The Achaeans of Homer and those of Hobbes: from a pluralistic monism to absolutism
No full textWhen in the 70s of the 17th century Thomas Hobbes translated the Homeric poems from Greek into English in order to make them "a continuation of Leviathan by other means" (2008) he had to handle very carefully the original texts because of their being often at odds with his political theory. The essay, through a lexical analysis, analyses the translations with a view to stress how the Malmesbury philosopher changed the Iliad and the Odyssey in order to bypass the pluralistic monism of the original version and make it as similar as possible to his absolutism
¿Más allá de la emancipación?
Get PDFLas efemérides, sobre todo cuando son bicentenarias, parecerían tener la fuerza de introducirnos ineluctablemente en el problema de las herencias, planteándonos el imperativo de preguntarnos de qué modo heredamos el pasado y en función de qué términos disponemos nuestra relación con él.

Pizzo e pizzini. Organizzazione e cultura nell'analisi della mafia
No full textAttraverso l'analisi di nuove modalità di comunicazione tra capomafia e associati dell'organizzazione criminale si studiano sia le modalità comunicative e la trasmissione di codici culturali, sia le forme organizzative di un'importante organizzazione mafiosa. Il saggio mette in evidenza come la scoperte di modalità scritte di comunicazione (i cosiddetti "pizzini") costituisca un fatto rilevante per comprendere come si articola un gruppo mafioso sotto il profilo dei codici culturali e organizzativi. Utilizzando la letturatura sugli studi organizzativi e sugli studi culturali il saggio propone uno schema interpretativo nuovo sui gruppi mafiosi che spiega episodi e fenomeni fin qui non adeguatamente compresi dalla lettereatura sulla criminalità organizzata

No full textThis paper deals with the section of Chronikè Diéghesis that Niketas Cho-niates devoted to the Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komnenos (1183-1185). According to the author, the emperor could be regarded as a wild and bloody tyrant. This image became a sort of tyrant‘s model for some western political thinkers such as Egnatius, Bodin and Crucé. The analysis focuses on the political metaphors used to describe the politics of Andronikos in or-der to explain his political project. Although Niketas was a fierce opponent of Andronikos‘s government, considering the emperor a cruel tyrant and criti-cizing his regime of terror, he gives a complex and not only negative judg-ment about him
