Gli anni di Gorbačëv. Dinamiche politiche e nuovi equilibri internazionali nello spazio mediterraneo
No full textIl numero si propone come contributo italiano al dibattito storiografico internazionale attorno alla figura di Michail Gorbačëv, a poco più di tre anni dalla sua scomparsa, in un contesto segnato dall’invasione su larga scala dell’Ucraina da parte della Federazione Russa, avviata il 24 febbraio 2022, che ha riportato al centro delle relazioni internazionali alcuni nodi irrisolti legati al crollo dell’Urss, all’evoluzione dello spazio postsovietico e al nuovo (dis)ordine internazionale scaturito dalla fine della Guerra fredda. I saggi mirano inoltre a collocare il rapporto fra Gorbačëv e l’Europa socialista entro una dinamica storica di più lungo periodo, interrogandosi sulla memoria di quella stagione e sulle sue conseguenze nelle vicende dei paesi dell’Europa centrale e orientale
Boris Vantalov — B. Constrictor: from a Dichotomy to a Convergence
No full textВ статье рассматривается поэтиче- ское творчество Бориса Ванталова — Б. Констриктора (настоящая фа- милия — Аксельрод) с целью найти точки соприкосновения двух автор- ских ипостасей, сосуществующих в своеобразном споре за авторское ≪я≫ на протяжении более 40 лет. Предприняты попытки найти общее в двух разных поэтиках — внешне конвенциональной (Ванталов) и экс- периментальной, в своих истоках идущей от авангарда и театра абсур- да (Констриктор). Прослеживаются темы, объединяющие два взгляда на мир и на самого себя в свете вы- работанной авторской философии.The poetic works of Boris Vantalov and B. Constrictor (real name — Axelrod) are scrutinized in the paper in order to find intersection points of two authors’ personas which have existed in some kind of a controversy over the author’s self for more than 40 years. A few attempts are made to find the common in two different poetics — the one which is on the surface conventional (Vantalov) and the one which is experimental, stemming from avangarde and the theatre of absurd (Constrictor). Themes which unite two worldviews and two self-perceptions in the light of elaborated author’s philosophy are pointed out
MacIntyre and Morgenthau. Two Critics of Morality
No full textAlasdair C. MacIntyre and Hans J. Morgenthau are two central figures in the intellectual history of the 20th century who are rarely mentioned together. Without denying the important differ-ences and the distance between the two, these article shows that they converge – partially yet importantly – both in their critique of contemporary morality and in some of the proposed so-lutions. Morgenthau and MacIntyre believed that the post-Enlightenment project of establishing rationalistically an objective and compelling standard of morality is doomed to fail. They also believe that, absent such framework, and given the rejection of pre-modern moral systems by central actors and institutions of modern societies, morality – and social life with it - are left in a Weberian/Nietzschean: de facto individualism, anarchism, and incoherence. The article con-cludes with an invitation of a further and systematic comparison: not only between MacIntyre and Morgenthau’s moral and social critique, but also between their once again converging, orig-inal stance on the epistemological status of the socio-political sciences
Libertà e impero. Gli Stati Uniti e il mondo 1776-2016
No full textCosa sta accadendo agli Stati Uniti dopo il ritorno alla Casa Bianca di Donald Trump? La doppia torsione autoritaria sul piano interno e neo-imperiale su quello internazionale è irreversibile? O gli Usa dispongono ancora di anticorpi politici e istituzionali per reggere l’urto dell’assalto che Donald Trump sta portando alla loro democrazia?
