L’anima minima attraverso Klossowski. Lyotard tra estetica del contingente e modello percettologico dell’automa
No full textThis article aims to highlight some possible readings of Jean-François Lyotard\u27s Anima minima that, as things stand, appear to be under-researched, thus favouring the qualification of the French philosopher\u27s work as a mere ornament for his broader investigation on the sublime. As a framework, the article argues Lyotard\u27s parodic use of the concept of anima in relation to the original Aristotelian meaning, i.e. through a resemantisation such as to coincide with another Stagirite’s concept that is at its antipodes: that of automa. However the core of the work is the Lyotard\u27s interpretation through the semiotic of impulses developed by Pierre Klossowski in his Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle. Therefore emerges a characterisation of the concept of anima minima as the most radical of principles both for an aesthetics of contingency and for a perceptual model of the automa, in antithesis to an apophantic aesthetics of the subject.--
Alcune considerazioni sulla presunta "φυλλοβολια" in Ar. fr. 264 K.-A.
No full textQuesta breve nota discute le precedenti interpretazioni relative all’elenco dei cibi presente in Ar. fr. 264 K.-A.. Attraverso un esame dei luoghi addotti dagli studiosi (Suet. Nero 25; Eratosth. FGrHist 14; Plut. Glor. Ath. 6, 349a 10-13), si mette in evidenza che il frammento non riguarda né un rituale imprecisato né, tantomeno, la pratica della φυλλοβολία. Si suggerisce, infine, un’interpretazione figurata del frammento in senso meta-letterario.This brief note discusses the previous interpretations proposed for the list of dishes in Ar. fr. 264 K.-A.. By examining the sources provided by the scholars (Suet. Nero 25; Eratosth. FGrHist 14; Plut. Glor. Ath. 6, 349a 10-13), it is argued that the fragment is neither centered on an unspecified ritual nor on the habit of φυλλοβολία. A figured interpretation of the fragment in a meta-literary sense is eventually recommended
Red Gold: The Assault on the Porphyry Quarries in Trentino
No full textThe paper analyses how the ’ndrangheta achieved to take root in the extraction of porphyry in Trentino to then extent its influence to other economic sectors and to the democratic life of the small municipality of Lona-Lases, up to the highest political and institutional exponents in the province. The results of the analysis highlights how preexisting conditions enabled ’ndrangheta to settle its first organized group (the so called “locale”) in Trentino-Alto Adige: the weaknesses and distortions which have characterized this economic sector since its birth and during its rapid development and the presence of an extended grey area.Lo scritto si occupa di analizzare come la ’ndrangheta sia riuscita a insediarsi nel comparto estrattivo del porfido in Trentino per poi espandere la propria influenza ad altri settori economici e influenzare la vita democratica del piccolo Comune di Lona-Lases, fino a stringere rapporti con le più alte cariche politiche-istituzionali della provincia. I risultati dell’analisi evidenziano come l’insediamento della prima “locale” di ’ndrangheta in Trentino-Alto Adige sia stato reso possibile dalle condizioni preesistenti: le debolezze e distorsioni che, sin dall’inizio e durante il suo rapido sviluppo, hanno caratterizzato questo settore economico, nonché la presenza di un’ampia area grigia
CORAL CARBONATE PRODUCTION DURING THE PALEOCENE: INSIGHTS FROM THE MAIELLA MASSIF (PENNAPIEDIMONTE, CENTRAL ITALY)
No full textThe succession of the Maiella massif is analyzed, focusing on the colonial-coral bearing deposits occurring just below and immediately above the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. The Upper Cretaceous material is dominated by rudists and larger benthic foraminifera with a significant contribution from colonial corals. In the Lower Paleocene, the first two groups are absent and colonial corals dominate the skeletal assemblage. This supports the hypothesis of a good recovery of colonial corals carbonate production following the end Cretaceous extinction and their overall resilience. Similar to modern reefs, Lower Paleocene bioconstructions have a framework dominated by corals and red calcareous algae. However, unlike modern reefs, micrite makes up the vast majority of the internal sediment, suggesting a development into a low-energy environment. Compared to Upper Paleocene coral boundstones, those from the Lower Paleocene of Maiella display a higher abundance of corals, suggesting a reduction in coral carbonate production during the Late Paleocene. This decline is also reflected by a period of scarcity of coral-dominated facies throughout the Tethys, starting from the latest Paleocene and extending till the end of the Middle Eocene. This can be connected to global temperatures, which rise in the Thanetian and remain relatively high till the end of the Middle Eocene, however, other factors most likely played a role. The quantitative analysis of the skeletal assemblage turns out to be a useful instrument for tracking the effect of environmental changes. Further data, especially from long and extensive successions of neritic carbonates such as those of Maiella, may help in disentangling the effects of the other environmental variables
