s desire to please his patrons and, at the same time, to participate in the making of a Spanish national identity, which intensified during the first years of king Philip IV’s reign through different media, among them painting and theatre. This paper ends reflecting …
Filosofías del don: Usos y abusos de la donación en la ética contemporánea
2013
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el concepto de donación en la ética contemporánea. Este análisis se realiza en tres momentos: el primero se sitúa en la introducción y muestra que es un concepto importante en el que convergen la fenomenología, el personalismo y la hermenéutica. Esta convergencia no solo supone un uso frecuente del concepto sino un abuso del mismo cuando se construye de espalda a las mediaciones objetivas o institucionales que lo condicionan. El segundo presenta una antropología del don y muestra su relación con los objetos, la reciprocidad, la deuda y la libertad. En el tercer momento se describe la filosofía de la donación de Paul Ricoeur, donde se comprueba un uso…
