The Use of Event: Transformation of the Idea of History in Michel Foucault (1966-1971) 

Abstract: Between 1966 and 1971 Michel Foucault’s philosophy moves from the paradigm of archaeology, present in his well-known work as Les mots et les choses and L’archéologie du savoir, to that of genealogy, influenced by authors like Nietzsche and Deleuze. The problem of historical knowledge stands at the center of this transformation. This essay tries to account this shift in Foucault’s philosophy from the point of view of the event: from … Continua a leggere

History, Science, and Materialism: Rethinking Franz Borkenau 

Abstract: This article offers a self-reflexive exploration of materialist critique, building upon the groundwork laid by Franz Borkenau in the realms of scientific innovation, technological evolution, and the corresponding formation of worldviews. Drawing from the theoretical frameworks of Marx and Borkenau, this study examines how specific worldviews emerge through the modification of daily experiences mediated by technology. Central to this investigation … Continua a leggere

Ecology and Metabolism:The Metabolic Rift from Eco-Marxism to Marx 

Abstract: In this essay, I will focus on some essential assumptions of the so-called metabolic rift theory, which sought to understand the Marxian concept of Stoffwechsel from an ecological perspective. In the first part, I will focus on the genesis of this Marxist current of ecology, dwelling in particular on the issue of Marx’s alleged productivism. Subsequently, I will shed some light on the Marxian notion of metabolism, attempting (a) to situate the concept within the … Continua a leggere

All’interno degli studi gramsciani e in particolare nelle più recenti ricerche si possono riconoscere due tendenze: la prima, riconducibile soprattutto all’ambito di ricerca italiano, si è proposta di storicizzare la riflessione meridionalistica di Gramsci e di ridefinirla nel contesto della prima metà del Novecento attraverso lo studio delle fonti, dei confronti intellettuali, della direzione politica del Pcd’I e degli stretti legami con gli esiti più avanzati della produzione carceraria; la seconda, facente capo al … Continua a leggere

The Southern Question in Gramsci’s writings from the Turin and ordinovist periods 

Abstract: This essay aims to demonstrate the relevance of the “Southern Question” from Gramsci’s early theory and politics onwards. Since his high school education in Sardinia, Gramsci was faced with the underdevelopment of his native region, which he believed could be overcome via political independence and autonomy. Yet, he soon realized the nation-wide dimension of this issue, rooted in the thousand-year old political division of the country, and in … Continua a leggere

Gramsci’s Southern Question from the economic-corporative to the ethical-politic 

Abstract: This essay analyzes Antonio Gramsci’s evolving perspective on the Southern Question from 1911 to 1926, the period of his arrest. It specifically scrutinizes both his writings and the various political developments that transformed Gramsci from a socialist activist into the foremost political leader of the Communist Party of Italy and a prominent figure within the Communist International. The main objective of this study is to shed light on a philosophical and political journey marked by theoretical … Continua a leggere

Abstract: The essay aims to consider some aspects of the Southern question, starting from the situation of emigrants in Northern Italy in the 1950s. This work considers two very important texts (Milano, Corea.

Abstract: The article aims to set up a path of reflection capable of dialectically tightening the concepts of universalism, Orientalism, the Southern question and class conflict, considering the fundamental contribution of Edward W. Said and Ernesto de Martino, two authors who have so far, unjustly, not been juxtaposed.

Abstract: The idea of subaltern groups is one of the most notable Gramscian concepts that has become part of the global historical-political lexicon, and not only that: the work on the Southern Question has been integrated into the broader discourse of the Global South.

The Meridian thought as anti-popular Mediterraneism 

Abstract: About five years after the publication of my book Mediterraneismo. Il pensiero antimeridiano (Meltemi 2017), I still wonder whether it was necessary to publish such a text. This contribution is an attempt to formulate an answer to that question. An answer that, in my opinion, is affirmative. And it is so because not only are the traces of what I had defined in the book as Mediterraneanism of the first kind (of backwardness) still widespread; but … Continua a leggere