A NEW FOSSIL CLARIFIES THE ANATOMY AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE EOCENE GYMNODONT FISH †ZIGNOICHTHYS OBLONGUS (ZIGNO, 1874)
No full textThe Eocene tetraodontiform fish †Zignoichthys oblongus (Zigno, 1874) from the Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte, northeastern Italy, is redescribed in detail based upon new material. This taxon exhibits a combination of features (parasphenoid shaft-like and bearing a ventral flange; non-protractile upper jaw; teeth incorporated into beak-like jaws; premaxilla without ascending process; palatine massive and firmly connected to the ethmo-vomerine region; supracleithrum distinctly oblique) that clearly supports its assignment to the gymnodonts, suborder Tetraodontoidei. The analysis of this new material also demonstrates that the previous apparent absence of plesiomorphic characters (e.g., spiny dorsal fin) was the result of taphonomic biases. †Zignoichthys shares a number of features (basisphenoid, urohyal, beryciform foramen perforating the anterior ceratohyal, ribs, more than 20 vertebrae, epineurals, 12 principal caudal-fin rays, procurrent caudal-fin rays, unfused hypurals, autogenous haemal arch and spine of the third preural vertebra, dorsal-fin spines, scapular foramen entirely enclosed by the scapula) with the extant Triodon, which support their sister-group relationship and their basal position within the Tetraodontoidei. An analysis of the skeletal morphology of †Zignoichthys is presented and compared with that of other gymnodonts. We also compare our phylogenetic results with previous hypotheses about Tetraodontoidei relationships
L’eau et le désir : sur l’œuvre de Pierre Samson
No full textPierre Samson (1958) draws a map of desire that crosses Brazil and blurs the boundaries of time. In Le Messie de Belém (1996), Un garçon de compagnie (1997) and Il était une fois une ville (1999), he shows a world crossed by the forbidden and violence, the force of the past haunting the present. Beneath the thin film of history, Samson offers the reader the map of our passions, and beneath Brazil, both real and imaginary, he reveals the elsewhere that hides and reveals itself within us all. It seems to me that Samson is trying to show the strength of desire, its capacity to cross prohibitions, ages, groups. At a first reading, one can easily hear echoes of Gide, Genet, and perhaps Foucault as well, the last volumes of his Histoire de la sexualité. In many aspects, Samson is nostalgic for a world where passions are not subject to law, norms and judgement. It is no coincidence that desire is less and less in evidence when it leaves the Brazilian space. In the Brazilian trilogy, but also in La maison des pluies (2013) and L’œil de cuivre (2015) the same themes return with force and the informed reader cannot fail to notice the insistence with which Samson uses water as an element capable of framing the representation of desire. Rivers, ponds, natural pools abound in the Brazilian trilogy: immersed in water, the characters do not impede their desires. In La maison des pluies and L’œil de cuivre, water is present in the form of rain, sweet and melancholic. In my paper I would like to explore this cartography of desire and this natural element with multiple functions; to do so I will use Gaston Bachelard’s study, L’eau et les rêves, on the one hand, and Dosse’s recently published study Les vérités du roman on the other.Pierre Samson (1958) dessine une cartographie du désir qui traverse le Brésil et brouille les frontières du temps. Dans Le Messie de Belém (1996), Un garçon de compagnie (1997) et Il était une fois une ville (1999), il montre un monde traversé par l’interdit et la violence, et par-dessus tout par la force du passé qui hante le présent. Sous la mince pellicule de l’histoire, Samson offre au lecteur la carte de nos passions et sous le Brésil aussi bien réel qu’imaginaire, il donne à lire l’ailleurs qui se cache et se révèle dans le corps de chacun d\u27entre nous. Il me semble que Samson s’efforce de montrer la force du désir, sa capacité de traverser les interdits, les âges, les groupes. Dès la première lecture, on peut facilement entendre l’écho de Gide, de Genet, peut-être de Foucault aussi, celui des derniers tomes de l’Histoire de la sexualité. À bien des égards, Samson est nostalgique d’un monde où les passions ne subissent pas la loi, la norme, le jugement. Ce n’est pas un hasard si le désir est de moins en moins présent lorsqu’il quitte l’espace brésilien.
Dans la trilogie brésilienne, mais aussi dans La maison des pluies (2013) et dans L’œil de cuivre (2015), les mêmes thèmes reviennent avec force et le lecteur averti ne peut manquer de remarquer l’insistance avec laquelle Samson utilise l’eau en tant qu’élément capable d’encadrer la représentation du désir. Les fleuves, les bassins, les piscines naturelles abondent dans la trilogie brésilienne : immergés dans l’eau, les personnages n’entravent pas leurs désirs. Dans La maison des pluies et dans L’œil de cuivre, l’eau est présente sous forme de pluie, douce et mélancolique. Dans ma contribution, je voudrais explorer cette cartographie du désir et cet élément naturel aux fonctions multiples, en m\u27appuyant sur l’étude de Gaston Bachelard, L’eau et les rêves et sur l\u27ouvrage de François Dosse, Les vérités du roman.
