1. L’actualité médiatique autant que les analyses du présent menées par les sciences sociales et environnementales, la philosophie politique ou l’économie – pour ne citer que quelques disciplines – rendent compte d’un usage récurrent et inédit du terme de “crise”. À les en croire, l’époque contemporaine aurait pour trait caractéristique d’être toujours ébranlée par une ou plusieurs crise(s) […]. … Continua a leggere

Is the Covid-19 Pandemic a “Health Crisis”?
Abstract: We will question the uses of the term “crisis” on the occasion of the Covid 19 pandemic.

The aim is to understand how the SHS have deconstructed the qualification of the pandemic as a health crisis in order to propose … Continua a leggere

The Meaning of Emergency Economic Powers in Eric Posner and Adrian Vermeule’s Theory: Temporality of Law and End of History
Abstract: This paper aims to question the transformation of the legal concept of crisis, through that of emergency powers, notably linked with their extension to new fields of application, in particular, to economy. To do so, it proposes to expose the analysis of two American jurists, Eric A. Posner and Adrian … Continua a leggere

Two Bad Halves Don‘t Make a Whole. On the Crisis of Democracy
Abstract: This article argues that democracy is currently in a fundamental crisis, disintegrating into two halves that are both truncated and no longer able to form a whole. The first half is that of nationalist-majoritarian populism (in both right and left wing variants), which seeks to regain control of national finances as well as borders through nationalist policies. In this populist halving, … Continua a leggere

Authority in Crisis: A Confrontation between Alexandre Kojève and Hannah Arendt
Abstract: Although at first glance the profiles of Hannah Arendt and Alexandre Kojève could not be more different from each other, the respective interests of the two philosophers converged around the same time on the notion of authority. In this article I aim to conduct a comparison between the two, emphasizing that their reflections find their starting point in a condition of the crisis of … Continua a leggere

Gramsci: Reflections on Hegemony in Crisis
Abstract: This article seeks to explore Antonio Gramsci’s analysis of history, developed in the 20th century between both World Wars, a period of critical importance and change, much like the one we are ourselves living through. This article chooses to interrogate the notion of modernity through that of crisis, the apparent highlight of modernity’s failures. Hegemony, a central concept in the historical philosophy developed by Gramsci, is indissociable from the notion of crisis. This article argues that Gramsci’s work holds both theoretical and … Continua a leggere

Social Criticism and Ecological Crisis
Abstract: In contrast to North American eco-Marxism, whose tendency is to go back to Marx, bypassing Critical Theory and minimising its contribution, we attempt here to defend the idea that theoretical and critical resources for confronting the ecological crisis do exist in the Frankfurt tradition and that they reside in the set of means with which it has equipped itself in order to elaborate in an original way … Continua a leggere

Crisis, Time Discordance and Stratum
Abstract: The analysis of the notion of crisis leads to an alternative: to recognize it as an unsurpassable characteristic reality of modern temporality or, on the contrary, to see it only as a moment of continuous temporality. From the works of historians, the notions of time discordance and rupture will be analyzed as symptoms of a discontinuous modern temporality, making the crisis a fundamental and unsurpassable characteristic. In this theoretical framework, the notion of stratum will appear as the outcome capable of accounting … Continua a leggere

A Game of Mirrors: The ‘Ghost’ of Crisis in Niklas Luhmann’s Social Systems Theory
Abstract: The article reconstructs the articulations that the concept of crisis (not) assumes within Niklas Luhmann’s Social systems theory. What is investigated is precisely the absence of a configuration of the phenomenon of crisis within the theory, which is the result of the general approach that Luhmann chooses to give it. In the first paragraph there is an analysis of the Social systems … Continua a leggere

Metaphysical Nostalgia: the Crisis of the Sciences in the Postmodern Era
Abstract: By crisis of sciences we mean, on the one hand, the epistemological crisis faced after the aporias of logical neo-positivism and the crisis of foundations that invests hard sciences; on the other, the questioning of their role concerning the social contract. These two aspects intertwine and feed each other, and both are objects of the so-called ‘postmodern’ critique. In this essay we will try to describe and analyze the profound dismay … Continua a leggere

