DANCING with the ENEMY Jane S. Sutton* & Nkanyiso Mpofu
FIGURING RECONCILIATION: DANCING WITH THE ENEMY Jane S. Sutton* & Nkanyiso Mpofu** This essay is about fi guring “argument as dance” and one way of conceiving how to live or embody argument as such. Concretely, it displays “argument as war” alongside a road in Mississippi after a white man shoots down James Meredith as he asserts his legal right to vote. And it tells “how to” perceive the shooting as dance by turning fi rstly to the performance of dance fi gured in the beginnings of rhetoric and then secondly, setting forth demystifi ed methods and strategies of body-speech fi guring argument as dance, rather than as war, through performances of Nelson Mandela. More generally, it explores a new meaning or experience of rhetoric by explicitly conjoining two historical times, two geographies, two speakers, enemies and dancers, that are inextricably interconnected. Using a combination of description and analysis, the fi rst is a full display of three photographs picturing argument as war. The whole picture serves as a descriptive compass 2007 CanLIIDocs 14 or guide for making our way analytically through argument as war and into dance language and behavior and their interconnections to argument. The second is a retrospective discussion of the background, dancing/argumentative practices, what is called “blinking on the behalf of the enemy,” of Nelson Mandela. Overall, the strategy of reticulating political times, chronology and political spaces, geography on the one hand, and argument as war and argument as dance on the other hand is to reconcile confl icting measures and to produce a performance practice (of rhetoric) of which there is no canon. -
Deification As a Core Theme in Julius Evola's Esoteric Works
Correspondences 6, no. 2 (2018) 1–27 ISSN: 2053-7158 (Online) correspondencesjournal.com Deification as a Core Theme in Julius Evola’s Esoteric Works Hans Thomas Hakl E-mail: [email protected] Abstract “Deification” or “Becoming God” is used in this article as a central hermeneutical key to understand Julius Evola’s (1898–1974) philosophic and, most importantly, esoteric work. Although the concept of deification can be found in his early work, it naturally developed itself and underwent many transfigurations, for which he employed different forms of symbolic systems. One cornerstone of his intellectual buildings has remained constant, however: the desperate endeavor to transcend the limitations of the human being. To find and teach “practical” paths to reach this goal became the supreme aim in his works. Keywords Julius Evola; deification; magic; Tantrism; salvation; spiritual development © 2018 Hans Thomas Hakl This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. 2 Hakl / Correspondences 6, no. 2 (2018) 1–27 The Early Years Evola’s efforts to overcome the ordinary conditions of life can be detected when he was still a young man. This soon led him to an exploration of transcendental realms not bound by material limits. He remarked in his “spiritual autobi- ography,” written in 1963, that his decisive impulse toward transcendence “manifested itself” in him “from his earliest years.”1 This can also be clearly seen in his artistic period, from 1915 to 1923, when -

The Two Souls of Schopenhauerism: Analysis of New Historiographical Categories
UFSM Voluntas: Revista Internacional de Filosofia DOI: 10.5902/2179378661962 Santa Maria, v.11, n. 3, p. 207-223 ISSN 2179-3786 Fluxo contínuo Submissão: 25/10/2020 Aprovação: 06/01/2021 Publicação: 15/01/2021 The two souls of Schopenhauerism: analysis of new historiographical categories Le due anime dello schopenhauerismo: analisi delle nuove categorie storiografiche Giulia Miglietta* Abstract: The Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerism is a complex mixture of events, encounters, influences and transformations. In order to orient oneself concerning such an articulated phenomenon, it is necessary to have valid hermeneutical tools at hand. In this contribution, I propose a reading of the Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerism through new and effective historiographical categories that resulted from the research conducted by the Interdepartmental Research Centre on Arthur Schopenhauer and his School at the University of Salento. On the one hand, I will refer to Domenico Fazio’s studies on the Schopenhauer-Schule and, on the other, to Fabio Ciracì’s research on the reception of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in Italy. This approach will reveal how the formulation of the so- called “two souls” of Schopenhauerism, the romantic and the illuministic, allows us to unravel the multifaceted panorama of the Wirkungsgeschichte of Schopenhauerian philosophy, in line with the subdivision within the Schopenhauer-Schule of metaphysical and heretical thinkers. Keyword: Schopenhauer; Wirkungsgeschichte; Illuministic soul; Romantic soul; Historiographical categories. -
The Ends of an Empire: Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambiniʼs Il Cavallo Tripoli and Joseph Rothʼs Radetzkymarsch

