The ends of violence. Girard and Derrida
McKenna, Andrew J.
Loyola University Chicago
Jacques Derrida’s critique of philosophical origins, in his essay on Plato and elsewhere, unveils a sacrificial dynamic that René Girard hypothesizes as the origin of human culture. Girard’s latest book, Achever Clausewitz (2008), applies his mimetic theory to history: the Prussian general’s analysis of increasingly violent «reciprocal action» in modern, post-revolutionary warfare exposes the mimetic principle of lethally violent doubles. This «trend to extremes» works to the dissolution of institutions – national sovereignty, international law, politics, war itself – that Derrida explores in Voyous, his book-length essay on terrorism (2003). Both authors see the world of globalized commerce and the globalized terrorism that goes with it as enmeshed in violent undifferentiation. Girard’s historically grounded work supplies a narrative line to Derrida’s structural analyses. Derrida’s call for an ever more vigorous deconstructive rationality as a solution is symptomatic of philosophy’s blindness to the interactive crescendos of human violence that is unveiled in Girard’s religious anthropology.

Reconstructing opacity. Husserlian motivation as a ‘third synthesis’
Dell'Orto, Francesca
Università di Torino e Sorbonne-Paris IV
In this article I propose to read the Husserlian notion of ‘motivation’ by comparison with the Kantian Schematism, in order to understand its peculiar status and time frame. I maintain that motivations – like a third synthesis in addition to retention (perception) and recollection (reproduction) – mediate and organize the flux of retentions and protentions by intercession of external supports (material, artificial and cultural). Thus, they offer the means to thematize history and, consequently, to recast the transcendental basis of Phenomenology taking the opacity of consciousness into serious account.

De la méconnaissance
Dumouchel, Paul
Ritsumeikan University
I argue that the conception of «méconnaissance» put forward by René Girard should be understood in relation to what Popper calls objective knowledge rather than to the classical idea of knowledge as true and justified belief. Objective knowledge considers knowledge as a tool which is open to many uses and abuses. It allows us to make sense of Girard’s claim that «méconnaissance» grows as our knowledge increases and shows that knowledge and «méconnaissance» should not be understood as polar opposites. This suggests a different relationship between «méconnaissance» and revelation, that revelation does not spell the end of «méconnaissance» but rather initiates a different type of relationship between knowledge and «méconnaissance». I try to illustrate this last point with the help of two examples: Ernesto De Martino’s analysis of tarantism in La terra del rimorso and John Rawls’s idea of a veil of ignorance in his A theory of justice.

Transparency and the logic of auto-immunity
Antonelli, Emanuele
Università di Tor Vergata
In Voyous, Jacques Derrida develops his argument starting from the presupposition that democracy as such is the entity whose integrity and immunity are at stake and, therefore, under investigation. This gesture reflects the setting in which ten years before, in Foi et savoir, he had cast his reasoning about the logic of immunity. There, it was one of the sources of religion, the immunity of the sacred, that operated according to this logic. The hyphen between these two essays, beside Derrida’s own crossed references, is the genealogical reasoning on the meaning and essence of the concept of democracy: contrary to what Derrida claims, it will be maintained that Athenian democracy had a clear immune matrix, whose constant exercise is clearly defined, in spite of himself, by Vernant, and it will be shown how modern democracy has been forced to change policy. Modern democracy is an entity characterized by an immune deficiency. In order to save Derrida’s intuition from both the collapse of different vantage points and from a quite bizarre reticence in taking into account of the immune value of rituals, our starting point will be René Girard’s œuvre and his reading of the role of immune logic in sacred systems and, more generally, in modernity. The threshold between the auto-immune reaction, immune deficiency and auto-immune disease, between the sacrifice who delimits and constitutes the self and the holocauste du peuple en détail, is the space where, constantly exposed to the risk of auto-denial, democracy lives.

Il disgusto nel secolo dei Lumi
Mazzocut-Mis, Maddalena
In this essay I try to answer two different questions: ‘how can we define disgust?’ and ‘which kind of relationship is there between taste and disgust?’. In order to give a definition of the notion of disgust I analyze the works of different modern philosophers of the 18th century. In the first part of my writing I support the idea that disgust is strictly connected to the sense of smell. Taking into account this consideration and the idea that aesthetic feeling is never a mere pleasure of sense, I then make a distinction between feeling and emotion. This distinction allows me to say that disgust is always an emotion, and it is never connected to a judgment of taste. Within the experience of disgust, the distance and the disinterest that aesthetics requires are nullified: both in reality and in works of art disgust can never be mixed with pleasure. On this basis, I analyze the connection between disgust and hunger, as discussed by Diderot and Lessing, sympathy and animals. Ultimately, I can state that disgust can never be mixed with pleasure, and it can never find a place in the judgment of taste. Disgust isn’t opposed to beauty, but it marks its limits.

