Giacomo Marramao and Monica Pratesi in Conversation on Artribune Podcast

The Artribune podcast series 'Contemporaneamente,' curated by Mariantonietta Firmani, features a conversation between philosopher Giacomo Marramao and statistician Monica Pratesi. The dialogue explores themes of work, passion, relationships, luxury, poverty, polarization, and emerging languages, as well as intergenerational relations and new educational urgencies. Marramao, a professor of theoretical philosophy at Roma Tre University, member of the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris, and scientific director of the Fondazione Basso, argues that poetics have always anticipated politics, as social changes occur first in the symbolic sphere. Pratesi, a full professor of statistics at the University of Pisa and director of the Tuscan Universities Research Center 'Camilo Dagum' for Advanced Statistics for Equitable and Sustainable Development, also serves as president of the Italian Statistical Society. The discussion included a small group of students from the Academy of Fine Arts of L'Aquila. The podcast is part of a series that hosts thematic encounters with authoritative contemporary interpreters across art, science, literature, history, philosophy, architecture, and cinema, aiming to provide new readings and awareness of current mechanisms between local and global, individual and society, and masculine and feminine thought.
