Purity is the End of Thought and the End of Philosophy.” Interview with Leela Gandhi
Leela Gandhi is internationally acknowledged as one of the foremost critical voices in contemporary postcolonial thought. In this conversation, Gandhi retraces her intellectual journey – from her formative years at the University of Delhi and the University of Oxford, to her sustained engagement with postcolonial theory, the ethics of nonviolence as a shared universal inheritance, and the significance of affect in philosophical inquiry and politi…
Homes
This article offers a meditation on the idea of home as expressed by four US poets belonging to different historical periods and socio-cultural backgrounds. At first, the poetic compositions I will discuss may startle readers in ways similar to what happened to Ludwig van Beethoven’s contemporaries as they first listened to his experimental and defamiliarizing late quartets. Emily Dickinson, Jennifer Elise Foerster, Richard Wright, and Agha Shahi…
Geomorphology of the Liera catchment (Dolomites, NE Italy)
Geomorphological field surveys and mapping have been carried out in a catchment of the Dolomites (eastern Italian Alps) as part of a research project aiming at the assessment of sediment availability for mass wasting in mountain environments. The study area is the Liera catchment which was severely affected by a high-intensity, regional-scale storm named ‘Vaia’ (27–30 October 2018), which induced relevant morphological changes, caused a major flo…
To Staunchly “Remain a Reader” and build up a World Comradeship
What is a classic? To what extent are books and book collections endangered goods? What is the role and meaning of literature and translation in times of hardship? In An Unnecessary Woman (2013), Rabih Alameddine addresses these questions, while also indirectly contesting traditional canonical practices based on rigid hierarchies and the logic of national and linguistic purity. Alameddine highlights the violence inscribed in the practices of book…
Immobilité silencieuse
En 2005, l’exposition d’arts visuels In/visible: Contemporary Art by Arab American Artists, qui se tint à l’Arab American Museum de Dearborn (Michigan), donna à voir une sélection d’œuvres réalisées par des artistes américains d’origine arabe. Comme l’écrit la curatrice Salwa Mikdadi dans le catalogue d’exposition : « Presque un siècle s’est écoulé depuis que Gibran, le poète, philosophe et artiste américain d’origine arabe a décrit la fonction d…
Exposure to landslides in rural areas in Central Italy
Starting on 24th August 2016, Central Italy was struck by a six-month earthquake sequence that caused 303 victims and extensive major damages to urban areas and infrastructures, in some cases entire villages needed complete rebuilding. In this paper we present a map that portrays the overall susceptibility to multiple landslide types and the exposure to landslides of the rural-urban areas of the Castelsantangelo sul Nera Municipality, a typical v…
A Dark, Inner Life and a Society in Crisis
Situating close readings of Nina Bouraoui’s latest novel Standard (2014) within the context of a critique of neoliberalism and of the ongoing geopolitical uprisings in the Arab world, this essay presents the novel as a fine literary and affective exploration of personal concerns relating to sex, gender, and desire as well as a sociohistorical chronicle detailing how representations of personal and intimate relations may illuminate wider social il…
Ghosts, Guests, Hosts
This article examines and compares narratives of migration developed by contemporary Arab diasporic writers living in North America (both in the United States and Quebec) and in Europe (France and Italy). These writers, I argue, chronicle the painful and often banished from view experience of contemporary “illegal” migrants, anchoring the singular fictional or autobiographical story to the “real” world of migration and to the larger sociopolitica…
Les cônes de déjection torrentiels dans les Alpes françaises. Morphométrie et processus de transport solide torrentiel
L'article présente quelques aspects de la morphométrie des cônes de déjection dans différentes zones des Alpes françaises. Les relations entre, d'une part, la superficie et la pente des cônes de déjection et d'autre part, les caractéristiques morphométriques des bassins versants (superficie et dénivelée spécifique) ou la typologie des processus torrentiels (transport solide par charriage, laves torrentielles) ont été analysées. La superficie des …
