Pregare (una volta) in campagna. Edicole devozionali nell'area delle Serre joniche
Get PDFEnThe writing is a collection of impressions of short excursions that aim to highlight the geoanthropic character of the places crossed with a spirit of all-round investigation. The attention was particularly focused on the devotional shrines of the investigated area: part of the Serre joniche falling within the territories administered by the municipalities of Galàtone, Neviano, Parabita and Matino. Through eight travel sketches (limited to the surroundings of the villages) the presence (mostly declining) of the street tabernacles embedded, almost always, in the boundary walls of the landed properties is accounted for.ItLo scritto è una raccolta di impressioni di brevi escursioni che mirano a mettere in luce il carattere geoantropico dei luoghi attraversati con spirito di indagine a tutto campo. L'attenzione si è particolarmente incentrata sulle edicole devozionali dell'area investigata: parte delle Serre joniche ricadenti nei territori amministrati dai comuni di Galàtone, Neviano, Parabita e Matino. Attraverso otto bozzetti di viaggio (limitato ai dintorni dei paesi) si dà conto della presenza (perlopiù declinante) dei tabernacoli di strada incistati, quasi sempre, nei muri di cinta delle proprietà fondiarie
Feminicide and the Necropolitics of Latin American Migration in the United States
Get PDFThis article focuses on the dialectic between the ordinary invisibility of feminicide crimes in the United States and the exceptional visibility of select others. Using analytic perspectives from feminist and anthropological perspectives, it highlights feminicide cases from the rural Midwestern United States and places them in the broader context of the on-going crisis of murdered women in the Americas. It argues that the violent murders of young white college-educated women are used instrumentally to deepen and advance immigration policy against racialized Latin American populations while continuing to render all women vulnerable to lethal intimate partner violence through public erasure and institutional impunity
La Société des Amis des Noirs e il contributo femminile al movimento antischiavista: Olympe de Gouges e Helen Maria Williams
Get PDFItIl presente saggio analizza il contributo femminile al movimento antischiavista francese attraverso la partecipazione diretta e indiretta di donne nella Société des Amis des Noirs, fondata a Parigi nel 1788. L'indagine si concentra in particolare su due figure emblematiche: Olympe de Gouges e Helen Maria Williams, protagoniste di un impegno politico e culturale che si esprime attraverso la scrittura drammaturgica, poetica e memorialistica. Attraverso l'analisi dei verbali della Société, delle opere letterarie e delle fonti coeve, il contributo mette in luce la specificità del ruolo delle donne all'interno del movimento antischiavista in un contesto rivoluzionario ancora fortemente segnato dall'esclusione femminile dalla sfera politica formale. Si mostra come le donne abbiano saputo trasformare la letteratura, il teatro e il salotto filosofico in strumenti di mediazione culturale, attivismo e propaganda, contribuendo in modo originale alla costruzione di un immaginario antischiavista e all'internazionalizzazione del dibattito. La ricerca evidenzia infine come, nonostante i limiti strutturali imposti alle donne, il loro intervento fu tutt'altro che marginale e costituì una componente essenziale della lotta contro la tratta e lo schiavismo.EnThis essay examines the female contribution to the French abolitionist movement through the direct and indirect participation of women in the Société des Amis des Noirs, founded in Paris in 1788. The analysis focuses particularly on two emblematic figures: Olympe de Gouges and Helen Maria Williams, whose political and cultural engagement took shape through dramatic writing, poetry, and memoirs. By exploring the Society's meeting records, literary works, and contemporary sources, the study highlights the distinctive role played by women within the abolitionist campaign, in a revolutionary context that largely excluded them from formal political arenas. It demonstrates how women transformed literature, theatre, and philosophical salons into powerful tools of cultural mediation, activism, and propaganda, contributing significantly to the construction of an anti-slavery imaginary and to the international dissemination of abolitionist discourse. Ultimately, the essay shows that despite structural restrictions, the female contribution was far from peripheral and constituted an essential element in the struggle against the slave trade and slavery
Opacità algoritmica e opacità decisionale. Il problema del machine learning nell'urbanocene = Algorithmic opacity and decision opacity. The problem of machine learning in the urbanocene
No full textThe contribution critically analyzes the interaction between smart cities and machine learning in the era of the Urbanocene, highlighting the implications of the increasing datafication of urban living. The adoption of predictive models based on artificial intelligence transforms the city into a complex and automated system characterized by algorithmic and decision-making opacity. Three fundamental issues emerge: the reduction of urban experience to observable and traceable data; the systemic vulnerability of the city heightened by interconnection and computational complexity; and the loss of transparency and accountability in urban governance, delegated to opaque algorithmic decision-making processes. Through a critical reflection inspired by Simondon and Stiegler, a conceptual distinction between smart cities and artificial intelligence is proposed, aiming to preserve the human dimension in urban management
Al di là del normale e patologico = Beyond the normal and pathological
No full textThis article presents the debts that the psychopathologies of both Minkowski and Jaspers owe to the idea of the psychophysical unity of the human being as a central intuition of phenomenology and Bergsonism. It is well known that Max Scheler and Henri Bergson sought to give substance to the psychophysical unity of the human being, resisting reductionist temptations. It was precisely this idea that attracted the interest of both Minkowski and Jaspers. Scheler, in fact, attempted to confer psychophysical concreteness to this unity, which extends from the biological to the most sophisticated forms of intelligence and the emotional world, and presents itself at all levels of observation as a temporal flow in which life is configured. Bergson, on the other hand, referred to the immediate data of consciousness understood in their multiplicity and to the fluidity of lived time. In turn, both Minkowski and Jaspers-although in different ways-sought to understand the unity of the person, a unity of meaning in experiences that each time defines a world independently of the preconceived schemas of pathology and normality
