| Sumario: | The person belongs to an event that outlines the form of an instant here, now; where the metamorphosis of places and stories de-personalizes the place into an elsewhere and time fluidifies into an indeterminacy of ages and an ou-topical history, making the person linked to the finding of himself in what American poetry has identified as a haunted sky, I-divided, emphasis of command: the perception becomes, redemptively, generational palingenesis, unity of archetypal presence, but also inspiration to a collective call of disenchantment, to rediscover the traces of a pastoral sense of mystical awakening, possible in community catechesis of historical witness and belonging to a place declined to the present, where also memory, anthropological protection and ontological guarantee of the past, is a safeguard clause of the present. The author of this contribution (Bari, 1965) teaches in the Department of Political Science of the University of Bari, Philosophy of Peace and Legal Philosophies and Religions of the Middle and Far East. Since 2015 he has begun a way of poetic research, also bringing to lessons in his courses such itineraries and transits, characterizing the philosophical, epic, theological fields, and thus resuming the Italian tradition of the poem, which has allowed the author an expression at the same time of research and meditation, in order to combine narration and reflection, criticism and hermeneutics. |