A questi interrogativi ha provato a dare una risposta il prof. Mario Del Pero, che ha dialogato con la prof. Elisabetta Vezzosi, docente di Storia degli Stati Uniti d’America all’Università degli Studi di Trieste, introdotti e moderati dal giornalista Francesco De Filippo. Mario Del Pero è professore di Storia Internazionale e di Storia della Politica Estera Statunitense a SciencesPo, Parigi. Editorialista per i quotidiani “Il Domani” e “Il Giornale di Brescia”, i suoi commenti sono apparsi, tra gli altri, sul “Washington Post”, il “Guardian”, “Le Monde”, “Le Figaro” e “The Hill”
Diritti umani e paradigma securitario
No full textHuman rights are an effective tool in the fight against the injustices of the prison system in our contemporary societies. Yet, they can only become so if they are extended not only to the rights of liberty, within which the neoliberal discourse would like to restrict them, but also to social rights. Without this extension, the distance between the human rights discourse and the pre-dominantrepressive paradigm narrows dangerously, as shown by the way in which legitimate concern for victims has fueled this paradigm, and as also shown by the paradoxical resistance that this paradigm opposes to certain extensions of the power to punish, such as the introduc-tion, in Italy, of the offence of torture, and the strengthening of criminal policies against sexist and sexual violence
Koselleck and Foucault: Crisis, Eschatology and Experimentation
No full textThis article responds to the suggestion implicit in Reinhart Koselleck’s Critique and Crisis that the Enlightenment worldview should be understood as a kind of secularized eschatology. Specifically, I hope to gain more precision about what this apparently vague diagnosis means and what to do about it. To do this, I will place Michel Foucault’s readings of Kant and Baudelaire in ‘What is “Enlightenment”?’ alongside Koselleck’s own account in Critique and Crisis to flesh out some of the conceptual richness that is missing from the latter. I also draw on a number of religious scholars – particularly J.J. Collins – to give a more precise idea what in particular makes Enlightenment eschatological. Thus, I argue that, at the level of its conceptual grammar, Enlightenment rehearses many of the features of what Collins calls the apocalyptic genre. I conclude by suggesting that Foucault’s concept of an experience book provides a model for future philosophies less beholden to the moral-eschatological framework latent in modern critique
Costruire una cultura della valutazione condivisa in classe attraverso il patto per la valutazione. Una riflessione metodologica
No full textIl presente contributo si configura come un articolo riflessivo sul processo di costruzione e operazionalizzazione di costrutti teorici complessi nella ricerca educativa, con particolare riferimento al concetto di cultura condivisa della valutazione. A partire da una ricerca-azione condotta in una classe di liceo scientifico (23 studenti, 8 docenti), si analizza il percorso che ha portato alla progettazione e implementazione del Patto per la valutazione, inteso sia come strumento operativo sia come processo partecipativo. L’articolo adotta una prospettiva costruttivista integrata, valorizzando la riflessività come risorsa per interrogare il rapporto tra teoria e prassi, l’adeguatezza delle rappresentazioni empiriche e il ruolo situato del ricercatore. Le sfide affrontate nella co-costruzione di pratiche valutative con divise sono discusse alla luce delle implicazioni metodologiche e pedagogiche di una ricerca orientata al cambiamento
“Golem walks with feet of clay”: Mythomotorics in the Poems of Elena Fanailova
No full textВ статье анализируется мифомо- торика поэтического текста Елены Фанайловой «#Валерик» из цикла «#Лисистратапишет». Рассматрива- ется роль контаминации нескольких мифологий: еврейской, греческой и христианской. Особое внима- ние уделяется еще двум аспектам: отсылке к лермонтовскому претек- сту (стихотворению «Валерик») и трагедии блогера Павла Петеля, которые развивают мифологиче- ский образ реки смерти. Анализ стихотворения позволяет выделить особую роль мессианского мифа, реализация которого коррелиру- ет с идеями Вальтера Беньямина. Делается вывод, что Голем-Телем как центральный образ стихотворения становится особым воплощением беньяминовского ангела истории и, несмотря на то что мировой кошмар не уравновешивается победой добра, мир стихотворений Фанайловой не безнадёжен.The author of the article analyzes the mythomotorics of Elena Fanailova’s poetic text “#Valerik” from the cycle “#Lisistratapishet”. He examines the role of the contamination of several mythologies: Jewish, Greek, and Christian. He pays special attention to two other aspects: reference to the Lermontovian pretext (the poem “Valerik”) and the tragedy of the blogger Pavel Petel, which develop the mythological image of the river of death. The analysis of the poem allows us to highlight the special role of the messianic myth, the realization of which correlates with the ideas of Walter Benjamin. The author of the article concludes that Golem-Telem as the central image of the poem becomes a special incarnation of Benjamin’s angel of history and despite the fact that the world’s nightmare is not balanced by the triumph of good, the world of Fanailova’s poems is not hopeless
