Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis in Leo Löwenthal
Get PDFThis article explores the role of the psychoanalytic component in Leo Lowenthal's analysis of domination, in order to understand the architecture of the subject that disintegrates and is configured within the capitalist organization of existence, whose contemporary deployments show not only the validity of Löwenthal's approaches, as a Frankfurtian thinker, but also the imperative need, from a Latin American perspective, to establish constructive links with his legacy.This study aims to analyse psychoanalysis as a basic component of Leo Löwenthal’s critical theory. It focuses on the configuration of subjectivity within late capitalism. Bearing in mind Löwenthal's idea that the culture industry is psychoanalysis in reverse, it also explores the actuality of some problematic components of the sociability that the cultural industry promotes and reproduces. They deserve to be psychoanalytically addressed.
 
Pratiche di cantiere e continuità funzionali: osservazioni sulle modalità di rinnovamento in alcune fabbriche veronesi di epoca romanica
Get PDFThe need to ensure the continuity of liturgical practice during the adaptation of the architectural body sometimes required the adoption of construction site management methods that were highly attentive to pre-existing structures. This is particularly evident in cases involving significant sites that had to keep the sacred space operational even during the complex renovation work. If the replacement of the entire structure was planned, every action had to be carefully coordinated, and the project had to take into account the old structure, preserving it as long as possible. The essay identifies some cases in Verona where a clear strategy of succession seems to have influenced the new icnography. The monastery of San Fermo Maggiore (1065) and the cathedral of Santa Maria Matricolare (first half of the 12th century), through the evaluation of certain archaeological indicators, suggest the adoption of a deliberate intention to preserve the pre-existing structure until the new one could fully accommodate ritual actions. In both cases, the ancient buildings were entirely replaced while maintaining their integrity until the most advanced phase of construction on the new Romanesque structures.La necessità di garantire la continuità della prassi liturgica nei momenti di adeguamento del corpo architettonico richiese alle volte l'adozione di metodi di gestione del cantiere molto attenti alle preesistenze. Ciò è soprattutto evidente nei casi in cui si è innanzi a realtà di qualche rilievo, che dovevano mantenere in funzione lo spazio sacro anche durante le articolate operazioni edilizie di rinnovamento. Se addirittura si fosse programmata la sostituzione dell'intera fabbrica, ogni azione avrebbe dovuta essere accuratamente coordinata e il progetto doveva tenere in considerazione l'antica struttura da mantenere integra il più a lungo possibile. Nel saggio vengono individuati alcuni casi a Verona in cui sembra di rintracciare un preciso programma di avvicendamento che addirittura giunse a condizionare il nuovo progetto. Il monastero di San Fermo maggiore (1065) e la cattedrale di Santa Maria matricolare (prima metà del XII sec.), attraverso la valutazione di alcuni indicatori archeologici, suggeriscono che fu adottata una precisa volontà a preservare la struttura preesistente fino a quando quella nuova fosse stata in grado di accogliere pienamente le azioni rituali e riverberarle nel futuro senza cesure. In entrambi i casi le antiche fabbriche furono sostituite integralmente mantenendo intatta la propria struttura fino alla fase più avanzata dei lavori della nuova struttura romanica
Armar todo el reino. La milicia sarda en los siglos XVI y XVII
Get PDFL’aumento progressivo, dall’inizio del XVI secolo, della componente permanente di soldati professionisti negli eserciti reali fu all’origine di inconvenienti di natura logistica ed economica difficilmente superabili. Dotata di un grande impero da difendere, la monarchia ispanica concentrò le sue limitate risorse militari professionali nelle principali frontiere strategiche. La necessità di stabilire delle priorità implicò che nei fronti ritenuti secondari la difesa continuasse ad essere affidata a istituzioni di stampo tradizionale come le milizie locali.Questo articolo esamina la milizia sarda durante i secoli XVI e XVII. Secondo la documentazione archivistica, le forme tradizionali di collaborazione militare dell’isola con la monarchia asburgica vennero profondamente riviste dopo la caduta di La Goletta in mano turca nel 1574

Editors' Introduction
Get PDFThe thought of P.A. Florensky is a peculiar expression of Russian philosophy and, more generally, of Russian cultural identity. At the same time, it can nevertheless be regarded as a legitimate heir to the cultural tradition which from its powerful Ionian roots unfolds through the peaks and abysses of Western philosophy stricto sensu, up to the ultimate crises of contemporary thought..
The Unconscious as the Alien
Get PDFThrough a comparison of the phenomenological motif of the alien and the psychoanalytic motif of the unconscious, a critique is advanced against Cartesian dualism, which recurs today in the natural sciences and in the split of the contemporary individual, divided between spirit and nature, the proper world and the alien world, the inner sphere and the outer sphere. It is a matter of thinking of an original subtraction, an absent presence that begins with ourselves, in a slippage that achieves no synthesis.Through a comparison of the phenomenological motif of the alien and the psychoanalytic motif of the unconscious, a critique is advanced against Cartesian dualism, which recurs today in the natural sciences and in the split of the contemporary individual, divided between spirit and nature, the proper world and the alien world, the inner sphere and the outer sphere.

