Teófano: canto que convoca a la luz en la lírica de Churata
Get PDFIn the life and work of Gamaliel Churata, the death of his wife Brunilda and his children Teófano and Qemesa had a singular impact. This event not only affected Churata, but also reached other members of the Orkopata Group who wrote poems dedicated to these significant souls. In this article we study the death ritual represented in Churata’s poetry, specifically the phases that correspond to the departure and return of the soul (ajayu). For this purpose, two poems dedicated to the death of Teófano (Gamaliel Churata’s son) that follow this ritual sequence are analyzed. In the analysis, the categories of ajayu, amaya and ajayu-watan will be used, in addition to the categories of Andean lyric. With this we will show that the song to death proposed by Churata follows the ritual of the Andean conception of death, especially the Aymara ritual.En la vida y obra da Gamaliel Churata la muerte de su esposa Brunilda (Rosa Calderón) y de sus hijos Teófano (Teófano Peralta) y Qimensa (Clemencia Peralta) tuvo un impacto singular. Este acontecimiento no solo afectó a Churata, sino que también alcanzó a otros miembros del Grupo Orkopata, quienes escribieron poemas dedicados a estas almas significativas. En este artículo estudiamos el ritual de la muerte representado en la poesía de Churata, en específico a las fases que corresponden a la partida y al retorno del alma (ajayu). Para ello, analizamos dos poemas dedicados a la muerte de Teófano, que siguen esta secuencia ritual. Nos serán de utilidad las categorías de ajayu, amaya y ajayu-watan, además de las nociones de la lírica andina. Con ello, evidenciaremos que el canto a la muerte propuesto por Churata sigue el ritual de la concepción andina de la muerte, en especial el ritual aymara
La rappresentazione delle Augustae nel Nord Africa tra l’epoca severiana e il principato di Decio
Get PDFThis paper focuses on a study of the evolution in the epigraphical representation of Augustae in the Western provinces of North Africa between the Severan period and the principate of Trajan Decius. The documents are analysed according to the usual criteria of typology of dedications and monuments, authors and geographical distribution. Particular attention is also paid to the analysis of the titles with which the Augustae were honoured, in order to understand the degree of local receptivity of imperial propaganda and the reciprocal influence between unofficial and official sources.Il contributo si propone uno studio dell’evoluzione nella rappresentazione delle Augustae a livello epigrafico nelle province occidentali del Nord Africa tra l’epoca severiana e il principato di Traiano Decio. I documenti sono analizzati secondo gli usuali criteri del tipo di testi e di supporti, della natura dei committenti e della distribuzione geografica. Particolare attenzione è poi rivolta all’analisi dei titoli con cui questi personaggi vennero omaggiati, allo scopo di cogliere il grado di ricettività locale della propaganda imperiale e le reciproche influenze tra fonti non ufficiali e ufficiali
Who Is Not Afraid of Philosophy
Get PDFIn the context of the philosophical contribution to reflection on its teaching, the meeting of the Groupe de Recherche sur l'Enseignement Philosophique (GREPH) represents a still under-explored stimulus to undertake a contemporary reflection on philosophical teaching. The group's investigation leads to a recognition of a new pedagogical value bestowed on philosophy: that of a progressive educational experience, dialogically mediated and immersed in the physical and drive reality of the individual. In analysing the collective text, three themes will be observed on which the group's critique of the system of thought underlying their contemporary philosophical teaching is structured: the myth of the maturity prescribed for philosophy, the body as subject and negated agent in the pedagogical relationship, and language.In the context of the philosophical contribution to reflection on its teaching, the meeting of the Groupe de Recherche sur l'Enseignement Philosophique (GREPH) represents a still under-explored stimulus to undertake a contemporary reflection on philosophical teaching.

Against Punishment as Ideology
Get PDFThe psychiatric question, the history of insanity, and psychiatric power have historical connections to the construction of the state and society around the principles of inclusion and exclusion. Asylum is an institution whose dominant feature has been far more exclusion than care. In Italy, starting with the Italian experience led by Basaglia in Gorizia in the early 1960s, a radical critique of psychiatry as an ideology of social control has been structured. This cycle of anti-institutional struggles, and the following debate, culminated in the passing of Law 180. In this context, the discussion on overcoming the judicial asylum occupied a wide space. The paper examines some of the issues around which the critique of the criminal asylum has been developed and intertwined with the struggle against the asylum

On Repair and “Medicinal Words”
Get PDFThe story of Claude Eatherly, beyond the monstrosity of the Second World War, is interesting because it gives us not only a story of suffering and rebirth, but also the awareness of what happens when words such as mental health, offended sense of justice and need for repair enter into a dangerous short circuit. Hence the need to bring together the cognitive potential of a philosophy that explores the dilemmas of the soul with the demands of restorative justice aimed at welcoming the offender and the victim into paths of recovery and rebirth
