The King hides in the pages of Calvin and in the Escher's drawings. The paper takes into consideration the Twentieth Century western society. To understand its complexity, Niklas Luhmann uses the concept of second-order observation and describes society in terms of functionally differentiated systems. This socio-philosophical paradigm represents the "hidden King", or rather, the constitutional meta-card that identifies the principles and regulates the functioning of contemporary society. The thesis argued in the article is that this systemic approach also informs the art and literature of two exponents of that century, so far considered sui generis: the Italian writer Italo Calvino and the Dutch engraver Maurits Cornelis Escher. In short, Luhmann's theory of systems is proposed as interpretative key of figurative works and narrative texts; or, alternatively, it seems possible to illustrate the systems theory starting from the analysis of Calvino's text and from the reading of Escher's drawings.

Santa muerte: symbol and devotion to "the queen of the dreadful". This paper offers an epistemological examination of the devotion of the Santa Muerte. It argues that Death, more than any other phenomenon, is critical to the understanding of all human doings. In that sense, an analysis of religious fervor, as a form of paroxysm, offers a vantage point to scrutinize the rationale of contemporary sociocultural behavior in the West. If the imaginary of the Death plays a major role in all social behavior, then an examination of the Santa Muerte, “la reine des epouvantables” (queen of the appalling) may also shed light on how cultures in general experience a sense of spiritual transcendence. The pregnancy of the symbol is categorical; the Santa Muerte holds the world in one hand and the reaper with the other. The domains of the Santa Muerte are absolute, but at the same time subterranean, occult, and marginal. Following Simmel’s idea of the Hidden King, death is everywhere veiled; studying it is thus a way of discovering the foundations of all behavior. Death is a crucible in which social life is energized, it is the tragic substratum of everything, the original point of attachment from which life emerges. In this article, we will analyze a series of beliefs and rituals that surround the Santa Muerte in Mexico. For this, we present a hagiographic approximation on the so-called Nina Blanca, which we built with the testimonies of journalists, priests and devotees. Then we analyze the nature of its social stigma under the anthropological idea of the hatred of death. And finally, we work in what is called the domestiaction of death, while pointing out that the process of sacralisation of the layman, who is at stake.
Santa muerte：对“恐怖女王”的象征和虔诚。本文对圣穆尔特的奉献精神进行了认识论考察。它认为，死亡比任何其他现象都更能理解人类的一切行为。从这个意义上说，对宗教狂热作为一种突发事件的分析，为审视西方当代社会文化行为的基本原理提供了一个有利的视角。如果死亡的想象在所有社会行为中都发挥着重要作用，那么对圣穆尔特的研究，“骇人听闻的女王”（la reine des epouvantables）也可能揭示文化如何普遍体验到精神超越感。符号的怀孕是绝对的；Santa Muerte一手抓着世界，另一手拿着收割者。Santa Muerte的领域是绝对的，但同时又是地下的、神秘的和边缘的。按照西美尔关于隐藏之王的思想，死亡无处不在；因此，研究它是发现所有行为基础的一种方式。死亡是社会生活充满活力的熔炉，是一切事物的悲剧底层，是生命产生的最初依恋点。在这篇文章中，我们将分析墨西哥圣女教堂周围的一系列信仰和仪式。为此，我们对所谓的妮娜·布兰卡（Nina Blanca）进行了一个圣徒传记式的近似，我们用记者、牧师和奉献者的证词建立了这个近似。然后，我们在对死亡的憎恨这一人类学思想下，分析其社会污名的本质。最后，我们致力于所谓的死亡家庭化，同时指出对处于危险之中的外行人的神圣化过程。

Elvis, the hidden king of rock and roll. Messianism, revolutionary delusion and birth of new pop fetishisms. Taking inspiration from Simmel’s insight regarding the presence of hidden kings in every distinguished cultural epoch, this paper explores the forms through which pop culture has got to generate new models of power, capable to set new standards by means of intrisic capabilities of overcoming social distortions the political power could not overtake. Elvis Presley, its myth, and the fetishisms derived from his stardom, condensed a number of Western stereotypes, subsuming counterposed social consciousnesses. In Presley’s figure, social antinomies are smoothed out through the delusion of a revolutionary pledge, that eventually comes out to be socially reassuring and equitable with an epiphany.

