Il presente vivo

Temporalità del divenire e del trauma in Lispector, Ortese e Philip
Alberica Bazzoni

Mimesis Edizioni, 2025

Il presente vivo è l’esperienza incarnata del divenire temporale, in compartecipazione fra il sé e il mondo; di contro, il trauma interrompe e disgrega la temporalità.

Time and the Everyday in Slow Cinema

Rosa Barotsi
Cultural Inquiry, 34
Berlin: ICI Berlin Press, 2025
