Contested Spaces Concerted Projects
European cultural heritage is inherently complex and layered. In the past, conflicting or controversial perspectives on different historical memories and experiences have been colliding in the rich cultural landscape of Europe and continue to do so in the present. Contemporary projects of re-activation of contentious spaces seem to challenge both the traditional design parameters and the role of spatial practitioners. They require new strategies that effectively mix top-down and bottom-up impulses, through a new design approach that is still in search of a clear definition. Contested Spaces, Concerted Projects collects the stories of some selected cases of difficult built heritage, in order to highlight the most innovative methodologies of re-activation, by which architects, artists, designers and collectives have developed new participatory public interfaces.
Global Mobilities
Global Mobilities illustrates the significant engagement of museums and archives with populations that have experienced forced or willing migration: emigrants, exiles, refugees, asylum seekers, and others. The volume explores the role of public institutions in the politics of integration and cultural diversity, analyzing their efforts to further the inclusion of racial and ethnic minority populations. Emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural knowledge and exchange, global case studies examine the conflicts inherent in such efforts, considering key issues such as whether to focus on origins or destinations, as well as whether assimilation, integration, or an entirely new model would be the most effective approach. This collection provides an insight into diverse perspectives, not only of museum practitioners and scholars, but also the voices of artists, visitors, undocumented immigrants, and other members of source communities. Global Mobilities is an often provocative and thought-inspiring resource which offers a comprehensive overview of the field for those interested in understanding its complexities.

Riqualificazione architettonica dell'ambiente costruito
L’architettura, l’urbanistica e la pianificazione territoriale hanno guidato e accompagnato nella storia i processi di trasformazione dell’aspetto e del modo di abitare. Nelle moderne città, capisaldi di sistemi territoriali dalle caratteristiche geo-morfologiche e architettoniche definite ma insieme nodi relazionali interconnessi che trascendono lo spazio fisico e tangibile, coesistono spinte al cambiamento e tendenze al radicamento. In tale contesto, una politica di intervento programmato per la riqualificazione dei sistemi tecnologico-edilizi degli edifici diventa una necessità all’interno di una strategia di valorizzazione del patrimonio immobiliare e del tessuto urbano. Il testo riporta esempi teorici e pratici di metodi, tecniche e strategie di riqualificazione e valorizzazione degli immobili e dei tessuti urbani elaborati da docenti e ricercatori del Politecnico di Milano.

Reel Women
In the last several decades, the number of films featuring female protagonists has increased significantly. Many of these films reflect the vast cultural and sociological changes that have taken place since the early 1960s, highlighting not only a wide spectrum of female characters depicted onscreen, but the creative work of women behind the camera as well. In Reel Women: An International Directory of Contemporary Feature Films about Women, media librarian Jane Sloan has assembled an impressive list of more than 2400 films—from nearly 100 countries—that feature female protagonists. Each entry includes a brief description of the film and cites key artistic personnel, particularly female d...
