Rhythm, contagion, "cosmic race” by Lorena Grigoletto

“…The aesthetic notion of rhythm, as well as shifting the discourse on mimesis from the visual to the acoustic-emotional dimension, nevertheless presents the characteristics and risks of what Scheler calls “unipathy” or contagion and acquires a particularly important significance when considered as the theoretical premise of the famous Vasconcelian essay The Cosmic Race (1925). This article reconstructs the link between the notions of rhythm, contagion and “cosmic race” to reflect on the question of otherness, on the mimetic-rhythmic processes of the individual and socio-political body, and on the risk of the “desymbolisation” of thought that such a process perhaps conceals. …”

Outposts. Design inventories for a possible future between biology and the artefact by Vincenzo Moschetti

“…It is not a question of deciphering a possible and renewed domestication of the ‘forests’, but rather of a preferable use of the devices – as revealed by Agamben – for identifying how architecture can place itself within a completely autonomous organism. The essay makes use of the examples offered by Giorgini’s Casa Esagono in Baratti and Perugini’s Casa Albero in Fregene, together with the more recent Horizontal Skyscraper by Herzog & de Meuron, to manifest a preferable advance, parallel to that of forests which, according to the evidence available, will continue to expand in the future and within which it is desirable, if not necessary, to ‘work’ using the figure of the outpost.…”