Is there a negative judgment of taste? Disgust as the real ugliness in Kant's aesthetic
Feloj, Serena
Starting from the recent debate on the role of ugly in Kant’s aesthetics and according to Paul Guyer and Reinhard Brandt, in this essay I state that in Kantian perspective any negative judgment of taste can exist. The ugly is in fact always reduced to the beauty and the principle of purposiveness doesn’t allow any pure negative aesthetic judgment. The disgust, on the contrary, seems to be the real opposite of the beauty, the irreducible ugly. In this writing I demonstrate that, with its presence, the disgust ensures the bounds of the Kantian aesthetics against the contra-purposiveness.

Gut appreciation: possibilities for aesthetic disgust
Korsmeyer, Carolyn
Although the arousal of disgust is now widely acknowledged to be an appropriate response to certain works of art, controversy remains regarding whether to consider this emotion an actual zone of appreciative enjoyment. This paper presents several solutions to the so-called paradox of aversion and argues for a brand of aesthetic disgust that produces an experience that can be savored despite its difficult and unpleasant qualities.

On the good life of disgust. L’ésthetique du stercoraire and the postmodern society
Tedeschini, Marco
Starting from a debate which took place at the beginning of the twenty-first century between Jean Clair and Arthur C. Danto, we will focus on the link between art and disgust, because we wish to show what art is now ‘doing’ with disgust. Our hypothesis is that art is part of the general process of self-reshaping that is underway in today’s capitalist societies. Therefore, by commenting Aurel Kolnai’s phenomenological analysis of disgust, we will gain the tools to try to show how disgust could be a crucial factor in the above process. Finally, we will recall the work of artists such as Pasolini, Nebreda, and McCarthy, in order to suggest how art could use disgust and have an actual political effect by orienting that process. All this is possible, because disgust has to do with the good life.

Psychoanalyse des Stinkens. Freuds Erzählung von Genese und Funktion des Ekels
Menninghaus, Winfried
The evolution of the upright walk is widely considered to be of decisive significance for the evolution of the human being. Freuds gives a highly original reading of this key feature. He emphasizes the distancing of the nose from the organs of sexual secretions and excrement and understands the defensive mechanism of disgust as the organon of turning the archaic pleasures related to the olfactory secretions into unpleasurable sensations. As an antidote to the evolution of morals – which subscribes to the elevation of the nose and pushes the human being in the direction of ‘higher’ values – Freud stresses the inescapability of the abject pleasures and ascribes to art a highly specific capacity to pleasurably address what is otherwise rejected as disgusting.

Duplicità dell'oggetto filmico
Angelucci, Daniela
This essay describes some aspects of the cinematographic object understood not only as an artistic product to be evaluated, nor only in its narrative content, but as the center of a composite device. Such a device combines different elements: the film in its entirety, the author’s thoughts, and the fundamental experience of the viewer. Following Christian Metz’s perspective, the first result we may findis the recognition of a fundamental duality of the film: compared to other means of expression, the film stimulates many axes of perception while being at the same time less perceptual, because what is shown on the screen is always recorded, past and basically absent. This duplicity of cinema is connected to other issues psychoanalytic perspective offers convincing answers to: the 'paradox' of fiction; the spectator’s identification with his own eyes; the doubling of the distance from the cinematic images.

La fragilità dell'oggetto estetico
Bartalesi, Lorenzo
The problematic notion of the «aesthetic object» prevents us from understanding the real nature of the aesthetic dimension. Therefore, a survey of the aesthetic relation as a cognitive attitude should take the place of the ontology of the aesthetic object. Such a reversal of perspective has the merit of invalidating the essentialist strategy but may result in disregarding the objectual pole of the aesthetic relation and reducing the notion of aesthetic to a psychological purely internal and subjective process or to a symbolic-interpretative relation. How does an object with an economical, ritual, religious or instrumental purpose works when it gets into an aesthetic relation? Recently, socio-cultural and evolutionary anthropologists have proposed some interpretative categories like «agency» or «artification» that face the question with a praxeological rather than semantic approach.This paper aims to integrate these notions within a expressivist theory of the aesthetic behavior. Starting from a description of perception as an expressive activity and of the aesthetic attitude as a dynamical interplay between emotion and cognition, the purpose is to propose a theory of how an object works in an aesthetic mode, a theory that must be able to escape both pansemiotism and cognitivist and emotivist subjectivism.

