L\u27artista dell\u27essere. Arte e bellezza nel pensiero di Antonio Rosmini
No full textThe article focuses on a presentation of Filippo Bergonzoni’s book L’artista dell’essere. Arte e bellezza nel pensiero di Antonio Rosmini (Orthotes, Napoli-Salerno 2020), a monograph on Rosmini’s aesthetics from his early essay Sull’idillio to the Teosofia, his final unfinished masterpiece. A pathway in which the philosopher of Rovereto also engages in a dialogue with Alessandro Manzoni, in search of an ontology of beauty which finds its origin and its ultimate end in the idea of being.The article focuses on a presentation of Filippo Bergonzoni’s book L’artista dell’essere.

Il concorso per l’immagine di copertina
No full textAt the end of the issue, the journal publishes all the proposals received for the cover image and thanks the authors who joined the competition ‘The Geography of the Image’.
Call for papers ‒ In the current ‘global condition’ in which humanity finds itself, the image has assumed a fundamental role in governing the media and in creating new mythologies that give life to deep behavioural models: different outcomes of various evolutionary lines marked by history. This role is evident in Western culture but also in other cultures, especially in the Eastern one that today proposes alternative communication spaces, full of fantastic suggestions. The geographical location of these multiple ways of articulating images gives rise to a zoning of the planet in distinct ‘representative plates’ that collide along borders similar to faults, where ‘conceptual and visual earthquakes’ are produced that act in a continuous comparison of continuity, discontinuity, similarities and differences. Investigating this ‘geography of the image’ through appropriate thematic maps that describe the articulation in space, but also the evolution over time, can provide a new key for reading, theoretical and operational, the transformations of landscapes, cities and buildings, but also the ways of being of the people who populate them. Spatial‒temporal maps therefore, to fully understand also the history of figurative models used by different civilizations. The revolution induced by the 2020 pandemic cannot but play a role in this: it is clear that the mutations it will produce in human life, in every corner of the planet, will become very important and to a large extent perhaps irreversible. As actions, places, gestures and in general all social behaviour change, the images that represent them and the ways of creating them will also inevitably change. It can be expected that the visual forms used in the various cultural contexts will not only change rapidly and profoundly, but will also be divided into directional flows whose geographical distribution today is unpredictable. They will be flows of ideas, symbols and models that will mark the territorial dynamics of new ‘migrations’: perhaps the most global in history, capable of marking new ‘figurative frontiers’; frontiers that may then prove useless and of which, if we can and want, we may wish to do without.A chiusura del numero, la rivista pubblica tutte le proposte ricevute per l’immagine di copertina e ringrazia gli autori che hanno aderito al concorso “La geografia dell’immagine”.
Richiesta di contributi ‒ Nell’attuale “condizione globale” in cui si trova l’umanità l’immagine ha assunto un ruolo fondamentale nel governare i media e nel creare nuove mitologie che danno vita a modelli comportamentali profondi: esiti diversi di varie linee evolutive segnate dalla storia. Tale ruolo è evidente nella cultura occidentale ma anche in altre culture, segnatamente in quella orientale che propone oggi spazi comunicativi alternativi, densi di suggestioni fantastiche. La collocazione geografica di tali molteplici modi di articolarsi delle immagini dà luogo a una zonizzazione del pianeta in “zolle rappresentative” distinte che si scontrano lungo frontiere assimilabili a faglie, dove si producono “terremoti concettuali e visivi” che agiscono in un continuo confronto di continuità, discontinuità, assonanze e differenze. Indagare questa “geografia dell’immagine” attraverso opportune mappe tematiche che descrivano l’articolarsi nello spazio, ma anche l’evoluzione nel tempo, può fornire una nuova chiave di lettura, teorica e operativa, delle trasformazioni dei paesaggi, delle città e degli edifici, ma in fondo anche dei modi di essere delle genti che li popolano. Mappe spazio‒temporali quindi, per capire a fondo anche la storia dei modelli figurativi usati dalle diverse civiltà. La rivoluzione indotta dalla pandemia del 2020 non potrà non avere un ruolo in questo senso: è certo