International audience ; Per comprendere la lotta dei popoli -aqui Tuareg- ridotti ad essere minoranza dalla voracità degli odierni stati dominanti, la visione evoluzionista e gerarchica – che si accontenta di opporre bonariamente società accusate di essere tribali, feudali, arcaiche, particolariste, a quelle società egemoniche,che deterrebbero il monopolio dell'organizzazione politica, democratica, moderna e universalista- alla fin fine non aiuta molto: serve soltanto a celare la dura realtà, tutta politica, dell'espropriazione e dello stupro che questa civiltà distrutta continua a patire.

to understand the struggle of the peoples — here Tuareg- reduced to being minority by the voidability of today's dominant states, the evolutionist and hierarchical vision — which is content to blatantly oppose societies accused of being tribal, feudal, archaic, particularist, and egemonic societies, which would hold the monopoly of political, democratic, modern and universal organisation — ultimately does not help much: it serves only to conceal the harsh political reality of expropriation and rape that this destroyed civilisation continues to suffer. ; International audience ; to understand the struggle of the peoples — here Tuareg- reduced to being minority by the voidability of today's dominant states, the evolutionist and hierarchical vision — which is content to blatantly oppose societies accused of being tribal, feudal, archaic, particularist, and egemonic societies, which would hold the monopoly of political, democratic, modern and universal organisation — ultimately does not help much: it serves only to conceal the harsh political reality of expropriation and rape that this destroyed civilisation continues to suffer. ; Per comprendere la lotta dei popoli -aqui Tuareg- ridotti ad essere minoranza dalla voracità degli odierni stati dominanti, la visione evoluzionista e gerarchica – che si accontenta di opporre bonariamente società accusate di essere tribali, feudali, arcaiche, particolariste, a quelle società egemoniche,che deterrebbero il monopolio dell'organizzazione politica, democratica, moderna e universalista- alla fin fine non aiuta molto: serve soltanto a celare la dura realtà, tutta politica, dell'espropriazione e dello stupro che questa civiltà distrutta continua a patire.

The book presents a selection of the works presented during various encounters held in sites connected with the life of Paolo Mantegazza, aimed at retrieving and valorising his cultural legacy. An eclectic figure - scientist, novelist, anthropologist and politician - Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910) played a leading role in Italian society and the cultural scene of the late nineteenth century. The contributions of academics from different disciplines enable us to reconstruct both the great variety of the man's interests and curiosities, and the strict methodological rigour that guided his entire scientific production and is today the most evident sign of his contemporary relevance. - Il libro raccoglie una selezione dei lavori presentati in vari incontri tenuti nei luoghi legati alla vicenda biografica di Paolo Mantegazza e che miravano a recuperare e valorizzare la sua eredità culturale. Figura eclettica di scienziato, romanziere, divulgatore, politico, Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910) ha avuto un ruolo di primo piano nella cultura e nella società italiana della fine del XIX secolo; i contributi di studiosi di diverse discipline consentono di ricostruire sia la grande varietà degli interessi e delle curiosità dell'uomo, sia il profondo rigore metodologico che guida la sua intera produzione scientifica e che rappresenta il segno più forte della sua attualità.

Plato, in different dialogues such as Statesman, Protagoras, Republic, Timaeus-Critias and Laws, creates a number of myths that describe both the early condition of the human race and the efforts made by men to develop the first forms of social and political organisation. Myth - that ancient and unsurpassed mean of transmission of knowledge and moral precepts - seems indeed to be the only instrument able to reconstruct not only the anthropological characteristics and original state of man, but also the genesis of human aggregation and of the first technical and cultural realisations. Therefore, a determined group of dialogical characters – The Stranger of Elea, Protagoras, Socrates, Critias and the Athenian –, within the different platonic dialogues, presents a number of myths marked not only by their great literary fascination, but also by their independent philosophical value. Although each myth is linked to the others by many analogies both in structure and content, each one is an autonomous artistic and intellectual creation, but is however intrinsically bound to the dialogical context it is collocated in. As myths are introduced in order to give answers to precise questions and find solutions to certain problems (is the "golden age" lifestyle a desirable one? is it just an "animal paradise"? is man a selfish and aggressive being or is he a social and peace-loving one? is the political aggregation the product of an artificial and utilitarian contract or is it a natural result? is it possible to create a polis that guarantees collaboration and peace, without excluding cultural and aesthetical realisations?), it is essential not to sever the deep link between the mythical tale and the context in which it is collocated, but rather to examine carefully the function and meaning of the former in relationship to the latter and vice versa.

The vast output of Carlo Cattaneo contains no works specifically on the theme of colonialism. Nevertheless, this author, who is often represented as the historian of the triumphant bourgeoisie, frequently makes observations on the relationship between Europe, at the height of its splendor & its capacity for expansion beyond the continent, & the peoples & civilizations of the non-European world. His essays on India & China are particularly illuminating in this respect. Cattaneo's analyses contain an original mixture of historical reconstruction, cultural comparison & armchair anthropology. One is continuously aware of his perception of the need to reconcile the process of universalization emanating from Europe with the specific practices & values found in other nations & other forms of state. Racialist perspectives are completely alien to Cattaneo's work, & this guarantees an attitude of respect, though without ruling out a realistic recognition of the superiority behind Europe's position of dominance. Moreover, Cattaneo was not in a position to take into account "real" colonialism: having died in 1869 -- the year of the opening of the Suez Canal & the purchase of the Assab Bay by an Italian company -- he was not able directly to witness the emerging experience of Italian colonialism. In this sense, the more direct point of reference for Cattaneo's work is British colonialism. Adapted from the source document.
