ROSE VIOLATE
Un uomo viene trovato privo di vita a Roma, nelle Catacombe di Sant’Agnese. Contemporaneamente in un luogo simile, altrettanto buio ed oscuro, ma a Napoli, precisamente nell’antica cisterna romana collocata in uno dei percorsi sotterranei della città, emerge dalle acque un altro cadavere, anche questo di sesso maschile. Il mistero è fitto: due omicidi avvenuti negli stessi giorni, ma a oltre duecento chilometri di distanza. Perché due uomini sono stati uccisi e collocati nelle viscere della terra, dove non batte mai il sole? I due eventi criminosi sono in qualche modo collegati? A far luce sulla vicenda viene chiamata Margherita, funzionario di Polizia in servizio a Napoli, che si tro...
Api ferite
Per il commissario Margherita Fortes, la scomparsa misteriosa di don Ciro, prete scomodo soprattutto per la criminalità organizzata, è la classica ciliegina su una torta marcia, fatta di soprusi, di crimini impuniti, di roghi di incendi che avvelenano uomini e avviliscono coscienze. Decisa a far luce su quello che appare come l’ennesimo, sprezzante gesto di chi è convinto di appartenere a un esercito onnipotente e intoccabile, il commissario Fortes, spalleggiata dal fido Abbate – un sagace poliziotto che si rivela fondamentale in ogni situazione difficile –, non si ferma davanti alle pastoie della corruzione dilagante, ai pericoli, alla sensazione di impotenza che indurrebbe chiunqu...

Bodies in the Streets: The Somaesthetics of City Life
Cities are defined by their complex network of busy streets and the multitudes of people that animate them through physical presence and bodily actions that often differ dramatically: elegant window-shoppers and homeless beggars, protesting crowds and patrolling police. As bodies shape city life, so the city’s spaces, structures, economies, politics, rhythms, and atmospheres reciprocally shape the urban soma. This collection of original essays explores the somaesthetic qualities and challenges of city life (in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas) from a variety of perspectives ranging from philosophy, urban theory, political theory, and gender studies to visual art, criminology, and the interdisciplinary field of somaesthetics. Together these essays illustrate the aesthetic, cultural, and political roles and trials of bodies in the city streets.

Images of Colonialism and Decolonisation in the Italian Media
The twentieth century saw a proliferation of media discourses on colonialism and, later, decolonisation. Newspapers, periodicals, films, radio and TV broadcasts contributed to the construction of the image of the African “Other” across the colonial world. In recent years, a growing body of literature has explored the role of these media in many colonial societies. As regards the Italian context, however, although several works have been published about the links between colonial culture and national identity, none have addressed the specific role of the media and their impact on collective memory (or lack thereof). This book fills that gap, providing a review of images and themes that have surfaced and resurfaced over time. The volume is divided into two sections, each organised around an underlying theme: while the first deals with visual memory and images from the cinema, radio, television and new media, the second addresses the role of the printed press, graphic novels and comics, photography and trading cards.
