Paradoxical Right-Wing Sexual Politics in Europe
How did far-right, hateful and anti-democratic ideologies become so successful in many societies in Europe? This volume analyses the paradoxical roles sexual politics have played in this process and reveals that the incoherence and untruthfulness in right-wing populist, ultraconservative and far-right rhetorics of fear are not necessarily signs of weakness. Instead, the authors show how the far right can profit from its own incoherence by generating fear and creating discourses of crisis for which they are ready to offer simple solutions. In studies on Poland, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Austria, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Portugal, France, Sweden and Russia, the ways far-right ideologies travel and take root are analysed from a multi-disciplinary perspective, including feminist and LGBTQI reactions. Understanding how hateful and antidemocratic ideologies enter the very centre of European societies is a necessary premise for developing successful counterstrategies.
The Transnational Making of Italian Neofascism
This book delves into the evolution of Italian neo-fascism from the end of World War II to the mid-1970s. It examines the transition from historical fascism to neo-fascism, highlighting the survival and adaptation of fascist ideologies within democratic frameworks. This book explores the formation and development of the Italian Social Movement (MSI) and the broader neo-fascist network, emphasising its transnational connections and ideological persistence. Key themes include the escape and reorganisation of former fascists, their influence on post-war Italian politics, and the cultural and ideological debates within the neo-fascist movement. The work also addresses the role of race, anti-communism, and the strategic alliances formed during the Cold War. By tracing the historical and ideological continuities, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of neo-fascism's enduring impact on Italian and global political landscapes. It will be of interest to students and scholars of fascism, political history, and Italian politics.
Activism on the Web
Activism on the Web examines the everyday tensions that political activists face as they come to terms with the increasingly commercialized nature of web technologies and sheds light on an important, yet under-investigated, dimension of the relationship between contemporary forms of social protest and internet technologies. Drawing on anthropological and ethnographic research amongst three very different political groups in the UK, Italy and Spain, the book argues that activists’ everyday internet uses are largely defined by processes of negotiation with digital capitalism. These processes of negotiation are giving rise to a series of collective experiences, which are defined by the tensio...
Ezra Pound, Italy, and the Cantos
Ezra Pound spent most of his life in Italy and wrote about it incessantly in his poetry. Only by following his footsteps, acquaintances and composition processes can we make sense of and enjoy his forbidding Cantos. This study provides for the first time an account of Pound’s Italian wanderings and of what they became in his work. After this study we will be able to read Pound as a guide to the places, people and books he loved, and we will share his the poet traveler’s joys and discoveries.

In accordance with the main purpose of the meeting, senior scientists, postdoctoral investigators and graduate students working in areas of descriptive and experimental embryology, classical, molecular and developmental biology, physiology and biochemistry etc. , were brought together for two weeks as a community with a strong common interest in "development"; that is, the multiple phenomena and mechanisms, in molecular, cellular, genetic and organismic terms, observed in the developmen...
A memoria futura
Questo libro polifonico ripercorre la realizzazione del progetto “La Casa del Rione Sanità. Racconti di orgoglio e di giustizia sociale”. Un’esperienza che si è rivelata seminale per gli strumenti di interpretazione adottati, generando interazione con gli abitanti di una comunità leggendaria, il Rione Sanità, fiero delle proprie maestrie artigianali e capace di inventare piccole e rivoluzionarie storie di partecipazione, famoso in tutto il mondo per la narrazione cinematografica e letteraria. Associazione Italiana di Storia Orale e APS Napoli inVita hanno investito sulla formazione dei narratori di comunità, mappando in modo inedito una collettività animata dalla voglia di riscatto, documentando emozioni, immagini, paesaggi sonori, ordinandoli in un archivio aperto e accessibile. Un patrimonio di storie orali in grado di costituire un processo inedito di autodeterminazione culturale, da coltivare e arricchire. Un nuovo modo di fare storia, per il bene comune, a memoria futura.
I bordelli di Himmler
Nei Bordelli di Himmler si tocca un tema spesso poco approfondito dalla ricerca storica sull’economia di guerra del Terzo Reich: la costruzione di “edifici speciali” destinati agli internati dei campi di concentramento nazisti. Su iniziativa di Heinrich Himmler, le SS introdussero la fruizione del bordello del campo come incentivo per aumentare la produttività dei lavoratori forzati (insieme a razioni extra di cibo, sigarette e altre agevolazioni). A inserirsi in questo sistema c’erano anche le aziende civili: le imprese tedesche, infatti, compravano dalle SS buoni per prestazioni sessuali a pagamento e li distribuivano come gratifica ai lavoratori più meritevoli, che poi li utiliz...
Mediterranean Wild Edible Plants
This book is the result of collaboration between botanists and food chemists, with the purpose of improving the knowledge of the main wild species of traditional use as foods in the Mediterranean area, focus on ethnobotanical aspects, natural production, uses and nutritional aspects. One of the novelties of the book would be the publication of complete food composition tables of more than 40 species, which are not usually included in nutrient databases of foods. Many of the data included comes from the chemical analysis of representative samples of these species and other are compiled from the scientific literature. Since this topic had not been fully studied, this book provides an interesting tool to be used with the purpose of the revalorization of wild food species, preservation of their traditional uses, and also as alternatives to improve the diversity of modern Mediterranean diets.
