Translation and Interpretation

Il saggio considera alcune prospettive che pongono la traduzione al centro del tema ermeneutico dell’interpretazione e della comprensione dell’alterità. L’ermeneutica moderna ha avuto il merito di riconoscere nella traduzione una situazione paradigmatica di incontro tra lingue, tra soggetti e tra culture, un incontro in cui ciò che è in questione è il trattamento della differenza e della distanza. L’ermeneutica post-romantica ha cioè mostrato che la traduzione è una forma di interpretazione a valore conoscitivo, perché è nella traduzione che si pone il problema interpretativo di conoscere l’opera e il senso dell’altro a partire dalla sua distanza simbolica

FRAMMENTI DELLA MIA STORIA LINGUISTICA

L’articolo, scritto in prima persona, ricostruisce alcune fasi e alcuni aspetti della storia linguistica dell’autrice, al fine di chiarire in che modo la formazione della competenza linguistica e del rapporto emotivo ed affettivo con la lingua abbia influito sulla sua postura e sul suo stile comunicativo come docente universitaria. Temi affrontati sono il rapporto italiano-dialetto, il rapporto privilegiato dell’autrice con la parola scritta rispetto all’orale e la formazione filosofica universitaria. L’autrice intende mostrare che è stata la maturazione di un rapporto consapevole con la lingua che l’ha portata all’elaborazione di quelle che chiama “quasi-regole” per fare lezione.   Fragments of my linguistic history This article, written in the first person, reconstructs some phases and some aspects of the author’s linguistic history, in order to clarify how the formation of linguistic competence and the emotional and affective relationship with language has influenced her posture and communicative style as a university teacher. The author addresses issues such as the Italian-dialect relationship, her privileged relationship with the written word compared to the oral one and her university philosophical training. She intends to show that it was the maturation of a conscious relationship with language that led her to develop what she calls “quasi-rules” for teaching

Dinamiche della bellezza: sguardo e narrazione nel ritratto

Through the commentary on portraits (Lotto, Giorgione, Vermeer, L. Freud, Rembrandt, Tiziano, Bacon…), my contribution will develop two topics. In fact, the portrait calls to reflect both on the reversible dynamics of the gaze (between painter, subject and spectator, between presence and absence) and on the time of the individual as an experience and as a transformative process that tells a story

traduzione come conoscenza e rienunciazione

This article is divided in two parts. It first presents a philosophical conception of translation. From a philosophical standpoint, translation may be considered in a broad sense as a process of symbolic transformation endowed with a cognitive value. Translation establishes multi-level relationships. At the semantic level, translation deals with relationships between meanings; at the epistemological level, it deals with relationships between concepts and theories; at the philosophical and ontological level, it brings into play relationships between subjects and cultures. The second part of the article contrasts a semantic conception of translation as recoding of messages with a conception of translation as a re-enunciation of texts. When translating an essayistic text, attention must be paid not to a simple message, but to the conditions of enunciation, to the reference established by the text, to the speech acts realized in statements, to the co-textual and con-textual circumstances

Past and the Others

This essay refers to anthropological and ethnographic literature concerning the relationship between anthropology and history. Ethnographic and iconographic examples are analyzed in order to highlight problems related to the representations of the past in different cultures

Fulvio Papi lettore di poesia

My paper analyzes Fulvio Papi’s essays on poetry. First of all, I consider his reflecting and theoretical essays concerning the forms of philosophical questioning of poetry as a writing practice. I then examine his 2009 essay on Antonia Pozzi’s poetic production. Papi shows how the poet’s vital experience is transfigured in the compositional and enunciative rules of the text
