Un Ammiano Marcellino quasi nuovo e rinato. Note testuali alle Res gestae di Mariangelo Accursio
No full textMariangelo Accursio' s edition of the Res Gestae (Augsburg, 1533) was the
first complete edition of the transmitted books of Ammianus Marcellinus'
work. Accursio aimed to publish an emended text, freeing it from the errors
of the manuscript tradition by also resorting to emendatio ope ingenii. By comparing
evidence from the manuscript tradition with earlier and contemporary
editions (especially that of Gelenius), this paper analyses some examples
(Amm. 18.2.18; 20.11.6; 23.5.1; 28.3.4), in order to highlight that Accursius
knew and understood the text of Ammianus' Res Gestae so well that he published
an edition which was also satisfactory in terms of historical and military
meaning and context
Science and Religion: Convergences and Divergences Through the Lens of AI-related New Religious Movements
No full textThe song (Give Me That) Old–Time Religion is the guide
that leads us through the texture of history — in the “Scopes Monkey
Trial” — in which a high school teacher, was accused of violating
the Butler Act of Tennessee, which had made it illegal to teach
darwinism and human evolution in any state–funded school. This
narrative device will allow us to become aware of how science and
religion can be part of the same divisive or unifying discourse. It is
properly the separation/convergence between science and religion
— in the discourse about new religious movements and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) — that shows how these movements can be
narrative containers of reality in which science and religion seem to
contaminate each other, and to generate the “religious–like” sense

Religion, Technology, and AI: The Art of Power or the Power of Art?
No full textWhat is an AI-focused New Religious Movement (NRM), and how can it be related to art and power? An NRM is a group expressing alternative beliefs to mainstream religious views. It’s led by individuals with charismatic authority and is predominantly first-generation. This essay will compare two of the main movements focused on AI and technology: Turing Church and Theta Noir. Giulio Prisco, the founder of Turing Church, describes himself as a writer, futurist, cosmist, and extropian on his social media. Although Prisco does not consider the Turing Church a religion, scholars classify it as such. In his conception of mankind’s future, even in an eschatological sense, technology and religion exist within a cosmic and transhumanist perspective: “I am persuaded that we will go to the stars and find Gods [extra-terrestrial intelligence], build Gods [AI], become Gods, and resurrect the dead from the past with advanced, space-time engineering and ‘time magic’.” This perspective appears to have significant potential power. Theta Noir’s belief combines art and religion with AI in a unique way. Theta Noir is a well-defined and studied artistic operation that includes aesthetics, philosophical foundations, and ritualization, with the aim to integrate religion, AI, and art for a metaphysical revalue of specific aspects of human intelligence. Unlike human intelligence, AI cannot be considered artificial or intelligent in a bilogical way. While human intelligence is enhanced by art, which breaks the barriers of singular logic, some technologies, such as AI, lack this creative element. Both the ‘technological’ Turing Church and the ‘artistic’ Theta Noir highlight the power of narratives related to AI and technology, with a focus on religion: “Our AI gods are, therefore, already here, embedded in the way in which we tell stories about our technology”