L’objet feuilleté. Sulla fotografia tra Barthes e Proust
Guindani-Riquier, Sara
Photography incarnates a dream of transparency since, as Roland Barthes says, “a photograph is always invisible: it is not it that we see. In short, the referent adheres”. In this regard, he provides a strange example: “The Photograph belongs to that class of laminated objects whose two leaves cannot be separated without destroying them both: the windowpane and the landscape”. In this sense, photography perfectly realises the illusion of a support which is unveiled in its materiality in order to become a pure objectivity. According to Proust, this supposed transparency is destined to fail: no photograph, in the Recherche, ever leads us to a moment of recognition. It's as if photographs were not able to let the original rise up – in transparency – without operating some kind of alteration or modification.
Proust’s scepticism toward photography is bound to a particular conception of time: he criticises in particular the instantané, a kind of image that pretends to extract a sole instant from the continual flux of time.
The instantané, however, is not the only aspect of photography considered by Proust. Proust uses expressions like “cliché négatif”, “chambre noire intérieure”, “entrée condamnée”, to show us less the description of a “photo-graphy” (light-writing) than that of a “skia-graphy” (shadows-writing). Finally, I consider the topos of the “not developed” photograph with relation to the Proustian conception of memory, that is, a memory which, according to Walter Benjamin, is deeply connected with oblivion and with the shadows of our experience.

Oggetti fisici (e non)
Morganti, Matteo
This essay aims to discuss a potential conflict between two intuitions about material objects: a 'pluralist' one, according to which every object belongs (or may belong) to more than one kind, and a 'reductionist' one, according to which there is only one fundamental type of things, i.e., material things. The former view threatens to translate a merely subjective matter of fact into an ontological fact, while the latter naturally leads to an outdated form of physicalism. What then? How to satisfy both the request for a precise ontology and the need to make sense of the richness of our experience of things? The paper reconstructs the general structure of the issue, and explores two ways of solving it via the formulation of an intermediate view.

L'oggetto sguardo nell'insegnamento di Lacan
Pagliardini, Alex
The eye occupies a central place in the teaching of Jacques Lacan. In particular, it finds its almost final formulation in Seminar X (1962-63) and Seminar XI (1964). In these Seminars the field of vision is no longer the place of illusion and mirage of the subjective identity, but it becomes the same field crossed by Freud’s Unheimlich, namely that of the sudden apparition of what is invisible. ‘Look’ is the name that Lacan gives to this appearance. The effects of what Lacan calls the ‘look function’ are: a radical alteration of the coordinates of the visual field and an effect of anguish. In such a perspective, the visual field becomes the proper place to radicalize the idea of the ‘subversion of the subject’: the subject doesn’t look, he/she is looked, the gaze looks at the subject, grabs him/her, and, in doing so, it determines the subject. Thus, Lacan reduces the subject to a claim, a need, that crosses and distorts the visual field. This distortion forces the subject to meet his/her condition of object. From this point of view, visual arts are a privileged territory to establish a certain relationship with the constant distortion of the eye (since aesthetics is, after all, ethics), therefore with that objectual condition that each subject embodies.

L'oggettività della fotografia e la conoscenza stereoscopica: da Proust a Barthes e ritorno
Piazza, Marco
This article analyzes the characteristics and the purposes that the object “photography” has in Proust’s Recherche and in Roland Barthes’ La chambre claire, by recognizing within these two texts a the double challenge represented by photography itself: that of being a transparent object and that of allowing the fruition of the extra-temporality. Barthes’ realism, however, prevents the critic from considering in its full extent the cognitive value of photography, as configured in Proust’s text, which is placed in watermark in relation to the Barthes’ discourse. Proust’s complex position with respect to the object “photography”, which he criticizes, among many other reasons, for thesnap-shot platitude, includes even a possible parallelism with the involuntary memory, since the heuristic meaning of photography is connected to the cognitive and affective dinamycs which guide our processes of remembrance and creative relationship with our own past.

