Critique of Pure Nature
This book challenges the Western contemporary “praise for Nature”. From food to body practices, from ecological discourses to the Covid-19 pandemic, contemporary imaginaries abound with representations of an ideal “pure Nature”, essentially defined according to a logic of denial of any artificial, modified, manipulated — in short, cultural — aspect. How should we contextualise and understand such an opposition, especially in light of the rich semantic scope of the term “nature” and its variability over time? And how can we — if we actually can — envisage alternative models and approaches capable of better accounting for such richness and variability? The author addresses ...
Decolonising the Mediterranean
Decolonising the Mediterranean means, first and foremost, investigating how the legacy of colonial rule over bodies and land has been used by other entities and powers to impose new forms of hegemony after the fall of empires and European powers. It means denouncing and dissecting the tools employed in the production of new geometries of power in the global Mediterranean, as well as in the farthest, most recondite corners of the Mediterranean World. Decolonising the Mediterranean is an epistemological practice of border dismantling and scrutiny of the ways in which powers overlap and intertwine. The multiplication of the border is investigated in this volume from an in-between position, name...
Morphology and Systematics (Elateroidea, Bostrichiformia, Cucujiformia partim)
Dieses Buch ist der zweite von vier Bänden der Reihe "Handbuch der Zoologie", die die Systematik, Morphologie und Biologie der Coleoptera behandeln. Die Bände beantworten alle Fragen zu Phylogenese, Evolution und Ökologie der Coleoptera. Der zweite Band umfasst die Unterordnungen Elateroidea, Bostrichiformia und Cucujiformia zum Teil. Er informiert über weltweite Verbreitung, Biologie, Morphologie aller Lebensabschnitte (einschließlich Anatomie) und Phylogenese und liefert Erläuterungen zur Taxonomie. Die morphologischen Abhandlungen sind besonders detailliert illustriert und enthalten SEM-Bilder, Zeichnungen und Habitus-Darstellungen.
Australian Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Volume 1
Longhorn Beetles — Cerambycidae are one of the most easily recognised groups of beetles, a family that worldwide encompasses over 33,000 species in 5,200 genera. With over 1,400 species classified in 300 genera, this is the sixth largest among 117 beetle families in Australia. These beetles often attack and kill living forest or orchard trees and develop in construction timber (like European House borer, introduced to WA), causing serious damages. Virtually all Cerambycidae feed on living or dead plant tissues and play a significant role in all terrestrial environments where plants are found. Larvae often utilise damaged or dead trees for their development, and through feeding on rotten wo...

Entomologica Fennica
The journal will publish principally Finnish entomological investigations on ecology, faunistics, behavior and systematics of insects and other terrestrial arthropods.
Il senso delle soggettività
In un convegno dedicato alle Soggettività un laboratorio sul silenzio non poteva mancare: nel silenzio verso l’esterno si sviluppa infatti la percezione di sé e il dialogo con se stessi, condizioni per il costituirsi di quello spazio intimo denominato nella nostra cultura “interiorità”. Roland Barthes racconta che gli accadde quando da giovane, affetto da tubercolosi, trascorse dei periodi in sanatorio, dove per l’appunto era prescritta la cura del silenzio: passare alcune ore della giornata, in solitudine, a riposo o leggendo, senza parlare. Cura probabilmente ispirata alle regole monastiche, che ritroviamo in forma mitigata anche nelle prime classi di scuola (almeno, nei ricordi di chi scrive). Il silenzio, dunque, come forma più o meno radicale di ritiro simbolico dal mondo, dalla sua chiacchiera e dal suo esserci, avrebbe detto Heidegger: prove tecniche di meditazione sull’autenticità dell’essere (Isabella Pezzini)
