Inglese Sono qui raccolti i contributi delle seconda edizione de I Dialoghi di San Giorgio, progettata dalla Fondazione Giorgio Cini sul tema delle Architetture di Babele. Linguisti, semiologi, filosofi, sociologi, scienziati e poeti discutono dell’intercessione dei linguaggi nei rapporti di integrazione e scontro fra culture, etnie e religioni. Ci si interroga sulla mutazione delle lingue, che oggi appaiono sempre meno sistemi verbali e sempre più sincretismi di parole, grafi, numeri, immagini. / Gathered here are the contributions of the second edition of I Dialoghi di San Giorgio, organized by the Giorgio Cini Foundation on the topic Architectures of Babel. Linguists, semiologists, philosophers, sociologists, scientists and poets discuss the mediating role of languages in integration and clash of cultures, ethnic groups and religions. Also investigated is the mutation of languages, which today are more and more syncretisms of words, graphs, numbers, images, rather than verbal systems.

Animals and wild men are everywhere in medieval culture, but their role in illuminating medieval constructions of humanity has never been properly explored. This book gathers together a large number of themes and subjects (including Bestiary, heraldry, and hunting), and examines them as part of a unified discourse about the body and its creative transformations. Human and animal are terms traditionally opposed to one another, but their relationship must always be characterized by a dynamic instability. Humans scout into the animal zone, manipulating and re-shaping animal bodies in accordance with their own social imagining–yet these forays are risky since they lead to questions about what humanity consists in, and whether it can ever be forfeited. Studies of birds, foxes, game animals, the wild man, and shape-shifting women fill out the argument of this book, which sheds new light on works by Chaucer, Gower, the Gawain-poet, and Henryson, as well as showing that many less familiar texts have rewards that an informed reading can reveal.