Become a penultimate. For a semiotic biopolitics of the last cultures. In this paper I will try to build a Semiotic Biopolitics, in order to deal with the problem of cultural domination and integration. I will do that from the point of view of the theory of systems, especially the Theory of Complexity. I will work on the economical crisis of these recent years, trying to avoid an anthropocentric point of view.

Outermost cultures inside outermost cultures. Notes from Calabrian villages Calabria is one of the poorest regions in Europe. Because of its history, marked by a massive emigration, its geographical position and is geological situation, it also became an internal frontier, faraway from the rest of the continent. From the last decade of the XX century it is one of the most important landing place of the Mediterranean sea for migrants, refugees, exiles coming from Africa and Middle East. At the same time Calabria is a land of emigration and abandonment. Most of its villages risk of remaining empity. Using the Cesare Pavese’s novel Il carcere, set in a Calabrian village called Brancaleone during the fascist regime as a fictional example of the contradictory role of the stranger inside an outermost and closed culture, the article focus on two opposite models of interaction between migrants and inhabitants applied in two close and almost empty villages, Rosarno and Riace.

The (social) life "double warp sewn" with the conflict: Georg Simmel's Lebenssoziologie program. The essay intends to highlight the role and value that the theme of the Leben ("life") takes on in the sociology of culture and in the philosophy of values of Georg Simmel. The aim of the paper is also to test the relevance and validity of the Simmelian perspective, starting from the established fact of Simmel's unavoidability, up to the possible use of the program of his Lebenssoziologie, term indicating, faithfully to the teachings of the Berlin sociologist, the science that investigates the "vital social forms". The characteristic feature of modern society is the progressive proliferation of catalyst semantic centers, for which the "hidden king" of our age seems lost. The extreme paradox that we live is given by the coexistence on the one hand of a very refined rationality and technology making the other ever closer (in a social, political, anthropological, biological, astronomical, etc. sense), and on the other hand, of an inability to "represent", "imagine" this other. The "tragic" dialectic of the social structuring, and therefore of the cultural production, indicated and studied masterfully by Simmel, is the fulcrum of the Lebenssoziologie that underpins his last works and which still shows all its freshness, its argumentative vigor and its relevance.

Trans Adriatic Pipeline: a gas pipeline at the Centre of a social struggle and a movement in conflict to stop it. The Trans Adriatic Pipeline project, (Tap), concerns the construction of a gas pipeline that would transport natural gas from Azerbaijan to Italy. The project, supported by the Italian Government and the European Union, has been the subject of protests and opposition – developed into a social conflict ¬– by communities of Salento, that should accept the work. This paper describes the main controversial tracts concerning the project, the reactions of the local population, the importance of the sense of community, and the citizen’s feeling of distrust and disappointment for the institutions

Street art in Urbe. Urban art in the suburbs or Rome. Rome in the past was the undisputed cradle of the arts, the imperative destination of the eighteenth-century grand tourists for its constant combination of old and new, humble and magnificent. Recently, Rome is playing once again that key role in the 21st century world. The scenario is mostly regarding the Roman suburbs, borderline not only geographically, but also culturally and socially, where external ugliness is often due to an original lack of aesthetic design or frequently subjects to carelessness and degradation. On this type of urban contest many street artists are involved with their works, directly in contact with the territory and its inhabitants. In this essay the focus is on the connection born from the involvement of artists and citizens, which leads to a legal, programmatic and connected artistic production. So, Art becomes a means of communication in places that are often voiceless and, at the same time, it always performs its function: trough the Beauty, Art re-qualifies and educates
