“The Noblest of all Things is Water”
Get PDFIn a series of lectures delivered in 1909 at the Moscow Theological Academy, Florensky presented an audacious thesis: philosophy – he claimed – was born of the worship of the god Poseidon. Significant aspects of Russian and European culture converge in the fervent scientific, philosophical, artistic, and religious terrain from which the thesis stems. Among them, certainly the varied, yet consistent, already ‘solid tradition of Russian Schellingianism’ – as Florensky calls it. This essay studies the connection of Schelling's thought with Florensky's ideas on the Milesian origin of Western philosophy, attempting to illuminate, on the borderline between the philosophy of nature and the philosophy of mythology, the powerful antinomian structure of Florensky’s thesis.In a series of lectures delivered in 1909 at the Moscow Theological Academy, Florensky presented an audacious thesis: philosophy – he claimed – was born of the worship of the god Poseidon.

From the Necessary to the Useless
Get PDFStarting from the impossible question “what is music?”, the paper attempts to circumscribe its meaning through different epistemological strategies: historical, empirical, objective. An attempt is made to reflect on the character of intangibility and sensoriality of musical experience that reveals its antinomic essence. Musical experience appears stretched between ineffable and exact, useless and necessary. The second part of the work is dedicated to the observation of the music phenomenon through the neuroscientific perspective.Starting from the impossible question “what is music?”, the paper attempts to circumscribe its meaning through different epistemological strategies: historical, empirical, objective.

Breakpoints of a Diachronic Experience
Get PDFExperience is investigated according to those breaking points where the unexpected surfaces and the surprise of the extraordinary and the alien breaks through. What happens is always in the postponement between pathos and response; this represents the fundamental agreement of a responsive phenomenology: it is never a quiet succession, but always something arriving too early or too late. Threshold experiences such as hesitation, delay, waiting, pausing, stumbling are investigated in this framework.Experience is investigated according to those breaking points where the unexpected surfaces and the surprise of the extraordinary and the alien breaks through.

