Cimatti, Felice. "The circular semiosis of Giorgio Prodi." Sign Systems Studies 28 (December 31, 2000): 351–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/sss.2000.28.19.
Abstract:
Prodi's semiotics theory comes into being to answer a radical question: if a sign is a cross-reference, what guarantees the relation between the sign and the object to which it is referring? Prodi rebukes all traditional solutions: a subject's voluntary intention, a convention, the iconic relation between sign and object. He refutes the fIrst answer because the notion of intention, upon which it is based, is, indeed, a fully mysterious entity. The conventionalist answer is just as unsatisfactory for it does nothing but extends to a whole group that which cannot be explained for a single component; the iconic one, finally, is rejected toosince in this case the notion of "likeliness", as the basis of the concept of "iconicity", is not explained. Prodi's answer is to locate the model of semiotic relations in the figure of the circle. The circle is life, which is nothing else but an infinite chain of translation and recognition relations amidst ever more complex systems. The circle has neither a beginning nor an end. It has no foundation, no established rule. It holds no cause that cannot become, in turn, effect. Semiosis, then, is based upon life for life, itself, is intrinsically semiotic. We can put the world in signs, that is we can come to know it, because we, ourselves, are a part of that very worldthat through us is made known. Finally, what this implies is that being inside the circle of semiosis-life, an issue arises what is beyond that circle: that is both an aesthetic and a religious problem.

Abstract:
In his satirical novel Meetings of the Mind, David Damrosch shows comparative literature as a dying discipline, unable to grasp the world’s complexity. Nonetheless, it is precisely the new global reality that makes the comparative approach more valid than ever before. The challenges of the discipline are not only cognitive, but also ethical. The comparative studies unifying the world’s patrimony should create a cross-cultural and truly universal basis of solidarity. Such an endeavor is to be found in the works of universally-oriented intellectuals, Giorgio Agamben and George Steiner.

Abstract:
This article takes up the notion of "refugee" worked on by Hannah Arendt and Giorgio Agamben on the basis of lack of protection in the countries of origin, to trace a continuity with the "refugee" as a subject of protection in a host State. The objective of this writing is to show a continuity contained in a subject such as the refugee, who is at the same time unprotected (by the State of belonging) and protected (by the State in which he takes refuge). The State appears in both situations as the central actor that defines the status of the subject. Este artículo retoma la noción de “refugiado” trabajada por Hannah Arendt y Giorgio Agamben sobre la base de la desprotección en los países de origen, para trazar una continuidad con el “refugiado” como sujeto de protección en un Estado de acogida. El objetivo de este escrito es mostrar una continuidad contenida en un sujeto como el refugiado, que es al mismo tiempo desprotegido (por el Estado de pertenencia) y protegido (por el Estado en el que se asila). El Estado se presenta en ambas situaciones como actor central que define el estatus del sujeto.

Abstract. Business activity and its various directions change parallel to global political-social-economic processes, and they frequently must adjust to new, occasionally unanticipated situations and change their activities fundamentally. The sustainability of entrepreneurial activity is ultimately impacted by how responsive it is to external influences and how frequently appropriate management techniques of the processes must be changed. The paper analyzes the legal grounds of the status of small and medium-sized business organisations in Georgia and their classification criteria, and discusses the historical experience and international practice of giving such status. The article also analyzes the dynamics of economic indicators and special taxing regimes, based on which conclusions are formed taking into account the particulars of various business entity categories and special regimes. The article discusses various theories and offers recommendations, which will be interesting and noteworthy for a wide audience with an interest in this topic.

Abstract:
Contemporary business continues to intensify its radical relation to time. The New York Stock Exchange recently announced that in pursuing (as traders call it) the ‘race to zero’ they will begin using laser technology originally developed for military communications to send information about trades nearly at the speed of light. This is just one example of short-term temporal rhythms embedded in the practices of contemporary firms which watch their stock price on an hourly basis, report their earnings quarterly, and dissolve future consequences and costs through discounting procedures. There is reason to believe that these radical conceptions of time and its passing impair the ability of businesses to function in a morally coherent manner. In the spirit of other recent critiques of modern temporality such as David Couzen Hoys The Time of Our Lives, in this paper, I present a critique of the temporality of modern business. In response, I assess the recent attempt to provide an alternative account of temporality using theological concepts by Giorgio Agamben. I argue that Agamben’s more integrative account of messianic time provides a richer ambitemporal account which might provide a viable temporality for a new sustainable economic future.

