Author Biography

Giulio Angioni, University of Cagliari

Giulio Angioni was a leading Italian anthropologist, professor at the University of Cagliari and fellow of St Antony's College of the University of Oxford. He is the author of about twenty books of fiction and a dozen volumes of essays in anthropology. In his anthropological essays (especially in Fare, dire, sentire: l’identico e il diverso nelle culture, 2011), Angioni places the variety of forms of the human life in a dimension of maximum range of time and space, starting from the anthropopoietic value of doing, saying, thinking and feeling as interrelated dimensions (although usually separate and hierarchical) of human 'nature', which here is understood as characterized by culture, i. e. the human ability of continuous learning. In particular Angioni criticizes two western clichés: the superiority of speech as a solely human feature, and the separateness of the aesthetic dimension from the rest of life.

Best known as a writer, Giulio Angioni is considered, with Sergio Atzeni and Salvatore Mannuzzu, one of the initiators of a so-called Sardinian Literary Spring, the Sardinian narrative of today in the European arena. Giulio Angioni‘s most praised novels are: Le fiamme di Toledo (Flames of Toledo), Assandira, Doppio cielo (Double sky), L'oro di Fraus (The gold of Fraus), Sulla faccia della terra. He wrote three books of poetry: Tempus, Oremari and Anninora.
