Language, Culture and the Law
The volume presents a set of invited papers based on analyses of legal discourse drawn from a number of international contexts where often the English language and legal culture has had to adjust to legal concepts very different from those of the English law system. Many of the papers were inspired by two major projects on legal language and inter-multiculturality: Generic Integrity in Legislative Discourse in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts based in Hong Kong and carried out by an international team and Interculturality in Domain-specific English, a national project supported by the Italian Ministry for Education and Research, involving research units from five Italian universities

Singular Continuities
This volume explores the appropriation of the past in modern British culture. The twelve essays argue that to distinguish between "the new" and "the traditional" today often draws a false dichotomy. It argues that Britishness, in fact, has been the product of continuous creation throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
Donne e impero nell’Ottocento americano
Il volume ricostruisce il pensiero e le esperienze politiche di due pioniere del riformismo femminile americano della prima metà dell’Ottocento, Lydia Maria Child e Margaret Fuller, al fine di far luce sul ruolo che le attiviste bianche della classe media ebbero all’interno dei processi di costruzione nazionale e di espansione imperiale degli Stati Uniti. L’obiettivo è quello di mostrare come, mentre in ambito nazionale l’ideologia delle sfere separate prescriveva ruoli di tipo domestico, l’impero americano operò come collettore di opportunità e nuove possibilità, offrendo spazi di azione inediti che contribuirono ad accelerare il processo di emancipazione femminile nel corso del diciannovesimo secolo. Un percorso lungo e a ostacoli, imperniato proprio sui valori della domesticità e non esente da tensioni razziali e di classe. Il testo intende restituire tutta la complessità di un rapporto, quello tra donne e impero, controverso, ambiguo e allo stesso tempo indissolubile, che rappresenta uno degli elementi fondativi della cultura politica femminile americana.

Donald Trump And The Future Of American Democracy
At the heart of this book is the idea that President Trump’s governing style has been a prelude to the semi-democratic authoritarian government that could take hold after the white majority of voters, who have the keys to wealth and power today, become a minority around 2050. With this in mind, the book analyzes Trump’s attempt, squeezed between two impeachments in a single term – an all-time record –, murky relations with Russia and policy choices that are disrespectful of laws and the Constitution, to accredit himself as a plebiscitary leader and influencer of the nation, with claims of being a powerful man capable of acting with impunity, unchallenged and beyond the classic checks and balances mechanisms. Trump has exposed the fragility of American democracy due to the inadequacy of its “immune defenses” and set off alarm bells about the need for adequate reinforcements. The problem is all the more serious because the weakening of American democracy could result in the short-circuiting of other democracies in the rest of the world. In order to prevent this from happening, as far as legal techniques can, the authors suggest some steps that can be taken.
Transatlantic Conversations
This unique interdisciplinary essay collection offers a fresh perspective on the active involvement of American women authors in the nineteenth-century transatlantic world. Internationally diverse contributors explore topics ranging from women's social and political mobility to their authorship and activism. While a number of essays focus on such well-known writers as Margaret Fuller, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Harriet Beecher Stowe, George Eliot, Louisa May Alcott, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, other, perhaps lesser-known authors are also included, such as E. D. E. N. Southworth, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Elizabeth Peabody, Jeannette Hart, and Laura Richards. These essays show the spectrum of...