Abstract:
The article examines the dynamics of interaction between fathers and sons in Giorgio Bassani’s <i>The Garden of the Finzi-Contini</i> in a Lacanian perspective. In doing so, it discusses the often uncritically ascribed label of <i>Bildungsroman</i> as belonging to the novel in question only as an element of parody, which more keenly underscores the tension of the time between the approval of the racial laws (November 1938) and the eve of WWII (August 1939). It also provides the basis for further discussion on the identity of the narrating subject and his role in the <i>Romanzo di Ferrara</i> as a whole.

Abstract:
The development of correct personal values is of great importance in human life. The mission of the Cadets Military Lyceum named after General Giorgi Kvinitadze is to bring up a free-thinking person with national and democratic values. The Lyceum aims to give the cadets basic military knowledge and skills, instill love and respect for military service in them, a desire for mastering a military profession, civic consciousness based on liberal-democratic values and respect for cultural values. To achieve these goals along with other activities, well-planned educational excursions and educational programs play a great role. We think that studying the heroic historical past of Georgia and the life and work of heroic ancestors will help the cadets to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens of Georgia.
A personal example gives a lot to a young person, who is formed right in front of us and develops those qualities, which are vitally necessary and represent the basis for the right life decision. In order to achieve this goal we planned and implemented the project with the support of the Lyceum Directorate; “On The Footsteps Of An Undefeated General”, dedicated to the life and work of General Giorgi Mazniashvili.

Rus, Bianca L. "Thought as Revolt in The Old Man and the Wolves." Hypatia 34, no. 1 (2019): 20–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/hypa.12453.
Abstract:
This article explores how Julia Kristeva's construction of a fictional narrative space enables her to examine the conditions that can produce a culture of revolt. Focusing on one of her novels, The Old Man and the Wolves, the article brings together Hannah Arendt's political philosophy (which provides a framework for Kristeva's depiction of totalitarianism) with Duns Scotus's principle of individuation and Giorgio Agamben's notion of quodlibet (“whatever singularity”) to argue that the future of a culture of revolt is closely connected to the role of women. By aligning feminine thought to political revolt, I demonstrate that Kristeva's revalorization of feminine experiences in the novel constitutes the basis of an ethics that includes the recognition of “whatever” forms of life that have been historically neglected.

