I luoghi e gli altri. La cura dell'abitare
No full textTra crisi ambientali e contraddizioni urbane, tra migrazioni e chiusure securitarie, la questione dell’abitare è oggi diventata centrale. Non può essere demandata solo a soluzioni tecnologiche: rappresenta una sfida a cui etica e politica non possono sottrarsi, e a cui la riflessione filosofica deve dare il proprio contributo di concettualizzazione, argomentazione, decostruzione. I luoghi e gli altri si colloca proprio in questo contesto, nell’ambito del quale esplora le dinamiche della convivenza che plasmano una “buona vita”, provando a rileggere la costitutiva relazionalità degli esseri umani alla luce delle diverse forme dell’abitare.

Public Memory under Construction. Exploring Religion in the House of European History in Brussels
No full textLocated in the European quarter in Brussels, the House of European History (HEH) is a project which aims at developing a common historical knowledge
of Europe. On the one hand, the museum intends to promote European
identity by means of a shared memory; on the other, it seeks to establish
itself as a place where citizens can interact with the »European idea«. The
emphasis on the link between memory and history, conceived as a particular
kind of knowledge involving past events, enlarges the plan of the HEH
beyond the domain of mere epistemological reflection. The very name of
the museum – »house« – suggests a familiar setting that affects individuals
directly, by involving their personal identity, a »home«. By choosing to be a
»house«, the HEH presents itself as a place where individuals can encounter
their own »family« histories in order to »nurture commonality«. The chapter arises from an interdisciplinary discussion between philosophy and the study of religion, our respective fields of research. First, Carla Danani offers a philosophical reflection to frame the discussion on the temporal and spatial interconnections between the concepts of the past, the performativity of a museum visit, and public memory within the HEH. After-wards, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati explores to what extent Europe’s diverse history of religion is mirrored in the museum’s narrative. We discuss the HEH as a place of memory, as a spatial performance of remembering3 a common historical European ground with a special focus on the role of religion, which is represented in the museum in an ambivalent way
La democrazia comincia a partire dalla distanza a due
No full textIl saggio si articola in tre nuclei teorici ricostruiti ciascuno attorno al metodo e al lavoro femminista: nel primo
caso ripartiremo da Luce Irigaray e dal suo lavoro sulla democrazia, nel
secondo ci serviremo delle considerazioni di Martha Nussbaum sui temi
della giustizia sociale e nel terzo attingeremo alle tesi di Judith Butler e
alla questione del riconoscimento delle identità nel contesto della cittadinanza democratica. Tre interpreti grazie alle quali la ricerca sulla differenza sessuale ha avuto un’influente ricaduta sull’assetto sociale e sulla
vita delle odierne democrazie
Per la coscienza di luogo
No full textThis essay proposes a reflection on the dimension of human beings’ allocation, which is considered as constitutive, and shows the fecundity of a way of being in the world capable of “consciousness of place.” On the one hand, following up on the criticism of some interpretations of “place” that understand it as a closed, defined, and consistent entity, the author pursues a different understanding within the
phenomenological-hermeneutic play that relates limit and transgression. On the other hand, the author indicates how a consideration of the human being as “dweller,” that is, as the entity that has an essential familiarity with place, does not preclude the possibility of thinking the human ability for transcendence; such a consideration even enables authentically transgressive practices insofar as they are capable of standing within the bond from which they set out

Experiencing Highgate Cemetery as a Place Landscape, Text, Threshold
No full textThe concept of threshold opens up different approaches to the use and perception of cemeteries. Besides understanding Highgate as a landscape and a text, the paper expands the notion of the threshold in a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach. A threshold not only connects realms like life and death, past and present, but also public and private. The contribution «Experiencing Highgate Cemetery as a Place: Landscape, Text, Threshold» further highlights that as a point of discontinuity the threshold is a space of liminal experience and a tool for novelties
Cultivation as Relation: Rethinking Culture
No full textI investigate the complex range and overlap of meanings of cul- tivation, and of to cultivate, starting from their roots in the Latin family of words deriving from the Indo-European *kwel and from their primary meaning which was to favour natural growth, in the way of ‘taking care of’. I try a phenomenological analysis of their uses as action, as process and as result for highlighting their relational structure, those then can help us to better under- stand human relationships, which always involve many elements and twists through time, place, context, and dispositions
Nuovi ruoli delle municipalità nel governo partecipato del territorio
No full textIl testo incrocia il tema della rilevanza della terriorialità con la questione delle condizioni di solidità della democrazia. Se da un lato si cerca quindi di argomentare a favore dell'importanza anche attuale dei territori, e quindi dei modi del loro configurarsi e della problematica circa la loro identità, d'altro lato si discute delle diverse logiche che posso articolare i 'luoghi' delle decisioni, cercando di mostrare tutti i vantaggi e le difficoltà dell'approccio argomentativo alla costruzione di decisioni condivise.//
The text connects the theme of the importance of territoriality with the question of the conditions of stability in democracy. On one hand, it argues in favor of the present importance of territories, of the ways in which they are configured, and the issue of their identity. On the other hand, it discusses the different logics that can animate the contexts of decisions, trying to show the advantages and the difficulties of the argumentative approach in the construction of shared decisions
