Toward an Anthropology of Screens

Showing and Hiding, Exposing and Protecting

By: Mauro Carbone,Graziano Lingua

This book shows that screens don’t just distribute the visible and the invisible, but have always mediated our body's relationships with the physical and anthropological-cultural environment. By combining a series of historical-genealogical reconstructions going back to prehistoric times with the analysis of present and near-future technologies, the authors show that screens have always incorporated not only the hiding/showing functions but also the protecting/exposing ones, as the Covid-19 pandemic retaught us. The intertwining of these functions allows the authors to criticize the mainstream ideas of images as inseparable from screens, of words as opposed to images, and of what they call “Transparency 2.0” ideology, which currently dominates our socio-political life. Moreover, they show how wearable technologies don’t approximate us to a presumed disappearance of screens but seem to draw a circular pathway back to using our bodies as screens. This raises new relational, ethical, and political questions, which this book helps to illuminate.

The Failure of Italian Nationhood

The Geopolitics of a Troubled Identity

By: M. Graziano

This book explains Italy s endless political instability and its historical, cultural and economic roots. It also illustrates why, even after the creation of the Italian state, Italy was never really unified. Piero Gobetti described fascism once as the "autobiography" of the Italian nation. This book explains why today it is possible to describe "berlusconism" - a cultural, political and social phenomenon in Italy- as the most recent version of this country s autobiography.

Dual-Process Theories of Numerical Cognition

By: Mario Graziano

This book presents a philosophical interpretation to numerical cognition based on dual process theories and heuristics. It shows how investigations in cognitive science can shed light on issues traditionally raised by philosophers of mathematics. The analysis will also help readers to better understand the relationship between current neuroscientific research and the philosophical reflection on mathematics. The author seeks to explain the acquisition of mathematical concepts. To accomplish this, he needs to answer two questions. How can the concepts of approximate numerosity become an object of thought that is so accessible to our consciousness? How are these concepts refined and specified in such a way as to become numbers? Unfortunately, there is currently no model that can truly demonstrate the role of language in the development of numerical skills starting from approximate pre-verbal skills. However, the author details a solution to this problem: dual process theories. It is an approach widely used by theorists focusing on reasoning, decision making, social cognition, and consciousness. Here, he applies this approach to the studies on mathematical knowledge. He details the results brought about by psychological and neuroscientific studies conducted on numerical cognition by key neuroscientists. In the process, he develops the foundations of a new, potential philosophical explanation on mathematical knowledge.

Popoff

By: Graziano Gala

È notte fonda quando alla porta di Cimino, un vecchietto strambo e un po' smemorato, bussa un bambino che nessuno ha mai visto prima e che sembra essersi materializzato dal nulla. Con il viso protetto da una sciarpa, e imbacuccato in vari strati di giubbotti, ha una sola domanda per Cimino: «Mi scusi, signore, ha visto per caso mio padre?» In paese il cibo scarseggia, vecchi rancori mai sopiti sono sempre sul punto di eruttare in tragedia, antiche ingiustizie attendono di essere vendicate e gli abitanti diminuiscono giorno dopo giorno a causa di misteriose lettere di espulsione. Senza un nome e senza una casa, il bambino – ribattezzato Popoff – sa che i genitori sono lì da qualche parte e con l'aiuto dei pochi disposti a dargli una mano è determinato a trovarli. Con la stessa commistione di comico e tragico, realismo e fiaba, lingua letteraria e dialetto che ha fatto di Sangue di Giuda uno degli esordi più apprezzati degli ultimi anni, Graziano Gala racconta con incredibile delicatezza la storia del piccolo Popoff, che in un paesaggio umano vecchio di secoli si innamora delle candele votive, segue una dolce ninna nanna cantata nel cuore della notte dalle casse del supermercato, assiste impotente al terribile spettacolo della crudeltà umana. Senza mai stancarsi di ripetere la stessa, disperata domanda: «Ha visto per caso mio padre?»
