Alba, a disputed city 1944-1945
The town of Alba was the backdrop to the clashes between partisans and Axis troops between 1944 and 1945 and was even occupied by Resistance forces in October 1944, who, however, only maintained control for a few days, the famous '23 days of Alba', described by Beppe Fenoglio in his book of the same name. The town was again attacked by partisans on 15 April 1945, in a clash that lasted all day, but did not dislodge the republican garrison from the town, and it was not until 26 April that the partisans of the 2nd 'Langhe' Division and the 21st Matteotti 'Fratelli Ambrogio' Brigade finally entered the town, with the surrender of the forces of the Italian Social Republic. This publication examines the events that took place in the Langhe town between 1944 and 1945, with descriptions of the partisan and republican units that clashed in the Langhe.
Audrey Hepburn
“ Everyone has their own Audrey, for some she is always twenty years old, for others she is in black and white and for others in color. Sometimes she is a European princess, a tipsy New Yorker or a UNICEF ambassador. Here you will discover her differently, made of ink and paper in a much more intimate and unvarnished dimension, without a soundtrack and with the voice you prefer. I sincerely hope that you will discover her as yours.” From the preface by Luca Dotti, Hepburn' s son.When Audrey Hepburn is mentioned, one thinks of her being beautiful and elegant, of her films, or of how her image is used to recall something immortal and fashionable.But Audrey was also a little girl who saw th...

Imperfectionist Aesthetics in Art and Everyday Life
This book presents interdisciplinary research on the aesthetics of perfection and imperfection. Broadening this growing field, it connects the aesthetics of imperfection with issues in areas including philosophy, music, literature, urban environment, architecture, art theory, and cultural studies. The contributors to this volume argue that imperfection has value in being open and inclusive. The aesthetics of imperfection is typified by organic, unpolished production and the avoidance of perfect finish, instead representing living and natural change, and opposing the consumerist concern with the flawless and pristine. The chapters are divided into seven thematic sections. After the first sect...

Performance Analysis
This collection of essays highlights different questions concerning music theory, interpretation, and performance. Organized into four chapters, the first section looks into interpretation from a hermeneutic perspective, whereas the second analyses the application of this knowledge in musical practice. The discussion turns, in the third part, to a new field of music theory broadly labelled as performance studies. Focused on physical and psychological events, this section broaches fundamental issues such as gesture, bodily movement, expression, emotion, a whole set of processes that act within the framework of performance. The final section addresses the artistic practices in the 21st century across present-day cultural contexts. Proposing a space for reflection in which one tries to imagine the relation between the scientific field and the interpretative process, this volume reflects the central issues of research in performance analysis, establishing connections between different disciplines, methodologies and research trends. It will be of essential interest to researchers, musicians and performers, and music students.
Pratiche e politiche per la salute mentale. «Insieme contro lo stigma»: esperienze e progetti a Roma
Il volume raccoglie una serie di qualificati contributi sulle "buone pratiche" di promozione sociale delle persone con sofferenza mentale nei DSM e sullo stato di servizi per la tutela della salute mentale a Roma. I risultati ottenuti confermano la validità dei percorsi di riabilitazione e di inclusione sociale che riducono drasticamente il ricorso al ricovero e consentono il reinserimento sociale e lavorativo di gran parte delle persone correttamente prese in cura. L'insufficienza dei servizi territoriali, dovuta soprattutto a gravi carenze di personale, limita tuttavia l'intercettazione della sofferenza e l'accesso a tali percorsi favorendo l'abbandono e la cronicizzazione. Ampio spazio v...
