San Teodoro di San Vero Congius (Oristano): note storiche e interventi di restauro
Full text linkThis essay discusses the restoration work carried out on the church of San Teodoro, a small, cruciform monument with a dome at the intersection of the arms and no apses. Located in the municipality of San Vero Congius, it is now administratively owned by the Municipality of Simaxis in the province of Oristano. The building was discovered in ruins and subject of study since the 1960s. This essay will retrace the events surrounding the church's restoration, as revealed by an examination of archival documentation.Questo saggio affronta gli interventi di restauro effettuati sulla chiesa di San Teodoro, un piccolo edificio a pianta cruciforme, con una cupola all’incrocio dei bracci e privo di absidi. Situata nel territorio del comune di San Vero Congius, la chiesa è oggi di proprietà amministrativa del Comune di Simaxis, nella provincia di Oristano. L’edificio è stato rinvenuto in stato di rovina ed è oggetto di studio fin dagli anni Sessanta del Novecento. Il contributo ripercorre le vicende legate al restauro della chiesa, così come emergono dall’analisi della documentazione d’archivio
Il Portico della Gloria nel XX secolo. Fonti e documenti
Full text linkDuring the 20th century, the Portico de la Gloria of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was the subject of a strong iconographic debate that involved a large part of the academic community of the time. At the same time, the community demonstrated without any temporal interruption a great attention for the work, demonstrated by various attestations and culminating with important international recognitions and significant restoration works carried out on the monument. The present work aims to collect the various testimonies relating to this era to trace a history of studies on the Portico during the 20th century involving the relationship of the communities with it.Nel corso del XX secolo il Portico della Gloria della cattedrale di Santiago de Compostela fu oggetto di un forte dibattito iconografico che coinvolse gran parte della comunità accademica dell’epoca. Al contempo la collettività dimostrò senza alcuna interruzione temporale una grande attenzione per l’opera tramite diverse attestazioni, con importanti riconoscimenti internazionali e significativi lavori di restauro effettuati sul monumento. Il presente lavoro si propone di raccogliere le diverse testimonianze dell’epoca per tracciare una storia degli studi sul Portico nel corso del XX secolo che includa il coinvolgimento delle comunità
I Guna. “Istruzioni per l’uso”
Full text linkIn the first part of the essay I take into consideration the image about the Gunas that is spread in various media, starting from comics, cinema, videos available online and then in some cases examples of "individuary" ethnographies. In the second part I explain who the Gunas are for me and how I came to know the spirit and identity of this people in my work with them and for them in the long period from 1981 to today, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Dule Revolution of 1925.Nella prima parte del saggio prendo in considerazione l’immagine che viene diffuso nei diversi media del popolo Guna, a partire dal fumetto, il cinema, i video reperibili in rete e poi in alcuni casi esemplari di etnografie “indiziarie”. Nella seconda parte espongo chi sono per me i Guna e di come sono venuto a conoscenza dello spirito e della identità di questo popolo nel mio lavoro con loro e per loro nel lungo periodo dal 1981 ad oggi, in occasione della ricorrenza dei 100 anni della Rivoluzione Dule del 1925
Pinturas, dibujos y líneas protectoras. Las molas gunadule de Colombia y la gráfica indígena entre los karajá en Brasil
Full text linkIn this article, we analyze the ancestral knowledge embodied in the protective molas of the Gunadule people of Colombia and Panama, drawing parallels with the body painting of the Karajá people in Brazil. Our interest stems from the visual perception of certain similarities between the designs and lines present in both graphic expressions. The diversity of media—sewn fabrics in the case of the Gunadule and skin as canvas in the case of the Karajá—invites us to reflect on the relevance of these practices beyond ornamentation. To support the analysis, we drew on ethnographic works on the Karajá and the academic production of Gunadule authors, establishing a dialogue based on the theoretical assumptions of perspectivism, proposed by Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.En este artículo, analizamos los conocimientos ancestrales materializados en las molas de protección del pueblo gunadule de Colombia y Panamá, estableciendo paralelismos con la pintura corporal del pueblo karajá, en Brasil. Nuestro interés surge de la percepción visual de ciertas similitudes entre los diseños y las líneas presentes en ambas expresiones gráficas. La diversidad de soportes —telas costuradas en el caso de los gunadule y la piel como lienzo en el caso de los karajá— nos invita a reflexionar sobre la relevancia de estas prácticas más allá de la ornamentación. Para fundamentar el análisis, se recurrió a trabajos etnográficos sobre los karajá y a la producción académica de autores gunadule, estableciendo un diálogo desde los presupuestos teóricos del perspectivismo, propuesto por el antropólogo brasileño Eduardo Viveiros de Castro
