Utopía, derecho y moral en Mi lucha de K. O. Knausgård
2020
La novela autobiográfica de Knausgård es un caso paradigmático para el análisis del vínculo entre derecho y literatura, porque permite tener tres perspectivas del mismo: la del derecho en, de y como literatura. En este artículo se hace hincapié en la primera. La tesis que se defiende es que la problemática postura de Knausgård de hablar de “utopía nazi” es comprensible si se la compara con los problemas de hablar de un derecho nazi. Siendo el aspecto más criticable el relativismo moral que sustenta dicha concepción, que le impide tener una visión más cabal del elemento justificativo de las utopías y del derecho. Knausgård's autobiographical novel is a paradigmatic case for the analysis of t…

Introduzione a Il comunismo ed il socialismo
2023
Antonio Rosmini anticipa in questa sua opera, elaborata nel 1847 e pubblicata nel 1849, alcune tra le questioni che in seguito saranno addebitate alle soluzioni politiche sviluppate nell’ambito del materialismo storico e dialettico. Il comunismo ed il socialismo permane ancora una lettura interessante e stimolante per osservare con spirito critico le idee e i fatti della storia politica di metà Ottocento, offrendo al lettore le ragioni profonde delle analisi rosminiane sulla possibilità di una società migliore nel segno della giustizia sociale.

Un progetto siciliano di Umberto Riva
2023
La giornata di studio dedicata a Umberto Riva si è posta come occasione per riattivare una riflessione sul lavoro di un grande architetto, di cui è riconosciuta la particolarissima sensibilità plastico-figurativa declinata alle diverse scale dell’Architettura e del Design; l’autrice, che ha conosciuto Riva nei Laboratori di “Belìce ‘80”, ha condiviso con lo stesso l’esperienza di un incarico nel 1988 dall’Amministrazione di Salemi per la redazione di un progetto di riqualificazione dell’area di nuova espansione post-terremoto e di costruzione di un Centro Sociale e Culturale. Si è trattato di un lavoro complesso che ha impegnato i progettisti per diversi anni con alterne vicende e blocchi d…
Liminality in paradise : a study in utopianism at the Punta Mona community
2009
This Master’s thesis is a study in utopianism at the Punta Mona Sustainable Living and Education Centre, an ecological community of North Americans living on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The mission statement of Punta Mona is to show “sustainability” as a lived reality and to inspire individuals to return to mainstream society to enact change towards a more “eco-conscious” world. The main objective of this thesis is to critically examine the concept of sustainability as it is understood and practiced at Punta Mona and to raise questions over the tensions inherent in Punta Mona’s in-between position as an ecological community and ecotourism venture. What power structures are implicitly…
THE UTOPIA OF REBIRTH: ALEKSANDR BOGDANOV'S KRASNAIA ZVEZDA
1984
“Never Some Easy Flashback”
2012
Abstract This paper provides a close reading of Paul Farley’s 160-line poem, “Thorns.” The poem is read in dialogue with William Wordsworth’s celebrated Romantic ballad “The Thorn.” Special attention is given to Farley’s treatment of memory and metaphor: It is shown how the first, exploratory part of the poem elaborates upon the interdependent nature of memory and metaphor, while the second part uses a more regulated form of imagery in its evocation of a generational memory linked to a particular place and time (the working-class Liverpool of the 1960s and 1970s). The tension between the two parts of the poem is reflected in the taut relationship between the poet and a confrontational alter…
Glimmering utopias: 50 years of African film
2010
The history of African film began in the 1960s with the independence of the colonies. Despite all kinds of political and economic difficulties, numerous films have been made since then, featuring wide-ranging processes of consolidation, differentiation and transformation which were characteristic of post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. However, these feature films should not merely be viewed as back references to specifically African problems. The glimmering fictions are imagination spaces. They preserve ideas about how the post-colonial circumstances should be approached. Seen from this perspective, the history of African film may be studied as a history of African utopias. Die Geschichte des…
