L’arte secondo Artaud di Tzvetan Todorov
No full textIl contributo è inserito nella rubrica Il Parlaggio‘L’Arte secondo Artaud’, che qui si presenta al lettore italiano, è un testo chiave della critica artaudiana pubblicato da Todorov nel 1971, esclusivamente nella prima edizione del suo o ‘Poétique de la Prose’ (‘Poetica della Prosa’), e mai più ripubblicato. Allora giovanissimo allievo di Roland Barthes e già affermato studioso del formalismo russo, linguista e semiologo, Tzvetan Todorov (1939-2017) apre con questo lavoro una originale considerazione del rapporto che, nella visione di Antonin Artaud, il teatro intrattiene con i segni, linguisticamente intesi, e con il loro superamento nel simbolo, secondo un piano teoretico che crede di poter rintracciare negli scritti di Artaud degli anni dal 1931 al 35, coevi insomma al periodo di gestazione de ‘Il Teatro e il suo doppio’. Nell'introduzione, Marcello Gallucci – studioso di Artaud e curatore dell'edizione italiana di riferimento per i ‘Messaggi Rivoluzionari’ – ricostruisce le paradossali vicende che hanno portato all'assenza di questo scritto nel panorama italiano e ne discute l'attualità.‘L’Arte secondo Artaud’ (‘Art According to Artaud’), presented here to the Italian reader, is a key text of Artaudian criticism published by Tzvetan Todorov in 1971, exclusively in the first edition of his Poétique de la Prose (‘Poetics of Prose’) and never republished. Then a very young student of Roland Barthes and already an established scholar of Russian formalism, linguist, and semiologist, Tzvetan Todorov (1939-2017) opens with this work an original consideration of the relationship that, in the vision of Antonin Artaud, theater maintains with signs, understood linguistically, and with their transcendence into symbols, according to a theoretical framework that he believes he can trace in the writings of Artaud from the years 1931 to 1935, the period during which ‘The Theater and Its Double’ was prepared. In his introduction, Marcello Gallucci – a well-known scholar of Artaud and editor of the Italian reference edition for Artaud’s ‘Revolutionary Messages’ – reconstructs the paradoxical events that led to the absence of this text in the Italian landscape and discusses its relevance today
An exploratory TMS study on prefrontal lateralization in valence categorization of facial expressions
No full textConverging neuroimaging and patient data suggest that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in emotional processing. However, It is still not clear whether the DLPFC in the left and right hemisphere is differentially involved in emotion recognition depending on the emotion considered, Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to shed light on the possible causal role of the left and right DLPFC in encoding valence of positive and negative emotional facial expressions. Participants were required to indicate whether a series of faces displayed a positive or negative expression, while TMS was Delivered over the right DLPFC, the left DLPFC, and a control site (vertex), Interfering with activity in both the left and right DLPFC delayed valence categorization (compared to control stimulation) to a similar extent irrespective of emotion type. Overall, we failed to demonstrate any valence-related lateralization in the DLPFC by using TMS. Possible methodological limitations are discusse
The role of the cerebellum in explicit and incidental processing of facial emotional expressions: A study with transcranial magnetic stimulation
No full textGrowing evidence suggests that the cerebellum plays a critical role in non-motor functions, contributing to cognitive and affective processing. In particular, the cerebellum might represent an important node of the "limbic" network, underlying not only emotion regulation but also emotion perception and recognition. Here, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to shed further light on the role of the cerebellum in emotional perception by specifically testing cerebellar contribution to explicit and incidental emotional processing. In particular, in three different experiments, we found that TMS over the (left) cerebellum impaired participants' ability to categorize facial emotional expressions (explicit task) and to classify the gender of emotional faces (incidental emotional processing task), but not the gender of neutral faces. Overall, our results indicate that the cerebellum is involved in perceiving the emotional content of facial stimuli, even when this is task irrelevan

No full textMarcello Salvadore: La Vestale incesta.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Pliny the Younger and Plutarch are the sources
of a detailed account of Vestalis incesta’s punishment: they say that she was
sentenced to death. Dionysius adds that there was no after death ritual.
Modern scholars generally accept what the three authors assert. In this article
the author surmises that the Vestalis incesta, together with the parricida, was
not condemned to death: both of them were sentenced to a particular kind
of banishment from the Society