Entre el canto y el vuelo. La ornitofauna y el devenir-animal en Los ríos profundos de José María Arguedas
Full text linkThis research argues that the prominent presence of birds in Los ríos profundos (Deep Rivers) is not due to a merely ornithological interest on the author’s part. Rather, it responds to the Amerindian Quechua ontological matrix that nourishes his work. Within the novel, singing birds form part of the musical spectrum of the world and participate in the sonic qualities that trigger becomings among multiple existents and institute territorializations. Furthermore, as the relationship between the different cosmic planes and terrestrial entities is understood as a transmission of signs and an exchange of forces, birds —associated with the upper world and the wamanis (apu mountain entities)— play a key role in this process. This relevance is also evident in cultural practices such as music, poetry, and the treatment accorded to them. These propositions are supported by the concepts of becoming-animal and the ritornello developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as well as by proposals from the ontological turn.Esta investigación sostiene que la destacada presencia de aves en Los ríos profundos no se debe a un interés meramente ornitológico del autor. Responde más bien a la matriz ontológica amerindia quechua que nutre su obra. En la novela, las aves cantoras forman parte del espectro musical del mundo y participan de las cualidades del sonido para desencadenar devenires entre múltiples existentes y agenciar territorializaciones. Asimismo, como la relación entre los distintos planos cósmicos y entre las entidades terrestres es entendida como transmisión de signos e intercambio de fuerzas o energías, las aves —asociadas al mundo de arriba y a los wamanis (los apu montaña)— juegan un papel clave en ese proceso. Dicha relevancia se aprecia también en las canciones, la poesía y el trato que se les brinda. Estos planteamientos se sostienen en los conceptos de devenir-animal y ritornelo de Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari y en algunas propuestas del giro ontológico
Notas a Hdt. III, 19: la fallida expedición persa contra Cartago
Full text linkThe purpose of this article is to comment on Hdt. III, 19, which narrates a failed Persian expedition against Carthage, with the aim of providing useful information to understand not only the positioning of this anecdote within Herodotus' Histories, but also to give clues about the situation of Carthage during the late 6th century BC and the reason for the interest of the Achaemenid Empire and Cambyses in taking possession of this civilisation.Este artículo tiene como propósito comentar Hdt. III, 19, en el cuál se narra una fallida expedición persa contra Cartago, con la finalidad de proporcionar información de utilidad para entender no sólo el posicionamiento de esta anécdota dentro de las Historias de Heródoto, sino también dar claves sobre la situación de Cartago durante los finales del siglo VI a.C. y el porqué del interés del Imperio Aqueménida y de Cambises por tomar posesión de esta civilización
La venatio picta di Campester e Marsinus nell’anfiteatro di Uthina: nuove riflessioni
Full text linkIn the amphitheater of Uthina (now Oudhna, Tunisia), the excavation of the room adjacent to the main west entrance has uncovered a large portion of the collapsed vault, on which a crowded scene of venatio with bears and venatores is painted. The new interpretations proposed in this article closely relate the pictorial subject to the inscriptions that enrich it, thus placing the venatio within the context of the sodalitates active in the colony. The relationship with the spectacle building remains in the background as an essential guiding thread along which to develop working hypotheses.
Nell’anfiteatro di Uthina (oggi Oudhna, Tunisia) lo scavo dell’ambiente addossato all’ingresso principale ovest ha restituito una voluminosa porzione della volta crollata, sulla quale è dipinta un’affollata scena di venatio con orsi e venatores. Le nuove letture proposte in questo articolo correlano strettamente il soggetto pittorico alle iscrizioni che lo arricchiscono, inserendo così la venatio nel contesto delle sodalitates attive nella colonia. Il rapporto con l’edificio per spettacoli resta sul fondo quale filo vettoriale imprescindibile lungo il quale muovere le ipotesi di lavoro
Hannah Arendt and Jewishness as Pariah
Full text linkIn her reflections, Arendt distinguishes between Judaism in the sense of faith in the Jewish religion and its social, political and individual dimension, which is Jewishness
Mass Society and the Political Crisis
Full text linkIn Vita activa, Arendt's reflection on mass society reveals the impoverishment that has occurred in modernity in the concept of the world, no longer understood as the space created between people, when it is the space that brings them together or separates them, thanks to the fact that it is the place where freedom and political action occur
