Posthumanism in Italian Literature and Film
As humans re-negotiate their boundaries with the nonhuman world of animals, inanimate entities and technological artefacts, new identities are formed and a new epistemological and ethical approach to reality is needed. Through twelve thought-provoking, scholarly essays, this volume analyzes works by a range of modern and contemporary Italian authors, from Giacomo Leopardi to Elena Ferrante, who have captured the shift from anthropocentrism and postmodernism to posthumanism. Indeed, this is the first academic volume investigating narrative configurations of posthuman identity in Italian literature and film.

The Years of Alienation in Italy
The Years of Alienation in Italy offers an interdisciplinary overview of the socio-political, psychological, philosophical, and cultural meanings that the notion of alienation took on in Italy between the 1960s and the 1970s. It addresses alienation as a social condition of estrangement caused by the capitalist system, a pathological state of the mind and an ontological condition of subjectivity. Contributors to the edited volume explore the pervasive influence this multifarious concept had on literature, cinema, architecture, and photography in Italy. The collection also theoretically reassesses the notion of alienation from a novel perspective, employing Italy as a paradigmatic case study in its pioneering role in the revolution of mental health care and factory work during these two decades.

Italian Horror Cinema
In its heyday from the late 1950s until the early 1980s Italian horror cinema was characterised by an excess of gore, violence and often incoherent plot-lines. Films about zombies, cannibals and psychopathic killers ensured there was no shortage of controversy, and the genre presents a seemingly unpromising nexus of films for sustained critical analysis. But Italian horror cinema with all its variations, subgenres and filoni remains one of the most recognisable and iconic genre productions in Europe, achieving cult status worldwide. One of the manifestations of a rich production landscape in Italian popular cinema after the Second World War, Italian horror was also characterised by its imitation of foreign models and the transnational dimension of its production agreements, as well as by its international locations and stars.This collection brings together for the first time a range of contributions aimed at a new understanding of the genre, investigating the different phases in its history, the peculiarities of the production system, the work of its most representative directors (Mario Bava and Dario Argento) and the wider role it has played within popular culture.

Biomimetics: Lessons From Nature
Biomimetics: Lessons from Nature is an essay dedicated to the important topic of biomimicry - that is, inspiration from nature - as it relates to design and environmental and social sustainability, as well as issues related to the manufacturing cycle, from the initial phase of product design until final outcome, where there is often very little sustainability or none at all.This book also pays particular attention to today's pressing issues about alternative energy sources and the recycling of waste products from manufacturing activities and normal daily life.The approach is intentionally colloquial, with the aim of making access to these topics more engaging, while fully adhering to correct terminology and scientific reliability.

Freakshow
Su un lontano avamposto spaziale del satellite Europa viene ad allietare la popolazione il circo Korallo, costituito da singolarità bizzarre, un freak show dove creature deformi provenienti da diverse crudeli storie si agitano per strappare un sorriso, un moto di riprovazione, uno sbigottimento in cambio di pochi spiccioli equivalenti al biglietto d'ingresso. A sconvolgere la deprimente situazione nasce tra gli artisti un improvviso credo religioso: Uincio Uancio, che salverà tutti i freak del circo per portarli nel paradiso degli sgorbi. Sarà vero? Chi è questo messia che si profila tra gli infelici malformi? L'entusiasmo che infetta ogni artista del Korallo è coinvolgente e attraversa le lande siderali del mondo di frontiera in cui vi troverete con loro.