Kant e la 'scuola di Gottinga'. Alcune note a margine della 'tesi Lenoir'
Gambarotto, Andrea
The paper focuses on the reception of Kant’s philosophy of biology in the context of the so-called ‘Göttingen School’. Timothy Lenoir has tried to rehabilitate the framework elaborated at Göttingen by stressing its difference from Naturphilosophie. Focusing on the work of Karl Friedrich Kielmeyer this paper argues that Lenoir’s position is based on a historiographical bias. I take into account Kielmeyer’s stance on physiology, embryology and natural history. This analysis reveals the existence of a clear shift from a regulative to a constitutive understanding of teleology. I agree with Zammito that the ‘Lenoir thesis’ should be overcome in favor of a more accurate narrative of the emergence of biology in Germany at the turn of the nineteenth century.

Molecular biology in a distributed world. A Kantian perspective on scientific practices and the human mind
Portera, Mariagrazia
Šustar, Predrag
In recent years the number of scholarly publications devoted to Kant's theory of biology has rapidly growing, with particular attention being given to Kant's thoughts about the concepts of teleology, function, organism, and their respective roles in scientific practice. Moving from these recent studies, and distancing itself from their mostly evolutionary background, the main aim of the present paper is to suggest an original "cognitive turn" in the interpretation of Kant's theory of biology. More specifically, the Authors will trace a connection between some Kantian theses about the “peculiar” or special nature of the human mind (intellectus ectypus), advanced in the Critique of the Power of Judgement (§ 76, 77), and some specific epistemological issues pertaining to the research practice of contemporary molecular biology.

Much of the philosophical attention directed to Kant’s intervention into biology has been directed toward Kant’s idea of a transcendental limit upon what can be understood constitutively. Kant’s own wider philosophical practice, however, was principally oriented toward solving problems and the scientific benefits of his methodology of teleology have been largely underappreciated, at least in the English language literature. This paper suggests that all basic biology has had, and continues to have, a need for some form of heuristic “bracketing” and that a renewal of some form of, albeit flexible, teleological methodological bracketing can better complement the productive assimilation into developmental biology of continuing advances in our understanding of the mesoscale physics and chemistry of soft, excitable condensed matter, than what has been the prevailing and de facto use of a form of bracketing shaped by the neoDarwinian Modern Synthesis. Further we offer a concept of biogeneric processes and a framework of physico-genetic “dynamical patterning modules”, that can begin to account for the appearance of new Kantian “stocks of Keime und Anlagen”, capable of potentiating some range of possible organismal forms, and provide grounds for moving up the teleological “goalposts”, i.e., expanding the range of what can be accounted for on a constitutive basis.

Metamorfosi. La questione dell'espressione nella filosofia di Merleau-Ponty
Vanzago, Luca
Merleau-Ponty’s notion of expression originates from his interests in the bodily subjectivity and is rooted in his phenomenology of perception, where he discusses language and speech in the light of his notion of embodiment. Yet this first achievement leaves some questions open. In his deepening of the problems of perception Merleau-Ponty is led to relate perception and expression in the light of a renovated investigation of the ontological implications of the former, which also leads to articulate more widely the latter. Merleau-Ponty encounters De Saussure’s diacritical and structural approach to language and integrates it within a processual understanding of Being. In this paper some aspects of the evolution of this themes are discussed and evaluated.

Merleau-Ponty from perception to language. New elements of interpretation
Dreon, Roberta
The paper investigates the relations between perception and language in Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy in the light of the recent publications of the course notes dating back to the early fifties, Le monde sensible et le monde de l'expression and Recherches sur l'usage littéraire du langage.
The first course gives us an articulated conception of expression, which plays a decisive role in explaining the continuity between perception and language. Perception is closely associated with linguistic acts of parole and sharing an expressive, diacritical structure analogous to the one characterizing linguistic meanings. Nonetheless some philosophical problems regarding Merleau-Ponty’s basically phenomenological method of searching for the roots of linguistic meanings in perceptions are considered.
In the second course the idea of the two alleged languages finds support and is developed in a more radical direction through Merleau-Ponty’s engagement with the experience of the writer trying to find new words to convey his own experience of the word. This emphasis on the langage conquérant at the expenses of ordinary shared linguistic practices is critically considered, also in the light of other research trajectories followed by the French philosopher in the same period.

