Il paradiso degli interstizi
Francesco e Giovanni, colleghi universitari ai tempi degli studi, si ritrovano dopo oltre vent’anni a lavorare nello stesso Dipartimento in cui si erano formati. È il secondo martedì del mese e, come di consueto, il Consiglio di Dipartimento si riunisce per deliberare. Un evento inaspettato stravolgerà la routine del Consiglio modificando per sempre l'equilibrio delle esistenze dei due amici decennali. Un testo di narrativa, con affascinanti contorni fenomenologici, che conduce il lettore a interrogarsi sugli effimeri confini tra reale e immaginario, sul dramma tra l'essere e il desiderio di essere qualcos'altro. E in questa continua tensione, c'è chi vive anelando perennemente al sogn...
Postmortal Society
Throughout history mankind has struggled to reconcile itself with the inescapability of its own mortality. This book explores the themes of immortality and survivalism in contemporary culture, shedding light on the varied and ingenious ways in which humans and human societies aspire to confront and deal with death, or even seek to outlive it, as it were. Bringing together theoretical and empirical work from internationally acclaimed scholars across a range of disciplines, Postmortal Society offers studies of the strategies adopted and means available in modern society for trying to ‘cheat’ death or prolong life, the status of the dead in the modern Western world, the effects of beliefs t...

The Long Night of Dark Intent
The Cuban Revolution of 1959 was a benchmark of triumph and a harbinger of tragedy to come. Rather than herald a new era of Cuba joining the world community of nations as a paragon of democracy as many fervently hoped and believed it would, it became instead a new stage in authoritarian rule in the Western hemisphere.For more than a half century since then Cuba has been defined by the capacity of a single family to command and determine the fate of a nation?and to do so with a minimum of opposition. Incredibly, even those professing adhesion to democratic norms have been ready to forgive the dictator his excesses. This volume explains the theory and practice of this absence of internal oppos...
Filosofia e fantascienza. Spazi, tempi e mondi altri
«L’uomo, senza utopia, precipita nell’inferno di una quotidianità che lo espropria di ogni significato e lo uccide poco a poco; ma non appena mette mano alla realizzazione di quella utopia, al tempo stesso prepara le condizioni per una quotidianità sempre più atroce». Così, più di vent’anni fa, il matematico, mediattivista e futurologo prematuramente scomparso nel 2013 Antonio Caronia (1996, p. 58), riassumeva il nesso inscindibile che lega, come in un inquietante nastro di Moebius, le utopie alle distopie.
The Digital Revolution
'A must-read to anyone interested in the digital world.' - Valérie Schafer, Center for Contemporary and Digital History, University of Luxembourg A concise history of the digital revolution and the lore, rhetoric, and debates that surround it. The Digital Revolution aims to tell a story, one of the most powerful ideologies of recent decades: that digitalization constitutes a revolution, a break with the past, a radical change for the human beings who are living through it. The book aims to investigate the origins of this idea, how it evolved, which other past revolutions consciously or unconsciously inspired it, which great stories it has conveyed over time, which of its key elements have changed and which ones have persisted and have been repeated in different historical periods. All these discussions, large or small, have settled and condensed into a series of media, advertising, corporate, political, and technical sources. Readers will be introduced to new, previously unpublished historical sources. The main aim of the book is to deconstruct what looks like a “natural” and incontestable idea and to help rethink digital societies today.

Aporie dell’integrazione europea: tra universalismo umanitario e sovranismo
[Italiano]: Aporie dell’integrazione europea: tra universalismo umanitario e sovranismo è frutto di un percorso di studio e di ricerca che ha coinvolto studiosi afferenti all’Università di Évora e al Centro de Investigação em Ciência Política (CICP) in Portogallo e studiosi del DSU della Federico II di Napoli e di altre prestigiose università italiane. Il volume articolato in tre sezioni, affronta con un approccio interdisciplinare, la tensione tra l’universalismo – inteso tanto come principio filosofico proprio della tradizione culturale occidentale, quanto come principio giuridico-politico che è alla base del processo di integrazione – e il principio di sovranità che in...
