PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Enea Bianchi obtained his PhD at the University of Galway, Ireland, with a thesis on the philosophy of Mario Perniola. He is member of the Editorial Board for the journal of aesthetics and cultural studies Ágalma, and, in 2022, he was elected delegate-at-large for the International Association for Aesthetics. He has published numerous articles on aesthetics, material culture and Perniola’s thought.
The Philosophy of Mario Perniola is a long overdue, conceptually rich and insightful introduction into the protean work of Mario Perniola, one of the most significant and distinctive voices in contemporary Italian philosophical and aesthetic thought. --Erik Vogt, Gwendolyn Miles Smith Professor of Philosophy, Trinity College, USA Work on Mario Perniola is especially timely and this book does a lot more than merely fill a gap. This is a monograph with a difference as novel comparisons with phenomena not directly related to Perniola's canon of reference drive multiple transversal resonances with Continental Philosophy, Cultural Studies, New Materialism and Ecocriticism. A deeply fascinating book. --Federica G. Pedriali, Professor of Literary, Metatheory and Modern Italian Studies, University of Edinburgh, UK
