The Moro Morality Play
On March 16, 1978, the former prime minister of Italy, Aldo Moro, was kidnapped by the Red Brigades, and what followed—the fifty-five days of captivity that resulted in Moro's murder—constitutes one of the most striking social dramas of the twentieth century. In this compelling study of terrorism, Robin Wagner-Pacifici employs methods from sociology, symbolic anthropology, and literary criticism to decode the many social "texts" that shaped the event: political speeches, newspaper reports, television and radio news, editorials, photographs, Moro's letters, Red Brigade communiques, and appeals by various international figures. The analysis of these "texts" calls into question the function of politics, social drama, spectacle, and theater. Wagner-Pacifici provides a dramaturgic analysis of the Moro affair as a method for discussing the culture of politics in Italy.
Introducing Malaguzzi
"Loris Malaguzzi (1920 - 1994) was the pioneer of the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching young children. An ever-increasing number of teachers and educationalists from all over the world now come to study the Reggio pre-school's unique methods, and this is largely due to Malaguzzi's devotion, work and commitment over 45 years, and the small group of teachers and educators he trained and with whom he developed his methods. The principles that underpin the Reggio Emilia approach are fundamental to the way in which Early Childhood Education is being shaped around the world today. The work of Loris Malaguzzi was rooted in a strong sociocultural framework, meaning it was a considered response to ...
Creating Soundscapes
We live all our lives surrounded by sounds. Sounds are communication and aggression, emotions and alienation, art and...pollution. Creating sound landscapes means becoming aware of the existence of an individual acoustic space and learning how to enjoy it while respecting other people's spaces. How? By developing an aesthetic sensitivity that will allow us to distinguish quality sounds from noises that damage our health; by building a new ecologic conscience to correct compromised environments; by listening... and not just to music.

'80
Troppo vicini per essere già storia. Sarà per questo che l'eredità italiana degli amati/odiati anni Ottanta stenta a trovare narratori. Paolo Morando ripercorre attraverso un racconto-reportage il decennio più ambiguo: vitale e al contempo feroce. Italians do it better: sono le parole d'ordine lanciate da una maglietta indossata da Madonna, mentre Paolo Rossi diventa il simbolo di un'Italia che vuole lasciarsi per sempre alle spalle stragi e terrorismo. Sono gli Ottanta: gli anni dell'edonismo, dell'arricchimento, quando eravamo un Paese invidiato da mezzo mondo. Gli adolescenti di allora ricordano quegli anni con nostalgia: Nikka Costa, Maradona, Goldrake, gli Europe di The Final Countd...
