Alcune figure della diserzione nell'opera di Pavese

2022

Deserting Characters in Pavese’s Work ∙ Pavese’s experience of World War ii has been widely controversial. Anti-fascist without joining the Italian Resistance, Pavese reimagines his nonparticipation to the confict across several of his post-1945 works. The essay ofers a thematic reading on deserting fgures in some poems from La terra e la morte, in I due (included in Dialogues with Leucò), in the novel The House on the Hill. The reading brings out the torn and evolving development of the issue of deserting in Pavese’s oeuvre.

Histories of Anthropology

2023

This edited volume presents, for the first time, a history of anthropology regarding not only the well-known European and American traditions, but also lesser-known traditions, extending its scope beyond the Western world. It focuses on the results of these traditions in the present. Taking into account the distinction between empire-building and nation-building anthropology, introduced by G. Stocking and taken up by U. Hannerz, the book investigates different histories of anthropology, especially in ex-colonial and marginal contexts. It highlights how the hegemonic anthropologies have been accepted and assimilated in local contexts, which approaches have been privileged by institutions and…

Spazializzazione

2013

Rather than focusing on the countryside and on some particular objects of the rural world, in our contribution we concentrate on a “thinking by new concepts”. Following the example of Deleuze, by opting for a refusal of neutralizing forms of representations, we devised a concept – spaction – in order to show the relationships that should be established nowadays between a rural world and the dynamics of people, spaces and museums.

L’idealismo trascendente tra Cusano e Leibniz

2013

I aim at demonstrating how both Nicholas of Cusa and Leibniz glean from the platonic school of thought the idealistic notion of ‘truth as expression’, orienting it towards the singularity of being. I will also reveal a second assumption derived from the philosophia perennis by both thinkers: the idea of philosophy as hypothetic and intersubjective undertaking. The theoretical results of this philosophical conceptualization are formulated in the name of the Possibility rather than in the name of Necessity. Under this shared perspective, Nicholas and Leibniz interpret the substantial forms (formae substantiales) as “unities without plurality”. It follows that the dialectic subjects can only b…

Tecnologie digitali per la visibilità del patrimonio culturale. L'immagine di Tarragona nella prospettiva dell'offerta

2023

This work aims to contribute to the debate on the role of new technologies in the process of urban image construction, presenting as a case study the digital offering of the UNESCO site of Tarragona. Inclusion on the World Heritage List may represent a decisive event in the definition of an urban image, which new technologies can promote and project to the outside world. By making the winning narrative visible, technologies offer spaces for tourist desire and consumption and show us how cities are told by highlighting some aspects and excluding others. After explaining the dynamics of the context under study, the paper demonstrates how digital tools can convey a brand, mediate or transfigur…

Facebook as a Small World: a topological hypothesis

2011

Facebook is becoming a pervasive entity as its social, cultural and media ramifications grow deep and entrenched in our daily life. Its nature of a complex system of interactions, bearing a strong similarity to networks built through individual choices and systems shaped by evolu- tionary pressure, makes it an interesting target for research. Scale-free Small World networks, recently popularized by Barabasi, are a topological class pertaining to both these domains, whose members have resilience to disruption and short intermediate connections between nodes. In this paper we show that the topological structure of a specific subset of Facebook, gathered using data from a self-report online qu…
