Collective Memory Narratives in Contemporary Culture
Starting from the central importance of memory in contemporary societies, this book encourages a transdisciplinary reflection on how the “presentification of the past” is never a simple reenactment but corresponds to the interaction between memory and cultural sensitiveness, present beliefs and needs, expectations, and forecasts for the future. It studies cultural (re)construction through collective stories, including academic debates, media narratives, collective mobilizations, state narratives of history, architectural reconstructions, and artistic expressions. It looks at how technological innovations have profoundly changed the practices of conservation and dissemination of collectiv...
The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation
One of the temptations of the preacher is to make all conversations about grace too “nice”. But a true preacher of grace, like Carlos, knows that this does not help people grow in faith at all. In this book, Carlos continues his ambitious, multi-volume quest to make it possible to live the Christian faith authentically without either dumbing down our intelligence or forcing us into a Stockholm syndrome of speaking “well” while tamping down the realities through which we are really living. Hence, Carlos has put his nets deep into the life experiences of different groups of those who have lost, of those for whom the outrage of death is a constant reality, and who have had to learn a ne...
The Nature of Social Reality
Searle's theory of social reality is increasingly meeting with worldwide recognition, and is undoubtedly the most prominent theory of social ontology (at least in the post-analytical tradition), even if actual research in this domain is engaged in critical confrontation with it. Searle's approach continues to shape the debate, but his construction is more and more sharply dissected, both in its details and in its general assumptions. Furthermore, new perspectives, not rooted in the analytical...
The Spirituality of T. S. Eliot
In his preface, Redmond writes: “A century ago, Thomas Sterns Eliot published The Waste Land (1922), the poem that shook the staid world of Anglo-Saxon intellectuals. Eliot thought that the hope of the renaissance, after passing through the rationality of the Enlightenment and the utopia of the 19th century, was ending in a desert of “futility and desperation”. He saw the cause as culture loss. We have broken with our deepest traditions: literary, philosophical, spiritual; we have lost our humanities, our humanity [...] Eliot never lost his pessimism. But he balanced this realism with the hopefulness obvious in his later works, especially in Four Quartets, but hinted at in The Waste La...

Fenomenologia e realtà
Il volume ripercorre alcune delle linee tematiche che hanno fino ad oggi caratterizzato l’opera di Stefano Besoli, considerando la fenomenologia come il punto di partenza e, al contempo, l’approdo della sua riflessione filosofica. Il coro di voci che ha voluto esprimere quest’omaggio allo studioso italiano, docente per tanti anni all’Università di Bologna, si è articolato come segue: dalle figure di Husserl e di Heidegger si è risalito a monte e ridisceso a valle del corso fenomenologico, rintracciandone le prefigurazioni e ripercorrendone gli assi fondamentali per aprirsi ad altre prospettive sia in chiave storica sia d’attualità. Le problematiche su cui si è posta l’attenzione (l’intenzionalità, l’intuizione, l’essere, il linguaggio, il tempo, lo spazio, per citarne solo alcune) sono le possibili tappe lungo i sentieri della ricerca filosofica, in un’esplorazione che, come la fenomenologia insegna, non può mai dirsi conclusa.
Il male sordo
La vita sovente si manifesta come ciò che irrompe e frantuma il modo rassicurante di rappresentare e di significare il mondo in cui esistiamo. L’assurdo, allora, fa irruzione lasciando intravedere come al di là di tutto, a fondamento, non ci siano tanto un senso e un orizzonte promettente, quanto piuttosto il caos. Ci si affaccia – si è scaraventati – in una dimensione molto concreta, in cui tutto perde di significato e diviene indifferente. Si viene sopraffatti dal Male, che non può essere ricondotto a un’azione, umana o non-umana, di fronte alla quale si potrebbe ancora re-agire, né può essere spiegato e quindi ricondotto all’interno di un mondo, un sistema di significati. Di fronte a questa situazione, alle volte, ma non sempre, si manifesta non tanto una via d’uscita, quanto piuttosto un modo di stare, di abitare al bordo di questo abisso, senza venirne risucchiati. Il corpo, al di là della contrapposizione corpo-carne, può diventare allora luogo di questa possibilità.
Dignidad Intercultural
En América Latina el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos colectivos de los pueblos originarios presenta distintos ritmos, en unos Estados es más profundo que en otros, pero sin duda es un movimiento que recorre la región. Así, los investigadores del proyecto Deconstrucción y genealogía del concepto de dignidad de los pueblos originarios en el pensamiento latinoamericano, que aquí colaboran, abordan conceptos considerados periclitados o terminados para convertirlos en acicates del pensamiento hermenéutico y genealógico y conducirlos nuevamente a debate. Algunos autores muestran que las lenguas de los pueblos originarios abren mundos y sentidos de dignidad -como sinónimo del cuida...
