Legal Decision vs. Security State
di Francesco Petrillo
DOI: 10.4399/97888255243384
Abstract: Legal positivism of modernity, built on the will of the legislature, is today an interesting issue, considering its differences with logical legal positivism, because it is based on a political decision. Being constructed on a willed decision, it is intertwined with the need for constant recourse to the courts of justice to settle pre- or post- legal questions, regarding radical anthropological or existential problems of one individual or of the whole society. The studies on legal decision-making help us also to better understand recent security legislation, in some countries – including European countries – against terrorism, without any opposition from national and supranational political and legal systems.

Mounier: persona e comunicazione
Mounier: person and communication
di Gennaro Cicchese
DOI: 10.4399/97888255243385
Abstract (ITA): Questo saggio affronta il rapporto tra persona e comunicazione in E. Mounier. La persona è un essere relazionale, segnato da una capacità di apertura infinita al mondo e agli altri. Ciò accade attraverso un processo di personalizzazione: prendere le distanze dall’isolamento dell’individuo per mettersi in gioco nella relazione e trascendersi nel dono di sé. Per attuare ciò bisogna passare dalla vita anonima e indifferente a quella personale e solidale attuando una rivoluzione personalista e comunitaria: si tratta di un vero rinascimento, perché la dimensione personale è anche e costitutivamente interpersonale. La comunicazione costituisce un fatto primario, segnato da un movimento che Mounier riassume in cinque parole: uscire da sé, comprendere, assumere, dare e essere fedele, in uno spirito di libertà e gratuità che è la quintessenza dell’essere personale, e si compie nell’amore. Uno scacco alla comunione è sempre possibile perché l’esistenza umana è segnata da opacità, perché il dialogo rischia il malinteso e l’essere che noi siamo non è sempre amore da mattina a sera. Tuttavia il valore antropologico e ontologico della comunicazione è riaffermato insieme a quello dell’unità dell’umanità nel suo percorso storico.
Abstract (ENG): This paper addresses the interaction between person and communication as described by E. Mounier. A person is considered as an irrational being, characterized by an infinite way to open their mind to the others and the entire world. All of this is possible thanks to a personalization process: taking distance from the isolation of an individual and accept the challenge in order to achieve transcendence. In order to achieve this it’s necessary to switch from an anonymous and indifferent life to a personal and social one via a community-driven revolution: this is a true renaissance, because the personal view is, consequently, also an interpersonal one. Communication is self-established as a primary fact, marked by a movement that Mounier sums up in five words: self-estranging, learning, assuming, giving and being loyal, in a spirit of liberty which is the quintessence of being, and this is fulfilled in love. A potential checkmate on communion is always possible because human existence is marked by opacity, because dialogue may drive into misunderstanding and simply because what we are isn’t always related to love day-round. However, the anthropological and ontological value of communication is reaffirmed alongside that of union in humanity and its history.

Definire il ruolo dello scienziato sociale
Defining the role of a social scientist
di Enrico Damiani di Vergada Franzetti
DOI: 10.4399/97888255243386
Abstract: This work deals with the role of the social scientist in the production process of knowledge that can be called scientific, considered in the light of the responsibility that the researcher takes in critical terms towards the reality being analyzed and self-criticism against the activity carried out, in order to avoid the risks associated with easy exploitations or suspected inactivity.

Violence de l’état en Afrique
State violence in Africa
di Jean-Claude Angoula
DOI: 10.4399/97888255243387
Abstract: This article aims to return to the lively and fascinating debate of two decades ago between two authors, Achille Mbembe and Patrick Chabal, on the definition of the concept of violence in political terms. Achille Mbembe supports the thesis of the causal relationship between three phenomena, namely the exercise of power and coercion, the production of violence and the dynamics of accumulation. However, according to him, it is necessary to pose the problem from the African “symbolic sites”, and not “pseudo-scientific discourses which, in the field of political and economic analysis, claim to summarize Africa of a single word: crisis ” .
