Il cittadino e la libertà della memoria
No full textUno dei fenomeni più interessanti per la riflessione filosofico-politica contemporanea è costituito della diffusione di politiche della memoria nelle istituzioni nazionali e trans-nazionali. Queste, attraverso i canali educativi e culturali, si rivolgono ai cittadini, con particolare attenzione nei confronti delle nuove generazioni, al fine di favorire lo sviluppo di una coscienza comune del passato capace di supplire a un legame civile sempre più evanescente e di curare l’anomia sempre più generalizzata. Tale esigenza è assai evidente all’interno di un’entità trans-nazionale quale l’Unione europea, nella quale è comune la consapevolezza di non poter basare il proprio percorso di integrazione esclusivamente su meccanismi giuridici ed economici.
L’esigenza di una coscienza comune che stia alla base della convivenza civile e che supporti lo sviluppo di un’identità collettiva sia pur minimale è sicuramente autentica ed è sostenuta dalle migliori intenzioni. Ciò che tuttavia interessa alla filosofia politica è l’analisi critica dei processi e degli strumenti attraverso cui le politiche della memoria vengono progettate e attuate, poiché attraverso questi possono attivarsi dinamiche ideologiche. La memoria difatti è per sua natura selettiva ed è mossa da motivazioni pratiche che la portano a subordinare la ricostruzione del passato alle esigenze presenti. Essa possiede inoltre una forte carica legittimante che può essere messa al servizio di istanze di tipo egemonico.
In questo contributo analizzeremo le dinamiche precipue delle politiche della memoria nel loro rapporto problematico con la dimensione storiografica (§1), cercando di andare oltre la contrapposizione tra storia e memoria a partire dalla loro comune struttura narrativa (§2), per poi proporre delle riflessioni sul cittadino e la sua responsabilità alla luce di una dimensione poco apparente della libertà, quella della libertà della memoria (§3, §4)
The Ecological meaning of embodiment
No full textToday embodiment is a critical theme in several branches of the contemporary philosophical debate. The term embodiment refers to the role of an agent’s own body in his situated life,suggesting the existence of a bodily root for several experiential and cognitive abilities. A metaphor, that of the root, which aims at establishing a constitutive participation of the body in what we usually consider the domain of the mind. As other philosophical concepts, the notion of embodiment, as well as the idea of embodied mind, lacks of an explicit and shared definition,therefore, is possible to find many different uses of it. Works concerning “embodiment” cover many fields of research such as those concerning the nature of abstract thought (Lakoff &
Núñez 2000), artificial intelligence (Clark 1998) and social cognition (Sinigaglia 2009). The aim of this paper is to define a path linking considerations from the phenomenological tradition with recent theoretical developments and experimental evidence. This will make it possible to show that the identification of the bodily roots of experience has the consequence to involve a series of theoretical and experimental consequences leading towards an enactive and ecological approach to perception

No full textCorrado Cagli. Transatlantic bridges, 1938-1947
No full textIn the 1930s the young Italian artist, Corrado Cagli was a rising star of the Scuola Romana, supported by the Fascist regime despite being both Jewish and a homosexual. Following the Racial Laws, he fled first to Paris, and then to the USA, where he remained until 1947. Raffaele Bedarida’s new book, Corrado Cagli – La pittura, l’esilio, l’America (1938-1947) Donzelli Editore, 2018 (soon to be translated into English by CPL Editions), focuses on Cagli’s American exile.
While examining Cagli in the context of the artistic and intellectual migration from Europe to the US, Bedarida provides valuable new insight into the specific plight of this Italian Jewish artist, once championed by Fascism and into the complexities of the use of art for cultural diplomacy.
The author combines biography, cultural history, and critical analysis in exploring a decisive period in the life and work of a painter whose complex personality and non-signature style, defy classifications. The book also provides thought-provoking and nuanced arguments on the ideologically based ostracism that Cagli encountered upon returning to Italy in the immediate aftermath of the war. Because of his past as a former regime-endorsed artist, his recent American success, his participation in the liberation of Europe from Nazi-Fascism with the American army, and Jewish exile, Cagli simply did not fit into any of the faction of Italy’s post-war heated cultural disputes.
Based on extensive original research and written with brio, Bedarida’s book is an essential contribution to a growing field of studies that examine how, by welcoming artist and intellectuals in flight from Nazi-Fascism, the United States had been given what Will Norman has called “custodianship for a civilization.
Proceedings of the LREC 2020 workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP 2020)
No full textThis volume documents the Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP), held online on 12 May 2020 as part of the LREC 2020 conference (International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation).
The workshop aimed at bringing together researchers and scholars working on author profiling and automatic detection of abusive language on the Web, e.g., cyberbullying or hate speech, with a twofold objective: improving the existing LRs, e.g., datasets, corpora, lexicons, and sharing ideas on stylometry techniques and features needed for profile information extraction and classification. ResT-UP targeted Profiling scholars and research groups, experts in Statistic and Stylistic Analysis of texts as well as computational linguists who investigate author profile and personality both in short texts (social media posts, blog texts and email) and in long texts (such as pamphlets, (fake) news and political documents). ReST-UP represented an opportunity to share profiling experiments with the scientific community and to show automatic detection techniques of abusive language on the Web. Despite the cancellation of LREC 2020 due to the COVID-19 international emergency, ResT-UP was organized online on Microsoft Teams on May 12th 2020 and the programme included three oral presentations and featured an invited talk by Paolo Rosso. ResT-UP was attended by about fifty representatives of academic and industrial organisations

Slavic, Romance,Germanic: about some Similarities and Differences in Phonological Development
In this paper the author aims at drawing a sketch of some aspects of the early Slavic phonological development, in terms of syllable structure, vocal quantity etc. The natural theory of syllabifi cation is taken into account as well as other factors. He tries also to shed some light on several controversial questions by a brief attempt at making a typological comparison between some aspects of phonological development in Slavic, Romance and Germanic languages. In this frame he discusses mainly some features of syllable structure in Romance and Germanic languages
Per una temporalità circadiana. «Tre romanzi di una giornata» (1982) di Raffaele La Capria
No full textIn this paper, the author offers a Ricœurian reading of the ‘circadian novel’, taking Raffaele La Capria’s Tre romanzi di una giornata as his case study. After discussing current scholarship on the ‘temporal turn’ and the so called ‘one-day novel’, the author investigates the temporal structures of La Capria’s works through three temporal elements: differential, mundane, and mimetic. The author argues that these three elements, functioning both with and against each other, express the central concern of the circadian novel, namely the ‘fullness of time’
