Tematiche del "sottosuolo" nella letteratura e cultura italiane
I tredici saggi raccolti in questo volume focalizzano la dimensione del 'sottosuolo' nella cultura contemporanea, quando ipogei, bassifondi, zone oscure e nascoste della realtà assumono una funzione differente rispetto al pensiero della classicità. L'età moderna sembra infatti ribaltare il mito platonico, configurando la caverna come luogo della vita effettiva, per quanto squallida, dolorosa, opprimente, mentre il mondo di superficie è zona del traviamento e dell’illusione; anzi nel mondo ctonio la vista, cieca agli stimoli esterni, acquista una maggiore profondità ed acutezza. A questo proposito Remo Cantoni, nel saggio Crisi dell’uomo. Il pensiero di Dostoevskij (1948/1975), affer...
ESCRITORAS ITALIANAS INÉDITAS EN LA QUERELLA DE LAS MUJERES: TRADUCCIONES EN OTROS IDIOMAS, PERSPECTIVAS Y BALANCES VOLUMEN I
Esta edición representa la ocasión de evaluar y difundir los resultados de las diferentes investi-gaciones, plantear nuevas posibilidades de proyectos y colaboraciones entre diferentes univer-sidades e investigadores, y finalmente crear Redes Internacionales de cooperación científico-técnica y de innovación. Uno de los objetivos específicos que la obra se propone es re-flexionar sobre textos de autores y autoras del pasado y utilizarlos como herramientas para pro-fundizar en temas relacionados con la igualdad cultural entre hombres y mujeres, y sobre cuestiones como la violencia en todas sus variantes, las nuevas masculinidades,... Contemporáneamente, se quiere dar a conocer traducci...
This Dark Country
Shortlisted for the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize 2022 Longlisted for the William M B Berger Prize for British Art History 2022 Guardian Art Book of the Year 2021 A dazzling, boldly original work that tells the powerful and passionate stories of a group of extraordinary women as glimpsed through their still life paintings What is contained in a still life – and what falls out of the frame? For women artists in the early twentieth century, such as Dora Carrington, Vanessa Bell and Gwen John, this art form was a conduit for their lives, their rebellions, their quietly subversive loves for men and women. But for every artist whom we remember, there are those whose work is almost forgotten. In This Dark Country, Rebecca Birrell conducts a dazzling fusion of group biography and art criticism, exploring, from the celebrated to the overlooked, the structures of intimacy that make – and dismantle – our worlds. 'A brilliant book ... A truly radical aesthetics fit for the twenty-first century at last!' - Thérèse Oulton '[A] wonderful book. I am impressed and fascinated. It is beautifully written' - Celia Paul

Spoils of the Kingdom
In Spoils of the Kingdom, Anson Shupe investigates clergy misconduct as it has recently unfolded across five faith-based groups. Looking at episodes of abuse in the Roman Catholic, Mormon, African American Protestant, white Evangelical Protestant, and First Nations communities, Spoils of the Kingdom tackles hard questions not only about the sexual abuse of women and children, but also about economic frauds perpetrated by church leaders (including embezzlement, mis-represented missions, and outright theft) as well as cases of excessively authoritarian control of members’ health, lifestyles, employment, and politics. Drawing on case evidence, Shupe employs classical and modern social exchange theories to explain the institutional dynamics of clergy misconduct. He argues that there is an implicit contract of reciprocity and compliance between congregants and religious leaders that, when amplified by the charismatic awe often associated with religious authorities, can lead to misconduct.
Protein-based Engineered Nanostructures
This book is devoted to the engineering of protein-based nanostructures and nanomaterials. One key challenge in nanobiotechnology is to be able to exploit the natural repertoire of protein structures and functions to build materials with defined properties at the nanoscale using “bottom-up” strategies. This book addresses in an integrated manner all the critical aspects that need to be understood and considered to design the next generation of nano-bio assemblies. The book covers first the fundamentals of the design and features of the protein building blocks and their self-assembly illustrating some of the most relevant examples of nanostructural design. Finally, the book contains a section dedicated to demonstrated applications of these novel bioinspired nanostructures in different fields from hybrid nanomaterials to regenerative medicine. This book provides a comprehensive updated review of this rapidly evolving field.
