Vico, Hegel and a New Historicism Hegelians on the Slopes of Vesuvius: A Transnational Study in the Intellectual History of Naples, 1799-1861 Alessandro De Arcangelis, University College London Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University College London, April 2018 I, Alessandro De Arcangelis, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who supported me in this challenging and exciting journey and contributed, in many ways, to its development and completion. Working with my main supervisor, Prof. Axel Körner, has been a terrific experience and I am deeply grateful for his undefeated enthusiasm, impeccable support, steady encouragement and, above all, for offering me so many opportunities to grow as a researcher. My second supervisor, Prof. Avi Lifschitz, has always been a dedicated mentor, whose point of view has been helping me improve my way of engaging with intellectual history since the very first day of my MA degree in 2013. I genuinely hope that the future may hold many more opportunities for me to work with them. A special mention goes to Dr. Fernanda Gallo: our common passion for Neapolitan Hegelianism has introduced us to a priceless friendship and enabled us to work together on several projects during the last year. Dr. Maurizio Isabella provided me with useful comments that greatly helped my argument to come into focus, as did Prof. Gareth Stedman Jones in 2015 and 2017. I also want to thank Dr. Angus Gowland for his kind, friendly and congenial help in moving forward in my career. My most sincere thanks also go to Melissa Benson, Alys Beverton, Misha Ewen, Matt Griffin, Gareth Hallett Davis, Johannes Hartmann, Shane Horwell, Shiru Lim, Giorgio Lizzul, Maria Christina Marchi, George Newth, Mark Power Smith, Grace Redhead, Harry Stopes and David Tiedemann. Their advice and support helped me come to the end of this journey. Antonio D’Alessio and Julian Scholtes’ friendship has been such a huge source of motivation in the last years and words can barely express how thankful I am to them. I am infinitely grateful to my family for the never-ending encouragement. My late grandfather Alessandro Di Lorenzo, who only saw the beginning of this project, taught me to how to challenge myself and believe in my passions. My mother, grandmother, sister, stepfather and stepsister have acted as constant reminder of the beauty that lies in any intellectual endeavour, as well as the responsibilities that come with it. Their moral and emotional support has been unreal. Lastly, my partner has been the most loyal and caring companion throughout this journey. His patience, understanding and advice always helped me remain confident in this thesis’ significance and in my ability to bring out its full potential. 3 4 Making Italy understand Hegel would mean regenerating the country. I, for myself, believe that should you begin, you will witness elements of a new life, which you were not expecting, emerging along the way. - Pasquale Villari, Lettera a Bertrando Spaventa, 1850 If philosophy is not a mere intellectual exercise driven by vanity, but that true form of human life in which all earlier moments of spirit are epitomised and find their true meaning, it is natural to think that a true people may recognise and acquire true consciousness of itself when looking at its philosophers. Where this acknowledgment is missing, foreign importation is useless; this is because consciousness of oneself is not a commodity, which can be bought, shout it be missing; it is consciousness of our true selves, our true selves. - Bertrando Spaventa, Della nazionalità della filosofia, 1861 Vesuvius, are you a ghost, or the symbols of light, or a fantasy host? In your breast, I carry the form, the heart of the Earth and the weapons of warmth. - Sufjan Stevens, Vesuvius, 2010 5 6 Abstract This thesis examines the reception, circulation and revision of Hegel’s thought, most notably his philosophy of history, in Neapolitan intellectual history during the Risorgimento, approached from a transnational perspective. In particular, attention will focus on five inter- related themes: (i) the complex set of intellectual exchanges and encounters enabling the penetration and popularisation of Hegel’s philosophy in Naples; (ii) the ongoing revision, taking place during the early decades of the nineteenth century, of Giambattista Vico’s historicism via debates that ultimately deployed an image of the Neapolitan thinker as a theorist of historical time, on the one hand, and the proponent of an idealist account of it, on the other; (iii) the amalgamation of a Hegelian notion of absolute historical development and Vichian historicism taking place in the southern capital’s private schools of philosophy, enabling historians to view Neapolitan Hegelianism as the result of a broad transnational encounter, yet closely rooted in local contexts and debates; (iv) the ways in which, in response to ongoing experiences of political change, most notably the 1848 Revolution and the emancipation of the Italian peninsula, Neapolitan Hegelianism was systematically deployed in support of – and in opposition to – different strands of Risorgimento political thought: it came to support, in fact, a form of democratic constitutionalism reminiscent of the Jacobin ideas informing the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799, in direct opposition to moderate Piedmontese liberalism; and (v) the shaping of a transnational cosmopolitan sensitivity among Neapolitan Hegelians, ultimately merging the political ambitions connected with the emancipation and unification of Italy with the negotiation of a vantage point for the country in the intellectual and philosophical lives of modern European nations. 7 8 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................. 11 I.

