The Art of Cistercian Persuasion in the Middle Ages and Beyond
Focusing on the theory and practice of Cistercian persuasion, the articles gathered in this volume offer historical, literary critical and anthropological perspectives on Caesarius of Heisterbach’s Dialogus Miraculorum (thirteenth century), the context of its production and other texts directly or indirectly inspired by it. The exempla inserted by Caesarius into a didactic dialogue between a monk and a novice survived for many centuries and travelled across the seas thanks to rewritings and translations into vernacular languages. An accomplished example of the art of persuasion —medieval and early modern— the Dialogus Miraculorum establishes a link not only between the monasteries, the mendicant circles and other religious congregations but also between the Middle Ages and Modernity, the Old and the New World. Contributors are: Jacques Berlioz, Elisa Brilli, Danièle Dehouve, Pierre-Antoine Fabre, Marie Formarier, Jasmin Margarete Hlatky, Elena Koroleva, Nathalie Luca, Brian Patrick McGuire, Stefano Mula, Marie Anne Polo de Beaulieu, Victoria Smirnova, and Anne-Marie Turcan-Verkerk.
From zero to hero
In daily encounters on TV, press editorials and news reports, the only reason seeming to compel insiders is their circulation or audience. Everyone else turns a blind eye to it. Nobody cares about knowing that the higher the audience, the more links to Twitter there’ll be or that the more likes on Facebook there’ll be, the seeds of gratuitous violence are more effectively sown. This is called emulation or, in the psychopathology of communication, the “Werther effect”. Our society is full of frustrated individuals who ascribe their own failings to the world around them and it may be the case that some marginalised people regard themselves as being rather low on the social scale and therefore choose to give themselves hero status, worthy of the newspaper front pages. Consequently, they may happen to take action by seizing a firearm in search of verification of them transforming their empty existence into stuff of legend, giving enough to take about for days, months and years to come. Such a breakthrough, from zero to hero! Translator: Rhys Llwyd PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
The Promise of Francis
With more than four decades of firsthand experience reporting from Vatican City, David Willey explores the religious and personal background of Pope Francis and his ability to fulfill the promises of reform made during the first two years of his papacy. Sex crimes and cover-ups, financial scandal, declining membership, and the unprecedented resignation of its chief executive, Pope Benedict XVI. These were the ingredients of a twenty-first century crisis in the Vatican—a crisis that might have anticipated the election of a steadily conservative pope, a career bureaucrat, and an insider. An operator. Instead they chose Francis. Using his unparalleled access and knowledge of the inner working...
Trending Now: New Developments in Fashion Studies
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. This volume includes a selection of papers presented at the Fourth Inter-Discplinary.net conference, Fashion: Exploring Critical Issues, held at Oxford University’s Mansfield College in September 2012. The chapters offer a wide range of disciplinary perspectives to the field of fashion studies. They include analyses of collective and individual identity, global and local expressions, nationalism, modes of self-presentation, sustainability and ethical fashion, developments in the luxury markets, and various theoretical and conceptual considerations. Its authors seek to challenge and contribute to commonly held understandings in fashion related to power dynamics in the fashion industry, representations of gender and class, fashion’s historiography, art and fashion, socio-political considerations, fashion as material culture, and fashion across media, from literature, to music and dance. The goal of this collection is to advance knowledge in the field of fashion studies and to expand upon current socio-cultural understandings of what constitutes the ‘fashion world.’

This book provides an overview of the new political possibilities and risks present in today’s society, which has seen a global collapse of confidence and inefficient democracy-oligarchies.

In the book, expired democracies are challenged in the face of the new possibilities that technology opens up. This is the first book to offer new, e-political models for the resolution of our global chaos.

Contro la paura
La paura oggi è uno stato permanente indotto all’intera popolazione mondiale. Ebola, aviaria, Isis, terrorismo militare e cibernetico, guerre, miserie e pestilenze. Quali sono le loro storie? Come sono state utilizzate e per quali fini? È l’elemento più evidente, diffuso e contagioso che affligge il nostro tempo: la paura. La credevamo scomparsa con i secoli bui e invece è più viva che mai. Paura del jihadista della porta accanto, paura dell’invasione di migranti, paura dei vaccini o dell’ ebola e dell’aviaria, paura della crisi e della povertà. Come siamo arrivati fin qui? E come uscire da quest’età dell’incertezza? Per rispondere a queste domande cruciali per la nostra...
