A Companion to Antonio Gramsci
In A Companion to Antonio Gramsci some of the most important Italian scholars of Gramsci’s thought realize an intellectual account of the Gramscian historiography. The volume is organized into five parts. In the first, an updated reconstruction of his biographical events is offered. The second part provides three different perspectives permitting an analysis of the ideas and theories of history which emerge from Gramsci’s writings. In the third section as well as the fourth section, the most explicitly political themes are considered. Finally, in the last part the timelines of twentieth century historiography in Italy are traced and a picture is painted of the reasons for the development of the principal problems surrounding the international literary output on Gramsci. Contributors include: Alberto Burgio, Davide Cadeddu, Giuseppe Cospito, Angelo d’Orsi, Michele Filippini, Guido Liguori, Marcello Montanari, Vittorio Morfino, Stefano Petrucciani, Michele Prospero, Leonardo Rapone, Giuseppe Vacca, and Marzio Zanantoni.
Gramsci and Languages
Winner of the prestigious 'Giuseppe Sormani International Prize' for the best monograph on Antonio Gramsci (4th edition, 2012-2017). Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) is one of the most translated Italian authors of all time. After the Second World War his thought became increasingly influential, and remained relevant throughout the second half of the century. Today, it is generally agreed that his Marxism has highly original and personal features, as confirmed by the fact that his international influence has continued to grow since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Gramsci and Languages offers an explanation of this originality and traces the origins of certain specific features of Gramsci’s political thought by looking at his lifelong interest in language, especially in questions of linguistic diversity and unification.
Gramsci
Una nuova biografia di Antonio Gramsci, condotta alla luce delle tante, importanti acquisizioni documentali degli ultimi due decenni. Una biografia che è attenta soprattutto agli aspetti intellettuali e politici della complessa personalità di Gramsci, ma non trascura l’universo affettivo in cui si colloca la breve esistenza di questo personaggio che è oggi l’autore italiano più studiato nel mondo. Il libro, diviso in quattro parti, ciascuna corrispondente a un ben preciso periodo della vita di Gramsci, si snoda secondo una narrazione lineare ma che mostra di volta in volta le riprese che Gramsci farà in epoche successive di spunti che lancia nei diversi periodi, tra la Sardegna nati...
Gramsci Contested: Interpretations, Debates, and Polemics, 1922--2012
A major review of all of the many strands of Gramsci interpretation from the earliest writings of his contemporaries through to the academic debates of the 2010s.
Women and the Reinvention of the Political
This is the first in-depth study of the feminist movement that swept Italy during the "long 1970s" (1968-1983), and one of the first to use a combination of oral history interviews and newly-released archive sources to analyze the origins, themes, practices and impacts of "second-wave" feminism. While detailing the local and national contexts in which the movement operated, it sees this movement as transnationally connected. Emerging in a society that was both characterized by traditional gender roles, and a microcosm of radical political projects in the wake of 1968, the feminist movement was able to transform the lives of thousands of women, shape gender identities and roles, and provoke p...
Women and Men in Love
It has often been assumed that Europeans invented and had the exclusive monopoly over courtly and romantic love, commonly considered to be the highest form of relations between men and women. This view was particularly prevalent between 1770 and the mid-twentieth century, but was challenged in the 1960s when romantic love came to be seen as a universal sentiment that can be found in all cultures in the world. However, there remains the historical problem that the Europeans used this concept of love as a fundamental part of their self-image over a long period (traces of it still remain) and it became very much caught up in the concept of marriage. This book challenges the underlying Eurocentrism of this notion while exploring in a more general sense the connection between identity and emotions.

Il lavoro dopo il Novecento. Da produttori ad attori sociali
Il volume, cui hanno collaborato ben trentaquattro studiosi ed esponenti sindacali, ha un duplice scopo: riproporre, nell’attuale fase di trasformazioni sociali e incertezze teoriche, le analisi e le tesi sul significato umano e politico del lavoro contenute nel principale libro di Bruno Trentin, La città del lavoro (II ed., Firenze University Press, 2014); e, nella convinzione che le pagine composte nel 1997 da uno dei massimi esponenti della storia della Cgil rappresentino un ‘classico’ del pensiero politico-sociale del Novecento, promuovere una riflessione che ne saggi la fecondità e attualità al fine di un approfondimento dei processi che hanno aperto il XXI secolo. Il risultato che emerge, per molti versi sorprendente, è la straordinaria ricchezza e capacità di indirizzo politico e sindacale del progetto di Trentin.
