Eco-Phenomenology: Life, Human Life, Post-Human Life in the Harmony of the Cosmos
This volume presents discussions on a wide range of topics focused on eco-phenomenology and the interdisciplinary investigation of contemporary environmental thought. Starting out with a Tymieniecka Memorial chapter, the book continues with papers on the foundations, theories, readings and philosophical sources of eco-phenomenology. In addition, it examines issues of phenomenological anthropology, ecological perspectives of the human relationship to nature, and phenomenology of the living body and the virtual body. Furthermore, the volume engages in a dialogue with contemporary behavioral sciences on topics such as eco-alienation, sustainability, and the human relationship to the earth in the context of the cosmos.
Embodiment
This book examines a number of landmark shifts in our account of the relationship between human and divine existence, as reflected through the perception of time and corporeal experience. Drawing together some of the best scholars in the field, this book provides a representative cross-section of influential trends in the philosophy of religion (e.g. phenomenology, existential thought, Biblical hermeneutics, deconstruction) that have shaped our understanding of the body in its profane and sacred dimensions as site of conflicting discourses on presence and absence, subjectivity and the death of the subject, mortality, resurrection and eternal life.
Toward an Anthropology of Screens
This book shows that screens don’t just distribute the visible and the invisible, but have always mediated our body's relationships with the physical and anthropological-cultural environment. By combining a series of historical-genealogical reconstructions going back to prehistoric times with the analysis of present and near-future technologies, the authors show that screens have always incorporated not only the hiding/showing functions but also the protecting/exposing ones, as the Covid-19 pandemic retaught us. The intertwining of these functions allows the authors to criticize the mainstream ideas of images as inseparable from screens, of words as opposed to images, and of what they call “Transparency 2.0” ideology, which currently dominates our socio-political life. Moreover, they show how wearable technologies don’t approximate us to a presumed disappearance of screens but seem to draw a circular pathway back to using our bodies as screens. This raises new relational, ethical, and political questions, which this book helps to illuminate.
The Art of Artificial Intelligence
What is artificial intelligence to us today? This book tackles this question from a somewhat unique perspective, that of art. The starting hypothesis is that art can provide an example of how we can engage with artificial intelligence without being subjugated by it. The Art of Artificial Intelligence: Philosophical Keywords guides the reader through a theoretical journey that begins, each time, with a particular work of art: visual artworks, but also literary texts and theatrical performances. Each chapter is anchored by a philosophical keyword: "work," "author," "time," "memory," "human." What meanings do these words take on in light of these new practices? The book is aimed at a broad audience, including anyone who feels the need to reflect on these new questions. It will also be an essential resource for students and university faculty in various disciplines, from philosophy to media studies, from art history to visual culture.
Gaston Bachelard, Revised and Updated
Comprehensive overview of the entire spectrum of works by one of twentieth-century Frances most original thinkers. Gaston Bachelard, one of twentieth-century Frances most original thinkers, is known by English-language readers primarily as the author of The Poetics of Space and several other books on the imagination, but he made significant contributions to the philosophy and history of science. In this book, Roch C. Smith provides a comprehensive introduction to Bachelards work, demonstrating how his writings on the literary imagination can be better understood in the context of his exploration of how knowledge works in science. After an overview of Bachelards writings on the scient...
Filosofia del sentire
Il presente volume si inscrive nel contesto degli studi filosofici che rendono operativa la nozione di aisthesis al fine di promuovere un approccio estetologico orientato al sentire. La peculiarità di tale approccio è la valorizzazione del movimento spontaneo e della nozione di ascolto e l’integrazione della prospettiva storica della modernità nella trattazione dell’arte. Ad accomunare i saggi qui tradotti è, pertanto, l’elaborazione di una “filosofia del sentire” mediante le categorie di movimento, spazio e ritmo. L’approccio fenomenologico di Erwin Straus (1891-1975), il legame tra musica e danza e l’analisi estetico-filosofica di quest’ultimo da parte di Henri Maldiney (1912-2013), orientano la problematizzazione del sentire proseguita nella versione inedita del testo Il gioco del sentire nell’arte.
Cura del senso e critica sociale
Quando una disciplina inizia a guardarsi indietro per redigere la propria storia, certamente èin crisi. Non èil caso della semiotica oggi in Italia, dove anzi ci si trova in un momento di forte crescita, sia dal punto di vista degli andamenti della ricerca sia da quello accademico e culturale. Fatte salve le resistenze (corporative? ideologiche? politiche?) allo sviluppo del paradigma di studi sui testi e i modelli socio-culturali, la semiotica italiana vive un’euforica crescita intellettuale: ha ribadito i propri programmi d’azione e di passione, s’èdotata degli adeguati strumenti di indagine, ha superato prove e controprove, ha raggiunto parecchi risultati: e sta ricevendo i dovut...
Transmedialità e crossmedialità
La riflessione dedicata ai rapporti tra le arti e ai corrispondenti codici espressivi ha rivestito un ruolo preponderante nella storia del canone occidentale. Transmedialità e crossmedialità, realizzato con la collaborazione del Dottorato in Visual and Media Studies dell’Università IULM di Milano, ripercorre un dibattito interdisciplinare sulla trasmigrazione e sulla conseguente morfogenesi ibrida dei significati nel passato recente e nel contemporaneo. A partire dalle analogie e dalle differenze tra la multimedialità e le sue più recenti evoluzioni nell’era moderna e postmoderna, attraversando teorie e pratiche dell’intertestualità e della riscrittura, fino a giungere alle ibridazioni tra linguaggi artistici, dispositivi e nuove interfacce, il volume indaga un vasto panorama di tematiche a partire dalla complessità dei processi multi-, trans- e cross-mediali.
