The Hidden Italy
The Hidden Italy is the first bilingual English edition of some of the best Italian dialect poetry written over the past two centuries. The selection of more than four hundred poems in Piedmontese, Venetian, Milanese, Romagnol, Roman, Neapolitan, Sicilian, and other dialects illustrates the impressive variety of Italy's literary and linguistic civilization. Italian dialect literature originated in the Renaissance, after Tuscan had won its preeminence as the officially sanctioned Italian literary language. Despite the official victory of Tuscan, however, many writers consciously preferred and chose their own regional or local dialects as their medium of literary expression. This departure fro...
Hindu Iconoclasts
Why, Salmond asks, would nineteenth-century Hindus who come from an iconic religious tradition voice a kind of invective one might expect from Hebrew prophets, Muslim iconoclasts, or Calvinists?

Il corpo e la festa
La sessualità - che ispira da sempre simbologie e pratiche dei momenti di festa -, ed il corpo - con le sue diverse forme di espressione - sono momenti centrali del dibattito scientifico. E i saperi tradizionali tornano a rappresentare un'indiscutibile risorsa per aiutarci a comprendere le culture della sessualità. In questa raccolta di saggi, alcuni noti antropologi - tra cui Gian Luigi Bravo, Antonino Buttitta, Luigi M. Lombardi Satriani - analizzano le forme in cui si esprimono gli universi simbolici e le forme rituali fondamentali del ciclo vitale umano. Arricchisce l'opera il saggio fotografico di Jean Dominique Lajoux, che ricostruisce, attraverso immagini raccolte da chiese, capitelli, statue, scenari festivi sacri e profani, l'immaginario erotico europeo dal Medioevo ai nostri giorni.
