Rules and Codes: Digital Regulation Between Technical Architectures and Vulnerable Subjectivities
No full textIl saggio analizza, da una prospettiva sociologico-giuridica, la trasformazione della normatività nella società digitale, assumendo il codice informatico come vettore primario di regolazione sociale. L’indagine si colloca nel solco del code-based approach sviluppato da Lawrence Lessig, riformulandone criticamente i presupposti attraverso l’apporto della teoria dei sistemi di Niklas Luhmann e della teoria degli agenti software di Gunther Teubner, con particolare attenzione ai concetti di autopoiesi normativa, collisione tra razionalità parziali e attanti tecnici non umani.
Viene proposta una tassonomia dei modelli di regolazione tecno-digitale – Lex Informatica, Lex Algorithmica, Lex ex Machina, Lex Cryptographica – ed esaminate le ricadute normative di tale trasformazione, interrogando l’efficacia delle recenti risposte legislative europee (GDPR, DSA, DMA, AI Act), interpretate come tentativi di riappropriazione giuridica dello spazio digitale.
Nella parte conclusiva, l’attenzione si sposta verso il profilo soggettivo di Code is Law, concentrandosi sulla figura del minore, intesa come soggettività fragile, computazionalmente costruita e normata da dispositivi performativi. Il minore, in quanto attante esposto e punto funzionale di una normatività opaca, rappresenta dunque oggi il luogo critico in cui si misura la tenuta del diritto come istituzione capace di nominare, proteggere e riconoscere la persona.
L’obiettivo è descrivere l’efficacia conformativa degli ambienti digitali nella formazione dell’identità minorile e nella riconfigurazione della tutela giuridica.This essay examines, from a socio-legal perspective, the transformation of normativity in the digital society, considering computer code as the primary vector of social regulation. The analysis builds on the code-based approach developed by Lawrence Lessig, while critically reformulating its assumptions through the contributions of Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory and Gunther Teubner’s theory of software agents, with a particular focus on the concepts of normative autopoiesis, collision of partial rationalities, and non-human technical actants.
A taxonomy of techno-digital regulatory models— Lex Informatica, Lex Algorithmica, Lex ex Machina, and Lex Cryptographica — is proposed, and the normative implications of this transformation are explored, assessing the effectiveness of recent European legislative solutions (GDPR, DSA, DMA, AI Act) as attempts to reclaim legal authority within the digital space.
In the concluding section, the focus shifts to the subjective dimension of Code is Law, centering on the figure of the minor as a vulnerable subjectivity, computationally constructed and regulated by performative digital devices. The minor, as an exposed actant and functional node within an opaque normative system, emerges as the critical site for assessing the resilience of law as an institution capable of naming, protecting, and recognizing the person.
The aim is to describe the conformative power of digital environments in shaping minor’s identity and in the reconfiguring legal protection
From Tierra del Fuego to Post-Unification Italy: Fuegian Collections and the Making of a Nation
No full textThe contribution offers an anthropological reflection starting from the Italian ethnological museum collections originating from Tierra del Fuego. These objects are examined as artefacts capable of speaking not only about the past but also about tensions, claims, and possibilities of the present. The aim is to observe how the histories connected to these objects reflect – and at times help to shape – the historical memory of a nation-state in search of legitimation and identity, as well as to explore how they might be re-signified today through participatory and dialogical practices with source communities.Il contributo offre una riflessione di carattere antropologico a partire dalle collezioni museali italiane di interesse etnologico provenienti dalla Terra del Fuoco, interrogandole come oggetti in grado di parlare non solo del passato, ma anche delle tensioni, rivendicazioni e possibilità del presente. L’obiettivo è osservare in che modo le storie connesse a questi oggetti riflettano, e a volte contribuiscano a costruire, la memoria storica di uno Stato nazionale in cerca di legittimazione e identità, ma anche come possano oggi essere risignificati attraverso pratiche partecipative e dialogiche con le comunità di interesse

1832-1842: a Crucial but Forgotten Decade in the Life of Manuel García Jr.
No full textManuel García Jr. is probably the most renowned among the singing teachers of the 19th century. Such fame, however, is not matched by an in-depth knowledge of his life history, especially regarding the crucial ten-year period between 1832-1842, which starts with the death of his father in 1832 and ends with his achievement as a fully established teacher at the Paris Conservatory in 1842. During this decade, he published two works that had a revolutionary impact on the history of singing: Mémoire sur la voix humaine and Traité Complet de l\u27Art du Chant. García conceived these works to assert his primacy in the knowledge and teaching of the so-called \u27voix sombrée\u27, the vocal emission that was considered highly topical in Paris after Duprez\u27s return from Italy. The link between García, Duprez, the operatic repertoire of the 1830s and the \u27voix sombrée\u27 can be found in the life and work of Manuel and his first famous pupil and first wife, Eugénie, in Italy from 1835 to 1839. In Italy, they became acquainted with the works of Bellini and Donizetti in the early days of their dissemination. The literature on García has long ignored many of the key events of this crucial period and has often assigned incorrect dates to both the publication of his teaching works and the start of his professorship at the conservatory. This study aims to fill this significant gap, in order to fully highlight the role played by García during the period that saw the transition of vocal art from bel canto to melodrama.Manuel García Jr. is probably the most renowned among the singing teachers of the 19th century.