  • E Modelli Di Umanità. Sulle Fonti Italiane Di Herder Di Laura Follesa*
    «Martiri della verità» e modelli di umanità. Sulle fonti italiane di Herder di Laura Follesa* ABSTRACT This contribution is about Herder’s selection and use of Italian literary, philosophical and scientific sources. His later writings (especially the Briefe, and the journal «Adrastea») contain a huge rep- ertory of Italian sources and confirm Herder’s purpose to present authors of the past as ‘models’ for developing a new kind of humanity and to offer, by means of an historical recognition, an in- strument to face the future. _ Contributo ricevuto il 23/06/2020. Sottoposto a double-blind review, accettato il 16/07/2020. 1 _ Vico e l’umanità delle nazioni astronomia non fosse certo irrilevante2.

KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

From ltalophilia to ltalophobia: Representations of Italian Americans in the Early Gilded Age John Paul Russo "Never before or since has American writing been so absorbed with the Italian as it is during the Gilded Age," writes Richard Brodhead. 1 The larger part of this American fascination expressed the desire for high culture and gentility, or what Brodhead calls the "aesthetic-touristic" attitude towards Italy; it resulted in a flood of travelogues, guidebooks, antiquarian stud­ ies, historical novels and poems, peaking at the turn of the centu­ ry and declining sharply after World War I. America's golden age of travel writing lasted from 1880 to 1914, and for many Americans the richest treasure of all was Italy. This essay, however, focuses upon Brodhead's other catego­ ry, the Italian immigrant as "alien-intruder": travel writing's gold­ en age corresponded exactly with the period of greatest Italian immigration to the United States.

Exile and martyrdom, two tools for mass liberal politicisation The aftermath of the 1848 European revolutions saw significant increase in political exiles. The drift back towards authoritarian monarchies, coupled with the new role played by measures to take in political migrants in certain European states (France, Great Britain, and Piedmont), contributed to a massive increase in their number and the generalisation of the practice of exile.

  • Inventive Translation, Portraiture, and Spanish Hapsburg Taste in the Sixteenth Century
    9 © Copyrighted Material Inventive Translation, Portraiture and Spanish Habsburg Taste in the Sixteenth Century Elena Calvillo The Spanish Patron In his autobiography, Benvenuto Cellini recounts how when faced with an angry mob of Spaniards from the household of the bishop of Salamanca, he defiantly pointed his gun into the crowd and cried, ‘You treacherous Moors – so this is how you loot the shops and houses in a city like Rome?’1 According to the artist, the Spaniards had come to collect a vase that had been returned to Cellini to be repaired, but because the patron had not yet paid for it, Cellini declined to release it. The commotion surrounding this exchange soon attracted the attention of a few Roman gentlemen, eager to join the fight. Their offer to help Cellini kill his opponents was made ‘with such vehemence that the Spaniards were terrified out of their wits’ and retreated.2 The Spanish courtiers were subsequently admonished by the bishop, who, Cellini claimed, was angered by both the violence initiated by the brash members of his household and by their failure to finish the job. Cellini’s characterization of the Spanish throughout this part of his text, leading up to the Sack of 1527, is similar to many portrayals of this period.3 For Cellini, such a depiction of the troublesome Spaniards served the rhetorical ends of the autobiography by highlighting his loyalty to Rome and his personal bravery, most spectacularly demonstrated in his account of the defence of the Castel Sant’Angelo against imperial troops. A few themes emerge from Cellini’s anecdote.