Frammenti di vita in un insieme. Sulla dimensione pubblica dell’abitare
Get PDFThis issue focuses on dwelling as a practice, an experience of lived space narrated by literature, the arts, and the media. This implies a special focus on the significant crossings of these inhabited spaces, on the encounters, the relationships that are formed and the encounters that take shape there. Contributions address the public dimension of dwelling, which can be a temporary or continuous experience, and can take place either in institutional, social or cultural spaces privileged by literary and artistic representations or in scarcely travelled, unseen, and unthought-of places.Questo numero si concentra sull'abitare come pratica, come esperienza di spazio vissuto raccontata dalla letteratura, dalle arti e dai media. Ciò implica un’attenzione particolare agli attraversamenti significativi di questi spazi abitati, agli incontri, alle relazioni che si formano e agli incontri che vi prendono forma. I contributi affrontano la dimensione pubblica dell'abitare, che può essere un’esperienza temporanea o continuativa, e può avvenire sia in spazi istituzionali, sociali o culturali privilegiati dalle rappresentazioni letterarie e artistiche, sia in luoghi poco frequentati, non visti e non pensati
Ecofeminismos en América Latina: la reflexión entorno a la violencia extractivista y patriarcal de Mujeres Creando
No full textIn this essay, I am interested in analyzing, through an ecofeminist lens, the ways in which Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective Mujeres Creando has used graffiti in the first decades of the 21st century to question the intimate connection that exists in Latin America between colonialism and patriarchy. Through its interventions in the streets of La Paz, Mujeres Creando aims at an epistemological decolonization that troubles the dominant symbolic order by which men have been considered superior to nature and women, and the North has been thought of as a civilizing agent of a South seen as barbaric. In this way, the Bolivian collective contributes to ecofeminism, a lively current in the contemporary Latin American debate, which reveals how the pillage of neo-extractivist capitalism affects both bodies and territoriesEn este ensayo me interesa analizar, a través de un lente ecofeminista, los modos en que el colectivo anarco feminista boliviano Mujeres Creando, en las primeras décadas del siglo XXI, ha empleado el grafiti para cuestionar la conexión intima que existe en América Latina entre el colonialismo y el patriarcado. A través de sus intervenciones en las calles de La Paz, Mujeres Creando apunta a una descolonización epistemológica que fisure el orden simbólico dominante por el que el hombre se ha considerado superior a la naturaleza y a la mujer, y el norte se ha pensado como agente civilizador de un sur visto como bárbaro. De tal manera, el colectivo boliviano contribuye a las discusiones del ecofeminismo, corriente muy viva en el debate latinoamericano contemporáneo, que revela cómo los despojos del capitalismo neoextractivista afectan tanto a los cuerpos como a los territorios
¿Qué es lo contemporáneo en la literatura amazónica peruana?
Get PDFThis study analyzes the characteristics of contemporary urban Amazonian literature in Peru and compares it with texts written during the first three-thirds of the 20th century, up until the publication of Las tres mitades de Ino Moxo by César Calvo in 1981. The article argues that Calvo’s novel marked a turning point in how literature from Amazonian urban centers narrates and writes about the Amazon. To explore this, the concept of contemporaneity, as proposed by Agamben, Premat, and others, is analyzed and developed. The new texts are also examined considering the concept of subalternity, as theorized by Spivak and further developed by Rodríguez. Contributions from Marcone, Pau, and Cabel are incorporated into this study. Finally, this text proposes understanding urban literature as an open category, interconnected with the literature of Amazonian communities, linked to the entire Pan-Amazonian region, and exploring a diversity of topics, including environmental care, social conflicts, prostitution, the vindication of the Amazonian worldview, and the representation of diverse sexualities.El presente trabajo analiza las características de la literatura urbana amazónica contemporánea en el territorio peruano y la compara con los textos escritos en los primeros tres tercios del siglo XX hasta la publicación de Las tres mitades de Ino Moxo de César Calvo en 1981. El artículo propone que, con respecto a la literatura producida desde los centros urbanos amazónicos, la novela de Calvo marcó un antes y un después en la manera de narrar y escribir sobre la Amazonía. Para ello, se analiza y desarrolla el concepto de lo contemporáneo, planteado por Agamben, Premat, entre otros. Asimismo, se confrontan los nuevos textos con el concepto de subalternidad propuesto por Spivak y desarrollado por Rodríguez. Además, se incorporan al estudio los aportes de Marcone, Pau y Cabel. Finalmente, este texto propone entender lo urbano como una categoría abierta que posee vasos comunicantes con la literatura de las comunidades amazónicas, así como vínculos con el territorio panamazónico y la exploración de una diversidad de tópicos, entre los que se encuentran el cuidado del medio ambiente, los conflictos sociales, la prostitución, la reivindicación de la cosmovisión amazónica y la representación de sexualidades diversas.El presente trabajo analiza las características de la literatura urbana amazónica contemporánea en el territorio peruano y la compara con los textos escritos en los primeros tres tercios del siglo XX hasta la publicación de Las tres mitades de Ino Moxo de César Calvo en 1981.

The Psychological Motivations of Nazism and Its Effect on the Superego According to Judith Kestenberg
Get PDFJudith Kestenberg conducted extensive research into child victims of Nazi persecution. She sought not only to understand the psychological effects of the traumatic experiences and persecution experienced by those children but also to understand the psychological processes behind Nazi ideology and behavior. The objective of this article is to present some of her hypotheses about how Nazi ideology acted on both the victims’ and the Germans’ superegos, as well as to address her conception of the psychological motivations for Nazism. The author claims that Nazism managed to invade the superegos of both Germans and some of the victims, which meant that, in the case of the latter, the persecution continued, even after the end of the Nazi regime. She also states that the children of Nazis were also victims of this regime, whose ultimate motivation would be the Germans’ impulse to kill their own children
