The Critic and the Cure
Get PDFThis article aims to analyze Hannah Arendt's critique of psychoanalysis in her short essay published in 1943, We refugees, in which, in the midst of her reflections on the changing social situations of Jewish refugees from the Second World War. Arendt describes psychoanalysis as an outmoded practice of a tedious elite who tell “ghost stories” based on minor events from their childhoods, which, in her perception, becomes unnecessary after the frightening events witnessed during the war. This critique in itself could already serve as an object of detailed analysis, nevertheless it becomes particularly interesting when, in the following paragraphs, Arendt proceeds to examine the suicides committed by Jewish refugees, who are supposed to be safe from the dangers of war in the countries where they are welcomed, basing her investigations on possible internal factors. This approach is very similar to Sigmund Freud's so-called social theory, describing a series of symptoms which, although they only affect individuals, have a social origin, that is, they are due to historical moments or events that individuals all together experience. Arendt discusses her suspicion of the optimism with which many Jews faced the loss of their mother tongue, the sense of feeling like victims who had to be saved and the necessity of adapting to the new habits of their new countries' cultures – whereas all of these themes are the subject of psychoanalytic studies. Lastly, the author describes an individual who would illustrate her concerns about Jewish optimism and the constant pursuit of being part of the national culture and identity: Mr. Cohn, who would become one of the most famous characters in Arendtian thought, which, in this sense, can also be compared to a clinical case, presented in psychoanalytic writing to illustrate the development of symptoms and the analysis. Despite ironizing psychoanalytic practice, the following pages will analyse whether it is possible to relate Arendt's investigation into the suicides of Jewish refugees and the fragile state in which refugees find themselves in the countries that receive them to the psychoanalytic methods criticized by the author in the same essay
Intercorporeality and the Transference Phenomenon
Get PDFThis article aims to propose elements to understand the role of corporeality in the transference phenomenon based on the articulation between psychoanalytic listening and two ideas from Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy: the concepts of body schema and intercorporeality. The transference relationship is revisited through the lens of Merleau-Ponty’s thesis that our relationships with others are based on a corporeal, unconscious, and libidinal infrastructure. We hope to present a possible reading and complementation tool to elucidate the intercorporeal substrate present in the transference neurosis revealed by Freud
Editorial
Get PDFPresente de maneira significativa na filosofia contemporânea, a psicanálise tornou-se objeto de permanente e vivo interesse para as principais tendências filosóficas do Séc. XX. Para onde quer que se olhe, da teoria crítica à fenomenologia, do existencialismo ao estruturalismo, da hermenêutica à filosofia da linguagem, da filosofia da ciência à filosofia da mente, é possível atestar a existência de uma ampla e variada recepção filosófica da psicanálise. A filosofia brasileira se insere com protagonismo neste grande quadro de interlocução entre discurso filosófico e discurso psicanalítico..
Copie, trasferimenti, riuso: viaggio di un dittico eburneo bizantino del X secolo (Museum August Kestner di Hannover e Grünes Gewölbe di Dresda)
Get PDFIn 1899, Hans Graeven published an article in which he analyzed two ivory reliefs that were part of a 10th-century Byzantine diptych: the left panel, depicting the Crucifixion and the Deposition, is currently exhibited in the Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum in Hanover, while the right panel, with the Meeting in the Garden and the Anastasis, is kept in the Grünes Gewölbe in Dresden. Subsequent studies in the 20th century have confirmed the validity of Graeven's thesis, although the lack of more recent monographic contributions leaves some questions unanswered. This article revisits the proposals regarding the arrival of the two panels in the West, provides an analysis of the iconographies and identifies a group of specimens that can be considered forgeries and/or copies of the diptych.Nel 1899 Hans Graeven pubblicò un articolo in cui analizzava due rilievi in avorio come parte di un dittico bizantino del X secolo: l’anta sinistra, raffigurante la Crocifissione e la Deposizione, è oggi esposta al Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum di Hannover, mentre l’anta destra, con l’Incontro al Giardino e l’Anastasis è custodita alla Grünes Gewölbe di Dresda. Studi successivi nel XX secolo hanno confermato la validità della tesi di Graeven, anche se la mancanza contributi monografici più recenti lascia senza risposte alcuni quesiti. L’articolo ripercorre le proposte sull’arrivo delle due valve in Occidente, fornisce un’analisi delle iconografie e rintraccia un gruppo di esemplari considerabili falsi e/o copie del dittico
