Lupo siderale
Nel contesto della fantascienza italiana, il connettivismo, in parte seguendo le suggestioni del cyberpunk, ha cercato di mettere in relazioni suggestioni scientifiche e sperimentazioni letterarie. Nell’articolo-intervista, l’autrice ne rintraccia il percorso cronologico e le principali influenze culturali con uno dei più importanti protagonisti
The lantern of the world rises to mortals by varied paths”
American artist and architect Paul Laffoley (1935–2015) had a life-long fascination with Dante. Not only did he refer to Dante and the Commedia throughout his writings and paintings, but he created a large-scale triptych illustrating the poem, as well as sketched out plans for a full-immersion Dante study center on a planetoid orbiting the Sun, complete with a to-scale replica of the medieval Earth, Mount Purgatory, the material heavens, and the …
The Textual Nonhumans of Italian Humanism
What is it like to be a bat?” the philosopher Thomas Nagel asked in 1974. “How do forests think?” asked anthropologist Eduardo Kohn more recently. As we barely understand the totality of our own selves (much less that of another person), how can we even begin to know what it would be like to be a chair, a coastline, a beetle, a virus? Given the state of the world today, thinking about how we think the nonhuman (and other humans) is urgent. Yet an…

Flying Saucers Would Never Land in Lucca
For the six decades of its life, Italian science fiction has been virtually absent on the shelves of Italian and non-Italian SF readers. One can find translations into English, for example, of SF novels and anthologies written in Romanian, Czech, Chinese, Finnish, Serbian, Ukrainian, but none in Italian. It has been consigned by SF scholars to the "ghetto of the ghetto." Yet, Italy has been producing SF since the 1950s, some of it quite exception…

Ornamental Flourishes in Giordano Bruno's Geometry
What was Giordano Bruno thinking when he unleashed a flurry of hearts, moons, stars, ivy leaves, and flowers into nearly seventy-five geometric diagrams in two of his most mathematical treatises, the Articuli centum et sexaginta adversus huius tempestatis mathematics atque philosophos and De triplici minimo et mensura? Not only is this kind of detailed ornamentation difficult to accomplish on a woodblock; it is most unusual for a printed work of …