Beyond the Primacy of Representation
Get PDFThe primacy of representation, to which – at least according to Paul Ricoeur – Edmund Husserl would have remained faithful, is radically questioned in Emmanuel Levinas’ famous essay on the "ruin of representation" (1959). The phenomenological structure of intentionality, in which “something appears as something”, confirms the need to “break out of the magic circle of representation”. Indeed, it is precisely by means of a detailed analysis of “intentionality”, insofar as the latter appears as characterized by an essential Mehrmeinun. Levinas brings out the overcoming of representation, that is, the abandonment of the latter's claim to subordinate thought to the objective necessity of presence. Within the horizon of presence, the necessity of being-thus-and-not-otherwise overwhelms the sense of the possible, and the actual evidence annihilates the being-able-to-be-otherwise of human experience. Through the analysis of intentionality and its potentiality, it is possible to bring out the transition from a philosophy of the necessary constraints of evidence, linked to the primacy of representation, to a philosophy of the power-able-to-be-otherwise. After all, the ruin of representation is the ruin of the instant or eternity of evidence, relegated into the actuality of consciousness. By subtracting itself from the self-referential necessity of evidence, the ethical Sinngebung evocated by Levinas at the end of his 1959 article connects intentionality to the sense of the possible, making explicit its openness to the future in radical form.The primacy of representation, to which – at least according to Paul Ricoeur – Edmund Husserl would have remained faithful, is radically questioned in Emmanuel Levinas’ famous essay on the "ruin of representation" (1959).

Into Horror with Walpole
Get PDFThis article highlights some of the key aspects that laid the ground for the new literary genre of the Gothic novel. Drawing from different interests and traditions, Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto (1764) defied rules, critics, and philosophies of the times deliberately, through a prolific tension between past and present, word and image, “fancy” and reality.Questo saggio mette in luce alcuni aspetti chiave che spianarono la strada al nuovo genere letterario del romanzo gotico. Attingendo a piene mani da un ampio ventaglio di tradizioni e interessi culturali, il Castello d'Otranto (1764) di Horace Walpole sfidava a viso aperto i canoni, le convenzioni e le filosofie del tempo, in una tensione feconda tra passato e presente, parola e immagine, finzione e realtà
L’utopia subalterna nel Wasteocene: Sumar di Diamela Eltit
Get PDFThis paper aims to explore the intertwining of utopia, reality, and politics in the construction of a more socially just, free, and inclusive world through 21st-century Chilean working-class literature. Utopia understood as a means of expressing desires and hopes, finds its generative core in thorough reflections on the problems of the present. Diamela Eltit’s novel Sumar, which explores the pressing issues of the Chilean working world and the utopian collective reorganization of marginal, dissident, and liminal subjectivities, is an example of this dialogical relationship between the factual and the fictional. Sociosemiotic analysis will provide the methodological and speculative basis for presenting, on the one hand, the wasting relationships that shape the world of the neo-working class; on the other, Gramscian political action of the subaltern classes, understood as class alliances for mobilization against capitalism and the bourgeois state.Il presente lavoro intende esplorare l’intreccio tra utopia, realtà e politica nella costruzione di un mondo socialmente più giusto, libero e solidale attraverso letteratura working class cilena del XXI secolo.
L’utopia, intesa come mezzo per esprimere desideri e speranze, trova il suo nucleo generativo nelle profonde riflessioni sulle problematiche del presente (Bloch 1959). Questo rapporto dialogico tra fattuale e finzionale viene esemplificato nel romanzo Sumar (2018) di Diamela Eltit, che esplora le criticità del mondo lavorativo cileno e l’utopica riorganizzazione collettiva di soggettività marginali, dissidenti e scomode. L’analisi sociosemiotica (Ferraro 2020) costituirà la base metodologica e speculativa per presentare, da un lato, le wasting relationship (Armiero 2020) che configurano il mondo della neo working class; dall’altro, la gramsciana azione politica delle classi subalterne, intesa come alleanze di classi per la mobilitazione contro il capitalismo e lo Stato borghese
