La solitudine rappresenta un rischio sostanziale per la salute e in quanto tale è attualmente al centro di studi empirici. Le ricerche che si concentrano sul tema della solitudine prendono spesso in esame una fascia di età avanzata, dal momento che, in questa fase della vita, sono riscontrabili alcuni fattori specifici di rischio particolarmente marcati. Allo stesso tempo va sottolineato che la solitudine non è un fattore universale, né un problema che riguarda esclusivamente gli anziani: infatti, può colpire persone di tutte le fascie di età, con un picco iniziale nella giovane età adulta. A livello scientifico, la solitudine è definita come una sensazione emotiva negativa. Questa sensazione è legata sia a tratti individuali della personalità sia a circostanze situazionali. Nel corso della vita questo sentimento può presentare diversi contesti ed essere influenzato da cambiamenti relativi al bisogno di interazioni sociali e dalle relazioni, eventi critici, percezioni positive/negative dell’età o modi di vedere le persone anziane, nonché dalla storia dello sviluppo del singolo, comprese le esperienze relazionali interiorizzate. A prescindere dal livello socio-strutturale, la solitudine può essere oggetto di attenzione anche in psicoterapia; gli interventi psicoterapeutici possono concentrarsi su diversi aspetti tra quelli sopra citati per alleviarne l’intensità e supportare le persone colpite. Vi rientrano, ad esempio, la gestione di desideri contrastanti (ad es. auto sufficienza e assistenza) nel contesto di eventuali perdite di persone a causa dell’avanzare dell’età e il rafforzamento delle risorse psico-sociali degli anziani.

The coronavirus epidemic has posed numerous scientific, clinical and patient-related health management problems. The doctors involved had the need to face new problems, to modify their work organization and their approach with the patient, and to increase their empathic capacity in various areas. Taking advantage of the various aspects of this experience can be decisive for building a health care that, through prevention, personalized clinic, research, privileges the person in toto with his right to health. The strong contribution given by young doctors is a source of hope for all of us. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The time we are living through is characterized by many fears and anxieties, because is seems that everything is slowly eroding. Relationships are constitutive of the self, the “I”: becoming aware of that is a warning that our being is not self-referential, and putting it into practice in our various daily activities is the way to put into practice the anteriority of our selves with respect to the Cartesian ‘ego cogito.’ In being turned towards others, we have in mind the request for love and meaning that each person expresses in every gesture. In caring for the irreducible fragility of others, we recognize them as valuable and deserving of respect and as desiring and needing to be seen in a way that does not erase their identity, but rather always recognizes, appreciates, and values them so as favor their full and complete flourishing.

In this paper I discuss Jungian psychological work of the trauma and loss experienced in reaction to COVID-19 with a man who represents a clinical composite. The issues of precarity, a concept used by the philosopher Judith Butler, are combined with the notions of lack and absence of French psychoanalyst André Green. The psychological and societal situation of precarity aroused the man's childhood issues that were long repressed. The loneliness, isolation and death from COVID-19 mirrored his personal and the collective responses to the disaster from this global pandemic. He felt on the edge of collapse as what he knew of his world crashed and he found himself unable to cope. The subsequent Jungian work taking place through the virtual computer screen was taxing and restorative simultaneously for both analyst and analysand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nella narrativa contemporanea trova frequentemente spazio la rappresentazione di personaggi votati a una solitudine estrema e all’azzeramento dell’emotività. In particolare l’articolo si propone di analizzare i testi in cui il desiderio di allontanarsi dal mondo assume i tratti di una mutazione sostanziale del soggetto, che diviene, in una progressione reificante, eremita, fantasma, cosa. In Vila-Matas l’isolamento claustrofilico diviene gioco metaletterario, in Sebald assume le forme della solitudine eremitica, in Mari della autotrasformazione in fantasma, mentre Houellebecq e DeLillo sondano le frontiere del mutamento genetico e della criogenizzazione. Si può forse ravvisare in questa ricerca di solitudine radicale e di annullamento della propria identità umana una conseguenza abnorme - nonché sintomo molto rilevante - della necessaria barriera immunitaria che l’uomo ha dovuto innalzare per poter reggere e controbilanciare la dispersione di sé e la struggle for life che il vivere sociale richiede e purtroppo in qualche modo impone. The representation of characters voted to an extreme loneliness and to abolition of emotionalism frequently finds space in contemporary literary fiction. Particularly the article intends to analyze novels in which the desire to move away from the world assumes the traits of a substantial mutation of the subject, who becomes progressively a hermit, a ghost, a ‘thing’. In Vila-Matas, claustrophilic isolation becomes a postmodern game, in Sebald it takes the forms of hermitic loneliness, in Mari of self-transformation in ghost, while Houellebecq and DeLillo explore the frontiers of genetic change and cryonics. In this pursuit of radical loneliness and annihilation of human identity, perhaps it is possible to recognize an abnormal consequence - as well as a very remarkable symptom - of the necessary immunization barrier which human beings have lifted to hold up and counterbalance the fragmentation of individual and the struggle for life that society requires and unfortunately somehow imposes.

