Petrarch’s Penitential Psalms and Prayers
Towards an Integrative Approach to Amelia Rosselli’s Poetry
The Integrative, Ethical and Aesthetic Pedagogy of Michel Serres
A Pedagogy of the Eternal”
The final third of Paradiso, cantos 23–33, comprises the final three heavens—Fixed Stars, Primum Mobile, Empyrean—and completes Dante's pedagogical program in Paradiso to advance the intellectual, sacred, and mystical wisdom achieved by the auctor-viator by virtue of his divine vision. The “pedagogy of the eternal” (Pazzaglia) of Paradiso depends on Beatrice and St. Bernard, the viator 's two guides in this final interval where the mode of learni…
Il remo di Ulisse
Se non scritto, almen dipinto ”
A central question facing the reader of the Paradiso terrestre (Pg 28–33) concerns the selfhood of the protagonist, the character Dante. While the state of Dante’s soul was critical to the poem’s beginning in the dark wood, and remained implicit through the intervening cantos, it is only in the Paradiso terrestre that it becomes the poem’s central focus. This question is explored in cognitive and theological terms in a sequential reading of the s…
"Amor co la man dextra il lato manco" (Rvf 228) as Allegory of Religious Veneration
“Amor con la man dextra il lato manco” (Rerum vulgarium fragmenta 228) is an allegorical sonnet concerning the history of the protagonist’s love for Laura. It signals a turn toward chaste love and veneration of the laurel tree, in all its multiple significations. The essay explores the tropology engaged by Petrarch in this sonnet to advance his character’s moral and spiritual quest; it examines this microtext in itself, its intertextual connectio…

Contemporary approaches to a pedagogy of process
This essay explores the bases for a process theory of learning applicable across the disciplines in today’s academy. First it traces the modern history of process pedagogy beginning with Kant and leading through Cassirer and Whitehead to an array of contemporary approaches that favor the symbiosis of art and science over the lingering Cartesian dichotomy of “subjective” mental processes and “objective” forms of knowledge. Second, it examines the …
The Edusemiotics of Images. Essays on the Art∼Science of Tarot
Inna Semetsky’s inquiry into the visual paradigms affecting learning focuses on the Tarot, the system of playing cards that originated in early modern Italy and grew to acquire widespread divinator
The Personalistic Pedagogy of Giorgio Agamben
Agamben’s philosophy of education can be arrived at by focusing on the nexus of philology, philosophy and poetry that is prominent in his work. By exploring the functional and semantic reciprocity between these fields, one can identify diverse pedagogies: of language and the poetic voice, of infancy and history, of history redeemed (in the Benjaminian sense), of the cultural image, and of potentiality. These overlapping areas of research share th…
Constructivist Pedagogy and Symbolism
Constructivism is at the heart of a pedagogical philosophy going back to Vico, whose view of the interrelationship of the arts and sciences sought to reconstitute the classical paideia. The Vichian idea that human beings can only know the truth of what they themselves have made has theoretical and practical consequences for Vico's pedagogy and view of the university. Vico's ideas on education are extended in the modern period by such thinkers as …
The Revolt of the Scribe in Modern Italian Literature
The Revolt of the Scribe in Modern Italian Literature offers a perceptive re-assessment of Italian literary culture, focusing on the nature of modernity through the literature of those who revolt against established norms and expectations.
Badiou, Pedagogy and the Arts
The essay distils from Badiou's writing a pedagogy based on his theories of knowledge and truth, as brought to bear on poetry and the arts. By following Badiou's implicit ontology of learning, which presupposes a dynamic and passionate engagement with a concrete situation, the essay argues that Badiou's view of modernity, in particular, contributes greatly to the educational topic, and offers an alternative teaching paradigm to the outmoded schoo…
The Art of Language Teaching as Interdisciplinary Paradigm
One can extrapolate from the art of language instruction to discover methods applicable across the disciplines in higher education. The paradigm presented by language instruction is applicable throughout the arts and sciences. If cultivated—and there are institutional pressures working against it—such an art can impact the languages and codes of the individual disciplines so as to advance the research mission of scholars in those fields; it can a…
Notes on Heidegger's Authoritarian Pedagogy
To examine Heidegger's pedagogy is to be invited into a particular era and cultural reality—starting in Weimar Germany and progressing into the rise and fall of the Third Reich. In his attempt to reform the German university in a strictly hierarchical, authoritarian and nationalistic mold, Heidegger addressed one group of students and professors and not another. The petit‐bourgeois student and the future philosophers he invited with his ‘logic of…
