Text devoted to the founding of Constantinople, i.e. the urban centre that from the Late Antiquity on, and up to the present date, has been and is a stage and at the same time a driving force of important political, religious, cultural, social events and developments. Specific analysis is devoted to the hypothesis (strengthened by an influential scholarly tradition) that Constantinople, since its very beginning with the first Christian emperor, has been conceived as a “capital city” in a specific religious, Christian acception. The subject is interesting not only in academic terms, in front of the present debate between “sacred” and “civic” spaces in the West as well as in Istanbul, the heir of Constantinople in geopolitical terms.
Il testo è dedicato alla fondazione di Costantinopoli, centro urbano che dalla Tarda Antichità fino a oggi, per le sue peculiari caratteristiche fra due continenti, è sia scenario sia fulcro propulsore di sviluppi ed eventi di massima rilevanza politica, religiosa, culturale, sociale. Viene discussa la possibilità (sostenuta da una illustre tradizione erudita) che la città sin dalla sua fondazione da parte del primo imperatore cristiano sia stata connotata non solo come "capitale" ma anche in senso esplicitamente religioso cristiano. Il tema riveste un interesse non solo accademico, dato l'attuale profondo ripensamento del rapporto tra spazio del "sacro" e spazio del "civile" in Occidente e anche nella stessa Istanbul, erede geopolitica di Costantinopoli.

Abstract
Text devoted to the founding of Constantinople, i.e. the urban centre that from the Late Antiquity on, and up to the present date, has been and is a stage and at the same time a driving force of important political, religious, cultural, social events and developments. Specific analysis is devoted to the hypothesis (strengthened by an influential scholarly tradition) that Constantinople, since its very beginning with the first Christian emperor, has been conceived as a “capital city” in a specific religious, Christian acception. The subject is interesting not only in academic terms, in front of the present debate between “sacred” and “civic” spaces in the West as well as in Istanbul, the heir of Constantinople in geopolitical terms.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