Corps, image, expression. Réflexion à partir de Merleau-Ponty
Gély, Raphaël
The article aims at developing an analysis of some Merleau-Ponty’s thesis concerning art, perception and ontology, and takes freely the cue from his reflections.
In a nutshell, it argues that the creative significance of expression is deeply linked to an essential process, namely the process in which the human body becomes an image.

L’inassignable différence du vrai et du faux. Le problème du langage dans les cours de Merleau-Ponty sur la littérature
Roux, Jeanne-Marie
Criticizing linguistic idealism, Merleau-Ponty conceives the linguistic domaine through the prism of speech. The paper analyses the way in which Merleau-Ponty, in his courses concerning literature in the first half of the fifties, raises the issue of the emergence of ideality through the linguistic act, and what he proposes, in dialogue with Paul Valéry, to settle it.

Golden ratio beauty as scientific function
Olsen, Scott A.
Normally when one is considering the golden ratio in the history of ideas, one is often looking at it as an aesthetic principle – usually associated with Greek art, sculpture and mathematics. However, in recent years the prevalence of the golden ratio within a broad range of scientific disciplines has brought its role in the perfection of science to the forefront. I would like to collapse these two areas by proposing a somewhat novel way of looking at the aesthetics of the golden ratio: its pervasive expression in scientific form and function is the basis of the aesthetics in the world. Therefore, science contains the same mathematical beauty as found in artistic expression. The golden ratio guides the Chaos Border of Kolmogorov, Arnold, and Moser (KAM theorem) and it can be found hidden in all elementary particles, and even in the proportions of dark matter and energy relative to visible matter and energy. It is evident in the structure and growth functions of plants and animals and it can be found in the physiological functions of humans. It now appears that without the golden ratio, we would not have the form or function of the proton, cell, athlete, horse, species, planet, solar system or galaxy.

La prospettiva scientifica
Ghione, Franco
In this article we expose the Euclidean theory of vision and, in particular, those theorems that deal with prospective representation. Our aim is to show how the central perspective was known in the Hellenistic era both from a theoretical and practical point of view as evidenced by the analysis of some imperial period frescoes found in Rome. In the second part of this article we look at the Euclidean perspective theorems, using the Cartesian coordinates and the limit idea.

Mathematics and geometry towards ideality in «Domus»’s ideal houses
Chiodo, Simona
Between 1942 and 1943 the editor of the journal «Domus» invited the most important Italian architects to design their ideal houses: fifteen projects designed by seventeen architects were published. They are most instructive to try to understand, firstly, what the philosophical notion of ideal means and, secondly, why mathematical and geometric tools are extensively used to work on ideality, namely, to design ideal houses. The first part of the article focuses on the philosophical foundations of ideality and, after an overview of the fifteen projects, on the use of the golden ratio in two particularly meaningful cases. The second part of the article focuses on the cases in which there is a hidden use of the golden ratio, on the use of the modulus and on the use of the number 2.

From symbols to written landscapes. The role of astronomy in ancient Egyptian architecture
Magli, Giulio
Architecture of ancient Egypt is criss-crossed by a series of giant projects whose aim was to celebrate the divine nature of the Pharaohs and their rights to eternal afterlife. In many of such projects a complex interplay between idealization of symbols in hieroglyph writings and shaping of built objects and cultural landscapes can be seen. Since the afterlife destination of the Pharaohs was in the sky, astronomy plays a relevant role in understanding this interplay, as it occurs, in particular, in the Khufu project at Giza and in the planning of Akhenaten’s capital at Amarna.

The meanings of the sigh. Vocal expression along the route of our desires
Poggi, Isabella
Ansani, Alessandro
Cecconi, Christian
The work defines the sigh as a type of breath expressing or communicating specific physical or mental internal states. To investigate the meanings of the sigh, the paper presents analyses of written and oral corpora, finding out that it may express different emotions like boredom or frustration, but also positive meanings like self-encouragement; then it focuses on the use of sighs in political debates. Finally a perception study shows participants’ agreement on the meanings of sighs in terms of valence and arousal. These results lay the bases for future studies to set a clearer distinction between sighs and other vocalisations as well as other effects on its meaning caused by the combination with other body signals like rolling eyes or shaking head.

