Network Society
The present volume attempts to critically evaluate claims that modern society may be read and understood as a network. Accepting that this perspective holds some potential, the question becomes how to best capitalize on it. To analyze society as a network means to respond not only to the “actual needs”, but also to highlight the "opportunities" and the "utilities", and to investigate whether society is increasingly relational or just perceived as such, as e.g. digital "social networks" and related concepts exemplify. From a strictly scientific perspective to answer the question "how to" read society as a network means to ask ourselves: a) if the conceptual categories (especially the conc...
Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in the Age of the Anthropocene
Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in the Age of Anthropocene addresses three imminent challenges to human society in the age of the Anthropocene. The first challenge involves the survival of the species; the second the breakdown of social justice; and the third the inability of the media to provide global audiences with an adequate orientation about these issues. The notion of the Anthropocene as a geological age shaped by human intervention implies a new understanding of the human context that influences the physical and biological sciences. Human existence continues to be affected by the physical and biological reality from which it evolved but, in turn, it affects that reality as well. This work addresses this paradox by bringing together the contributions of researchers from very different disciplines in conversation about the complex relationships between the physical/biological world and the human world to offer different perspectives and solutions in establishing social and environmental justice in the age of the Anthropocene.
CLIL in progress. From theoretical issues to classroom practice
Over the years, various types of experimental projects have been carried out in Italy at different levels of education. CLIL practices have moved from limited small-scale experiments to elaborated projects involving technology, materials design and the creation of CLIL networks. This volume is a collection of works by both language and content teachers at all levels of education who have, in the past six years, embarked on a CLIL-type journey. The book is organized into two sections; the first part highlights some considerations that are more theoretical in nature. The purpose is to provide moments of reflection on these issues and/or bring to light other matters that merit further discussio...

Play Among Books
How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.

La svastica sul sole. Un caso di storia controfattuale
Il volume propone un’analisi in termini narratologici del romanzo di Philip K. Dick La svastica sul sole, sottolineando come l’opera in questione non solo sia un ottimo prodotto di fantascienza, ma anche come possa funzionare in termini di storia controfattuale tramite l’analisi di eventi storici, reali e del romanzo e le loro relazioni semiotiche, permettendo di evidenziare come la narrazione presenti un mondo alternativo ma che “avrebbe potuto essere”.
