2. Embracing Life: Gustav Landauer's Anarchism as Rejection of Death.

Author

Pisano, Libera

Subjects
*ANARCHISM, *INDIVIDUALISM, *SUPERSTITION, *CONCORD, *HUMANITY, *MYSTICISM
Abstract

This paper examines Gustav Landauer's mystical anarchism, focusing on the concept of overcoming death as a core element of his thought. It explores Landauer's rejection of death as both a linguistic superstition and a limited worldview, emphasizing the collective whole over individualism. The essay suggests that Landauer's representation of revolution moving from space to time includes his account of mystical anarchy, which fosters a deep connection with the past and a sense of unity with the world and humanity. This shift in perspective promotes a more fulfilling and meaningful existence within a larger, authentic community that is an antidote to the constraints of death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Wandering words : translation against the myth of origin in Fritz Mauthner's philosophy

Author

Pisano, Libera and Pisano, Libera

Abstract

In this paper, I will address the issue of translation as a critique of autochthony that emerges in the context of Fritz Mauthner's linguistic scepticism. Translation, for Mauthner, becomes a privileged prism through which to consider identity and belonging, as well as a way of understanding uprootedness, since language is a continuous product of borrowing, bastardization, stratification, and contingency. According to Mauthner, languages are not possession, but borrowing; not purity, but contagion; not an abstract crystallization, but transit. Therefore, love of the mother tongue - the only way to conceive patriotism - is not a physical connection with the land, roots, or nation, but a refuge, an always precarious 'Heimat' (home).

5. “The Tragedy of Messianic Politics”: Gustav Landauer’s Hidden Legacy in Franz Rosenzweig and Walter Benjamin

Author

Pisano, Libera

Subjects
Gustav Landauer, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, German-Jewish thought, community
Abstract

Gustav Landauer (1870–1919) was a German-Jewish anarchist and radical thinker who was brutally murdered in the Munich Soviet Republic. Paul Mendes-Flohr has contributed enormously to the rediscovery of this long-neglected figure, who nonetheless played a crucial role in the intellectual debates of his time. Mendes-Flohr emphasizes the impact that Landauer’s death had on Martin Buber’s conception of politics at a time when Jewish revolutionaries were attempting to combine messianism and activism. In this essay, as a complement to Mendes-Flohr’s insightful work, I will attempt to show how Landauer’s legacy can be traced in two other German-Jewish thinkers, Franz Rosenzweig and Walter Benjamin, albeit with important differences. In particular, I want to illustrate how Landauer’s idea of an anarchic diaspora, as well as his idea of revolution as interruption, both based on a unique conception of time, can be seen as two powerful theologico-political devices that he used in order to dismantle a too narrow and too technical idea of politics. I will, therefore, examine how the anarchic diaspora finds its echo in Rosenzweig’s thought, and how the idea of interruption and inversion can be found in Benjamin’s conception of revolution.

7. La Stella Rossa E I Suoi Raggi. Un Secolo Di Rivoluzione (1917-2017)

Author

Pisano, Libera and Pisani, Giacomo

Abstract

Celebrare la rivoluzione d’ottobre implica, in qualche modo, seguirne il filo rosso per fare i conti con le costellazioni che si sono formate in seguito a questo evento. Il suo centenario è l’occasione per raccoglierne l’eredità e interrogare, ancora una volta, la trama degli eventi storici, delle promesse e dei fallimenti del Novecento. La rivoluzione d’ottobre è un evento storico epocale, ma anche un mito collettivo che la cultura visuale ha nutrito. Se i raggi della stella della rivoluzione si sono propagati lungo tutto il secolo scorso, le sue scintille dalla Russia hanno raggiunto le lotte di liberazione anti-coloniali nelle periferie del mondo e continuano, ancora oggi, ad esercitare una forte influenza., http://www.losguardo.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2017-25-Editoriale.pdf

18. Bugia instrumentum regni. Potere della menzogna, menzogna del potere

Author

Pisano, Libera and Pisano, Libera

Abstract

Riflettere sulla menzogna significa sondare lo scarto che sussiste tra poteree linguaggio nella vita quotidiana. Si mente parlando e la bugia unpeccato della lingua: le parole, riprendendo una bellissima metafora omerica,coprono e nascondono la realt come una coltre di neve fitta che cade alsuolo. Mentire anche agire. unazione consapevole proiettata nel futuro,una strategia di controllo, algida geometria del calcolo e bilancio dei suoi effetti.Ogni menzogna un duplice processo: occulta la verit sostituendoneun racconto falso, distrugge e costruisce. Ha al suo centro una discrepanzatra ci che viene pronunciato e le intenzioni reali di chi parla. Le parolemenzognere esibiscono lessere nellapparire, non invertono il mondo, mane inventano un altro.La menzogna viene detta per ricavare un vantaggio pratico o personale,dal bottino di guerra al privilegio sociale o politico. Ha bisogno di un tu a cuirivolgersi, un destinatario che presente anche nei casi di autoinganno . Cdunque una dimensione espositiva e relazionale, la bugia si staglia su unascena plurale, interazione e implica una certa reciprocit. Il bugiardo giocaun ruolo attivo, mentre lascoltatore uno passivo. Tuttavia non improbabileche accada un rovesciamento, quando nella bugia perfetta lingannatore siauto-inganna. [...]