Il presente saggio intende analizzare l'amicizia e la relazione intellettuale instauratasi tra María Zambrano e Cristina Campo durante la seconda metà degli anni Cinquanta a Roma, testimoniata dalle lettere scritte da Cristina Campo all'amica e pubblicate in Italia. La vicinanza del pensiero e del sentimento religioso che le caratterizza è senz'altro un motivo d'indagine. Questa importante corrispondenza è inoltre studiata in relazione alla filosofia di Simone Weil, figura mediatrice che unisce le due autrici.

This article presents a reasoned review of the works produced on the "FoMO" phenomenon, starting from the date of the first scientific paper. FoMO stands for Fear of Missing Out. It is a specific form of social anxiety explained by the need to remain in contact with other people and the fear of being excluded from an event or social context. According to the definition of Andrew Przybylski, the first author to deal with FoMO, it is possible to define it as «a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent (...) is characterized by the desire to stay continually connected with what others are doing» (Przybylski et al., 2013, p. 1). In the US, many efforts were done on FoMO, while the same cannot be said for the rest of the world. Nevertheless, this is a condition that we can be observed everywhere. This review aims at defining the field for future insights on the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contribution examines the New Testament memories and literary interpretations of the Apostle Judas in order to offer the reader a synthesis of exegetical and literary orientations. The study shows that the history of interpretation has influenced and determined the literary codifications of the character Judas. Exegetical analysis offers the reader a reconstruction of events, which breaks down many clichés. Judas's literary review begins with Dante, where he appears torn in Lucifer's jaws, as an extreme synthesis of Evil. It is the supreme figure of evil in Jacopo da Varazze, before being a traitor, who make him a being of extreme perversion. Modern and contemporary authors such as De Quincey, Borges, Lucrezi, have freed him from the hypothesis of betrayal perpetrated only for greed of money. In Amos Oz, the polysemic identity of the traitor becomes an extreme example of the unheard prophet of a non-nationalist Zionism: a utopia of integration and peace, misunderstood, and therefore defined as betrayal.

Questo articolo si propone di approfondire il tema della solitudine essenzialmente nello Zibaldone di Leopardi, ma anche nei Canti e in altre opere: un argomento che fa parte di quel piccolo nucleo di concetti che consentono all'autore di stabilire una serie di distinguo fra antichità e modernità, uomo saggio e uomo della strada, persona che ha sofferto e quella che non sa che cos'è il dolore, tra solitudine originaria, essenzialmente umana ma anche animale e quindi naturale, e solitudine moderna, quella dell’esclusione, che viene sperimentata proprio dalle masse, e quindi urbana.

L’articolo prende le mosse da una ricerca etnografica conclusa nel 2012 che ha avuto per oggetto l’immigrazione albanese nel contesto agropastorale della Sardegna. Obiettivo dell’articolo è analizzare il nesso che lega solitudine e pastorizia, topos mitico e poetico della condizioni del pastore in generale, che trova una specifica declinazione nella condizione degli immigrati albanesi impiegati nelle aziende sarde come dipendenti o “servi-pastori”.

Nell'attimo in cui il mio cervello percepì la consistenza del viale su cui ero uscito, preso da sconforto, misi a fuoco l'idea dell'esistenza di uno spazio temporale. La conoscenza/comprensione di altre entità: questo sta alla base della differenza tra essere soli o accompagnati.

In questo articolo che fa parte di una ricerca sul paesaggio in Petrarca, si analizzano la sua esperienza personale e la sua concezione del paesaggio della solitudine nonché l’importanza che esso ha avuto nella sua creazione letteraria e nella costruzione della figura ideale dell’intellettuale umanista che tanta influenza avrà in seguito. Qui l’autore compie un tentativo di lettura degli elementi iconografici del disegno autografo del manoscritto contenente la Historia naturalis di Plinio dietro ai quali si nasconde non solo il nome del poeta ma anche la sua mitografia umanistica.
