Food and Emotions in Italian Women's Writing
Food and Emotions in Italian Women’s Writing discusses the relevance of food imagery in the writing of Italian women over a period of one hundred years, from the 1920s to the present day, while offering new ways to narrate women’s history and creativity. In this groundbreaking work, Patrizia Sambuco shows how food imagery in different historical periods challenge established political discourses by conveying unexpressed, alternative, or transgressive emotions. Through literary analysis, archival research, and philosophical approaches to the senses, emotions, and food, the book considers a variety of authors, from the celebrated to the hardly known. Sambuco argues that in different ways, ...
Il soffio dello Spirito
Questo volume costituisce il primo tentativo di scrivere una storia comparata della presenza dei cattolici nelle Resistenze dei vari paesi europei. Basata su un’ampia storiografia in più lingue e sulla rilettura della stampa clandestina, oltre che di svariate testimonianze, la ricostruzione delle vicende di paesi come Francia, Belgio, Paesi Bassi, Germania e Austria, Cecoslovacchia e Polonia consente di presentare ai lettori italiani figure di uomini e donne talvolta sconosciuti persino agli storici specialisti. L’analisi segue il filo del rapporto tra cattolici, fede religiosa e ricorso alla violenza. In questa prospettiva intende contrastare la tentazione ricorrente di applicare ai ca...
Neural Approaches to Dynamics of Signal Exchanges
The book presents research that contributes to the development of intelligent dialog systems to simplify diverse aspects of everyday life, such as medical diagnosis and entertainment. Covering major thematic areas: machine learning and artificial neural networks; algorithms and models; and social and biometric data for applications in human–computer interfaces, it discusses processing of audio-visual signals for the detection of user-perceived states, the latest scientific discoveries in processing verbal (lexicon, syntax, and pragmatics), auditory (voice, intonation, vocal expressions) and visual signals (gestures, body language, facial expressions), as well as algorithms for detecting co...
Utopian Dreams
Utopian Dreams offers one writer's attempt to retreat from the 'real world' - which is making him emptier and angrier by the day - and seek out the alternatives to modern manners and morality. Instead of cynicism, loneliness and depression, is it possible to be idealistic, to find belonging and companionship with others who share your sadness, or even, perhaps, your happiness? With his wife and baby in tow, Jones spends a year with spritualists, time-travellers, reformed drug addicts and Quakers, producing a fascinating exploration of the meaning of community.
Donne guerriere
Le grandi condottiere che hanno cambiato la storia Da Atena a Giovanna d’Arco, dalle aviatrici della seconda guerra mondiale alle combattenti dei giorni nostri Da Giulio Cesare a Napoleone Bonaparte, sono molti i nomi di grandi condottieri e guerrieri conosciuti praticamente da tutti. È grazie a personalità del genere, celebrate dalla storiografia, che tendiamo ad associare l’arte della guerra e le gesta militari alla sfera prettamente maschile; eppure, per quanto spesso poco conosciute, altrettante sono le donne che hanno saputo ritagliarsi il proprio posto nella storia con la forza delle armi. In questo affascinante libro, Matteo Liberti porta alla ribalta le figure femminili che nel...
Italian Women at War
Italian Women at War: Sisters in Arms from Unification to the Twentieth Century offers diverse perspectives on Italian women’s participation in war and conflict throughout Italy’s modern history, contributing to the ongoing scholarly conversation on this topic. Part one of the book focuses on heroines who fought for Italy’s Unification and on the anti-heroines, or brigantesse, who opposed such a momentous change. Part two considers exceptional individuals, such as Eva Kühn Amendola, who combatted both with her body and her pen, as well as collective female efforts during the world wars, whether military or civilian. In part three, where the context is twentieth-century society, the fo...

They’re Not Listening
The election of Donald Trump in America and the referendum on European Union membership in the United Kingdom, otherwise known as Brexit, sent shockwaves throughout the world. Cosmopolitan elites across the globe never saw this populist uprising coming and still do not understand it. People across the globe have been increasingly voting for national-populist politicians over the last twenty years. The current nationalist-populist revolt started long before Donald Trump came down his golden escalator, and even before Prime Minister David Cameron agreed to hold a referendum vote on the EU. It wasn’t isolated to rundown towns in Northern England or the Midwest, and it wasn’t solely because of demographic changes, ignorance, intolerance, or a “whitelash.” It was occurring because the elites chose to ignore voters’ concerns when it came to globalism and neoliberalism. Issues like mass immigration, war, economic inequality, and national sovereignty were sacrosanct to neoliberals, and ultimately, their unwillingness to concede on these issues built discontent among millions of people.