Instead of leaving it as “neither nor,” viewing it as “both and” can help shape the critical view of the Italian literary landscape, as well as add to the picture of Austro-Hungarian literature. Joseph Roth’s Radetzkymarsch (Radetzky March) and Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambini’s novel Il cavallo Tripoli (The Horse Tripoli) depict the experience of loss brought on by the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in similar ways, although they do so from different linguistic and national sides. However, the writings of the Italian author are generally categorized as representing a pro-Italian perspective and those of the Austrian as pro-Austro-Hungarian. This article argues that their novels provide a more nuanced portrayal of the world and identities than just their nationalities or political views do. Because of assumptions about the authors, the complexity of the novels’ representations of layered linguistic and cultural interactions have often been missed, especially those of Il cavallo Tripoli. -

'Outside Perspective' to the Works of Kosovel by Illustrating And
K.Pizzi, 17/11/07, 12:52 [article published in Kosovelova Poetika/ Kosovel’s Poetics, special issue of Primerjalna knjizevnost 28(2005), pp. 239-249] ‘QUALE TRIESTINITA`?’: VOICES AND ECHOES FROM ITALIAN TRIESTE Abstract: In focusing on Italian Trieste and, in particular, on as large as possible a corpus of Triestine poetry contemporary to S.Kosovel, my paper provides a perspective that is peripheral and ‘outside’. Special attention is paid to the Futurist avant-garde: the Futurist leader Marinetti considered Trieste as Futurist city par excellence and the first Futurist soirees took place at Teatro Rossetti between 1909 and 1910. Futurism attracted a large group of local artists, some of whom (e.g. Carmelich and Cernigoj) were personally known by and became close to Kosovel. The poets Sanzin and Miletti espoused enthusiastically the Futurist linguistic experimentalism, as well as the movement’s national/nationalist tendencies. Poetry of national and romantic inspiration is also of fundamental importance: Slataper’s vitalist approach to the rugged Karst region, though pre-Great War, provides scope for comparative approaches. Nationalist poetry, much of which officially compromised with the Fascist regime (Cambon, Corraj, Alma Sperante), is equally integral to the Triestine cultural landscape of the 1920s and ‘30s. By shedding light on a significant portion of poetry in Italian arising from the vibrant, if largely hostile, cultural environment of Trieste, my paper invites an implicit rather than explicit assessment of Kosovel’s role and contribution to the European avant-garde. 1 K.Pizzi, 17/11/07, 12:52 ‘QUALE TRIESTINITA`?’: VOICES AND ECHOES FROM ITALIAN TRIESTE In re-evaluating as large as possible a corpus of Triestine poetry in Italian, my article intends to court the poetics and production of Šrečko Kosovel. -

Appunti E Frammenti Per Un Ritratto Critico Di Carlo Michelstaedter
Appunti e frammenti per un ritratto critico di Carlo Michelstaedter. di Esther Celiberti Abstract Carlo Michaelstaedter was born in Gorizia in 1887. He studied Literature at the University of Florence. He committed suicide in 1910. His most important work is "La persuasione e la rettorica" ("Persuation and rhetoric"), opera/manifesto of the crisis of the contemporary man, authentical and radical in content and writing. His graphic-pictorial work, on the contrary, has a traditional structure, without any experimentation or research. Only in a few images we can find a link with Expressionism. However, the drawings of the faces, the satire of the intellectuals, the series of the characters are convincing and interesting. The author expresses his sarcastic genius in the caricatures and in self-portraits he reveals his soul to the gaze. 1. Sulla biografia di Michelstaedter. Carlo Michelstaedter nasce a Gorizia nel 1887, in una famiglia ebrea non praticante. Studia presso lo Staatgymnasium della città, ama i classici e traduce. Legge i tragici greci, i presocratici, Platone, il Vangelo, le Upanishad, Petrarca, Leopardi, Tolstoj, Ibsen. Si iscrive alla Facoltà di Matematica a Vienna ma ben presto si trasferisce a Firenze, presso la Facoltà di Lettere. Scrive febbrilmente. La sua tesi di laurea è dedicata ai concetti di persuasione e retorica in Platone ed Aristotele. Si toglie la vita nel 1910. È sepolto nel cimitero di Valdirose, ora in Slovenia, a poca distanza dal confine. “Di confine” era stata anche la sua scrittura, sospesa tra letteratura e filosofia, affine al pensiero poetante dell’amato Leopardi. La sua ricerca batte territori impervi, ostili. -