Counselling as a Procedural Safeguard for Brain-Machine Interfaces
Get PDFThe rapid development of Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) presents unprecedented opportunities to enhance cognitive and physical capabilities. However, their transformative potential raises significant ethical challenges regarding autonomy, identity, and agency. In this article, I argue for the implementation of a model of enhanced informed consent, requiring individuals to participate in counselling before gaining access to BMIs. Such a requirement respects individual freedom while addressing the risks BMIs pose to fundamental human values. Drawing on Robert Nozick’s libertarian framework, I highlight how counselling aligns with the moral basis of rights by ensuring individuals have the capacity to structure their lives in meaningful ways while respecting individual rights and autonomy. In fact, I argue that introducing counselling as a conditional procedural safeguard to have access to BMI technology is the better strategy vis-à-vis resorting to substantive prohibitions or paternalistic policies. Enhanced informed consent enables individuals to make deeply informed decisions while preserving their ability to lead meaningful lives.Il rapido sviluppo delle Interfacce mente-macchina (BMI) offre opportunità mai viste di accrescere le nostre capacità sia fisiche sia cognitive. Il loro potenziale trasformativo pone al contempo importanti sfide etiche per quanto attiene all’autonomia, all’identità e all’agentività individuali. In questo articolo sostengo l'adozione di un modello rafforzato di consenso informato, che s’impernierebbe sull’obbligo del counselling per accedere alle BMI. Tale condizione sarebbe da un lato rispettosa delle libertà del singolo, dall’altro lato attenta ai rischi insiti nelle BMI per i valori umani fondamentali. Attingendo dall’approccio libertario di Robert Nozick, evidenzio come il counselling sia compatibile con le basi morali del diritto, garantendo a ciascuno la possibilità di realizzarsi costruttivamente, senza rinunciare ai propri diritti e alla propria autonomia. In sostanza, affermo che l'introduzione del counselling come procedura rafforzata per l’accesso alla tecnologia BMI è preferibile al ricorso a divieti mirati o a misure paternalistiche. Un consenso informato rafforzato consente alle persone di prendere decisioni profondamente consapevoli, preservando al contempo la loro capacità di condurre una vita significativa

The necropolis of Jebel Zebouzi (El Kef): integrated and multiscale archaeological analysis of protohistoric megalithic structures from Northern Tunisia
Get PDFThis paper focuses on the integrated and multiscale archaeological analysis of the necropolis of Jebel Zebouzi in El Kef, Northern Tunisia, shedding light on the complex and diverse megalithic structures that characterize the region. North Africa features a vast array of pre-Roman funerary monuments, ranging from monumental tombs influenced by Punic and Roman-Hellenistic examples to autochthonous rock-cut chamber tombs known as haouanet. The landscape is further enriched with bazinas, chouchet, tumuli, and dolmens, in some cases forming extensive necropolises. Despite their visibility, the understanding of these structures remains limited. Early assumptions regarding their dating were challenged, suggesting a Late Bronze Age origin. After two centuries of research, there remains a significant hiatus in knowledge regarding the spatial arrangement, funerary traditions, and chronology of these megalithic necropolises. To bridge this gap, the research project described in this paper has employed cutting-edge techniques such as drone imagery, photogrammetry for documentation during remote and on-foot surveys. Together with selected excavations and bioarchaeological analysis, the goal is to reconstruct some of the necropolis’ stratigraphical and spatial configuration, offering insights into horizontal and vertical social complexity and the utilization of space. The study addresses hence the phenomenon of reuse and modification of these ancient monuments over time, raising questions about cultural appropriation, memory, history, and the negotiation of cultural identity. This comprehensive approach aims to contribute to the understanding of North African pre-Roman funerary practices and the cultural dynamics that shaped these megalithic landscapes
