Time and History
The hypothesis from which this book starts is that the twentieth century has broken the link between time and history, thus producing a twofold consequence. On the one hand, time definitively loses the characteristics of linearity and coherence that it still had in Hegel, and will be conceived in terms of a multiplicity of heterogeneous temporal lines; on the other hand, and consequently, history tends to disappear from the philosophical horizon to give way to theses on a post-historical time, whose main characteristics are stasis, the inability to synthesize incoherent temporalities, the impossibility of producing openings towards the future. However, precisely within the short century – the one in which time has supposedly contracted to the point of expunging history from itself – critical reflections were produced, which, despite the acquisition of scientific and philosophical lessons about the multi- form and reversible nature of time, have recovered a fruitful relation with history in a cumulative and teleological sense.
On Extension
The point of intersection between the theoretical paths of Nancy and Arendt lies in the theme that is also the most difficult problem they bequeath to us. Both, in fact, think of being in terms of a drive to appear, a movement that tends to be infinite and, for that very reason dangerous, and yet one that must be indulged and even urged. Thought must, so to speak, stay close to this original dimension in which extension spaces itself: it is in this proximity that existence experiences a thrill, a fervor. It is what Arendt calls “public happiness” and Nancy calls “ferveur” or “extase”. The stakes of both philosophical exercises are very similar. It is a matter of identifying with extreme accuracy and within a much broader ontological drive, the narrow space between an intensification of existence comparable to fascist and fusional ardor, and an exposition that remains at a suspended step. It is a matter of taking the narrow path between mystical ecstasy, and an inoperative ecstasy, that is, a projection towards the outside that does not access any surreality, but merely spaces – continually putting back into play – immanence in which we are.
Domino
Francesco Spina è il responsabile dei sistemi informativi della WeCARe, filiale italiana di una multinazionale del noleggio auto. È un workaholic, ha un passato da hacker ed è segretamente legato a Giulia, assistente di Augusto, amministratore delegato dell’azienda. Quando Giulia, per caso, ascolta frammenti di una conversazione tra Augusto e il suo amico fidato Alex, direttore marketing, scopre le loro incredibili trame ai danni di Francesco. Con il suo romanzo Marco Gallo svela i meccanismi delle aziende coinvolte in attività criminose e ci offre uno spaccato del mondo del lavoro in cui la collaborazione e i diritti sono evanescenti e dove carrierismo, gelosie, maldicenze e paure muovono le persone intenzionate a emergere o a non soccombere ai colleghi. Un’avvincente spy story che racconta una realtà in cui i protagonisti sono come le tessere del domino.
Sulle tracce di Abramo
La ricerca affronta il pensiero di Derrida alla luce dal suo rapporto con il giudaismo. L’analisi segue tre concetti chiave: lingua, legge e terra, sviluppati nel confronto con la modernità ebraica. La prima parte mette in relazione la decostruzione del logocentrismo con l’attenzione ebraica per l’alterità della significazione e della scrittura, tramite il rapporto con le Scritture e la “lingua santa”. La seconda connette la cifra sradicante e singolare della legge mosaica con la decostruzione del legalismo. La terza affronta la rilettura della cifra esodale e messianica del giudaismo, utile a Derrida per ripensare il politico. Tale prospettiva mira a suggerire quanto l’ebraicità derridiana possa rappresentare una chance per l’Europa a-venire.
Everything Keeps Dissolving
Core members of the legendary British experimental band Coil tell its story in the present-tense, as events unfold across their twenty-year history. Between 1983 and 2004 the legendary British experimental band Coil established themselves as shape-shifting doyens of esoteric music whose influence has grown spectacularly in the years since their untimely end. With music that could be dark, queer, and difficult, but often retained a warped pop sensibility, Coil’s albums were multi-faceted repositories of esoteric knowledge, lysergic wisdom and acerbic humor. In Everything Keeps Dissolving, core members John Balance and Peter Christopherson tell Coil’s story in the present-tense, and from t...

Unlimit
Many voices today call for a profound rethinking of European identity. If we wish to answer their call, however, it is necessary to start with a reconsideration of the notion of boundaries, particularly as they are at work in the Mediterranean region. The knowledge and cultural values of the Mediterranean may be the driving force able to overcome the impasse from which Europe seems unable to free itself. This volume focuses on the opportunity to employ Mediterranean knowledge and cultural values as a stimulus for the review of European policies, in the interest of creating a solid bridge between different cultural legacies and over the daunting challenges of our shared future. This means bei...
Femicide and the Law
This book explores femicide, and scrutinizes the three key American criminal doctrines usually applied in its cases: provocation; the felony murder rule; self-defence. The book also explores the influence of the American Model Penal Code, and proposes, connected to the various criminal doctrines applicable to femicide, a focused and detailed amendment to the Code containing unique features and a formula providing a socio-legal response to issues that the author believes have not yet been adequately addressed. Though primarily focused on femicide in America, the issues discussed are of global relevance due to the tragically widespread nature of femicide, and the book also makes significant contributions to the legal discourse of many other countries with similar legal structures.
