Piciocas. Storie di ex bambine dell'Isola che c'è
Sei autrici sarde, sei mondi ironici, struggenti, pieni di passione. Una narrazione che alterna l’ironia alla nostalgia per quando erano piciocas. Francesco Abate, dopo Piciocus, riunisce sei voci femminili dall’indubbia personalità, per un viaggio in una Sardegna ricca di suggestioni, un mondo che ne racchiude un altro, quello incredibile dell’infanzia. Dall’Isola che c’è si leva un coro di voci femminili, voci di ex piciocas. Un viaggio nelle terre e nelle atmosfere di Sardegna, attraverso l’inconfessabile segreto di quel Ferragosto a Santu Lussurgiu, che Michela Murgia ci svela in una narrazione dall’ironia travolgente, passando poi all’atmosfera struggente di un’estat...
Piciocus. Storie di ex bambini dell’Isola che c’è
Ci sono suggestioni, dettagli, strati di colore e di sapore che appartengono all’infanzia e all’adolescenza di ognuno di noi. Una vacanza leggendaria, un’amicizia perduta, un segreto inconfessabile, un’indimenticabile giornata di fine estate. Sull’onda dei ricordi, con un approccio narrativo che spazia dalla gioiosa leggerezza alla tenera malinconia, cinque autori sardi si confrontano con storie di straordinaria gioventù. Cinque racconti, cinque mondi, cinque avventure nel segno di temi forti e profondi, come la purezza dei sentimenti o l’ineludibile perdita dell’innocenza. L’appartenenza degli scrittori alla stessa realtà territoriale, la Sardegna, rappresenta una sorta di spartiacque. Perché se è vero che tutti siamo stati bambini e ragazzi, è altrettanto vero che pochi possono dire di essere stati «piciocus».
Studies in the Latin Literature and Epigraphy of Italian Fascism
First collected volume dealing with the use of Latin under Fascism This book deals with the use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism (1922–1943). The myth of Rome lay at the heart of Italian Fascist ideology, and the ancient language of Rome, too, played an important role in the regime’s cultural politics. This collection deepens our understanding of ‘Fascist Latinity’, presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number of new avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin in constructing a link between ancient Rome and Fascist Italy; the different social and cultural contexts in which Latin texts functione...

Marx and Haiti
Although modern racism was fully developed by their time, Marx (and Engels) did not engage in a theoretical discussion of its essential features. This analytical silence is investigated in the chapter Marx and Haiti: Notes on a Blank Space. At the same time, the chapters of this volume demonstrate that and why the principles of a historical materialist analysis of society present links for a critical theory of racism. In the chapter Dehumanization and Social Death: Fundamentals of Racism, this is shown concerning the various historical shapes of racisms caused by different forms of class relations. The chapter Racismflq: Birth of a Concept connects the conceptual history of racism with the socio-historical conflicts of differently affected social groups. Finally, the chapter A Historical Materialist Theory of Racism: Introduction addresses basic elements of a Marxist analysis of racism. It elucidates the necessity of a theoretical conjunction of classist and racist discrimination as well as the historical differentiation of racisms.
Naming and Mapping the Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean
Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheist...
The Fractured Voice
Imperial Rome privileged the elite male citizen as one of sound mind and body, superior in all ways to women, noncitizens, and nonhumans. One of the markers of his superiority was the power of his voice, both literal (in terms of oratory and the legal capacity to represent himself and others) and metaphoric, as in the political power of having a "voice" in the public sphere. Muteness in ancient Roman society has thus long been understood as a deficiency, both physically and socially. In this volume, Amy Koenig deftly confronts the trope of muteness in Imperial Roman literature, arguing that this understanding of silence is incomplete. By unpacking the motif of voicelessness across a wide range of written sources, she shows that the Roman perception of silence was more complicated than a simple binary and that elite male authors used muted or voiceless characters to interrogate the concept of voicelessness in ways that would be taboo in other contexts. Paradoxically, Koenig illustrates that silence could in fact be freeing--that the loss of voice permits an untethering from other social norms and expectations, thus allowing a freedom of expression denied to many of the voiced.
Apoptosis and Inflammation
Apoptosis is a form of cell death that occurs in a controlled manner and is generally noninflammatory in nature. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, implies a cell death that is part of a normal physiological process of pruning of unneeded cells. However, many disease conditions utilize apoptosis for pathological ends, resulting in inappropriate cell death and tissue destruction. This book starts with an introduction that reviews the general characteristics of apoptosis, its regulation and its role in physiology and disease. Next, the book focuses on three areas as they relate to inflammatory cells and diseases. The first area consists of chapters on signals for apoptosis important to infla...
