Nuovi Argomenti (59)
Alberto Carocci e Alberto Moravia fondano Nuovi Argomenti. «L'idea», ricorderà Moravia, «era quella di creare una rivista di sinistra come "Temps Modernes" di Sartre, la quale avrebbe avuto un'attenzione per la realtà italiana di tipo oggettivo e non lirico». Il bimestrale ha la sua redazione in via dei Due Macelli 47 (segretario di redazione, Giovanni Carocci) e viene stampato presso l'Istituto Grafico Tiberino di Roma. Hanno collaborato: Giuseppe Bertolucci, Sandro Veronesi, Rosetta Loy, Edoardo Albinati, Ester Armanino, Anthony Hecht, Leo Van Bock, Matteo Trevisani, Francesco Longo, Errico Buonanno, Teresa Ciabatti, Alessandro Beretta, Flavia Piccinni, Carlo Mazza Galanti, Bruno Centrone, Arianna Giorgia Bonazzi, Arnaldo Greco, Francesco Formaggi, Matteo Nucci, Lorenzo Pavolini.

Historical Dictionary of Italian Cinema
Italian cinema is now regarded as one of the great cinemas of the world. Historically, however, its fortunes have varied. Following a brief moment of glory in the early silent era, Italian cinema appeared to descend almost into irrelevance in the early1920s. A strong revival of the industry which gathered pace during the 1930s was abruptly truncated by the advent of World War II. The end of the war, however, initiated a renewal as films such as Roma città aperta (Rome Open City), Sciuscià (Shoeshine, 1946), and Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves, 1948), flagbearers of what soon came to be known as Neorealism, attracted unprecedented international acclaim and a reputation that only contin...
Specters of Cavafy
The Greek Alexandrian poet C. P. Cavafy (1863–1933) has been recognized as a central figure in European modernism and world literature. His poetry explored the conditions for animating the past and making lost worlds or people haunt the present. Yet he also described himself as “a poet of the future generations.” Indeed, his writings address concerns and desires that permeate the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How does poetry concerned with the past, memory, loss, and death, carry futurity? How does it haunt, and how is it haunted by, future presents? Specters of Cavafy broaches these questions by proposing spectral poetics as a novel approach to Cavafy’s work. Drawing from th...
Damanhur
The Damanhur Federation, situated in Valchiusella, North-West Italy, is one of Europe’s longest-lasting spiritual-esoteric communities. Nevertheless, there has hitherto been nearly no scientific study of this group, with the exception of a handful of specialised-journal articles. This collection fills that gap by collating the various scholarly contributions which over the years have dealt with Damanhur, aiming to present the phenomenon to a public of specialists, students and people who are just curious in a volume focusing on the multidisciplinary nature of the community as a whole. We consider the various spheres making up the social, cultural, spiritual and organisational life of Damanhur through analysis and interpretation of its historical evolution and more recent changes which have affected the community since its founder’s death. The contributions combine field research with theoretical reflection, making use of both qualitative (discursive interviews and participant observation) and quantitative (questionnaires) methods.

A caccia di libri proibiti
Si parlerà di quei libri perseguitati dai regimi politici, in particolar modo dal Fascismo e dal Nazismo, delle storie che ci sono dietro, del coraggio di chi li ha scritti. Un'attenzione tutta particolare verso le scienze alternative, non ortodosse, che pure hanno prodotto materiale interessante per il collezionista di stranezze. Questi autori temerari hanno sfidato tutte le convenzioni, ricavandone scherno e "scomuniche". I libri sui dischi volanti hanno rappresentato, e tutt'ora, uno spaccato autentico del secolo che ci siamo lasciati alle spalle. Con le loro teorie strampalate ma talvolta argute e con le incredibili storie che vi si celano dietro. Le utopie, le distopie, i mondi fantastici e immaginari della letteratura spesso hanno decretato "perle" assolute. Libri eccezionali che sono scritti in linguaggi impossibili, sconosciuti e pieni di mistero. Anche di queste gemme preziose si parlerà nel libro. Così come dei "microcosmi", da Sherlock Holmes al Mondo Perduto, alle stravaganze letterarie.
Towards the River’s Mouth (Verso la foce), by Gianni Celati
Italian writer and filmmaker Gianni Celati’s 1989 philosophical travelogue Towards the River’s Mouth explores perception, memory, place and space as it recounts a series of journeys across the Po River Valley in northern Italy. The book seeks to document the “new Italian landscape” where divisions between the urban and rural were being blurred into what Celati terms “a new variety of countryside where one breathes an air of urban solitude.” Celati traveled by train, by bus, and on foot, at times with photographer Luigi Ghirri, at others exploring on his own without predetermined itineraries, taking notes on the places he encountered, watching and listening to people in stations, ...
Bergoglio's List
A Dictator. An Uprising. A Priest Who Saved Lives. In 1976 when Fr. Jorge Bergoglio was just 39 years old and serving as provincial superior of the Jesuits of Argentina, the military overthrew the government in a coup. The dictatorship went to work against subversives and communist adversaries through abductions, tortures, and even murders resulting in the disappearance of about 30,000 people. Scavo uncovers how Bergoglio built an elaborate network consisting of clandestine passageways, secret hideouts, and covert automobile rides, all in attempt to save what has been estimated at more than 100 people. Bergoglio’s List is a collection of personal stories of the now-Pope of those who knew him during the days of the dictatorship, including: • three students hidden for weeks by Fr. Bergoglio • how he saved a prominent, dissident politician under the cover of darkness • his bold march into an Argentine prison • and much more For the first time in English, experience not only the untold story of Bergoglio’s courage and heroism, but gain an insider’s view of the place where he was born and grew into the man we now know as Pope Francis.
