Protomusic
Anastasi introduces an alternative vision about language development and music involvement to the current scientific discourse. Her view is based on a rigorous evolutionary perspective, through which she not only demonstrates the hypothesis of vocal continuity with other species via morphological data but, more importantly, also demonstrates how music is first and foremost a biological and cognitive trait. The bond between animal and human communication is here interpreted as an interspecific universal with a clear evolutionary impact on the speech's natural history. Such continuity does not undermine the species-specificity of our linguistic system and, at the same time, supports the theory...
Protomusic: The role of Prosodic Modulation in the Emergence of Language
Anastasi introduces an alternative vision about language development and music involvement to the current scientific discourse.

Darwinian Biolinguistics
This book proposes a radically evolutionary approach to biolinguistics that consists in considering human language as a form of species-specific intelligence entirely embodied in the corporeal structures of Homo sapiens. The book starts with a historical reconstruction of two opposing biolinguistic models: the Chomskian Biolinguistic Model (CBM) and the Darwinian Biolinguistic Model (DBM). The second part compares the two models and develops into a complete reconsideration of the traditional biolinguistic issues in an evolutionary perspective, highlighting their potential influence on the paradigm of biologically oriented cognitive science. The third part formulates the philosophical, evolut...
The Pragmatics of Indirect Reports
This monograph on indirect reports offers insights on the semantics/pragmatics interface and a refinement of the notion of explicature. The volume is written in an engaging style and guides the reader through the theoretical problems and their ramifications. The thorniest problem in the study of indirect reports is their polyphonic nature, and how the listener distinguishes between the reporter’s voice and the original speaker’s voice, either by contextual clues or, in the absence of such clues, by resorting to pragmatic principles. The introductory chapter discusses the main issues that will be addressed in the volume. The next chapters focus on the various aspects of indirect reports, covering both theory and practical applications.

Mobile Devices and Smart Gadgets in Human Rights
In recent years, technology has permeated every aspect of daily life and has drastically increased accessibility and empowerment for all demographics. Smart technologies and mobile applications now have the ability to promote and protect the basic rights of children, women, and men alike. A child’s right to education and mental growth or a woman’s socio-economic stability and protection from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse can all be attributed to these advancements. Mobile Devices and Smart Gadgets in Human Rights provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical applications of technology in relation to human ethical treatment and interactions. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as public safety, augmented reality, and safety apps, this book is ideally designed for researchers, students, activists, academicians, policymakers, and government officials seeking current research on the influence of portable technologies in human rights and ethics.
Digital Humanities e Musicologia: un discorso introduttivo
Oggi è possibile scaricare dalla rete una quantità di prodotti artistici (gratis e/o a pagamento) la cui provenienza e correttezza filologica non sempre risponde ai canoni di correttezza, originalità e certezza delle fonti e del rispetto di esse. Certamente il formato PDF autorizza all’utilizzo di partiture in trascrizione moderna che però, spessissimo, non dichiarano i metodi e le procedure ricostruttive e le fonti a cui si è attinto per la conduzione della propria edizione. Uno sguardo sulle moderne tecniche e strumenti filologici nel campo del Digital Humanities, nonché sulle procedure di riconoscimento dei caratteri sui Data-Base disponibili è dunque necessario per capire a qual...
Animal Performance Studies
Indagare la dimensione dell’animalità nella storia degli studi teatrali implica la pluridisciplinarietà che è parte della nuova teatrologia, da sempre in dialogo con le scienze umane (antropologia, sociologia, semiotica) e con le neuroscienze. L’intento di questa raccolta di saggi è quello di iniziare a tracciare una storia del teatro come storia mista umana e non-umana – per la quale si rende necessario un dialogo con le scienze naturali, in particolar modo con l’etologia e con la zooantropologia, e di riattraversare in modo fruttuoso l’intera storia dei generi performativi, all’interno dei quali le performance interspecie si rivelano come una pratica originaria e costitutiva. In questo senso l’ottica sperimentale e multidisciplinare dei Critical Animal Studies risulta il terreno comune attraverso cui sono organizzati i contributi che compongono il volume e che spaziano dalla teoria della performance, all’etnoscenologia, dalla zooantropologia alla zoosemiotica, dalla filosofia all’etologia, senza tralasciare il punto di vista degli artisti della scena contemporanea.
The Weight of the Printed Word
In The Weight of the Printed Word, Steve Wright explores the creation and use of documents as a key dimension in the activities of the Italian workerists during the 1960s and 1970s, as they sought to organise amongst new subjectivities of mass rebellion.
