The Quest for the Primordial
Although fifty years passed since the boom of the theories on Japanese national character and considerable academic literature was produced to debunk its ideological tenets, the Nihonjinron still plays a significant role in the mainstream public discourse on Japanese identity. Intellectuals, journalists, policymakers routinely repropose the ever-lasting cliché of Japanese cultural, linguistic, racial uniqueness. In doing so, they adopt a primordialist stance in the narration of Japanese identity, that is a conception of Japanese nation as a primordial entity, located in an original fatherland since immemorial times. Drawing on the writings of Suzuki Takao and Watanabe Shoichi, the book analyses the rhetorical strategies and discursive features supporting essentialist ideas of Japaneseness. At the same time, it highlights the heuristic value of primordialism as an effective descriptor of the nationalist ideology, thus challenging its widespread usage as a category of analysis.
Años ardientes y míticos
Años ardientes y míticos propone un recorrido historiográfico que abarca más de medio siglo (1908-1963) de publicaciones italianas sobre la poesía española de la Edad de Plata (1902-1939). Hasta 1937 se trata de raras traducciones y reseñas que encuentran exiguos espacios en algunas revistas literarias. El año 1938 marca el punto de inflexión entre estas aisladas incursiones hispanófilas y el nacimiento del hispanismo “militante”, bajo el impulso de Carlo Bo y Oreste Macrí. La versión de Bo del “Llanto” lorquiano revela un territorio literario aún todo por explorar que los dos estudiosos eligen también como lugar de investigación meta-crítica en torno a la Poesía, ...
The COVID-19 Pandemic in Asia and Africa
The present publication has been conceived as a critical reflection, in different disciplinary fields, on the social, institutional, and cultural impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and Africa. The issues presented here were first discussed as part of a larger research project at two conferences, held in Rome in June and October 2022. After extensive revision, these results have now been collected as fully developed articles in the current two volumes: the first focuses on the cultural, artistic, and media-related facets of the pandemic; the second on its social and institutional implications. This Volume I examines the effects of the traumatic events brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on various cultural phenomena, artistic expressions, and social media communication, analysing among other themes the creation of new narratives and the modalities of personal and collective responses. The articles cover vast geographical areas, spanning from the Middle East to the Indian Subcontinent and East Asia, and aim at making their multiple visions converge in one compact perspective of empathic connection.

Cinema
The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, Day Watch begins where Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1,000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others. The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact. When a very potent artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for all sides.Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, as it is told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from children's nightmares as a counselor at a girls' summer camp. When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged. Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.
La poesía española del siglo XX en Italia
La poesía española del siglo XX en Italia no propone una mera catalogación de autores, obras, publicaciones secundarias o traducciones de esa materia hispánica en Italia durante el siglo XX, sino una propuesta menos aparatosa y de mayor eficacia orientadora aunque menos taxonómica. Se trata de una visión de conjunto y la mecánica de su proceso, el estudio de la recepción, poniendo además de relieve las líneas de tendencia y procediendo a subrayar aquellos fenómenos más significativos. Estos fenómenos significativos son justamente los que han permitido a la poesía española contemporánea penetrar en la cultura italiana, así como por otra parte se hace preciso observar los fen...

Il mestiere di leggere
Il mestiere di leggere è un saggio lucido, ironico, culturalmente elevato, capace di incuriosire e contemporaneamente far tirare un sospiro di sollievo al lettore meno esperto, a volte intimidito dal pontificare esagerato dei cosiddetti critici. Troppo spesso la letteratura ci costringe a concentrarci sullo scrittore, sulla sua biblioteca, dove viene ritratto, o sulla sua scrivania, per non parlare delle letture d'infanzia e attuali: Rogelio Guedea decide che è giunta l'ora di affrontare la categoria del lettore, perché varia e sempre in evoluzione. L'autore si sofferma sul piacere del lettore, piacere che dovrebbe provocare la lettura, sottolineando come lo stesso libro può diventare buono o cattivo a seconda del momento, del luogo, del nostro stato d'animo. Tanto che, secondo Guedea, sono i libri a cercare il lettore, e spesso li scelgono a caso. Divertente, Il mestiere di leggere affronta la cultura della letteratura con ironia sfrontata, riuscendo contemporaneamente a puntare l'attenzione sui capolavori intramontabili che ancora oggi accompagnano la sua storia.