Embodied cognition e origine del linguaggio: il ruolo cruciale del gesto
Adornetti, Ines
Chiera, Alessandra
Ferretti, Francesco
In this paper, we show how the embodied revolution within cognitive sciences has relevant consequences for the topic of language origins. The empirical findings of the embodied approaches, indeed, allow to elaborate a motor theory of language origins according to which human language originated from the gestural communication of our ancestors. Theories that propose that human language emerged from gesture suggest that an important stage in the evolution of human communication was that of pantomime, i.e. a spontaneous bodily mode of expression in which meaning is conveyed through resemblance. Adhering to this idea, we suggest that pantomime can be considered a platform for the emergence of human communication as it is a primordial mode of expression to tell stories without language. Based on that, we maintain that the possibility to explain the advent of language with reference to pantomime represents a way to support a narrative model of language origins.

Gesto, suono e corpo. Sul ruolo della mano nell’espressione della musica
Di Stefano, Nicola
The role of gesture in music has been widely investigated in different disciplines, from experimental psychology to aesthetics, from musicology to anthropology. What seems to drive the different researches is the question about the relationship arising between gestures and sound, and how this relationship affects the experience of music. In this article, I focus on the role of the hand in the production, listening and expression of music. After briefly referring to the influence of body development on language, I consider some typical responses to listening to music that involve the hand, suggesting that musical experience relies on the ability of the listener-performer to transform sound perceptions into motor units. In the conclusion, I delve deeper into the topic in a phenomenological direction, proposing that gestures can be configured as a bodily continuation of the musical material rather than mere motor reactions or conventional responses to sound perception.

Gestures, Peirce, and the French philosophy of mathematics
Maddalena, Giovanni
The idea of ‘gesture’ is present in the philosophical world in various forms. All of them might find an important theoretical grounding in pragmatist philosophy, if we combine pragmatism with some French philosophies of mathematics and read it as a way out of the Kantian philosophy of representation. The paper uses the insights of Jean Cavaillès (1903-1944) to set out the problem of the weakness of the epistemic Kantian defense of mathematical and logical thought. Cavaillès rejected the possible amendments to Kant’s explanation provided by both Husserl and Bolzano and their heirs. He used the word ‘gesture’ in order to explain the activity of mathematicians who have to act synthetically, following rules, with some physical representation, and being aware of the possibility of failure. Cavaillès conceived the use of gesture as an alternative to the Heidegerian idea of event defended by Albert Lautman. The paper then follows the idea of gesture in the French philosophy of mathematics of Gilles Châtelet and Giuseppe Longo. Finally, the paper illustrates how Peirce’s study of Existential Graphs and the main insights of pragmatism complete Cavaillès’s idea by giving to gestures a phenomenological and semiotic structure. The pragmatist philosophy of gesture is thus a new way of overthrowing Kant’s philosophy of representation without surrendering to irrationalism.

Gesto, lavoro e teoria delle categorie. Per un dialogo tra Peirce e Bloch
Borrelli, Giorgio
In this paper, I will try to establish a parallel between Charles S. Peirce’s (1839-1914) and Ernst Bloch’s (1885-1977) theory of categories. Both the authors hypothesise a phenomenological foundation for their theory of categories: categories are elements of Experience (according to Peirce) and products of Praxis (according to Bloch). Nevertheless, Bloch’s phenomenology is characterised by a peculiar aspect: according to Bloch, the gestural dimension plays a fundamental role in the Knowledge Process, positing the category of ‘Possibility’. In line with Maddalena’s analyses on the relation between ‘Complete Gesture’ and ‘Work’, I will try to illustrate that the parallel between Bloch and Peirce can be extended, by including the semiotic dimension of gesture.

Two new gestures. On Peirce's continuum and the existential graphs
Zalamea, Fernando
The article presents two gestures corresponding to two profound new understandings of Peirce's Continuum (Vargas 2015) and Peirce's Existential Graphs (Oostra 2010). Vargas and Oostra have revolutionized Peirce's mathematical studies, thanks to a first complete model for Peirce's continuum provided by Vargas, and thanks to the emergence of intuitionistic existential graphs provided by Oostra. The article aims at showing how these careful mathematical constructions can be encrypted in very simple gestures.

