Corri col vento
Kiyose vede Kakeru per caso, all’uscita dal bagno pubblico. Non è propriamente un incontro: Kakeru è in fuga dopo un piccolo furto, ma Kiyose, vedendolo scappare di corsa, non ha esitazioni, è lui la chiave per raggiungere il suo sogno, la Hakone Ekiden, una classica ultramaratona a staffetta che si tiene ogni anno sin dal 1920 su un percorso di quasi 220 chilometri da concludere in 48 ore. Kakeru, studente squattrinato con un passato tormentato da promessa del running, entra così a far parte della comunità dello Chikuseiso, una casa condivisa, in realtà poco più che una catapecchia: è il decimo inquilino, e anche l’ultimo elemento che manca a Kiyose, dal momento che la Hakone Ek...
Flori, a Pastoral Drama
One of the first pastoral dramas published by an Italian woman, Flori is Maddalena Campiglia's most substantial surviving literary work and one of the earliest known examples of secular dramatic writing by a woman in Europe. Although acclaimed in her day, Campiglia (1553-95) has not benefited from the recent wave of scholarship that has done much to enhance the visibility and reputation of contemporaries such as Isabella Andreini, Moderata Fonte, and Veronica Franco. As this bilingual, first-ever critical edition of Flori illustrates, this neglect is decidedly unwarranted. Flori is a work of great literary and cultural interest, noteworthy in particular for the intensity of its focus on the experiences and perceptions of its female protagonists and their ideals of female autonomy. Flori will be read by those involved in the study of early modern literature and drama, women's studies, and the study of gender and sexuality in this period.

Teaching Interpreting and Live Subtitling
