Il campo dell’essere. Alcune note su poesia e psicoanalisi
Get PDFThe following paper addresses the huge complexity of the relationship psychoanalysis / poetry. It explores the theoretical hypothesis according to which the poetic element can be characterized as the search for a ‘state of being’ constituted through processes of ‘negativization’ of the object. Such processes would give form to the attempt of rediscovering original conditions which inspire different ways of moving across language. To say no to the world, then: in order to realize, as Alain Badiou writes, “the incessant migration towards heteroclite phenomena”. Thus, expressing the affirmative significance of poetry.L’ipotesi teorica di questo saggio esplora, nell’enorme molteplicità di questioni relative al rapporto psicoanalisi/poesia, la possibilità di caratterizzare il poetico come la ricerca di uno stato dell’essere costituito attraverso processi di negativizzazione dell’oggetto, nel tentativo di ritrovare condizioni originarie tali da permettere un riattraversamento del linguaggio. Dire di no al mondo per realizzare, come scrive Badiou, “l’incessante migrazione verso fenomeni eterocliti”, ed esprimendo, così, la valenza affermativa della poesia
Resonanz als das Andere der Vernunft Versuch einer Verortung im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs der Postmoderne
Get PDFIn the course of modernisation, religious narratives have lost their unifying power. They have been replaced by human reason and its objective of acting rationally towards progress, while experiences of relationships and their inextricably linked desire for resonance are receding into the background. However, people of modern societies will not be satisfied forever with efficiency-oriented feedback alone. They await recognition from outside; they await resonance. It is not without reason that Hartmut Rosa identifies the idea of the world falling silent, of one’s desperate call for the other finding no answer, as the deepest fear that drives people today. Against this background, Christa Rohde-Dachser describes the experience of resonance as a basic human need. Initially, she refers to examples from literature which show how resonance can be found in extraordinary experiences of nature, in the self-delimitation of love relationships or in the pre-reflexive experience of God, which requires no further justification. Subsequently, the author investigates resonance experiences in the field of psychoanalysis. In the final part of her work, she deals with the experience of resonance in a pluralistic society where there are different interpretations of meaning which are equally valid.Im Zuge der Modernisierung haben die religiösen Erzählungen ihre Einheit stiftende Kraft verloren. An ihre Stelle ist die menschliche Vernunft getreten und mit ihr die Logik eines rationalen, ganz auf Fortschritt ausgerichtetes Handelns, während Beziehungserfahrungen und mit ihr der unverzichtbare Wunsch nach Resonanz immer stärker in den Hintergrund treten. Menschen lassen sich auf Dauer aber nicht allein mit effizienzorientierten Rückmeldungen abspeisen. Sie warten auf Anerkennung, die von außen kommt; sie warten auf Resonanz. Hartmut Rosa hat die Vorstellung von einem Verstummen der Welt, in der der verzweifelte Ruf nach dem Anderen keine Antwort mehr findet, nicht umsonst als die tiefste Angst bezeichnet, der die Menschen heute umtreibt. Die Autorin beschreibt vor diesem Hintergrund die Erfahrung von Resonanz als menschliches Grundbedürfnis und zeigt als erstes an Beispielen aus der Literatur, wie diese sich dort in außergewöhnlichen Naturerlebnissen, in der Selbstentgrenzung von Liebesbeziehungen und in der präreflexiven Erfahrung Gottes, die keiner weiteren Begründung mehr bedarf, erfahrbar wird. Anschließend wendet sie sich Resonanzerfahrungen im Bereich der Psychoanalyse zu. Im letzten Abschnitt ihrer Arbeit befasst sie sich mit Resonanzerfahrungen in der pluralistischen Gesellschaft, in der es unterschiedliche Sinndeutungen gibt, die gleichermaßen legitim sind und nach Anerkennung verlangen
La Torre e il Giardino. Per un\u27interpretazione iniziatica de Gli Anelli di Saturno di W. G. Sebald
No full textL’articolo intende proporre una lettura de Gli anelli di Saturno di W. G. Sebald come testo focalizzato attorno a un viaggio di tipo iniziatico. Nel testo sembrano infatti essere presenti una serie di graduali trasformazioni che portano il narratore-viaggiatore degli Anelli verso un progressivo avvicinamento a una forma di conoscenza più profonda del reale. Il percorso iniziatico prevede che il soggetto si affranchi dal peso del Tempo ed entri in una dimensione post-esistenziale e attinga una visione distaccata del mondo, sempre più orientata alla riconquista di un sapere basato sulla legge suprema dell’Analogia, tema chiave del libro. L’Analogia rappresenta la forma regolatrice del cosmo e il principio in grado di opporsi alla Distruzione attraverso una ricomposizione della vita che ne unisca per corrispondenza le componenti umane, naturali e animali.The article proposes an analysis of W. G. Sebald’s Rings of Saturn as a text focused on an initiatory journey. In the text there seems to be a path of gradual transformations that progressively lead the traveller-narrator to a deeper form of knowledge of reality. The initiatory journey provides for the subject to get rid of the burden of Time, to enter post-existential dimension and finally to take a detached view of the world in order to regain a knowledge based on Analogy. Analogy, one of the key themes in the book, is seen as the regulating form of the cosmos and as the principle that can withstand Destruction through correspondences between human, natural and animal components of life

