"Causa di stravaganze": order and anarchy in Domenico Gargiulo's Revolt of Masaniello

Marshall, Christopher R. ( 1998)

Three paintings by Domenico Gargiulo of the revolt of Masaniello in 1647 have been interpreted as an anti-Spanish commentary. Close analysis of the events depicted in Gargiulo's major painting of the revolt and of the political sympathies of his patrons, however, reveals the contrary to be the case. In this and other paintings, Gargiulo reinforces conventional stereotypes of the Neapolitan lower classes as fundamentally capricious and irrational. These negative visions of popular anarchy are to be contrasted with the propriety, unity, and stability displayed by the establishment in Gargiulo's other pictures of contemporary events.
Master-slave relationship in Hegel’s philosophy

KAMAL, MUHAMMAD (Department of Philosophy, University of Poona, 1998)

This paper deals with Hegel’s dialectic interpretation of the conflictual relationship between the self and the other for recognition; the domination of the other by the self, which results in creating two unequal kinds of human being in history. It is argued that the recognition and freedom of the self by the other at the end of the conflict is doomed to failure as the other is reduced to a ‘thing’ and enslaved.
