The question of imaginary starts where its opposition to reality ends. Once this opposition is dismissed, it becomes possible thinking of imaginary as a mean of construction and transformation of the social reality. A series of essays – regarding the taking form of socio-anthropological environments; the collective dynamics of social integration; the mass media metamorphosis; the politics legitimation processes; the symbolic dimension of economics and that of the material culture; the representation of otherness – trace an analytical perspective in which imaginary represents an essential tool for a deep understanding of social phenomena. Contributors: Sergio Brancato, Francesca Colella, Stefano Cristante, Fabio D'Andrea, Valentina Grassi, Pier Luca Marzo, Milena Meo, Luca Mori, Maria Giovanna Musso, Domenico Secondulfo, Antonio Tramontana, and Pier Paolo Zampieri
Chaos and Cosmos offers a new and unique interpretation of Argentine essayist and fiction writer Jorge Luis Borges as a thinker of what continental twentieth century political theory called the political. While not a political writer in the traditional sense, Borges was indeed an author whose response to the advent of totalitarianism, in particular in its Nazi form, generated the most experimental, insightful, and rigorous short fiction and non-fiction political interrogation. As is well known, Borges’ writing went beyond originality; it created a genre of its own, and the Borgesian style is not limited to form. This Borgesian style fundamentally relates to how his response to the advent o...
Doing research is an ever-changing challenge for social scientists. This challenge is harder than ever today as current societies are changing quickly and in many, sometimes conflicting, directions. Social phenomena, personal interactions, and formal and informal relationships are becoming more borderless and disconnected from the anchors of the offline “reality.” These dynamics are heavily marking our time and are suggesting evolutionary challenges in the ways we know, interpret, and analyze the world. Internet and computer-mediated communication (CMC) is being incorporated into every aspect of daily life, and social life has been deeply penetrated by the internet. This is due to recent...
In che modo può l'arte affiancarsi alla crescita e stimolare l'immaginario mantenendo una funzione critica? Crescere nell'Assurdo. Uno sguardo dello Stretto indaga queste domande, formulate da Altre Velocità all'interno del progetto "Crescere Spettatori", e le relaziona allo Stretto di Messina, dove processi contraddittori di simbolizzazione e di erosione dell'identità storica convivono con strascichi di un patrimonio popolare ancora vitale e con forme di resistenza culturale. Coniugando un ricco apparato iconografico con le parole di studiosi, critici e prestigiosi artisti del panorama messinese, il volume ripercorre le tracce di un tempo perduto di cui pensiero e arte rinnovano la memoria e la capacità di azione, andando incontro al territorio. Propone, così, un cammino che ci interroga sulle forme, oltre che sui contenuti, di un'educazione al pensiero critico dentro e fuori dalle istituzioni scolastiche e universitarie.