‘Gesto’ e identità personale. Per una epistemologia del sé in chiave pragmatista
Bella, Michela
This article aims to show the validity of an actualization of William James’s pragmatist epistemology of psychology for the construction of personal identity. Following Giovanni Maddalena’s theoretical hypothesis of “gesture” as a complete synthetic tool for the acquisition of knowledge, an in-depth analysis of the continuous and dynamic conception of personal identity proposed by James may be helpful today to better develop the emotional-somatic dimension of synthetic reasoning. As far as the epistemology of the Self is concerned, significant continuities and discontinuities are drawn from James’s naturalized integrated conception of personal identity in the light of this new Peirce’s inspired interpretation. This attempt is part of a wider project in which recovering the character of psychological and ontological processual continuity in James’s epistemology makes a considerable contribution to the development of a comprehensive understanding of mental models, one that avoids to tighten up these models as it happens in most of the contemporary epistemologies of the self.

Generalizzare, proiettare, evitare i gesti incompleti come strumento di analisi psicologica
Santarelli, Matteo
This article aims to apply the classification of incomplete gestures introduced by Maddalena (2015) as a tool for understanding and classifying different attachment patterns (West 2001; Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, Wall 1978; Talia, Miller-Bottome, Daniel 2017). In the first section the classification of incomplete gestures proposed by Maddalena will be reconstructed. In the second part the relationship between communication and attachment will be introduced through a brief critical survey of the psychological literature dedicated to this subject. In the third part I aim to show how the specific communication of the insecure avoidant pattern is characterized by two specific types of incomplete gestures: schematization and projection. Specifically, the avoidant seems to adopt communicative strategies that allow to minimize, deactivate or at least limit the conjunction between the two phenomenological qualities of firstness and secondness (Peirce). In the conclusions, I will briefly analyse some theoretical repercussions of the approach adopted, especially with regard to the relationship between incompleteness and completeness.

Nel gesto, nell’atto. L’arte della performance tra opera e evento
Giombini, Lisa
What kind of art is performance art? In what sense – if any – can it be defined? This paper is an attempt to answer these questions by drawing on the category of ‘performative gesture’. One crucial manifestation of the character of performance art is the way it challenges our traditional ideas about what art is. A pivotal point is that performance art does not hold up to the traditional notion of artistic creativity as either a process of ‘production’ or ‘reproduction’. It is rather committed to putting the focus of artistic creativity on a special kind of gestures, differing from both the gestures of traditional art and from the gestures of theater. Performative gestures do not ‘bring anything into being’; analogously, they do not ‘mimic’ nor ‘represent’. Instead, they suggest the worrying idea that everything and anything can be considered art: not only every object, but even every ordinary act in everyday life. In this sense, performance art attempts at blurring the boundaries between art and life.

Il gesto assoluto. Duchamp, l’opera d’arte e il linguaggio
Cimatti, Felice
The Marcel Duchamp absolute gesture is such a gesture that inaugurates an escape movement from any Symbolic Order (another name of this movement is the Deleuzian «becoming-animal»); a gesture that, obviously, Duchamp does not stop play out, because each time he enacts it, this is a new gesture; there is no rule for the absolute gesture. In fact, if it existed it would not be absolute. Duchamp is such an ‘artist’ who is without work, then, because what matters is not art, but the making of one's existence something unique.
The absolute gesture consists in the making of art a form of life.

Il pollo e il falsario
Folci, Mauro
In his last teaching Michel Foucault examines the position of the cynical philosopher. This attitude, characterized by a gesture authentically subversive and expressive of a form of life, is assumed and transfigured by the artistic practice of Mauro Folci, who in the performance Smercio di moneta falsa (2016) as Diogene is committed to parakharattein to nomisma (in the two possible readings, equally considered: 'falsify the coin' and 'subvert the costumes').

Nel grembo del linguaggio: per un’estetica del gesto supplementare
Oliva, Stefano
The term ‘gesture’ is often used for an action capable of conveying a meaning and, in this sense, it is related to the question of the origin of language. In this paper I rather focus on a concept of ‘gesture’ intended as the «supplement of an act» (Barthes), produced by an historical and cultural process (Berio) and representative of a «pure mediality» (Agamben). Such a different notion of gesture should not to be confused with a form of expression considered as an end in itself. In this perspective, I will try to think the artistic gesture not as bearer of meaning but as what is ‘beared’, i.e., as the non-communicative rest of previous acts of communication.

