Words and gestures in Early Modern Italy
The Early Modern period explores, in many ways, the question of the diversity of non-verbal language: natural and uncontrolled, or constructed and codified. According to what parameters, with what objectives, do we question ourselves about this mode of understanding the world which, through direct or indirect non-verbal signs, is either seen as a universal means of communication, or is patiently studied as a form of technical mastery (from the designer to the surgeon, from the courtier to the actor, from the preacher to the lawyer or diplomat)? In the vast reorganisation of codes, prompted by new and emerging knowledge (archaeology, philology) and politico-religious upheavals, interactions between word and image lead new forms of perception of what is seen and what is said or written, based on new articulations. The stability of writing and drawing, more assertive and able to reach a wider audience (through printing and engraving), and the inherent instability of gesture, which is sometimes fleeting and often temporary, lead to a friction between words and gestures, a game of appearances and signs, surface and depth, with the new status of the image (with devotion through illustration) and multiple arrangements of words, gestures and voices in the inventiveness of secular theatre, or in diplomatic and legal practices, fed by the abundant and experimental diversity of words to convey the nuances of gesture.

This special issue, which is intended as an advisory report, analyses the up-heavals brought about in Italian universities by the Covid-19 pandemic, both in educational relationships and in the impact of distance from the space which is usually a hub for university life and the transmission of knowledge.

This issue deals refers to the exact time when violents conflicts are supposed to end. Usually called «postwar period» and always perceived as problematic, this moment is an unachieved process: we know when it starts but we do not ever know when it really ends.

This book acknowledges that there can be no reflection on liberalism without the concept of freedom but that no concept of freedom can be included among the different forms of liberalism. The two words which constitute the subject of this investigation refer to empirical or conceptual realities and a priori different chronologies.
Jean-Louis Fournel, Christian Del Vento
