If Giorgio Agamben’s concept of nudity is accurately understood as the opposite of concealment, or the removal of a veil, then his work Nudities also shows us the truth about inoperativity. This philosophy is less concerned with laziness or sloth within humanity than with the continuation of human actions in the politics of the future. Modern politics are vastly concerned with the lives of people everywhere. Not just their state of living, but their ways of living. Privacy is drastically changing

People are constantly assaulted by ads and commercials that are specifically designed to: induce a specific emotion or desire, target a particular audience, promote a certain lifestyle, and encourage consumerism. One of these advertisements is Giorgio Armani’s Armani Code, cologne for men. the creators of the ad chose specific aspects on order to make the product more appealing. This advertisement relies heavily on the pathos of the viewer; it is intended to induce an emotional response from male
although consumers may not always be aware, they are drawn to advertisements because it visually represents themselves in some way or another. Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication” and that is clearly how the Giorgio Armani advertisement is designed to make the consumer feel. Sophistication is felt in the simplicity of the soft white background, the models natural looking makeup hair and makeup, as well how she is dressed in an elegant, solid black shirt. On
is the case with The Garden of the Finzi-Conitini’s. Giorgio Bassani writes of his own life throughout the entirety of the novel, with themes like the death of love, with the love of his life Micol Finzi-Contini, wealthy landowners, as he was high on the social ladder in his life much like the Finizi-Contini’s are, and he represents the persecution and isolation of the Jewish people, as he is outlawed from tennis courts and libraries. Giorgio Bassani was born into a wealthy Jewish family. They lived
Michelangelo is a prodigy. He left various kinds of artwork: paintings, sculptures, architectures and so on. Giorgio Vasari repeats a word “divine” in his writing “the Life of the Michelangelo” in order to describe Michelangelo’s artistic talent. As he praises Michelangelo by using the word “divine”, Michelangelo’s art works and techniques surely transcend human natures. Michelangelo’s attitude toward art was industrious and determined but stubborn and grumpy, which came from his childishness. However
A. “And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” (1:14) B. The Gospel of John depicts Jesus not only as the son of God, but as the Word. The Word is God, thus Jesus is God in flesh. Jesus, the Word incarnate, was sent with a purpose, to shed light into the world. John 1:14 describes this light as the “grace and truth,” within Jesus. Yet, John 1:14, also depicted Jesus as a God, who “lived among

impeccable looks, sex, and wealth. Just like women, men are also driven by the media to be flawless and attractive (Lovejoy). For example, In Giorgio Armani’s cologne advertisement the man on the page is half naked with a six pack. It appeals to men that are not attractive or that are not currently fit. It yells to the viewer,
My summer in Europe I spent six weeks in Florence, studying renaissance art and art history. After this, I traveled across Europe for three weeks and experienced the many beautiful countries and cultures that exist on this continent. Studying renaissance art in Florence, the place of it's birth, was literally a moving experience. To see works that I thought only existed in books and also to live in the same city that housed the masters, was amazing. I took a drawing class as well in Florence

picture in the reader's head. Occasionally, writers can be inspired by such paintings. Sylvia Plath is one of the many writers who fell exceptional of such a piece; she decided to use the same title for her poem. "The Disquieting Muses" was painted by Giorgio de Chirico and later on the painting encouraged Plath to write a poem, using the same title. These two pieces of art differ from one another, but acquire a special similarity. In the literature piece "The Disquieting Muses" the speaker opens the stanza

non-place (America) has now become the place. It has been suggested that she left Mexico fifteen years ago for a better life. In his book Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life (1998) Giorgio Agamben emphasises on the concept of citizenship and how it occupies an important place in the modern biopolitics. Agamben believes: “One of the essential characteristics of modern biopolitics (which will continue to increase in our century) is its constant need to redefine the threshold in life that distinguishes
Fourthly, the authors described the notion of positive deviance as a strategy used by activists to highlight their ambiguous moral standing. They suggested that activists tend to differentiate themselves from other deviant groups, creating perceptions high performers and experts in their fields. The authors add they activists employing positive deviance draws on ideas that deviates from societal expectations, resulting in a more open and situational reaction from the public. Queer activists have
This week reading about the mere definition of a camp. The author name is Giorgio Agamben and he is an Italian philosopher. In this piece he finds the origins of the term camp and from there crafts a definition in order to identify it in the past and in current times. Yet, there were some questions I had with his justification behind his statements and his overall definition of a camp. My first question is why do ignorant people believe taking other rights is justified in the right of law? Some
Genocide: A Challenge to the Right to Life Das Recht hat kein Dasein für sich, sein Wesen vielmehr ist das Leben der Menschen selbst, von einer Seite angesehen. – Savigny Law has no existence for itself; rather its essence lies, from a certain perspective, in the very life of men. At the edge of the modern era, the concept of biopolitics places the natural, biological life of the individual man as the sentient, driving force behind collective State power. Michel Foucault originally defined this
There have been several occasions throughout history where innocent humans have been forced to divorce their rights and accept the harsh reality that was given to them, whether they had to live in a ghetto, a camp, prison, or even in their own neighborhood. This has occurred throughout multiple time periods, all around the world. Many question whether or not this is brutal reality that comes with living in separated nation states. As long as modern nation states survive, the dehumanization of mankind
For the title of the thesis - Event, Eventing, Eventuality – I have borrowed terms coined by Gadamer and Heidegger. Event refers to Gadamer’s argument that “all encounters with the language of art are an encounter with an unfinished event.” Accordingly, a work of art can never exhaust its subject-matter. Here Event refers to the artworks and the issues it raises. Eventing is a term Heidegger gave to the process by which an artwork evokes in viewers layers of connotations and implications, which
