    Introduction to Eugen Fink, "Fashion: Seductive Play".

    No full text
    In Germany, 1969, Eugen Fink's Fashion: Seductive Play was published. This first English language edition, updated with an introduction by Stefano Marino and Giovanni Matteucci, makes available Fink's philosophical investigation into fashion to an English-speaking audience. One of the greatest figures in the “phenomenological movement,” Fink here investigates fashion at various philosophical levels - aesthetic, ethical, social - and in relationship to other forms of human culture, especially contemporary culture. Although there have been many transformations and changes in the world of fashion since the late 1960s, from prêt-à-porter to fast fashion, fashion's connection to both high culture and popular culture, and the new relationship between fashion and the advent of social media, Fink's insights allow wide-ranging and far-reaching inquiries into fashion's philosophical essence. Fink's extraordinary lucidity and his unique conceptual capacities have made his work crucial to the study of the philosophy of fashion today. His work, like that of Simmel's, Veblen's or Benjamin's, is as essential and important now as when it was first published. Fink's book, now translated into English for the first time, is introduced by a long essay written by the two editors, Stefano Marino and Giovanni Matteucci, and structured in various sections: "On the Very Idea of a Philosophy of Fashion", "Play, World, and Fashion in Fink’s Philosophy", "The Culture Industry and the (Fruitful) Antagonisms and Oscillations of Fashion", "The Significance of Fink’s Philosophical Contribution on Fashion", "The Beauty of Appearance", "The Expressive Force, From Skin to Clothing", "The Anthropological Meaning of Fashion and the Living Body". Part One of this introductory essay includes three sections and was written by Stefano Marino, while Part Two includes four sections and was written by Giovanni Matteucci. The general structure and contents of the Introduction, however, have been planned, discussed, and conceived together by both authors

    Le paradigme esthético-pragmatiste de Dewey: analyse et perspectives

    No full text
    Il saggio svolge un’analisi complessiva del paradigma della riflessione estetica di Dewey, esaminandone i vari aspetti cardine sia per quel che riguarda la loro collocazione all’interno del pragmatismo deweyano sia per quel che riguarda la loro specifica portata teoretica. L’orizzonte che affiora attraverso tali nozioni focali è di stampo prettamente antropologico, connotazione che viene ritenuta peculiare dell’a filosofia deweyana in generale, rendendo così l’estetico banco di prova generale per tale prospettiva. Di conseguenza, il medesimo paradigma viene messo in relazione a tematiche che sono presenti nell’attuale dibattito estetologico, per saggiarne (con esito positivo) la fecondità odierna, anzitutto a partire da una nozione di “campo” che tende a sostituire ipotesi e ipostasi ontologiche tanto relative alle funzioni soggettuali, quanto relative alla funzioni oggettuali dell’estetico

    Forum on Aesthetics and Human Nature

    No full text
    The path outlined in the book "Estetica e natura umana" (2019) and some recent articles by Giovanni Matteucci is aimed at re-establishing the continuity that exists between various aspects and modalities connoting human experience: a continuity, the latter, that according to Matteucci has been undermined by a centuries-long dualistic philosophical attitude towards human nature as such. On this basis, this Forum puts his original philosophical conception to the test. The topics and problems called into question span from the relation to the traditions of pragmatism and phenomenology to enactivism, from the question of aesthetic properties to the role of the body in aesthetic experience, from the relation between perception and language to technology

    Estetica e natura umana. La mente estesa tra percezione, emozione ed espressione

    No full text
    The aesthetic trains an experience that is first with the world rather than of it. Reading a novel, listening to a piece of music, you are immersed in an interaction in which the environment is an integral part of the same extended mind to which you feel you belong. The book explores this paradigm, in dialogue with recent anthropological and neuroscientific studies, aiming at highlighting how human nature is nature that becomes interaction thanks to the expressive artifices that build an aesthetic bio-cultural niche

    Il senso critico dell’“esperienza in genere”

    No full text
    The essay examines an implication that originates from Garroni’s innovative invitation to expand the jurisdiction of aesthetics from art to “experience in general”. This thesis, in the terms used by Garroni, renders the meaning of “aesthetic” merely occasional. The essay aims at showing a way of welcoming the invitation to consider aesthetics as a non-disciplinary modality of theoretical research, while still conferring a pregnant meaning upon the aesthetic component of experience. Exemplary in this regard is the comparison between Kantian and Deweyan strategies to describe the experiential character of the aesthetic