Lampropoulou, Ourania. "Le Rébétiko du Pirée : implications du Makam dans la période de l’entre-deux-guerres." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021PA080095.
Abstract:
Ce travail propose d’identifier et d’analyser les principales caractéristiques musicales du style Piréotiko du Rébétiko, un genre musical populaire grec de l’entre-deux-guerres. La première partie montre comment ce style émerge et se diffuse dans les conditions historiques particulières qui suivirent l’arrivée massive de réfugiés en provenance d’Asie Mineure. Elle décrit la situation sociale et politique de l’époque en Grèce, et au Pirée en particulier. Elle synthétise les informations disponibles sur les lieux de performance, ainsi que sur les modalités d’enregistrement et de commercialisation de cette musique. La seconde partie consiste en une analyse musicologique systématique d’un corpus de cent-deux enregistrements. Ceux-ci constituent l’intégralité des enregistrements de la « Tétrade du Pirée » (Giorgos Batis, Markos Vamvakaris, Anestis Delias et Stratos Payoumtzis) pour la période 1932-1937. L’analyse porte sur quatre aspects : les contenus sémantiques des chansons, les schémas métriques et rythmiques, les parcours mélodiques et les procédés d’harmonisation. Le système mélodique et harmonique fait l’objet d’une description plus détaillée. Il s’agit de comprendre comment des pratiques héritées de la modalité (en particulier du système du Makam) s’articulent avec le tempérament égal dans la création d’un nouveau genre musical populaire. Notre analyse met en œuvre une méthode hybride qui croise les concepts musicologiques grecs, ottomans et occidentaux. La thèse montre notamment que durant la période étudiée, le style Piréotiko reste enraciné dans une pensée modale, même s’il est possible d’y déceler les premiers éléments d’une organisation tonale qui deviendra effective ultérieurement. Cette recherche s’adresse aux musicologues classiques et aux ethnomusicologues, mais également aux musiciens et enseignants à la recherche d’outils conceptuels pour comprendre et transmettre les principes structurants du RébétikoThis work aspires to identify and analyze the main musical characteristics of the Piraeus style of Rebetiko, a popular Greek musical genre during the interwar period. The first part shows how this style emerges and is diffused in the particular historical conditions, which followed the massive arrival of refugees from Asia Minor. Initially, the current social and political situation in Greece, and in Piraeus in particular, is outlined. Follows a summary of the available information on the performance venues, as well as on the recording and marketing procedures for this music. The second part consists of a systematic musicological analysis of a one hundred and two recordings’ corpus. These constitute the yield of the entire recording work of the "Tetras of Piraeus'' (Giorgos Batis, Markos Vamvakaris, Anestis Delias, and Stratos Payoumtzis) for the period 1932-1937. The analysis focuses on four aspects: the semantic contents of the songs, the metric and rhythmic patterns, the melodic paths, and the harmonization processes. The melodic and harmonic systems are described in more detail, since the main research question is understanding how practices inherited from modality (especially the Makam system) fit together with equal temperament towards the creation of a new popular musical genre. Our analysis implements a hybrid method that matches Greek, Ottoman, and Western musicological concepts. The thesis stresses that during the aforementioned period, even thought the style of Piraeus remains rooted in modal thinking, it is possible to detect there the first elements of a tonal organization that will subsequently come into effect within this style. This research is addressed to classical musicologists and ethnomusicologists, but also to musicians and teachers looking for conceptual tools to understand and transmit the structuring principles of Rebetiko

Terry-Fritsch, Allie. Somaesthetic Experience and the Viewer in Medicean Florence. NL Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463722216.
Abstract:
Viewers in the Middle Ages and Renaissance were encouraged to forge connections between their physical and affective states when they experienced works of art. They believed that their bodies served a critical function in coming to know and make sense of the world around them, and intimately engaged themselves with works of art and architecture on a daily basis. This book examines how viewers in Medicean Florence were self-consciously cultivated to enhance their sensory appreciation of works of art and creatively self-fashion through somaesthetics. Mobilized as a technology for the production of knowledge with and through their bodies, viewers contributed to the essential meaning of Renaissance art and, in the process, bound themselves to others. By investigating the framework and practice of somaesthetic experience of works by Benozzo Gozzoli, Donatello, Benedetto Buglioni, Giorgio Vasari, and others in fifteenth- and sixteenth century Florence, the book approaches the viewer as a powerful tool that was used by patrons to shape identity and power in the Renaissance.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that some of the more radical developments in theatre dance initiated by Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, and others in the 1960s and 1970s were supported by problematically dualistic ways of speaking and writing about “the body.” By valuing the rational “mind” over the supposedly irrational “body,” the normative hierarchy was inverted. The chapter discusses the way in which this concern with “the body” in minimalist performances by Yvonne Rainer became political in the context of protests against the Vietnam War. The new sensitivity to corporeality that emerged from minimalism then formed the basis for Hay’s Circle Dances and Paxton’s Magnesium. Drawing on Boltanski and Chiapello’s discussion of the political critique of the 1960s and 1970s counterculture, and Jean-Luc Nancy and Giorgio Agamben’s discussion of community, the chapter analyses the politics underlying the way that these dance practices involved talking and writing about “the body.”