Ma chi lo conosce William T. Vollmann? Mistero e autocostruzione nelle interviste e nei testi di William T. Vollmann
Get PDFLa reputazione letteraria di Vollmann si basa su un’immagine dell’autore come devoto alla sincerità, al racconto della verità, e a un’apertura perfino patologica al mondo. Ma così come ci sono artificio e creatività nelle sue opere letterarie, anche le sue interviste lasciano intravedere affascinanti strategie di autocostruzione e occultamento, e un’oscillazione tra il rivelare e il celare, fornendo utili spunti per analizzare le sue opere letterarie sia narrative che saggistiche. Vollmann fa dell’onestà e dell’apertura una virtù, ma si trincera e si costruisce, divertendosi a volte a giocare maliziosamente con la sua identità di autore in uno spazio testuale a metà strada tra realtà e finzione, nascondendo se stesso in bella vista tra le proprie creazioni.Vollmann’s literary reputation rests on an image of him as an author committed to sincerity, truth-telling, and an even pathological openness to the world. But as there is artifice and creativity within his literary works, his interviews also give a glimpse into fascinating strategies of self-construction and concealment, and an interplay between revealing and hiding, which provide useful avenues for parsing his literary works, fiction and non-fiction alike. As Vollmann makes a virtue of honesty and openness, he also self-protects, self-constructs, and at times plays mischievously with an authorial identity in the space between fact and fiction, hiding within the plain sight that he creates
Il problema (est)etico della rappresentazione: Poor People di William T. Vollmann
Get PDFAttraverso il confronto fra Let Us Now Praise Famous Men di James Agee e Walker Evans e Poor People di William T. Vollmann, l’articolo si propone di mostrare come quest’ultimo rifletta e cerchi di risolvere i problemi etici, politici e formali della rappresentazione documentaria. In particolare, si analizzano le modalità attraverso le quali viene problematizzato il processo di mediazione e di fruizione e lo specifico della retorica adottata da Vollmann per rendere conto dell’esperienza di un’alterità subalterna.Through the comparison between James Agee’s and Walker Evans’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and William T. Vollmann’s Poor People, this essay focuses on ethical, political and aesthetic problems concerning documentary representation. Namely I analyse the ways in which Vollmann puts the mediation process into question and the rhetoric through which the experience of otherness is depicted in a work of literary non-fiction

Quasimodo and the Spiritualization of Cruelty, Saba’s Uncanny Shortcuts, Montale’s Grotesque Imaginary: Complex Genealogies of Italian Poetry on the Jewish Genocide
Get PDFThe memory of anti-Jewish persecution intersected the work of prominent authors in Italian twentieth century poetry, often following oblique and unexpected trajectories that touch authors such as Montale, Sereni, Fortini, Pasolini, Saba, Levi, Quasimodo. This essay intends to probe a genealogical juncture in this poetic history, bringing into purview a series of poliperspectival models of poetic writing about the Shoah elaborated by Salvatore Quasimodo, Umberto Saba and Eugenio Montale in the early postwar years. If Quasimodo’s poesia civilepaved the way to a literary monumentalization of memory, such poetic configuration ultimately might be seen to hinge on what Friedrich Nietzsche critically termed a “spiritualization of cruelty.” Thus it was progressively identified as a potential anti-model for Italian poetry dealing with the memory of the persecution – as a reading of Montale’s treatment of this theme reveals. On the other hand, Saba condesned his afterthoughts about the “cannibalism” of racial persecution in Scorciatoie e raccontini(Shortcuts and Very Short Stories): a book of poèmes en prosethat possesses “the accent of poetry and the rigor of aphorism.” These uncanny and ironical shortcuts raise corrosive doubts about the value attached to a purported monumental memory of the Shoah and bring to attention the existence of genealogical complexity in Italian poetic writing about the Jewish genocide that calls for adequate critical recognition
