«Cultura e culture. La pluralità dei centri. Una lettura gramsciana del tempo e dei tempi» (Nulla die, 2018), è un mio saggio cui tengo molto poiché è di un’attualità persino imbarazzante. Imbarazzante non per me, ovviamente, ma per coloro che in tempi contemporanei, pensano di poter ridurre a zero la verità di una società che, qualsiasi i divieti e le opposizioni, non può tornare indietro, ma … Continua a leggere Loredana De Vita: Cultura e culture
Out of nowhere the history of time was born, out of nothing the history of man proceeds, in nothing ends the story of whom, deaf and diffident, does not learn to love its small but honest nothing. Dal nulla nasce la storia del tempo, dal nulla procede la storia dell’uomo, nel nulla finisce la storia di chi, sordo e diffidente, non impara ad amare … Continua a leggere The Artist
We should never speak in place of others to replace them, but in their favor to understand them. The empty generalizations serve to strike those who are already weak and cannot defend themselves because they are submerged and unheeded. The total and deliberate propagation of messages that exploit the listener’s unconsciousness or ignorance is a moral crime without measure, as is listening to voices only … Continua a leggere The Useful Words and Those Useless
The process of civilization seems to have become a process referred to apparent well manners without any substantial corpus to keep men far from their own degeneration and consumption. As a matter of facts, many have lost the idea of what a civilization is because they have been confused and have granted for this kind of confusion in order it promoted the idea of a visible … Continua a leggere Civilization
The sea is not a physical division, but the bond between the water and the land, the sky and the deepest profundity of our hidden interior silence. It grasps your breath while supports your courage or it dives your life in the fullness of the oblivion. It amuses your feelings and arouses your emotions while those tears of bitter sufferance are dried by the beauty … Continua a leggere The Sea
People have got used to bring discredit over the others except themselves and, in turn the same will happen to each of them, yet it does not matter to them provided they could enjoy their instant of celebrity. What a nonsense! I feel really discomforted in these situations divided between the love for politeness and the love for the truth. It seems banal, but it … Continua a leggere The Nonsense Parade
«La questione mediterranea» (Mondadori Università, 2019) è un libro che interroga fin dalle sue prime pagine, interroga e propone chiavi di lettura alternative a una condizione, quella del Mediterraneo, vissuta spesso come problema. Gli autori, Iain Chambers e Marta Cariello, studiosi della condizione storica, antropologica e letteraria dell’Occidente post-coloniale, suggeriscono modalità di lettura diverse del Mediterraneo, diverse rispetto alla concezione stereotipata di un’Europa che resta, … Continua a leggere Iain Chambers and Marta Cariello: La questione mediterranea

The more death seems to defeat life the more we have to support life in order not to risk not to grasp the important bond between the two. We try in any way to preserve our own life, but something important is definitely slipping out from our perception of the truth: we should not imagine a life which could be only our own life. The … Continua a leggere Life and Death
Stand up for courage, never let fear absorb your courage in the tentacles of her temptation. Courage is a kind of resistance which, although allowing your fear to exist, teaches you how to dominate the stubborn and uneasy shadows of self-protection in order to acquire the right to be free from fear’s conditioning and subjugation. To be courageous does not mean not to be afraid … Continua a leggere In Praise of Courage