Assessing an Individual’s Well-Being through the Quality of their Life and Work
D'Andrea, Antonella
The quality of working conditions have a direct impact on the individuals’ quality of life and level of well-being. Attention to well-being in work environments has become a matter of great interest for legislators. However, the well-being concept has not yet found a legal definition. The first commitment to achieve a global well-being strategy was made by the World Health Organisation. The European Union claims that a positive relationship between work and well-being is a necessary factor to reach greater economic and social progress, since full and quality employment is one of the main elements of economic stability and social cohesion in a country. The Italian regulatory framework consists of various legislative provisions: the importance of the workers’ good health and quality of life has generated a complex regulatory system. In the digital society the potential health risks associated with the use of IT tools and the risk of an increased overlapping between work and personal life should not be overlooked.

La fine del futuro: le trasformazioni del sentimento dell’identità personale e della politica in Italia
Dessì, Gianni
This essay aims to emphasize the link between the feelings of insecurity and uncertainty that spreads in contemporary societies and the rise of populism. The triumph of globalization, the crisis of welfare state caused a social atmosphere of insecurity and environmental fear: in this situation the citizens mostly fight for individual security and political leaders suggest a simple and schematic conception of democracy.

Well-being as Self-Realization or as Gratification
Ferrara, Alessandro
Two rival conceptions of well-being are reconstructed and contrasted, which have contended for philosophical pre-eminence throughout the Western conversation of philosophy. One view understands well-being as a life course in which as many as possible of a subject’s preferences are satisfied. The other view understands well-being as a life course in which some unique project of the subject comes to be realized. In the second part of the paper the aggregative view of well-being, championed by Hobbes and Locke is shown to correlate with a radically or moderately understanding of freedom, and the holistic view of well-being with a positive notion of freedom, championed by Rousseau, Kierkegaard and Kohut. After showing how some of the conceptual difficulties of the radically negative view of freedom reverberate on the aggregative notion of well-being, in the final section some constitutive dimensions of the holistic view are discussed.

Well-being as a Collective Atmosphere
Griffero, Tonino
A neo-phenomenological and atmospherological approach, mainly based on a first-person perspective, seems perfectly entitled to consider subjective and collective well-being as the starting point for a (non-quantitative) philosophical reflection. The question is, however, whether and how well-being, also as an atmosphere, can be really investigated and verified. The paper examines many traditional roblems hindering the research (difficulty in investigating it directly, degree of extent, intensity, comparison-dependence, temporal development, consistency, and continuity) and suggests to analyze well-being from a pathic-atmospheric point of view. It therefore focuses especially on the idea of “flow”, wonders how much our well-being depends on the felt-bodily resonances triggered by atmospheric situations, considers the probable parallels between the aesthetic-phenomenologic notion of “atmosphere” and the sociological one of “climate”, finally, underlines the (also political) need of an atmospheric competence that is able to partly immunize against today’s widespread manipulative atmospherization.

A Danger to a Just Society? A Holistic view on Disgust
Tedeschini, Marco
In this paper, I consider the relationship that obtains between disgust and the idea of a just society. Contra Martha C. Nussbaum, who argues that disgust poses dangers to a just society, I contend that disgust can either damage or promote the construction of a just society. In fact, I largely agree with Nussbaum’s perspective on disgust, except for this point: disgust, I think, is not necessarily dangerous for a just society, but can also be useful and constitute an important element for its development. In order to justify my claim, first, I will comment on Nussbaum’s criticism of disgust. Second, I will analyse Paul Rozin and April E. Fallon’s seminal study on disgust, which Nussbaum’s own research fully presupposes. Third, I will outline a slightly different, indeed “holistic” view on disgust, and bring forward some arguments for the use of disgust in order to construct a just society.

Well-being, Trust and Society
Hassan, Claudia Gina
The concept of well-being is correlated with social indicators linked in turn with the classical notion of “the good life”. The paper, instead, emphasizes the importance of relational aspects. It develops a reflection on the dialectic of interpersonal and systemic trust and mistrust, and it analyzes different semantic nuances of the notion of trust. A society characterized by well-being evidences strong type agency, a society with low levels of well being evidences weak type agency. Trust is a social resource indispensable for sustaining agency, society’s self-transformation and well-being. While trust is traditionally thought to contribute to social cohesion, mistrusting the rulers can also be considered a positive countervailing force in contemporary democracies. At the same time, the distrust sedimented in time creates, on the one hand, a saving expectation and on the other, paternalisation as a search for a substitute trust.