che le mutazioni che produrrà nella vita umana, in ogni angolo del pianeta, diventeranno molto importanti e in buona misura forse irreversibili. Con il mutare delle azioni, dei luoghi, dei gesti e in genere di tutto il comportamento sociale, cambieranno necessariamente anche le immagini che li rappresentano e i modi di costruirle. È lecito prevedere che le forme visuali usate nei vari contesti culturali non solo cambieranno rapidamente e profondamente, ma si articoleranno anche in flussi direzionali la cui distribuzione geografica oggi è imprevedibile. Saranno flussi di idee, simboli e modelli che segneranno le dinamiche territoriali di nuove “migrazioni”: forse le più globali della storia, capaci di segnare nuove “frontiere figurative”; frontiere che potranno poi rivelarsi inutili e di cui, potendo e volendo, magari ci si augurerà di fare a meno
Per una archeologia dei linguaggi figurativi globali: il caso del Pittoresco
No full textThe book by Timothy Brook, Vermeer’s Hat, The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World (2009) shows how in that age, a lot of handcrafts – such as hats and porcelain – entered Europe through the massive trading activities of Dutch East India Company. To illustrate this, he conducts an in–depth analysis of Vermeer’s canvases. Brook’s inquiry therefore shifts the dawn of the globalized world – a marker of our contemporary age – to a time when some countries brought to life a world where a network of connections and exchange was arising in a way never seen before. The Age of Discovery was over, and the Age of Imperialism was still to come. Meanwhile, when trading and cultural exchange began, the ‘translation’ of languages from one world to another was required for understanding and eventually integration. First the Dutch and then the English adopted an image language capable of describing both new worlds and home environments in the same way, thus making new situations and different landscapes easy to access and understand for people viewing them in the homeland. There was therefore a sort of ‘transmigration’, an attempt to adapt visual codes the Picturesque to overseas environments and landscapes. In other words, well–established pictorial codes were employed as a ‘lens’ to look at a unique, faraway place. For a long time, up to the invention of photography, the Picturesque was the global language used to make even very faraway, exotic places familiar, and in doing so, re–inventing overseas landscapes through the European cultural matrix. This paper uses several iconographic cases to illustrate how the Picturesque became a global code, a kind of ‘common language’ representing different, faraway cultures through a Western pictorial language.Il libro di Timothy Brook Il cappello di Vermeer. Il Seicento e la nascita del mondo globalizzato (2009) mostra, attraverso un’attenta disamina di alcuni quadri del noto pittore olandese, la penetrazione nel mondo europeo di manufatti – quali cappelli e porcellane – provenienti dall’intensa attività commerciale della Compagnia delle Indie. La lettura proposta da Brook sposta gli esordi della globalizzazione, che sicuramente contraddistingue la società contemporanea, al periodo in cui alcune nazioni danno vita a «un mondo in cui si stava intessendo una rete di connessioni e scambi quale non si era mai vista prima» (Brook 2015, p. 9). L’età delle scoperte si era già conclusa e quella dell’imperialismo doveva ancora arrivare, ma in questo inizio di scambi culturali e commerciali diventano urgenti “traduzioni” di linguaggi da un mondo all’altro, capacità di intendersi e infine di integrarsi. Gli Olandesi prima e subito dopo gli Inglesi ricorrono a un linguaggio figurativo in grado di descrivere altrettanto i nuovi mondi, come gli ambienti domestici, rendendo le immagini delle nuove realtà, dei nuovi paesaggi, di facile accessibilità e comprensione per chi li guardava dalla madrepatria. Si assiste così ad una “trasmigrazione”, ad un adattamento dei codici visuali del Pittoresco ai nuovi mondi extraeuropei: ovvero si impiegano codici figurativi consolidati come una “lente” attraverso cui guardare la nuova natura. Per una lunga stagione, fino almeno all’invenzione della fotografia, il Pittoresco diventa il linguaggio universale in grado di rendere familiari anche luoghi esotici e lontani, re–inventando i paesaggi d’oltremare, attraverso matrici culturali europee. Il contributo intende illustrare, attraverso alcuni casi iconografici esemplificativi, come il Pittoresco assuma la veste di canone globale, di lingua franca in grado di descrivere civiltà diverse e lontane, attraverso il linguaggio pittorico degli Occidentali

