Laughing at domestica facta
In this monograph, the author embarks on a captivating journey to shed fresh light on the togata, a mid-Republican theatrical genre which survives only in fragments. The book seeks to answer pressing questions surrounding the togata's significance in identity construction during the middle Republic from a literary and cultural perspective. Delving deep into the fragmentary textual remains of the togata, the book explores how the Roman elite fashioned their identity. The author challenges the notion of monolithic identity construction, and explores the diverse forms of identity within the togata, offering a new perspective on the subject. This study thus positions the togata as a vital source for discerning the characteristics and beliefs by which the Romans distinguished themselves and their culture from others. By examining how Romans perceived themselves, their ideas about different social groups, and their literary and cultural ties to earlier traditions, this book aims to transform our understanding of the togata's role in Roman drama.
Sub palliolo sordido
I contributi raccolti in questo volume sono dedicati principalmente alla commedia frammentaria greca di IV-III secolo a.C. e a quella latina, soprattutto della palliata, con alcune considerazioni anche sulla togata e sulla fabula Atellana. L'edizione e l'interpretazione dei frammenti comici pongono dei problemi di carattere metodologico, ma la conservazione parziale dei testi consente, comunque, di approfondire alcuni aspetti drammaturgici e linguistici. La tradizione dei frammenti si deve in parte alle citazioni e alle rielaborazioni di scrittori successivi. La sezione finale del volume è dedicata al mimo greco e latino. The contributions collected in this volume primarily focus on Greek and Roman fragmentary comedy, from 4th-3rd century B.C. down to palliata (along with togata and fabula Atellana). The edition and interpretation of comic fragments raise some problems in methodology; nevertheless, dramaturgical and linguistic aspects of such texts, which are preserved only partially, can be investigated. The transmission of the fragments partly depends on quotations and adaptations made by later writers. The last section of the volume is devoted to Greek and Roman mime.
RES PUBLICA LITTERARUM. Studies in the classical tradition – XLV/2024
«Res publica litterarum» non cambia la sua missione, in linea con le finalità con cui fu fondata nel 1978 da Sesto Prete alla Kansas University, «rilanciare il concetto di ‘classico’ come matrice della cultura occidentale». Scriveva Piergiorgio Parroni, nella ‘Premessa’ alla seconda serie (1998): «forse Prete, vivendo all’estero, aveva percepito in anticipo quel vento di crisi che ora ci tocca cosí da vicino e aveva sentito il bisogno di recuperare la ‘tradizione classica’ nella sua totalità contro i pericoli di una cultura da un lato troppo frammentata, dall’altro troppo appiattita sul presente. Da qui l’esigenza di creare uno strumento rivolto a indagare la classi...

The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic
In The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic, Mario Perniola puts forth the radical argument that we are shifting away from organic sexuality, based on desire and pleasure, and moving towards a more neutral inorganic and artificial sexuality, a sexuality always available but indifferent to beauty, age or form. Perniola takes the reader on a tour of Western philosophy, from Descartes, Kant and Hegel to Heidegger, Wittgenstein and Sartre, to reframe our understanding of personal experience and the aesthetic world around us. In order to realize the sex appeal of the inorganic Perniola argues that we must become 'things that feel', we must think ourselves closer to the inorganic, creating an alliance between senses and things. Examples from contemporary culture that, for Perniola, are emblems of the sex appeal of the inorganic, include progressive rock music, fashion, deconstructive architecture and the novels of Georges Perec.
