Christianity, Philosophy, and Roman Power
Rethinks Rome's Christianisation as a crisis of knowledge propelled by Constantine, with Emperor Julian as its key interpreter and catalyst.
Against the Avant-garde
"This book casts the poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini in a fresh light: his life and work in relation to the visual and performance arts of his time in both Europe and the US. Lavishly illustrated with both documentary and fine art images, it shows how essentially conservative Pasolini was politically and aesthetically despite his reputation as an avant-garde writer and filmmaker. But it also shows how truly advanced Pasolini was when it comes to interdisciplinary art, making him enormously relevant today"--
Collecting and Appreciating
The traditional borders between the arts have been eroded to reveal new connections and create new links between art forms. Cultural Interactions is intended to provide a forum for this activity. It will publish monographs, edited collections and volumes of primary material on points of crossover such as those between literature and the visual arts or photography and fiction, music and theatre, sculpture and historiography.
Computational approaches to semantic change
Semantic change — how the meanings of words change over time — has preoccupied scholars since well before modern linguistics emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century, ushering in a new methodological turn in the study of language change. Compared to changes in sound and grammar, semantic change is the least understood. Ever since, the study of semantic change has progressed steadily, accumulating a vast store of knowledge for over a century, encompassing many languages and language families. Historical linguists also early on realized the potential of computers as research tools, with papers at the very first international conferences in computational linguistics in the 1960s. Suc...

La voce in transizione
La voce è insieme fonazione e relazione, misura del Sé ma anche dell’Altro, medium del linguaggio e sua messa in discussione, contemporaneamente dentro e fuori dalla parola e dal corpo. Muovendo da un approccio che pensa il cinema come una mise-en-scène di corpi, e ponendo particolare enfasi sulla materialità e la mobilità della φωνή, il volume esplora lo statuto della voce filmata e i suoi usi nelle pratiche artistiche cinematiche. Come ripensare il rapporto, simbolico e materiale, tra le pratiche dell’ascolto e quelle della visione alla luce delle recenti trasformazioni del cinema? È possibile riconoscere un valore euristico alla voce indipendentemente dalla parola? Tracciando le coordinate di un dibattito ancora frammentario e in larga parte da costruire, l’autrice analizza la voce come oggetto tecno-culturale e istanza performativa, gesto estetico e politico al centro dei processi di soggettivazione e di (dis)identificazione che hanno luogo sullo schermo o a partire da esso.

Art vs. TV
While highlighting the prevailing role of television in Western societies, Art vs. TV maps and condenses a comprehensive history of the relationships of art and television. With a particular focus on the link between reality and representation, Francesco Spampinato analyzes video art works, installations, performances, interventions and television programs made by contemporary artists as forms of resistance to and appropriation and parody of mainstream television. The artists discussed belong to different generations: those that emerged in the 1960s in association with art movements such as Pop Art, Fluxus and Happening; and those appearing on the scene in the 1980s, whose work aimed at deco...
Extended Temporalities
This book contains a series of reflections on the theme of temporalities in cinema in the world of art. They do so interweaving various paths, and various structures, in order to arrive at different destination points. Which temporalities, one may wonder. On the boundary between cinema and contemporary art, where boundaries actually no longer exist, the idea of temporality is affected by paths opened up in historical moments which are actually so recent as to be simply in front of our eyes. Video, for example, derived from television, has since been “overtaken” by the digital evolution, yet does not relinquish its domestic function: it re-creates itself in new forms. The same also applie...
The Magic Lantern
The book provides an original investigation of the double trope as a central area of Dicken’s writings in their relation to Victorian culture, using this examination of the double to shed light on such issues as urban space and imperialism in the Victorian era.
