A Female Activist Elite in Italy (1890–1920)
This book explores and traces the progressive activism and radical ideas of several elite women in Italy beginning in the early 20th century. It discusses the shared political culture that shaped the thinking and the activity of these women, mainly oriented towards political philanthropy and work, seen as the cornerstone of a comprehensive redefinition of gender relations. It also discusses the connections linking them to an international network of women involved in similar political actions and economic initiatives addressing women’s' interests, as well as their legacy for the next generations. With essays from a range of scholars, this book provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding these activists and deals with methodological and historiographical issues in reconstructing women’s contribution to history.

Isole di ordinaria follia
“Si era nel ’68. Franco Basaglia si batteva per la chiusura dei manicomi e con Carla Cerati avevamo realizzato delle fotografie sui manicomi. Vedendole, Basaglia rimase allibito. Si trattava di fotografie mai viste prima in Italia. Così abbiamo deciso di farne un libro, Morire di Classe. La condizione manicomiale (Torino, Einaudi, 1969), che con l’aggiunta di testi di Basaglia, ha fatto conoscere all’Italia le condizioni tragiche di questi malati”. Ho scritto queste parole tanto tempo fa, in questo libro non ci sono le mie fotografie, ci sono i miei contatti con le mie note, i tagli, gli appunti. Disposti così in sequenza sembrano muoversi, sembrano le sequenze di un film che non...
Comics and Novelization
This book opens a novel perspective on comics and literature interactions. It claims that the two artistic media have always maintained a mutual emulation, for as long as they have coexisted in media culture. To demonstrate this, the present research does not focus on literary adaptations in comics form but rather on a literary corpus that remains virtually unexplored: comics-related novels. The purpose of this volume is to inventory French comics-related novels and to study them. Within the limits of the French-speaking world, this book pieces together a literary history of bande dessinée through its novels, from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Although the comic strip – including the aptly named "graphic novel" – has sometimes been regarded as the disciple of an unsurpassable literary model, do these under-studied adaptations in novel form not rather indicate a mutual relationship, or even an emulation, between the two media?
Skyscraper for the XXI Century
This book presents the best 60 projects of the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Skyscraper Competition. An investigation by architects, students, and designers on the future of the skyscraper. What is the skyscraper in the beginning of the XXI Century? What is the historical and social context of these mega-structures? What is their response towards the urban fabric? Is the modern skyscraper a city in and of itself? Is the human scale lost? Talented architects have entered these competitions to explore, re-think, and speculate on this fascinating architectural genre. Each project includes a full description by the author as well as several illustrations and drawings. In addition, reknown architects were invited to present their thoughts on this fascinating architectural genre.
Le corbeau de pierre. La jeunesse de Corto Maltese
Par une nuit noire et pluvieuse sur la côte de la mer d’Écosse, un groupe d’hommes charge des caisses de whisky et des armes sur un navire à destination des rebelles irlandais. La police arrive, forçant les hommes à s’enfuir dans la nuit. Parmi eux se trouve le père de Corto Maltese, qui décide alors de confier la garde de son fils adolescent à son meilleur ami, le capitaine Kee. Corto va naviguer avec le fils du capitaine et un groupe de solides gaillards : difficile de deviner jusqu’où les mènera leur voyage car à bord de l'embarcation se trouve une mystérieuse statuette de pierre – un corbeau – qui renferme des secrets occultes et ésotériques. Au cours de cette incroyable épopée maritime, Steiner parvient à recréer l’atmosphère si singulière qui caractérise l’œuvre d’Hugo Pratt. Truffé de références historiques et littéraires, Le Corbeau de pierre évoque une période fascinante et jusqu’alors inconnue du grand public : la jeunesse de Corto Maltese.
