PENDRAGON 1999 192 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PARI AL NUOVO, PERFETTO E INTONSO. Il libro è insieme una introduzione al pensiero di Deleuze - uno dei più importanti filosofi contemporanei - e una ricerca originale sulla concezione di “istituzione” rintracciabile soprattutto nei primi scritti. L’autore raccoglie in questo suo testo, con modifiche e integrazioni rilevanti, alcuni suoi contributi realizzati per diverse sedi: riviste, introduzioni a volumi ecc., per proporre un passo in avanti negli studi deleuziani, un approfondimento dei temi essenziali per la comprensione dell’intera ricerca del pensatore francese. In quest’ottica va appunto collocata la sottolineatura del pensiero di Deleuze su concetti come “istituzione” e “istinto” (un presupposto “forte”, quest’ultimo, per la collaborazione successiva con F. Guattari) e la proposta della centralità filosofica della “coppia” Spinoza-Nietzsche per un pensiero attento alle dimensione del corpo, del desiderio, della potenza di vita. Ubaldo Fadini insegna attualmente alla Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università di Firenze. È autore di Il corpo imprevisto. Filosofia, antropologia e tecnica in Arnold Gehlen (Franco Angeli 1988), e Configurazioni antropologiche. Esperienze e metamorfosi della soggettività moderna (Liguori 1991). Ha pubblicato inoltre numerosi saggi sulla filosofia del Novecento (da T. Lessing a G. Deleuze e P. Virilio). Ha curato negli ultimi anni la raccolta di colloqui tra Adorno, Canetti, Gehlen, Desiderio di vita. Conversazioni sulle metamorfosi dell’umano (Mimesis 1996); la raccolta di saggi di G. Deleuze, Divenire molteplice (Ombre corte 1996); l’edizione italiana di P. Virilio, La velocità di liberazione (Strategia della Lumaca 1997).

Spedizione in 24 ore dalla conferma dell'ordine - "Oltre 300 opere tra dipinti e lavori su carta realizzati da Valerio Adami tra il 1956 e il 1963 documentano gli anni milanesi dell'artista nella monografia pubblicata in collaborazione con la Fondazione Marconi. Il volume presenta i testi di Valerio Adami (Referto), una conversazione di Amelia Valtolina con Valerio Adami (Nulla dies sine linea), Emilio Tadini (Valerio Adami), Enrico Crispolti (Adami), Alain Jouffroy (Valerio Adami); seguono il catalogo delle opere suddivise per anni (1956-1960; 1961; 1962; 1963) e la biografia dell'artista a cura di Amelia Valtolina. Valerio Adami (1935) nasce a Bologna, ma è a Milano negli anni di guerra. I suoi primi disegni sono disegni di rovine: le case devastate dai bombardamenti. L'atelier di Felice Carena, poi l'incontro a Venezia con Oskar Kokoschka e in seguito l'Accademia di Brera con Achille Funi, sono stati il suo itinerario di formazione. Nel '58 inizia quella vita di viaggi che lo porterà a vivere e lavorare in diverse città d'Europa, negli Stati Uniti, in America Latina, in Israele, in India, e a intrecciare nuove amicizie: lo scrittore Carlos Fuentes, il filosofo Jacques Derrida, i pittori Saul Steinberg, Richard Lindner e Matta, Octavio Paz, Italo Calvino, Luciano Berio sono parte di questa cerchia intellettuale. Dal 1970 lavora in esclusiva con la galleria Maeght."
