The wall as living place

Hollow structural forms in Louis Kahn's work

By: Francesco Cacciatore

There is ample evidence as to how the modern masters, in their shared pursuit of formal inventions and constructional inventions, variously referred to past examples they had freely chosen as guides that could inspire and support them in their strenuous pursuit of new things. The buildings shaped like soft clouds and gelatinous bowels, or the spiked bravura pieces designed by today's fashionable architects have no relation with either construction or history. Louis Kahn, instead, kept form, structure and history paradigmatically together. The book systematically reviews the intense structural experimentation that, in terms not just of building engineering but of spatial and representational potential, marked Kahn's work since the beginning and would eventually lead him, after a long apprenticeship, to an almost constant adoption of 'hollow' structural forms. By reviewing this long and intense journey of research, the book underlines how Louis Kahn, in each work and based on a constant dialogue between structural innovation, building tradition and figural evocation, succeeded in awakening our interest in a new 'fascinating' structure and at the same time our emotion for a deeply meaningful, universal and timeless form.

The Antiquity of the Italian Nation

The Cultural Origins of a Political Myth in Modern Italy, 1796-1943

By: Antonino De Francesco

With Italy under Napoleonic rule at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the antiquarian topic of anti-romanism became a pillar of the Italian nation-building process and, in turn, was used against the dominant French culture. The history of the Italian nation predating the Roman Empire supported the idea of an Italian cultural primacy and proved crucial in the creation of modern Italian nationalism. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Italian studies of Roman history would drape a dark veil over the earliest history of Italy while Fascism openly claimed the legacy of the Roman Empire. Italic antiquity would, however, remain alive through all those years, intersecting with the political and cultural life of modern Italy. In this book, De Francesco examines the different uses of the constantly reasserted antiquity of the Italian nation in history, archaeology, palaeoethnology, and anthropology from the Napoleonic period to the collapse of Fascism.

Machiavellian Ontology

Political Conflict and Philosophy

By: Francesco Marchesi

Studies the philosophical implications of contemporary theories of conflict and proposes a new political ontology Sets out a description of the most influential theories of political conflict (Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, Ernesto Laclau), as well as a critique of them from a Machiavellian point of view Provides a new interpretation of Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought as a political ontology Situates the argument in the recent debates about Italian Theory (Roberto Esposito, Antonio Negri, Giorgio Agamben) and political ontology (Oliver Marchart, Miguel Vatter, Yannis Stavrakakis, Chantal Mouffe, Ernesto Laclau) Offers a new theory of productive political conflict, which provides an innovative interpretation of the role of Machiavelli’s thought in opposition to the most influential contemporary political theories and in view of a new account of global political space The twentieth century was the century of the deconstruction of all absolutes: of liberation understood as a critique of every meaningful structure. In this sense, conflict was understood as an instrument of the rupture of every form, institution and community. Niccolò Machiavelli is the first in our tradition to think about the productivity of political conflict – its capacity, on the model of ancient Rome, to construct new orders, institutions and forms of life. Francesco Marchesi offers an original reading of Machiavellian thought as well as a critique of some of the most influential contemporary theories of conflict including Foucault, Schmitt, Arendt, Lacan and Althusser. In doing so, he proposes an innovative, conflictual political ontology that, with Machiavelli, is capable of conceiving the affirmative, and not only deconstructive, power of conflict.