Meyer, Eric Daryl. Inner Animalities. Fordham University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5422/fordham/9780823280148.001.0001.
Abstract:
Inner Animalities analyses the human-animal distinction as a discursive theme running ubiquitously through Christian theological anthropology. Arguing that historically pervasive disavowals of human animality create ineradicable contradictions within accounts of human life and also install an anti-ecological impulse at the heart of Christian theology, this project constructively imagines a theological anthropology centered upon human commonality with fellow creatures. This constructive work perceives divine grace at work in human instincts, desires, and enmeshment in quotidian relations (rather than in rationality, language, and transcendence). The broadest arc of the book’s argument is that only a thickly articulated self-understanding rooted in creaturely commonality can provide an adequate basis for responding to ongoing ecological degradation. The conjunction of Critical Animal Studies with constructive theology in this study, then, aims to generate a new approach to ecological theology. The book’s analysis places ancient Christians such as Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory of Nazianzus along with contemporary theologians such as Karl Rahner and Wolfhart Pannenberg in critical conversation with theorists of human-animal relations from Jacques Derrida and Kelly Oliver to Valerie Plumwood and Giorgio Agamben.

Abstract:
The contribution offers an initial reconstruction of the relationship between the University of Florence and the Florentine Catholic Church from 1924 to the present. There is no academic bibliography on the subject, so the reconstruction, although necessarily synthetic here, has been carried out on the basis of printed and archival sources. Attention is paid, in particular, to the University's relations with the diocesan authorities and (through some of its professors) with some circles of post-conciliar Florentine Catholicism, opened to ecclesial renewal. These include, in particular, the milieus referring to the figures of Giorgio La Pira and Ernesto Balducci, and the Isolotto Base Community (to which a specific in-depth study has been dedicated).

Abstract:
This chapter examines questions of a possible humanity and divinity beyond their historical-theological signatures, turning first to the construction of a political-theological order meant to ceaselessly unite as an economy that which is forever kept separate: the Kingdom and the Government. The historical attempts to conceal and yet maintain such a tension is instructive in that the order (ordo) it articulates is one that defines the role of rationality itself. It is from this place that we begin to see how philosophical and theological models of reasoning have neglected the economic ones. The entire dualistic representational fabric of politics and theology, as much as of language, is given its particular raison d’être through such political-theological configurations of economy which hinge upon an exclusionary inclusion (or inclusionary exclusion) that depends upon its sacrificial machinery—the very basis for the entire Homo Sacer project that Agamben has undertaken. As such, taking a look at his genealogy of western notions of economy is essential for comprehending the larger role it plays in particular instances of glory, but also in the construction of the human being and its society in relation to both God and the world of animals.

Dickinson, Colby. "On Aristotle, Actuality And Potentiality." In Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer Series, 66–94. Edinburgh University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474486699.003.0003.
Abstract:
Agamben’s critique of the Aristotelian categories that have dominated western metaphysics and theology have led him to interrogate the use of dualisms in western thought on the whole insofar as they are used to legitimate traditional political and ethical relations. The dualism of potentiality/actuality is referred to repeatedly in the Homo Sacer series, including as the metaphysical basis for the foundations of power—constituted and constituting, governance and sovereignty. One’s power, one’s true sovereignty, comes not from acting, or performing the appearance of having to act, but from refraining from action, from the weakness or impotency ‘that turns back on itself’ and becomes a ‘pure act’ in another sense altogether from that which defines traditional forms of sovereign and divine power. As a form of resistance, this alternative power is captured in the figures of Bartleby the Scrivener and of Christ—figures Agamben pursues in-depth. This is precisely where we can locate the other form of sovereignty accessed through contemplation as the ‘use-of-oneself’ that is also a ‘zone of non-consciousness’, allowing for contemplation to be defined as a habit that occupies the form-of-life.

Abstract:
Les livres à figures vénitiens de la fin du XVe siècle et du commencement du XVIe (1907-1914), whose author is Victor Masséna, Prince of Essling, is a census of all illustrated books printed in Venice from 1469 to 1525. The bibliographical descriptions are chronologically organised, on the basis of a ‘genealogical’ approach, suitable for studying the iconographical and stylistic evolution of illustration. Almost all copies of Essling’s Venetian collection are now part of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini library. We conceived a digital tool based on the LOD technology that allows easy navigation among the data, connected with the national and international catalogues, and accompanied by facsimiles of the Cini copies.

