Il progetto di una morfologia plastica
No full textThe present contribution aims to examine the perspectives of a “plastic” morphology, that is, attentive to the theorization of a metamorphosis understood as a radical questioning of the substance and the individuality of the form; starting from Goethe, through the Warburg school and up to Malabou’s research, we intend to illustrate and briefly verify the possibility of such a line of research
Mimesis come conditio humana
No full textThe concept of mimesis originates in the Greek context in the 5th century BC, and since then, it has been at the heart of Western aesthetic reflection. It finds its best-known formulation in the Aristotelian affirmation that “art imitates nature”; however, as C. Wulf has emphasised, the mimetic faculty plays a role not only in the art domain but also in almost all areas of human action, representation, speech and thought:mimesisis aconditio humana. Thus, alongside the passive-imitative meaning of mimesis, we can also identify an active meaning of the term since it indicates a process that leads us to encounter external reality aesthetically and to reproduce its traits creatively, even in our bodies. The topicality of the question lies in this complexity, which connects mimesis not only to the terms of imitation but also to those of individual plasticity and autopoiesis
Plasticity
Full text linkAlthough the expression πλαστική τέχνη [plastic art] has Greek origins, the derivative term “plasticity” enters the European languages only in the Modern Age. The term has a double meaning: it indicates, at the same time, the art of manipulating a ductile substance and the ability to transform oneself to recreate formal qualities in response to external events (positive meaning of plasticity) or to cancel pre-existing formal configurations, originating morphological novelties (negative meaning of plasticity). For this reason, the birthplace of plasticity is the domain of art but the term is used with different connotations also in the morphological, physicochemical and medical fields
Structure/Structuralism
No full textThe first issue of Word, the Journal of the Linguistic Circle of New York, published in April 1945 by Roman Jakobson and André Martinet, both exiles living in the USA, features one of the first articles by Claude Lévi-Strauss (1958) (L’analyse structurale en linguistique et en anthropologie) and the last essay by Ernst Cassirer
(2002) (Structuralism in Modern Linguistics), who died a few weeks before its publi cation. This is the official birth of structuralism, a term seemingly coined by the author of Philosophie der symbolischen Formen in his posthumous essay with its testimonial quality
