Immagini della libertà
No full textThis essay reconstructs several images of political concept of freedom in the
modern and contemporary tradition. In the first part the Author traces the genealogy
of modern political concept of freedom that produces the achievement of
sovereignty and the individual rights in the age of revolutions. This political and
historical process shows an image of freedom as property of the modern subject
which is free because safe, autonomous and independent. In the second part, the
Author introduces a different imagine of freedom in accord with the arendtian
position of What is freedom? So political freedom can be sketched as an action,
a new beginning, an unexpected event; and thus, this different image of freedom
is showed as a possible way out from our age of crisis
Alla ricerca dell'utopia?
No full textThe Author traces the modern history of political concept of utopia from the publication of More’ Utopia. The historic-philosophical analysis shows that the opposition utopia vs realism and its transformations was (and still is now) central to develop the dialectic between reality and imagination, which is one of the axis of the western political Modernity. But, the epistemic and socio-political crisis of the XXth Century reveals the aporia and contradictions within this dialectic. However, in front of fear and angst ruling our present, the Author shows that a possible way out of our crisis could be in starting up again this dialectic along giving birth to new forms of our political coexistence
Rileggere la paura oggi. Volti e forme di una passione lungo i secoli
No full textFear is a passion that deeply characterizes the human nature and it has been a pivotal analytical topic of the Western Thought. The author, through the discussion of two recent books of Marco Filoni (Anatomia di un assedio, Milano 2019) and Martha Nussbaum (The monarchy of fear, It. trans. Bologna 2020) reflects on the political utilization of Fear in light of the actual transformations. Fear is considered crucial for understanding political modernity, while its reappearance in democratic societies is highly challenging and jeopardizes their capacity of cohesion and political order. By discussing the theoretical theses of Filoni and Nussbaum, the author points out the need to go beyond the politics of Fear by reactivating different political passions like Hope

Possible dialogues between Maria Gabriela Llansol and Clarice Lispector: ways to rethink the child-being
No full textO objetivo deste trabalho é estudar uma criança nova e potencializada, que cresce na escrita, tanto na obra da escritora Maria Gabriela Llansol quanto na de Clarice Lispector. Tratamos essa criança como uma metáfora de um ser-vivo, que se arrisca em novas compreensões sobre a escrita, transformando seu olhar diante da leitura. Investiga-se a escrita como um lugar fecundo, onde haja o desenvolvimento do ato criativo pelos seres, denominado entre-lugar. Nele, ocorre a continuidade do ser, que aprende sobre si a partir do outro, num movimento de persistência. Utilizam-se alguns títulos, como Um beijo dado mais tarde e Amar um cão, de Llansol, e Quase de verdade, Mistério do coelho pensante, A mulher que matou os peixes e A vida íntima de Laura, de Lispector, para mostrar a relação entre o ser e a leitura através da sua mudança de olhar. Discutem-se várias noções, como as de criança, aprendizagem, leitura, textualidade, liberdade, representação, autor, pensamento, percepção e tempo. Fundamenta-se a teoria através das obras de Clarice e de Maria Gabriela, acima citadas, além da crítica especializada, como Maria dos Prazeres Santos Mendes, Nádia Gotlib, Olga de Sá, Maria de Lourdes Soares, Jorge Fernandes da Silveira, João Barrento, Eduardo Prado Coelho, Eduardo Lourenço, Lúcia Castelo Branco, João Barrento e Maria Etelvina Santos.The objective of this work is to study a new and potentialized child, growing in understanding, both in the work of the writer Maria Gabriela Llansol and in Clarice Lispector. The child is treated as a metaphor of a ser-vivo, who ventures into new possibilities of understanding, turning your gaze while reading. We try to understand the text as a place that allows the development of the creative act by readers, named in this work as entre-lugar. Among the most important aspects of this place, we see the persistence in the continuity of being, learning about itself, from the other readers and from the changes in their outlook on the world. Some books are used, such as Um beijo dado mais tarde and Amar um cão by Llansol, and Quase de verdade, Mistério do coelho pensante, A mulher que matou os peixes and A vida íntima de Laura by Lispector, to show the relationship between being and reading through its change of look. Several concepts are discussed, such as child, learning, reading, textuality, freedom, representation, author, thought, perception and time. Supporting the theory of this research through the work of Clarice and Maria Gabriela and by specialized critique, such as Maria dos Prazeres Santos Mendes, Nádia Gotlib, Olga de Sá, Maria de Lourdes Soares, Jorge Fernandes da Silveira, João Barrento, Eduardo Prado Coelho, Eduardo Lourenço, Lúcia Castelo Branco, João Barrento and Maria Etelvina Santos
Rischi sociali e domande di sicurezza
No full textIn the latest decades, many studies have focused on the concepts of fear, risk, security as relevant elements for describing our contemporary world. The Author rethink the processes trough which particular features of social reality become security issues. Security is no longer viewed as referring naturally or unproblematically to the military security of the state. Rather, the goal becomes to understand how different and seemingly disconnected objects can become subject to the processes of “securization” which involves our democracies and the managements of different risks which treath our societies
