Gramsci e o encontro com o mundo árabe
Full text linkL'articolo è il risultato di una ricerca, in prospettiva gramsciana, sulla storia dei paesi
islamici e sulle attività del Laboratorio di Studi Internazionali Gramsci dell'Università di
Cagliari (Gramsci Lab), che ricostruiscono le tappe e gli sviluppi di un processo che, nel
corso degli anni, ha reso possibile la penetrazione del pensiero dell'autore dei Quaderni
del carcere nel mondo arabo. Realtà in cui il tema della traducibilità filosofica è di indubbio interesse politico, per l'incidenza di contraddizioni, conflitti e processi
rivoluzionari innescati dalla dialettica tra l'eredità coloniale e il presente di questi Paesi e
le lotte dei popoli di questa parte del mondo per l'emancipazione dai paradigmi della
civiltà occidentale, imposti con la forza nel corso dei secoli.The article is the result of research, from a Gramscian perspective, into the history of
Islamic countries and the activities of the Gramsci International Studies Laboratory at the
University of Cagliari (Gramsci Lab), which reconstruct the stages and developments of
a process which, over the years, has made it possible for the thought of the author of
Prison Notebooks to penetrate the Arab world. Realities in which the theme of
philosophical translatability assumes an undoubted political interest, due to the incidence of contradictions, conflicts and revolutionary processes triggered by the dialectic between the colonial legacy and the present of these countries and the struggles of the peoples of this part of the world, for emancipation from the paradigms of Western civilization, imposed by force over the centuries
Le vie del sufismo verso l’Europa mediterranea. Percorsi di conversione, diffusione e trasformazione sociale
No full textQuesto lavoro approfondisce i percorsi di diffusione del sufismo in Europa, a partire dalle conversioni di alcune figure che all’inizio del ’900 hanno coniugato originali esperienze di vita con la scelta, religiosa e politica, di adesione all’islam sufi.
Il sufismo è diffuso in tutti i paesi a maggioranza musulmana e anche in Occidente, dove ad attrarre è la sua dimensione esoterica, rituale e intellettuale, grazie a una rete di “vie” e di guide spirituali della tradizione islamica. Nel volume si vuole esplorare il nesso tra scelta spirituale e scelta politica di adesione a un modello sociale percepito spesso come alternativo a quello occidentale. A partire dai casi analizzati, la contestazione del colonialismo, l’eredità cattolica e la militanza civile e politica mostreranno come la conversione investa anche il processo di soggettivazione e la dimensione sociale e politica del sufismo, ancora poco indagata
Il sufismo in Italia: molteplici «vie» per vivere l’islam
No full textThe present work focuses on the contemporary diffusion and development of Sufism in Italy, since the beginning of the xxth century. The attraction of Islam and of its spirituality, as well as the ideological opposition to the Western culture, are among the main reasons behind the individual choice of changing their own religious faith. So today, Italian converts are the more and more numerous, and protagonists, of many Sufi brotherhoods transplanted in the country, like the Halvetiyya-Jerrahiyya or the Ahmadiyya-Idrisiyya. Some trends of development are analyzed, like the apparent division between the «ethnic» or «immigrated» Sufi groups (like the Senegalese Muridiyya or the Moroccan Butchichiyya) and the «Italian» ones. The becoming of Sufism is particularly concerned by the new local membership as well as by the changing modern religiosit
Fausta Cialente’s “Middle East” Through Anticolonialism and Antifascism in Egypt
Full text linkThe role of the allophone press in Egypt was particularly important for the circulation and elaboration of radical ideas and struggles from the end of the 19th century until the Second World War. During the 1940s, the Italian writer Fausta Cialente (1898–1994) published the independent magazine “Fronte Unito” (1943–46), which was intended to be an instrument of information and education for the development of the new Italian state after the fascist regime, and to critically think about class and gender divisions, labour and colonial exploitation and the life of the Italian
colony in Egypt. All these elements are also present in Cialente’s literature, nourished by her life in Egypt between 1921 and 1947. This paper interrogates the links between the anti-fascist and pro-democracy political struggle and the anti-colonial views expressed in Cialente’s writings
and militancy in a country where, according to the editors, the imperialist mentality reigned among all communities and influenced their power and subaltern relations
Molecular transformations: reading the Arab uprisings with and beyond Gramsci
No full textThe increasing interest in Antonio Gramsci’s thought constitutes an important source of inspiration in the study of the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in the post-2011 Arab uprisings period. The popularity of the Italian Marxist thinker is to be found in the original applications and uses of Gramscian categories, which have given rise to a growing secondary literature, especially outside Italy and Europe, beyond Gramsci’s immediate
background and beyond the context of his own historical and political analysis. The revolutionary moment of 2011, the crisis of hegemony, and thus the crisis of ‘the State as a whole’ (stato integrale), is present in different ways in Arab countries, where many groups within civil society live, work, compete and protest tirelessly. This article draws attention to the less explored Gramscian concept of the “molecular” and argues for the importance of reading molecular, even fragmented, ways to resist the manufacturing of consent and the dominant hegemony during revolutionary moments, such as the pre- and post-2011 periods.
The concept of the ‘molecular’ (molecolare) is fundamental to shedding light on the potentially transformative implications of everyday contentious actions and helps us to scrutinise what kind of hegemony is possible in Arab-Mediterranean countries today.
Furthermore, Gramsci enables us to confront multiple, singular experiences of ‘others’ – which already are shaping contemporary history in different world regions while being intertwined with global history. This article shows how the theoretical, methodological and political potential of Gramscian interpretations is vital to – and can be enriched and renewed by – a promising, ongoing interdisciplinary dialogue

La rappresentazione (stereotipata) di ‘un altro’ islam: il sufismo come alternativa al fondamentalismo
No full textIl capitolo prende in esame la terminologia genericamente adottata nel parlare di islam, spesso alimentata dall’uso acritico, oppure politico, di parole e categorie di pensiero che si distaccano dal reale, accomunando in tal senso sia i detrattori sia, paradossalmente, molti difensori dell’islam come tutto indistinto. Anche il sufismo viene frequentemente stereotipato e descritto - secondi canoni orientalistici - o come versione tollerante e 'buona' dell'islam, o come espressione di fanatismo e folklore. Sulla scia dell'insegnamento di intellettuali come Edward Said, l'autrice cerca di decostruire simili rappresentazioni e riflettere sull'uso speculare che ne è alla base e che produce un sapere sull'islam ancorato su metodi e criteri orientalistici tutt'ora in circolazione. Qui si propone invece la storicizzazione e contestualizzazione di diverse manifestazioni del sufismo, soprattutto in epoca coloniale