Ricostruire il perduto: anastilosi digitale della chiesa di Sant'Agostino a Padova
Get PDFThis paper illustrates the results achieved and the methodology adopted during the research project Digital Anastylosis and Interactive Spatial Interpretation: the church of Saint Augustine in Padua as an exemplary case study, which took the Dominican church of Padua in its fourteenth-century phase as an important case study. The building, demolished in 1819, housed a vast fresco cycle by Guariento, of which some fragments survive, and the funerary tombs of the Da Carrara family. The study was conducted through a constant dialogue between ancient sources (archival documents, descriptions and old illustrations of the church) and the surveys on the area under investigation, which allowed the reasoned 3D restitution of the monument.Nel presente contributo vengono illustrati i risultati raggiunti e la metodologia adottata nel corso del progetto di ricerca Anastilosi digitale e interpretazione interattiva degli spazi: Sant'Agostino a Padova come laboratorio esemplare, che ha preso come importante caso di studio la chiesa domenicana di Padova nella sua fase trecentesca. L’edificio, demolito nel 1819, ospitava un vasto ciclo ad affresco realizzato da Guariento, di cui sopravvivono alcuni frammenti, e le arche funerarie dei Da Carrara. Il lavoro è stato condotto attraverso il costante dialogo tra le fonti antiche (documenti d’archivio, descrizioni e raffigurazioni antiche della chiesa) e i rilievi sull’area oggetto d’indagine, che hanno permesso la restituzione 3D ragionata del monumento
Emanazioni, spettralizzazioni, ossessioni Fra reale e virtuale
Get PDFThe relationship between the real and the virtual is increasingly central in defining narrative worlds in contemporary culture. On one hand, the rise of digital and immersive technologies seems to reignite easy apocalyptic temptations in critical thought; on the other, it offers new modes of writing and techniques for the materialization and dissemination of narrative worlds. In this interview, Mirko Lino, Associate Professor of Cinema, Television, and Photography at the University of L'Aquila, provides an overview and brief assessment of the dialectic between the real and the virtual. Ranging across various fields of artistic and media production (cinema, serials, literature, video games, comics), he describes some transmedia strategies for constructing storyworlds, while also exploring contemporary imagination's obsessions, such as illusion, dreams, and spectrality.

"Metafísica invencible de mi vuelo": la vanguardia de los afeptos y el chamanismo en Canción infinita (1928) de Alberto Mostajo
Get PDFThe preference for content rather than form has earned Alberto Mostajo’s poetic work the neglect of studies on the avant-garde, since these prioritize the analysis of the expressive aspect. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to offer a new reading of the heteroclite character of Canción infinita (1928) in the light of the category of the avant-garde of the aphepts. To this end, we propose that the collection proposes a shamanic metaphysics as an alternative means of understanding the cosmos. Such vital sapience grants the speaker the perception of the infinite and, therefore, the understanding of the nothingness of the human being. In this sense, the poetry book exposes the cosmic journey as a dissident and critical epistemological option against the world fossilized by modernity and anthropocentrism. The methodology of analysis will be based on General Textual Rhetoric, specifically Stefano Arduini’s figurative fields.La preferencia por el contenido más que por la forma le ha granjeado a la obra poética de Alberto Mostajo la desatención de los estudios sobre las vanguardias, puesto que estos priorizan el análisis del aspecto expresivo. Por tal razón, este artículo tiene como propósito ofrecer una nueva lectura del carácter heteróclito de Canción infinita (1928) a la luz de la categoría de la vanguardia de los afeptos. Para ello, planteamos que el poemario propone una metafísica chamánica como medio alternativo para comprender el cosmos. Dicha sapiencia vital, le otorga al locutor la percepción del infinito y, por tanto, la comprensión de la nimiedad del ser humano. En ese sentido, el poemario expone al viaje cósmico como una opción epistemológica disidente y crítica contra el mundo fosilizado por la modernidad y el antropocentrismo. Se empleará como metodología de análisis a la Retórica General Textual, específicamente los campos figurativos de Stefano Arduini
