Vedere il testo. Percorsi di ricerca per Giuseppe Barbieri

This collection of essays devoted to Giuseppe Barbieri is a tribute from his friends, colleagues and pupils who, through the variety of their contributions, wish to celebrate the multiplicity of interests that have always been characteristic of the scholar’s intellectual activity. His important academic career has resulted in innovative and sometimes unusual studies, exploring unconventional fields, always driven by an inexhaustible curiosity and constantly seeking to overcome the barriers between disciplines.

For this reason, the title of the volume Vedere il testo evokes not only the originality of his research and tireless commitment to teaching, but also to a critical approach capable of entwining the visual and theoretical dimensions in innovative ways. The collection therefore creates an ideal dialogue between scholars of the visual arts, history, criticism, literature, philosophy, social sciences and art law, testifying to a transversal range of relationships and interests that is open, dynamic and free from dogmatism.
