Irreverent and iconoclastic, Nigel Coates has been stirring up the architectural scene for over 40 years. In this warm and compelling autobiography, he explores the highs and lows of life at the cutting edge of architecture and design. Coates’ work often treads playfully at the intersection between bodies, sexuality and design. His portfolio includes interiors for Liberty, Jigsaw and Caffè Bongo in Tokyo, the Body Zone in the Millennium Dome, and built work such as Noah's Ark and the Wall (both in Tokyo) and the Geffrye Museum extension, London. He has also collaborated with high-end product and lighting manufacturers Fornasetti, Fratelli Boffi and Slamp. Formerly the Head of Architecture...

Vatican City (Holy See): Doing Business and Investing in ... Guide Volume 1 Strategic, Practical Information, Regulations, Contacts
This handbook is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive overview of fantasy outside the Anglo-American hegemony. While most academic studies of fantasy follow the well-trodden path of focusing on Tolkien, Rowling, and others, our collection spotlights rich and unique fantasy literatures in India, Australia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia, China, and many other areas of Europe, Asia, and the global South. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fantasy, broadening and modifying existing definitions to accommodate the global reach of the genre. The second part contains essays illuminating specific cultures, countries, and religious or ethnic traditions. From Aboriginal myths to (self)-representation of Tibet, from the appropriation of the Polish Witcher by the American pop culture to modern Greek fantasy that does not rely on stories of Olympian deities, and from Israeli vampires to Talmudic sages, this collection is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in fantasy fiction and global literature.

Una stagione nuova si è aperta per la narrativa fantastica italiana. Non più sottomessa agli imperativi del mainstream e dei luoghi comuni, la voce dei suoi autori scopre finalmente – o meglio riscopre – le radici stesse di quegli stilemi che la troppa riverenza per il fantasy d’oltreoceano aveva finito per farci dimenticare. In questa raccolta di articoli, saggi e contributi stesi in anni di lavoro, Francesco La Manno analizza così il ritorno in auge della fantasia eroica mediterranea e non solo, tracciando un vasto percorso critico che ha le sue radici nel mito.
