📍 Aula Magna of DFA/ASP (Department of Training and Education / Advanced Pedagogical School) - Piazza San Francesco 19, Locarno
Meeting with Francesca R. Recchia Luciani
Full Professor of Contemporary Philosophies and Gender Studies, and History of the Philosophy of Human Rights at the University of Bari (Italy)
What could a pop icon like Raffaella Carrà have in common with a philosopher like Jean-Luc Nancy, described by Jacques Derrida as “the greatest philosopher of touch since Aristotle”? And what connects the famous song Tuca Tuca to the complex haptic ontology developed by Nancy?
In this meeting, Professor Francesca R. Recchia Luciani will explore the fascinating connection between the French expression touche-touche and the contagious rhythm of Tuca Tuca, which, by duplicating touch, expresses an intense and uncontainable multiplication of contact.
With an approach that bridges philosophy, music, and cultural revolutions, the discussion will delve into how the philosopher of the “touch of touching” and the showgirl of the “navel revolution” managed to express, through different yet complementary languages, the liberation of body and desire.
It will be a journey through the paths of contemporary philosophy and the cultural history of the 1970s, putting Nancy’s conceptual elaboration in dialogue with Raffaella Carrà’s dance performativity, rebelling against the millenary tradition of controlling and repressing the body and its expressiveness.
Don’t miss this intriguing meeting, where we will reflect on how touch can become, in the realm of art and thought, a liberating and revolutionary gesture.
In dialogue with Angela Calia, researcher and lecturer and Demis Quadri, Professor of Research and Teaching in Physical Theatre, Head of Research and Service Performance Accademia Dimitri