The Legal Nature of the Thing according to the Young Marx. Casualty, Necessity and Freedom in the Articles of 1842-184
Abstract: The concept of the nature of things is at the heart of the young Marx’s philosophy of law. In his articles of 1842-1843, the expression juristische Natur der Sache alludes to an ontological and rational structure of law from which the legislator cannot deviate. The law will concretely be a universal and rational form when it … Continua a leggere

The social relationship «presenting itself in a thing». Law of value, fetish-character and the method of the Critique of political economy: an interpretation of the first chapter of Capital
Abstract: The first chapter of Marx’s Capital revolves around the connection between the criticism of commodity fetishism (arising from the non-illusory fetish-character of commodities and money) and the theory of its value. The latter seeks to explain the very commodity-form of the product of labour; the former, its distorted, naturalized and abstract manifestation at the cognitive ‘surface’ of modern market … Continua a leggere
1. Lo scorso anno è caduto il centesimo anniversario di Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse, il testo pubblicato da Freud nel 1921 sulla psicologia collettiva e la cui composizione s’intreccia profondamente con la stesura di Al di là del principio di piacere, apparso qualche mese prima nel 1920. La nostra rivista dedica il suo numero 11, nella sezione monografica, al tema di questa ricorrenza, avendovi visto una occasione da non perdere per tornare a riflettere sulla questione del rapporto tra psicoanalisi e storia e su quella, ad essa intrinseca, della relazione tra psicologia … Continua a leggere
Università della Calabria (marco.gatto@unical.it)
Abstract: Re-reading Freud masterwork on Mass Psychology, the article explores the transformations of some analytical categories as “mass”, “individual”, “fetish object”, with an emphasis to the contemporary Italian context and, more generally, to the turning point of late capitalism. Fetishism is seen in relation to the Aestheticization of daily life and to the process of transitional agglomeration around a temporary ideological target.
Keywords: Freud; Adorno; Fetishism; Capitalism; Aestheticization.

Università degli Studi Roma Tre (roberto.finelli@uniroma3.it)
Abstract: The essay intends to critically examine the difficulties of the passage in Freudian thought from individual psychology to collective psychology. The basic thesis is that in the thought of the Viennese master there is too easy a projection of the first on the second. The thesis of the primitive horde and the dominant male configures, according to the author, a birth of the history and primitive socialization of human beings established on physical force alone. In this way, and in a paradoxical way for Freud’s own humanism, a magical-symbolic-cultural … Continua a leggere

Abstract: This article scrutinizes Sigmund Freud’s Why War? (1933) by taking it as the focal point to explore the Freudian conception of violence. According to Freud, violence is intrinsically connected with the constitution of right. What is at stake in Freud’s reflections is this very specific dynamic relation of violence and right, being equally important in his dispute with Albert Einstein. The debate between Freud and Einstein is problematized by confronting it with the legal philosophy of Hans Kelsen. Special attention is given to Kelsen’s critical review of … Continua a leggere

Abstract: This articles attempts to show how the discovery of the “death drive” is central to understand the Freudian conception of the human condition: to this drive can be attributed the source of destruction that threatens coexistence – when it goes outward – , as much as the possibility of it and a kind of pathological suffering – when it goes inward as a moral conscience. This will guide Freud not only towards a new understanding of trauma, but also towards a novel reinterpretation of social life. In his late work Freud … Continua a leggere

Abstract: This article provides an overview of Adorno’s adoption of Freudian group psychology in “Freudian Theory and the Pattern of Fascist Propaganda” and other works – and the application of its tenets to fascism and fascist propaganda. Adorno conceives of the latter as the artificial, instrumental activation of collective psychology for political purposes. Fascist leaders employ rhetorical techniques that are devoid of programmatic content, but that are modeled after Freudian psychology. Adorno also revisits Freudian psychology: he sticks to its central theoretical tenets but applies them to fascism against the backdrop of a … Continua a leggere
