Marvel Cinematic Universe. Racconti dal Multiverso
Dalla narrazione transmediale all’analisi dei singoli personaggi, dalle strategie industriali ai generi di riferimento, dall’immaginario del cinema a quello delle culture digitali, questo libro analizza da più punti di vista il complesso fenomeno che oggi conosciamo come “Marvel Cinematic Universe”. I diversi saggi che compongono il testo sono impreziositi da illustrazioni originali realizzate da artisti professionisti.
Blade Runner. Un sogno dal futuro
Che cos’è Blade Runner, se non la magnifica allucinazione psichedelica che, da quel fatidico 1982, ha cambiato per sempre la storia del cinema e dell’immaginario culturale? Sia il film diretto da Ridley Scott sia il sequel di Denis Villeneuve formano un contenitore di tante, diverse e ugualmente necessarie idee di mondo, di visione e di scrittura. Attraverso saggi, schede, profili, immagini e interviste ai registi, questa pubblicazione, pensata dalla redazione di “Sentieri Selvaggi”, immediatamente dopo aver visto Blade Runner 2049, dialoga con il culto e con l’eredità, per certi versi anche ingombrante, rappresentata dal primo capitolo. Allo stesso tempo vuole scommettere sulle qualità del secondo, intercettandone gli stimoli romantici, estetici, teorici, produttivi e inevitabilmente seriali.
Da zero a mille

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine: Rising Stars 2022
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine “Rising Stars” article collection. This collection showcases the high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. All Rising Star researchers were individually nominated by the Chief Editors of the Journal in recognition of their potential to influence the future directions in their respective fields. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of cardiovascular medicine, including the elucidation of fundamental biology, the development of novel diagnostics or therapeutics, computational modelling approaches, and bioengineering strategies for regeneration.
New Metropolitan Perspectives
The book aims to face the challenge of post-COVID-19 dynamics toward green and digital transition, between metropolitan and return to villages’ perspectives. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools, within the urban–rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities. The book focuses on six topics: inner and marginalized areas local development to re-balance territorial inequalities; knowledge and innovation ecosystem for urban regeneration and resilience; metropolitan cities and territorial dynamics; rules, governance, economy, society; green buildings, post-carbon city and ecosystem services; infrastructures and spatial information systems; cultural heritage: conservation, enhancement and management.

«Raccogliere, pubblicare, illustrare carte». Editori ed edizioni di documenti medievali in Lombardia tra Otto e Novecento
Un lungo Settecento, in diretta continuità con la tradizione erudita e il metodo editoriale muratoriano, e un brevissimo Ottocento, racchiuso fra il primo decennio postunitario e le soglie della Grande guerra, quando l’avvento di una nuova e professionalizzata generazione di studiosi (Bonelli, Vittani, Torelli, Manaresi) imporrà anche in Lombardia una svolta radicale nel campo delle ricerche paleografico-diplomatistiche: sono queste le coordinate (concettuali prima ancora che cronologiche) del libro, che per la prima volta affronta in chiave storiografica una stagione centrale nella medievistica regionale e ripercorre carriere, progetti, iniziative degli individui e delle istituzioni che...
Conspiracy Theories in Contemporary Italy
This volume explores the role played by conspiracy narratives in the contemporary Italian political, cultural, and social context, through a series of case studies. It begins with a historical and genealogical account of the troubled success of Italian conspiracy thinking from the early 1970s to the present day. Among the issues examined are the unclear division between legitimate/illegitimate forms of knowledge, the use of conspiracy as a confrontational discursive device, the emergence of moral panic, and the stabilization of information outlets against dominant official explanations. The analysis covers the case of a well-known national survey, and a digital platform specializing in conspiracy storytelling. The second axis of the book concerns the pervasive use of conspiracy as a theory or narrative that currently circulates in various Italian cultural fields: multiculturalism, immigration, and racism; Catholic traditionalism; football fandom; small business economics; and cooking and food. This volume will be of interest to researchers of conspiracy theories, and Italian politics and history.
Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1980-1989
The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent many changes in the 1980s, with masters such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda dying or retiring and young filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava (Macabro, Demons) and Michele Soavi (The Church) surfacing. Horror films proved commercially successful in the first half of the decade thanks to Dario Argento (both as director and producer) and Lucio Fulci, but the rise of made-for-TV products has resulted in the gradual disappearance of genre products from the big screen. This book examines all the Italian Gothic films of the 1980s. It includes previously unpublished trivia and production data taken from official archive papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, actors and scriptwriters. The entries include a complete cast and crew list, plot summary, production history and analysis. Two appendices list direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films.
Workers, Managers, Productivity
This open access book provides a glimpse into the Japanese management technique known as “Kaizen,” and the ways it has been disseminated around the developing world. The novelty of this book is three-fold: it provides a contextualized view of the mechanisms of initiatives implementing Kaizen in developing countries; compared with productivity studies, it places the relationship between workers and managers at the center of inquiry, reflecting the intent of SDG8 concerning decent work and economic growth; and it provides an overview of the heterogeneity of Kaizen in terms of geography and firm size. This book explores how improving management techniques can support firms’ productivity and quality. Given its wide range of case studies from across Africa, Asia and Latin America, this book will be of value to scholars, policymakers and advocates of sustainable development alike.
