Il giro d'Italia in macchina lo fanno in tanti: ma chi ha mai utilizzato il mare come autostrada? "Automare-Artemobile" (questo il suo bizzarro nome), ci spiega Autonauti, vuole essere un trait d'union tra due mondi contrapposti: la società degli uomini, caotica, costrittiva, da cui Amorettti ha sempre cercato di fuggire, e lo splendido, libero, anarchico mare. La meta a Venezia, non è scelta a caso: nel 2017 la Biennale d’Arte. Riuscire a espone la vettura in queste prestigiose mostre sarebbe rappresentato un bel colpo • «Oltretutto "Auto-Mare" garantisce una buona visibilità per chi volesse pubblicizzarmi.»

The acclaimed philosopher’s penetrating analysis of Pontius Pilate offers provocative and original insight into Western conceptions of judgment and guilt. Pontius Pilate is one of the most enigmatic figures in Christian theology. The only non-Christian to be named in the Nicene Creed, he is presented as a cruel colonial overseer in secular accounts, as a conflicted judge convinced of Jesus’s innocence in the Gospels, and as either a pious Christian or a virtual demon in later Christian writings. Starting with Pilate’s role in the trial of Jesus, Giorgio Agamben investigates the function of legal judgment in Western society and the ways that such judgment requires us to adjudicate the competing claims of the eternal and the historical. Coming just as Agamben is bringing his decades-long Homo Sacer project to an end, Pilate and Jesus sheds considerable light on what is at stake in that series as a whole. At the same time, it stands on its own, perhaps more than any of the author’s recent works. It thus serves as a perfect starting place for readers who are curious about Agamben’s ideas and approach to philosophy.

Beginning with Germanic invasions that undermined the Roman Empire and culminating with the establishment of the modern nation, Girolamo Arnaldi explores the dynamic exchange between outsider and âeoenative,âe liberally illustrated with interpretations of the foreigners drawn from a range of sources. A despairing Saint Jerome wrote, of the Sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410, âeoeMy sobs stop me from dictating these words. Behold, the city that conquered the world has been conquered in its turn.âe Other Christian authors, however, concluded that the sinning Romans had drawn the wrath of God upon...
