Subcultures creating culture
(2016)
The purpose of this work is to apply the methods of textual semiotics to subcultures, in particular to the little known glam subculture. Subcultures have been the main research field of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, known for its interdisciplinary approach, and for its focus on the creative aspects of subculture. Hebdige, in particular, introduced many semiotic elements in his work, as the aberrant decoding after Eco and the cultural creativity via bricolage after Lévi-Strauss. His definition of subculture as symbolic resistance has been criticized by the following post-subcultural researchers for its abstractness and lack of cohesion.
Semiotics eventually have been expelled from the set of tools used in sociology for the analysis of subcultures. Nowadays, the studies on subcultures have a strong ethnographic focus. Due to terminological proliferation and a descriptive approach, it is difficult to compare them on a common basis.
Textual semiotics, through the concept of semiosphere developed by Lotman, allows to go back to the intuitions of Hebdige, organizing the semiotic elements already present in his work into a wider system of interpretation. The semiosphere offers a coherent theoretical horizon as a basis for further analysis, and a new methodological perspective focusing on the cultural. In this thesis for the first time the work of Lotman is applied to the study of a subculture.
In Martial’s epigrams Silius Italicus is portrayed as a man of learning, author of the Punica and admirer of Vergil’s works, but also as a public figure and a former consul of Rome. My paper focuses on the epigrams devoted to the ‘political’ Silius, and suggests to relate them mainly to a certain stage in Silius Italicus’ life and to a specific communication strategy.
This article analyses a narrative pattern in Tacitus’ Agricola dealing with the crossing of natural boundaries. First it discusses imaginary geography and the connections between the bounds of nature and the psychology of Agricola and his soldiers. It then turns to a discus- sion of paradoxes inherent in how the bounds of nature are handled, and discusses several traditions on which Tacitus draws. In declama- tion the edges of the earth represent a mystery and a danger, while the philosophical topos of the flight of the mind, as exemplified by Lucretius’ praises of Epicurus, offers a positive scheme in which breaking the bounds of nature is a metaphor for major intellectual achievement. The implications of Agricola’s identity as a provincial Roman are discussed, along with the glimpses of an imaginary geog- raphy in which Rome is de-centred. Finally the article considers how Tacitus inverts a literary tradition of associating the periphery of the earth with death and the underworld.

Poetica della presenza
(2019)
This essay aims at discussing the new literature on Franco-German relations during the period 1918-1930. It highlights how many works now question the idea that the Treaty of Versailles and the European order that ensued inevitably wore within themselves the seeds of a new war. On the contrary, by examining in particular the detente efforts of the Twenties, the most recent historiography often emphasizes how the inevitability of the authoritarian turn of Twenties and Thirties, which led to the Second World War, has often been exaggerated by historians and that different paths could have been undertaken.

Nella sua molteplicità l'opera letteraria di Daniele Del Giudice (nato a Roma nel 1949) analizzata nel presente volume rispecchia tanto la poliedricità della sua biografia quanto il grande interesse di quest'Autore per le possibilità e le capacità conoscitive dell'uomo. Sullo sfondo dei suoi romanzi e racconti vi è una vasta conoscenza non solo teorica ma anche basata su esperienze pratiche e sempre intesa ad acquisire nuove cognizioni, che unisce in sé i mondi della filosofia, dell'arte e della letteratura con quelli della tecnica e delle scienze naturali. Negli anni Ottanta Del Giudice si è messo alla guida di una nuova letteratura di carattere postavanguardistico, pur allo stesso tempo radicando la sua opera nella tradizione culturale italiana e individuandone alcuni principali poli di identificazione in una serie di autorità da Dante a Calvino, attraverso Tasso, Foscolo, Leopardi e Montale. Inoltre, l'opera di Del Giudice risulta intrecciata in vario modo con il pensiero europeo e animata da pionieristiche concezioni filosofiche e letterarie del Novecento.