Abstract:
This chapter illuminates Agamben’s understanding of time, which is central to his ‘messianic’ approach to politics, by tracing the semantic history of the term aion (which gives rise to the modern ‘eternity’). Heron shows that aion initially referred to an immanent life force before gradually shifted in meaning to denote an unending duration associated with a transcendent and unchanging being. This latter understanding of eternity became central to the Church, which justified its existence on the basis that the messianic event was delayed (a vision that was secularised by the modern state). The link that Agamben draws between eternal life and the ‘coming politics’ in the final pages of The Kingdom and Glory is an attempt to undermine this institutionalise the messianic event and restore the idea of eternity for use in the present.

Abstract:
Abstract In this essay, the continuous references between the visual language of art photography and that of the written wor(l)d underline the relevance of ‘playing with philosophy’ on the basis of the organizational knowledge acquired through study. Through the photograph Homage to Giorgio de Chirico the chapter depicts the resonances between Italian metaphysical art, the aesthetic approach to the study of organizational experience, and phenomenological and aesthetic philosophy. At the core are the themes of the liberation from anthropomorphism, the aesthetic quality of organizational materiality, and the return to study of philosophical theories and great masters. The chapter illustrates and discusses how playing with the plurality of languages, both from a semantic and from a poetic point of view, has great relevance for aesthetic research on organizational experience, because the aesthetic quality of the discourse on organizing is enriched by the evocative process of knowledge.

Abstract:
Fundamental to existentialist inquiry is the challenge of devising a meaningful politics based on the philosophical analysis of specific experiences. While Giorgio Agamben wavers in the face of this challenge, Frantz Fanon does not, and the reason for this stems from how ‘the other’ and ‘othering’ configures each thinker’s views on being and praxis. In this chapter, I trace Agamben’s existentialist treatment of being and praxis across the Homo Sacer series, highlighting the import of the realm of non-relation and stressing its provenance as a fascistic ontology. From there, I examine similar themes in Fanon’s work, which involves an assessment of his existentialist proclivities to arrive at a notion of radical relationality. I conclude that, while Fanon defies the Manichaean fracture that separates the human from humanity, Agamben internalises it as a transcendental yet individuated phenomenon as the basis of his anti-humanist politics. As I uncover the limits of the type of politics that emanates from a recuperation of non-relationality, I explain why anyone interested in applying Agamben’s politics to decoloniality may consider treading carefully.

Abstract:
The analysis of indigenous societies can raise important considerations about Western thought. For this, we seek conceptual equipment that derives from a multidisciplinary basis in the field of humanities that covers areas such as Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, History, and Philosophy. Thus, the Selk'nam was observed through ethnographic accounts—since they are an extinct society. The objective of this work is the description of indigenous society and the purpose of the research is to advance political theory, especially in issues related to identity, belonging, and status. Thus, an observation was made through four layers: the described society, the political organization, the belief systems, and the concepts related to status and violence. For this, we used the methodology of the rooted theorization of Anne Laperriére and the phenomenological proposal of Amadeo Giorgi. The theoretical framework for the study of violence included the contributions of Hannah Arendt, Pierre Clastres, and Maria Stela Grossi Porto. In turn, the status structure was analyzed by Marcel Mauss and, predominantly, Max Weber.

Abstract:
Abstract In a paper published in 1975, Giorgio Tonelli raised the question of the relation between conditions in Königsberg and the making of Kant’s philosophy. Given the prestige of a local tradition of Aristotelian studies, Tonelli proposed that the long survival of Aristotelianism at the Alma Albertina (or Albertus-Universitat, Königsberg) explains ‘Kant’s familiarity with Aristotelian terminology at a time when it was almost completely obsolete, and for its partial revival in the Critique of Pure Reason’ .1 This paper follows Tonelli in highlighting the importance of institutional history for understanding Kant as a philosopher rooted in his university, especially when he is treating academic issues. The paper will present new evid-ence originating in the Albertina to support a re-interpretation of the Streit der Fakultäten2 as a treatise reflecting a stage in which Kant was active as a professor, a dean, and a rector. On the basis of documents scarcely known to Kant scholars, the paper argues that since the time of Karl Rosenkranz the Streit has been generally misinterpreted as presenting a theory of the university.3 In fact, though it does indeed offer a general interpretation of the nature of intellectual conflicts, its focus is the specific setting of Konigsberg, one of the four Prussian universities at the end of the eighteenth century.
