L’estetica di Paolo VI e il progetto di nuova evangelizzazione degli artisti
Get PDFThe paper focuses on the theory of art outlined by Giovanni Battista Montini (1897-1978) – usually known as Pope Paul VI (position held between 1963 and 1978) – investigated from an aesthetic point of view. The author refers also to less-known manuscripts outlined by G.B. Montini since the first decays of the XX century and then substantially confirmed by his subsequent speeches with the role of Archbishop of Milan (1954-1963) and later Pope. The paper allows to clarify the theoretical roots of the famous request addressed in 1964 to contemporary artists to enter into an alliance with the Church aimed at discovering the most genuine and spiritual needs of contemporary mankind. It focuses therefore not only on the Paul VI’s theory of holy art, but properly on his very conception of art and of the artists’ mission considered into a broader sense. The artist is ultimately regarded as a kind of prototype of contemporary Christian man

Ieri come oggi, oggi come domani: la dimensione temporale e linguistica in Finale di partita di Samuel Beckett
Get PDFEndgame (1957), considered by many as Samuel Beckett’s major work, stands out as a “terminal” play, a play in which the characters live in an absolute present, devoid of any idea of future and completely disconnected from the world of memories, which are so far away as to seem mere hallucinations. How, then, should these characters live in a universe that is so close to its end? By waiting, Beckett suggests; by waiting, paradoxically, for things to take their own course

L’Androgyne et le Faune Il travestimento tra Gisèle d’Estoc e Guy de Maupassant
Get PDFFollowing the revisionism of the 1970s, correspondence and journalistic contributions by Guy de Maupassant have been re-evaluated, widening our perspective on the writer’s ambiguous sexual life and his conflicted relationship with women. In between his correspondences, the character of Gisèle d’Estoc emerges as particularly interesting given her triple nature as adulterous, bisexual and crossdresser. The woman’s masquerade relates with the author’s own imagery and literary disguise, expressed through the mythological figure of the faun, which hides and exhibits at once his dichotomous relationship with the modern world

The True Narration
Get PDFVico’s speculation is not primarily interested in a theory of myth itself, rather than in the anthropological idea laying at the core of human existence in its social and politcal forms. Hence, his mythopoeic theory must be seen as a contribution to the modern debate on subjectivity where the subject is, in the first place, author and object of the human foundational narrative.

Get PDF
Why "System and Freedom"? Why "Rationality and Improvisation"? These are the two questions that are at the origin of the conference "System and freedom. Rationality and improvisation between philosophy, art and human practices". The conference, held on 28-31 January 2015 in the premises of the University of Turin and organized by the Center for Philosophical-religious Studies Luigi Pareyson, thanks to funding from the Piedmont Region, and with the sponsorship of the Interuniversity Center of Morphology Francesco Moiso, had a large audience participation. There have been many reasons and reflections reported in this article, on the theme of improvisation and freedom, analyzed from a philosophical point of view. The very high quality of the speeches from the invited speakers (Felix Duque, Universidad Autónoma del Madrid; Luca Illetterati, University of Padua; Davide Sparti, University of Siena; Vincenzo Caporaletti, University of Siena) and of all the speakers, the wide and lively public participation and certainly the intensity of the discussions contributed to the success of this long meeting.
