193 | Tracce Finestre Visioni
The issue of Engramma “Tracce Finestre Visioni” (Traces Windows Visions) collects a series of contributions focused on the relationship between text and image, with particular insistence on the boundary between them as labile, porous and fragile: with holes and gaps that take the form of windows; latencies and wounds that appear like visions; persistences that are perceivable as traces.

Tra arte cinetica e testo usicale elettroacustico, by Guglielmo Bottin; Embodiment vs Rejectingness. Per una evoluzione del “sistema di filtri” nell’opera di Pierre Bonnard (1925-1935), by...
190 | Figli di Marte 2022. Immagini in guerra
Since its first issues, Engramma has come to terms with images in war.

Immagini del pensiero. Omaggio a Franco Rella
The issue of Engramma no. 209 is the outcome of a Seminar held in Venice, on 11 January 2024, on the occasion of what would have been Franco Rella’s eightieth birthday, not to honour his death, but to celebrate the life of his thought; not an “Obituary”, therefore, but a “Festschrift”. The title “Immagini del pensiero” (“Images of Thought”) is borrowed from Franco Rella's important volume published in 1984, Metamorfosi. Immagini del pensiero and responds to this need: to open up the field to a thematich orizon that starts from the object and follows a personal gradient of abstraction, in virtue of the fact that “the word and the image open a way to thought, through things...
