Fate, Human Character, and Divinatory Perception in Early Modern Metoposcopy
Metoposcopy, the early modern divinatory practice that reads the pattern of lines on a person's forehead for their signification, has been the object of studies primarily focused on the discipline's historical evolution. This article analyzes the complex origins of this practice, its concrete techniques, and its possible legal and medical applications. The essay opens with a reassessment of Girolamo Cardano's Metoposcopia by emphasizing the essen…

Christian Demonology in Contemporary American Popular Culture
This essay investigates the pervasive presence of Christian demonology in contemporary American culture. After discussing the concept of demonic possession according to Catholic and Protestant theology, Maggi explores the crucial role played by the ritual of exorcism in modern popular culture, especially cinema.

In the Company of Demons
The Word's Self-Portrait in Blood
On Kissing and Sighing
This essay investigates the homoerotic connotations present in the so-called treatises on love, a popular philosophical and literary genre of the Italian Renaissance. The referential text of this sixteenth- century genre is Marsilio Ficino's De amore (1484), a deeply innovative interpretation of Plato's Symposium. Focusing on the initial section of Ficino's text, Maggi highlights some important structural differences between the De amore and the …
Uttering the Word. The Mystical Performances of Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi, a Renaissance Visionary
Identita e Impresa Rinascimentale
Performing/Annihilating the Word
The object of this study is a unique case in the history of Western spirituality. I colloqui (The Dialogues), the transcriptions of the mystical monologues of Saint Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi (Florence, 1566-1607), questions the meaning of text and genre, the word's intrinsic performativity, the relationship between authorship and readership/audience, and, finally, the connection between gendered/sexual presence and discourse. Unlike any other mys…
The Discourse of Sodom in a Seventeenth-Century Venetian Text
This essay examines L'Alcibiade fanciullo a scola, a seventeenth-century text written in Venice. L'Alcibiade is a sort of Platonic dialogue between a sodomite teacher and his young and attractive pupil. The teacher tries to convince his student to let him penetrate him. The discourse of the sodomite teacher is similar to Lacan's "discourse of the master." Maggi brings to the fore the intrinsic ambiguities of the sodomite discourse. On the one han…
