O novo século
Autor de 'A era dos extremos', obra fundamental para a compreensão do século XX, o historiador Eric Hobsbawm olha agora para o futuro em entrevista ao jornalista italiano Antonio Polito. O que nos reserva este novo século que estamos começando a viver? Como serão as novas guerras? De que maneira resolveremos problemas como a degradação do ambiente e o explosivo crescimento demográfico? Com a lucidez e a erudição que fizeram dele um dos mais renomados historiadores vivos, Hobsbawm reflete sobre essas e outras perguntas e mostra como pensar os novos tempos.

Troilo. A Theory of Everything
Writing about Troilo over a century after his birth and nearly fifty years after his death implies a certainty: the artist, who performed with him, in all but a few cases, no longer exist. That vast absence compels us to seek Troilo where he never left: the music. “Troilo: Biography of Argentina” is a music book, but also a precise and rigorous painting of a mobilized, vigorous and encompassing country where culture –and tango– were in the spotlight. It might well be read as a text that uncovers the keys of growth and decline of Argentina
NeoLiberal Scotland
Neoliberal Scotland argues that far from passing Scotland by, as is so often claimed, neoliberalism has in fact become institutionalised there. As the mainstream political parties converge on market-friendly policies and business interests are equated with the public good, the Scottish population has become more and more distanced from the democratic process, to the extent that an increasing number now fail to vote in elections. This book details for the first time these negative effects of neoliberal policies on Scottish society and takes to task those academics and others who either defend the neoliberal order or refuse to recognise that it exists. Neoliberal Scotland represents both an in...
The Cambridge Companion to Tango
Tango music rapidly became a global phenomenon as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, with about 30% of gramophone records made between 1903 and 1910 devoted to it. Its popularity declined between the 1950s and the 1980s but has since risen to new heights. This Companion offers twenty chapters from varying perspectives around music, dance, poetry, and interdisciplinary studies, including numerous visual and audio illustrations in print and on the accompanying webpages. Its multidisciplinary approach demonstrates how different disciplines intersect through performative, historical, ethnographic, sociological, political, and anthropological perspectives. These thematic continuities illuminate diverse international perspectives and highlight how the art form flourished in Argentina, Uruguay and abroad, while tracing its international and cultural impact over the last century. This book is an innovative resource for scholars and students of tango music, particularly those seeking a diverse international perspective on the subject.
Disarming Beauty
In 2005, Father Julián Carrón became the leader of the global ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, following the death of the movement's founder, Father Luigi Giussani. Disarming Beauty is the English translation of an engaging and thought-provoking collection of essays by one of the principal Catholic leaders and intellectuals in the world today. Adapted from talks given by Fr. Carrón, these essays have been thoroughly reworked by the author to offer an organic presentation of a decade-long journey. They present the content of his elaboration of the gospel message in light of the tradition of Fr. Giussani, the teachings of the popes, and the urgent needs of contemporary people. C...
In fondo a destra
L'ultimo ventennio della Destra al potere si è risolto in un fallimento. Quella particolarissima forma politica che è stata il berlusconismo ha concluso il suo ciclo di governo, e nessuno sa se ci sarà un'altra Destra a prenderne il posto. A differenza di tutti gli altri Paesi europei, infatti, in Italia una Destra non è mai veramente esistita dall'Unità d'Italia fino al 1994. Ma qual è il motivo di questa anomalia? Perché siamo l'unico Paese occidentale a non avere conosciuto per più di un secolo una vera alternanza? Con una analisi nuova, documentata e non senza sorprese, Polito risponde a queste domande affondando la sua ricerca nella lunga e sofferta storia del trasformismo all'i...
