Learning through Others
The theory of natural pedagogy provides a model of social learning based on the direct communicative ostensive relation and aimed to the transfer of generic cultural knowledge. The pedagogical transmission of information originates from an explicit manifestation of teaching made by knowledgeable adults, who are naturally inclined to manifestly provide their cultural baggage to naïve conspecifics. The domain of transferable knowledge encompasses artifact functions, novel means actions, first words, gestural symbols, social practices, and rituals. This teaching process can be fast and efficient in virtue of a natural inclination possessed by infants to seek information and decode signals of o...

The Fiume Crisis
Recasting the birth of fascism, nationalism, and the fall of empire after World War I, Dominique Kirchner Reill recounts how the people of Fiume tried to recreate empire in the guise of the nation. The Fiume Crisis recasts what we know about the birth of fascism, the rise of nationalism, and the fall of empire after World War I by telling the story of the three-year period when the Adriatic city of Fiume (today Rijeka, in Croatia) generated an international crisis. In 1919 the multicultural former Habsburg city was occupied by the paramilitary forces of the flamboyant poet-soldier Gabriele D’Annunzio, who aimed to annex the territory to Italy and became an inspiration to Mussolini. Many lo...
Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars
A brilliant, eye-opening work of history that speaks volumes about today’s battles over international trade, immigration, public health and global inequality. Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. International travel, migration, trade, and progressive projects on matters ranging from women’s rights to world peace reached a crescendo. Yet in the same breath, an undercurrent of reaction was growing, one that would surge ahead with the outbreak of war and its aftermath. In Against the World, a sweeping and ambitious work of history, acclaimed scholar Tara Zahra examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics...
Complottisti vulnerabili
Le teorie cospirazioniste non sono solo un elenco di credenze bizzarre, ma ci rivelano molto sul "nostro Io più segreto". Poche cose sono più seducenti di un'opinione pronta e rassicurante, poco importa se assurda. Come ingegnose stampelle, le credenze complottistiche hanno la funzione di sorreggere il traballante incedere lungo un cammino in cui si incontrano pandemie, guerre, cambiamenti climatici. Complottisti vulnerabili intreccia i temi di bias di ragionamento, autoinganno, processi emotivi di base attingendo ai dati della psicologia cognitiva, clinica e sociale e dell'infant research. L'obiettivo è quello di illustrare la "ricetta perfetta" che alimenta la mentalità cospirazionista...
The Developmental Psychology of Personal Identity
Massimo Marraffa and Cristina Meini re-connect the psychology of identity with its philosophical roots in this study. They trace the contemporary problem of the self to John Locke and William James' foundational theories on personal identity. By integrating the philosophy of identity with empirical and neuropsychological research, Marraffa and Meini provide an original synthesis of multidisciplinary conceptions of the self. The Developmental Psychology of Personal Identity builds on Chomsky-inspired developmental psychology, Jean Piaget's constructivism, Lev Vygotskij's sociocultural perspective on development and John Bowlby's attachment theory. In this theoretical framework, the book draws...
Virginio Gayda, the Yugoslav Question and the Italian Irredenta
This is a study of the early writings of Virginio Gayda (1885-1944), a talented but amoral Italian journalist whose career spanned two world wars. A keen observer, prolific writer and propagandist during his stint as the newspaper La Stampa’s special correspondent in Habsburg Vienna, Gayda lent his considerable skills to promote an aggressive foreign policy. No one did more than he to poison relations between the Italian and Yugoslav peoples. His is the story of a respected journalist who chose an ultranationalist path to fascism and international fame. Not uninfluenced by rank careerism and material reward he forsook his roots to embrace the antisemitic “race” laws of 1938 and Italy’s disastrous partnership with Nazi Germany.
Flumen Fiume Rijeka
Fiume rappresenta un laboratorio molto interessante per indagare le variabili che animano la coesistenza delle diversità, le sfide che essa pone, ma anche le potenzialità che da essa derivano, offrendo spunti preziosi per riflettere, a livello ben più ampio, sul futuro dell'Europa. I lavori presentati in questo volume affrontano la realtà fiumana da una prospettiva interdisciplinare, non solo storica quindi, ma anche giuridica, linguistica, letteraria e sociologica. I diversi contributi, concentrati su singole prospettive, restituiscono appieno la ricchezza dell'identità di Fiume e confermano la costante capacità della città di porsi, nel tempo, quale crocevia interculturale d'Europa, in grado di attingere da tutte le sue componenti nazionali, culturali e religiose per forgiare una propria specificità plurale ed aperta.
