Identidades sociales y memoria colectiva en el arte contemporáneo andaluz
El objetivo de esta obra es presentar los discursos elaborados por una selección de artistas contemporáneos andaluces sobre las identidades sociales y la memoria colectiva que intentan paliar la escasa consideración que recibe el arte como una de las posibles y valiosas aportaciones al debate social. Con ello, pretenden también dar mayor visibilidad y conocimiento de aquella parte de la creación artística andaluza que trata aspectos relacionados con la memoria o con las identidades, paso necesario para que se considere con más convicción el arte como un agente socialmente activo y potencialmente partícipe.
The UK
Il libro, interamente in inglese, è pensato per un corso di lingua da due moduli (sei crediti) nelle lauree triennali. Ciascuna unità didattica fornisce agli studenti gli strumenti per esercitarsi su una forma o struttura grammaticale e contiene testi in cui compaiono termini ricorrenti in una pluralità di linguaggi specialistici. Integrando il metodo comunicativo con testi costruiti intorno a temi storici o di attualità , il volume intende combinare lo studio di nozioni grammaticali di base e avanzate con la trasmissione di informazioni sulla geografia umana e storica, le istituzioni, la società , l'economia e il dibattito politico nella Gran Bretagna contemporanea.

Music in the Art of Renaissance Italy, 1420-1540
The first detailed survey of the representation of music in the art of Renaissance Italy, opening up new vistas within the social and culture history of Italian music and art in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
Sophists
From Socrates and Plato onwards, the Sophists were often targeted by the authoritative philosophical tradition as being mere charlatans and poor teachers. This book, translated and significantly updated from its most recent Italian version (2nd edition, 2013), challenges these criticisms by offering an overall interpretation of their thought, and by assessing the specific contributions of thinkers like Protagoras, Gorgias and Antiphon. A new vision of the Sophists emerges: they are protagonists and agents of fundamental change in the history of ancient philosophy, who questioned the grounds of morality and politics, as well as the nature of knowledge and language. By shifting the focus from the cosmos to man, the Sophists inaugurate an alternative form of philosophy, whose importance is only now becoming clear.
The Foundations of Economic Policy
Recent developments in public economics have largely been in the direction of reaffirming the limits of the market and of establishing new ones. The possible existence of fundamental non-convexities, imperfect and asymmetric information, incentive compatibility, imperfect competition, strategic complementarity, and scale economies led to the conclusion that a large set of market failures exist; such situations also imply government failure. Acocella, considers this complicated picture and provides a discussion of the different approaches to establishing social 'rankings' of the possible situations and the underlying principles. The arguments for and against different institutions are then analysed at a micro and macroeconomic level. The market and the government are recognised as imperfect, and thus complementary, institutions. Specific policy targets and instruments are considered in the areas of micro and macro-economic policy. Special attention is devoted to questions of policy management in an open economy. Finally, problems of domestic and international policy co-ordination are considered.
Maxims and Reflections (Ricordi)
Review: "Unlike Machiavelli-inveterate dreamer and cynic-Guicciardini's mind is remarkable for the balance and masterly coolness of its judgment."-Federico Chabod "In the history of Renaissance thought, Guicciardini's Ricordi occupy a place of singular importance. Few works of the sixteenth century allow us so penetrating an insight into the views and sentiments of its author as these reflections of the great Italian historian. . . . Like Machiavelli's Prince, the Ricordi form one of the outstanding documents of a time of crisis and transition; but unlike the Prince, they range over a wide field of private as well as public life. In doing so, they revel the man as well as the political theorist."-Nicolai Rubenstein, from the Introduction.
