Abitare la fitopolis: ontologia, ecologia e politica tra Stefano Mancuso, Miguel Benasayag e Michel Serres = Inhabiting the phytopolis: ontology, ecology and politics among Stefano Mancuso, Miguel Benasayag and Michel Serre
No full textThis essay explores Italian biologist Stefano Mancuso's proposal to reimagine urban systems as Fitopolis-an emblematic term that implies at least three transformative aspects. Fitopolis is, first and foremost, a city abundant in vegetation and biodiversity; it is structured around a sustainable urban organization; finally, it represents the operational recognition of the symbiotic relationships that indissolubly link social systems to natural ecosystems. To examine the political effects related to the metamorphosis of the subject within this urban paradigm shift, the essay engages with the thought of contemporary philosophers such as Miguel Benasayag and Michel Serres, whose epistemological and political reflections can provide a conceptual framework for understanding Fitopolis not merely as an ecological model, but as a radical reconfiguration of human and non-human cohabitation
Al di là del normale e patologico = Beyond the normal and pathological
No full textThis article presents the debts that the psychopathologies of both Minkowski and Jaspers owe to the idea of the psychophysical unity of the human being as a central intuition of phenomenology and Bergsonism. It is well known that Max Scheler and Henri Bergson sought to give substance to the psychophysical unity of the human being, resisting reductionist temptations. It was precisely this idea that attracted the interest of both Minkowski and Jaspers. Scheler, in fact, attempted to confer psychophysical concreteness to this unity, which extends from the biological to the most sophisticated forms of intelligence and the emotional world, and presents itself at all levels of observation as a temporal flow in which life is configured. Bergson, on the other hand, referred to the immediate data of consciousness understood in their multiplicity and to the fluidity of lived time. In turn, both Minkowski and Jaspers-although in different ways-sought to understand the unity of the person, a unity of meaning in experiences that each time defines a world independently of the preconceived schemas of pathology and normality
La función discursiva de las metonimias basadas en topónimos: Análisis de Cataluña y España en un corpus periodístico bilingüe
Full text linkPlace name-based metonymies are widely used as rhetorical tools in the media due to their referential ambiguity. They simplify complex references and can be used to conceal agency, generalize and consolidate discourses and stereotypes. These metonymies can refer to territories, institutions or communities, activating multiple conceptualizations. In this study, we analyze how toponyms such as Cataluña and España are used in polarized discourses, like media discourse in Catalan and Spanish on the Catalan independence movement and the unilateral referendum of October 1, 2017. For the study, notions of cognitive linguistics are used consistently within the framework of critical discourse studies. Different discursive strategies are identified to represent various political and social actors represented metonymically through place names. Furthermore, it is pointed out how similar discursive strategies can generate different narratives when place names are accompanied by different semantic prosodies and activate different orders of indexicality
