    La riscoperta del ǧihād: la lettura rivoluzionaria di Sayyid Quṭb

    No full text
    Questo saggio si concentra sull’elaborazione teorica intorno al tema del ǧihād dell’egiziano Sayyid Quṭb (Sayyid Quṭb Ibrāhīm Ḥusayn al-Shādhilī, 1906-1966), figura di spicco dei Fratelli Musulmani, recluso nelle carceri nasseriane dal 1954 e giustiziato il 29 agosto 1966.Teorico di riferimento dell’intera galassia dell’islam militante, le sue opere sono ancora oggi molto note in tutto il mondo musulmano, dal Marocco all’Indonesia (passando per le comunità musulmane presenti in Europa), anche e soprattutto per la peculiare lettura che egli ha dato del concetto di militanza per il ǧihād islamico, assolutamente centrale nel suo pensiero e che sarà ripreso molti anni dopo la sua morte da altri militanti jihadisti, non a caso definiti, quasi fossero una vera e propria corrente religioso ideologica, i Quṭbisti. È con lui che si evidenzia quel ‘salto di qualità’ nell’accezione moderna del concetto di ǧihād che condurrà poi alle particolari interpretazioni, per lo più aberranti, scaturite in anni recenti.This essay focuses on the theoretical elaboration around the concept of ǧihād by the Egyptian Sayyid Quṭb (Sayyid Quṭb Ibrāhīm Ḥusayn al-Shādhilī, 1906-1966), a prominent figure of the Muslim Brotherhood , imprisoned in Nasserist prisons since 1954 and executed on August 29, 1966. His works are still very famous today throughout the Muslim world, from Morocco to Indonesia (passing through the Muslim communities present in Europe), also and above all for his peculiar reading of the concept of militancy for the Islamic ǧihād, absolutely central in his thought and that will be resumed many years after his death by other jihadist militants, not coincidentally defined "Qutbists". His peculiar elaboration of the concept of ǧihād will lead to the mostly aberrant interpretations, arising in recent years

    Il saggio introduttivo del volume si concentra sulle tappe della graduale penetrazione del pensiero gramsciano nel dibattito intellettuale e politico di alcuni Paesi del mondo arabo, con particolare riferimento alla "prima generazione" di studiosi gramsciani, quella degli anni Novanta del XX secolo. Sono evidenziati i temi principali delle riflessioni gramsciane che con più frequenza sono stati recepiti da studiosi e militanti arabi (egemonia, società civile, blocco storico, rivoluzione passiva, sulbalterni).The introductory essay focuses on the stages of the gradual dissemination of Gramscian thought in the intellectual and political debate of some countries of the Arab world, with particular reference to the "first generation" of Gramscian scholars, that of the Nineties of the Twentieth century. The main themes of the Gramscian reflections are highlighted, most frequently received by Arab scholars and militants (hegemony, civil society, historical bloc, passive revolution, sulbalterns)

    Introduction: reading the revolutionary process in North Africa with Gramsci

    Full text link
    This special section is based on part of the papers presented at the ‘Gramsci in the Arab World’ conference, held at the Università degli studi di Bari (Italy), in late 2017. Academic writings of Arab societies have been scarce and fragmented until the 1990s, when with the crisis of the Arab State and the end of the Cold War, Gramsci became one of the most cited European thinkers in the Arab region. Eventually, the ‘Gramscian moment’ in the MENA had a sudden ‘explosion’ at the time of the Arab Uprisings. Indeed, from 2011 onwards Arab and non Arab scholars have increasingly resorted to Gramsci’s analytical categories to read the ongoing revolutionary events. The rationale of this special section is to contribute to this debate, with a special focus on Egypt and Tunisia. Contextualized by an historical introductory article, the special section is composed of five contributions, analyzing the pre and post-2011 situation in Egypt and Tunisia, through a Gramscian lens

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
