The Reception of East Slavic Literatures in the West and the East
This volume, edited by scholars from diverse backgrounds, stems from the original convergence of various geo-cultural viewpoints on the reception of East Slavic cultures and literatures (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian, Soviet): European viewpoints are juxtaposed with those of the Japanese, Chinese, Israeli areas. The volume offers a broad look at the history of the perception of these literatures in Europe, Italy, and East Asia (with special attention to their reception in Japan and China). Contacts, influences, meditations, and difficulties in the perception of literary and cultural phenomena are the subject of original comparative analyses. The vitality with which Slavic-Eastern literatures have found echoes in very distant environments, but also the evolution of the self-perception of Ukrainian literature over time, are among the topics.
The Moral Neoliberal
Morality is often imagined to be at odds with capitalism and its focus on the bottom line, but in The Moral Neoliberal morality is shown as the opposite: an indispensible tool for capitalist transformation. Set within the shifting landscape of neoliberal welfare reform in the Lombardy region of Italy, Andrea Muehlebach tracks the phenomenal rise of voluntarism in the wake of the state’s withdrawal of social service programs. Using anthropological tools, she shows how socialist volunteers are interpreting their unwaged labor as an expression of social solidarity, with Catholic volunteers thinking of theirs as an expression of charity and love. Such interpretations pave the way for a mass mo...

L’aspettualità nel contatto linguistico: lingue slave e oltre
In questo volume il campo semantico-funzionale dell’aspettualità è analizzato in relazione al ruolo del contatto linguistico nello sviluppo di lingue minoritarie in Italia e oltre, evidenziando parallelismi finora del tutto sconosciuti, ad esempio lo sviluppo contatto-indotto di perifrasi verbali progressive e imminentive. Gli influssi delle lingue dominanti sono evidenti non solo sull’aspetto verbale slavo di tipo derivativo, ma anche sulla ristrutturazione di quello morfosintattico. L’aspettualità è trattata in relazione a microlingue slave parlate in Italia (slavomolisano, resiano, tersko, nadiško), Austria (croato del Burgenland), Germania (sorabo superiore), Albania (kaj-nas) e nel Baltico, nonché in riferimento ad arbëresh, cimbro, griko, lituano e macedone.
Studi contrastivi di linguistica slava: grammatica e pragmatica
Il volume contiene gli scritti linguistici di Andrea Trovesi, finora sparsi in varie riviste e miscellanee, caratterizzati tutti da un approccio pragmatico. Nella prima parte sono raccolti gli studi sul vocativo slavo, condotti in un’ottica storico-comparata che va dal protoslavo alle lingue slave moderne. Questi si concentrano in particolare sulle trasformazioni categoriali del vocativo, sui suoi relitti, sui cosiddetti ‘nuovi vocativi’ e sui valori pragmatici sviluppati nelle varie lingue slave. La seconda parte del volume è dedicata alle accezioni modali dell’imperfetto in un’ottica contrastiva slavo-romanza. La ricerca privilegia il bulgaro, ma non tralascia le altre lingue slave di cui analizza interessanti aspetti residuali, periferici di tale uso linguistico. Entrambi i filoni di studi qui presentati si distinguono per la loro originalità e per il loro valore teorico considerato in una prospettiva che dalla linguistica slava si apre a quella più ampia della linguistica in quanto scienza del linguaggio.
A Molecular and Cellular View of Protein Kinase CK2
It is now generally recognized that protein kinase signaling is involved in virtually every aspect of cell function, including growth and proliferation. The field of protein phosphorylation, including the enzymes involved in this post-translational modification, continues to advance at a fascinating pace. Since the first international meeting on this topic, held in Heidelberg in 1994, several new avenues of CK2 research have emerged despite persistent deficiencies in our understanding of the regulation of its activity. Among the significant new directions are studies related to the structure of the enzyme, especially its crystal structure, as well as an interesting aspect of CK2 function tha...
Race, Nation and Gender in Modern Italy
Finalist for the 2019 Edinburgh Gadda Prize This book explores intersectional constructions of race and whiteness in modern and contemporary Italy. It contributes to transnational and interdisciplinary reflections on these issues through an analysis of political debates and social practices, focusing in particular on visual materials from the unification of Italy (1861) to the present day. Giuliani draws attention to rearticulations of the transnationally constructed Italian ‘colonial archive’ in Italian racialised identity-politics and cultural racisms across processes of nation building, emigration, colonial expansion, and the construction of the first post-fascist Italian society. The author considers the ‘figures of race’ peopling the Italian colonial archive as composing past and present ideas and representations of (white) Italianness and racialised/gendered Otherness. Students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including Italian studies, political philosophy, sociology, history, visual and cultural studies, race and whiteness studies and gender studies, will find this book of interest.
Das Gedächtnis Zentraleuropas
Zentraleuropa ist als Raum zwar nur "schwer greifbar" (Milan Kundera), hat im Vielvölkerstaat der Habsburgermonarchie aber "real-territoriale Züge" angenommen, die der Region "eine wörtlich zu verstehende räumliche Bedeutung" verleihen (Jurij Lotman). Ökonomische, soziale, religiöse und sprachliche-kulturelle Pluralitäten bestimmen hier die alltägliche Kommunikation von Individuen und gesellschaftlichen Gruppen. Sie beeinflussen die kulturelle Kreativität, sind aber auch für permanente Krisen, Konflikte und Instabilitäten verantwortlich. Diese Aspekte analysiert der Kulturwissenschaftler Moritz Csáky im vorliegenden Buch anhand essayistischer und literarischer Texte u.a. von H. Bahr, F. Kafka, J. Roth, H. von Hofmannsthal und M. Krleža, die solche Perspektiven bereits vorweggenommen haben. Dabei erweist sich Zentraleuropa als ein Laboratorium, das zur Deutung von analogen, global-kulturellen Prozessen und Problemen der Gegenwart beizutragen vermag.