Pavese senza collina: Assenza del mito e incompiutezza estetica
Get PDFABSTRACT: Pavese defined his literary production as the process of clarification of the myth, which he tried to accomplish obstinately in all his works (the so-called «fragments of the monolith»). For him, the myth coincided with the archetypical image of the hill, the dwelling place of the irrational whose blood and sacrifice are manifestations (Paesi tuoi, La casa in collina, La luna e i falò). The exception of this are two novels: La spiaggia (1942), which «is not fragment of the monolith», and Il compagno (1947), «a political Bildung roman about the rise of a communist political conscience». What make them different from the rest of Pavese’s work is that they miss the mythological element: in both of these novels, hills are almost completely missing. With my essay, I would like to show how this missing element deprive the novels of a full aesthetical completeness, forcing Pavese to rely on social elements (the description of a bourgeois environment and the awareness of an antifascist conscience). When Pavese gives up his intent of clarification of the myth, his writing lacks autonomy.ABSTRACT: Pavese defined his literary production as the process of clarification of the myth, which he tried to accomplish obstinately in all his works (the so-called «fragments of the monolith»).

Per lui, il mito coincise con l’immagine archetipica della collina, luogo irrazionale del sangue e del sacrificio (Paesi tuoi, La casa in collina, La luna e i falò). Fanno eccezione La spiaggia (1942), che «non è scheggia del monolito», e Il compagno (1947), «un Bildung roman politico sulla acquisizione di una coscienza comunista». A renderli diversi dal resto della produzione pavesiana è la mancata trattazione dell’elemento mitologico: in entrambi la collina è quasi assente. Con il mio saggio, vorrei mostrare come tale mancanza tolga a questi romanzi una piena compiutezza estetica, costringendoli ad appiattirsi su elementi sociali (la descrizione di un ambiente borghese e una presa di coscienza antifascista). Quando Pavese rinuncia a razionalizzare l’elemento irrazionale, la sua scrittura perde autonomia

Nati da dono di gameti: il diritto di accesso alle origini tra Cross Border Reproductive Care, pluralismo giuridico e genetica
Get PDFIndividuals who attempt conception with donor sperm or donor eggs face many obstacles. They frequently experience social stigma associated with infertility and thus they do not disclose their children about the existence of a donor. When donor-conceived children are made aware of gamete donation, sometimes they claim the right to know their genetic origins. This right is not granted in many States, since the principle of anonymity is laid down in national and international laws. It is therefore appropriate to question the role of genetics in defining parental relations and personal identity. Nonetheless, it is necessary to highlight the detachment between States and candidate health care recipients, who increasingly move from one jurisdiction, where treatment is unavailable for them, to another jurisdiction in order to obtain the treatment they need. In this scenario, the right to know genetic origins has to be discussed.Individuals who attempt conception with donor sperm or donor eggs face many obstacles.

From "familial searching" to "forensic genetic genealogy": new frontiers – and challenges – of DNA analysis in criminal investigations
Get PDFSince its discovery, DNA analysis has been an important tool in criminal investigations: the creation of national DNA databases, retaining the genetic profile of criminals, revealed to be crucial in solving serious crimes. In recent years, the expansive use of DNA analysis, together with scientific and technological progress, led to the development of new sophisticated investigative techniques, from the so-called "familial searching" to the more recent use of "forensic genetic genealogy", based on the exploitation of commercial genealogy databases by law enforcement authorities. Notwithstanding their effectiveness, these new instruments raise serious ethical and legal concerns: this paper aims at presenting these complex challenges, by underlying the need to strike a proper balance between the public interest to a rapid and efficient identification of unknown offenders and the dangerous shift towards "genetic surveillance".Since its discovery, DNA analysis has been an important tool in criminal investigations: the creation of national DNA databases, retaining the genetic profile of criminals, revealed to be crucial in solving serious crimes.
