Cultural Encounters: Cross-disciplinary studies from the Late Middle Ages to the Enlightenment
This collection of essays contributes to the growing field of ‘encounter studies’ within the domain of cultural history. The strength of this work is the multi- and interdisciplinary approach, with papers on a broad range of historical times, places, and subjects. While each essay makes a valuable and original contribution to its relevant field(s), the collection as a whole is an attempt to probe more general questions and issues concerning the productive outcomes of cultural encounters throughout the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods. The collection is divided into three sections organised thematically and chronologically. The first, ‘Encounters with the Past,’ focuses on the r...

FAMÍLIAS DAS COLÔNIAS ITALIANAS DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
A colonização italiana no Rio Grande do Sul, a partir de 1875, representa um dos movimentos migratórios mais intensos visualizados até hoje na história da América Latina. Em pouco mais de três décadas, aproximadamente 100 mil imigrantes seriam instalados nas Colônias de Guaporé, Dona Isabel (Bento Gonçalves), Conde d ́Eu (Garibaldi), Antonio Prado, Veranópolis (Alfredo Chaves), Fundos de Nova Palmira / Nova Milano (Caxias do Sul) e Silveira Martins. Este processo de povoamento, por sua vez, foi responsável pela ocupação do solo na região sul do Brasil e destinava-se a suprir a diminuição da mão-de-obra após a promulgação de leis abolicionistas. À época, a religião t...

Social Cognition and Communication
Language is the essence of interpersonal behavior and social relationships, and it is social cognitive processes that determine how we produce and understand language. However, there has been surprisingly little interest in the past linking social cognition and communication. This book presents the latest cutting-edge research from a select group of leading international scholars investigating the how language shapes our thinking, and how social cognitive processes in turn influence language production and communication. The chapters represent diverse perspectives of investigating the links between language and communication, including evolutionary, linguistic, cognitive and affective approa...
Mythos, o del rapporto tra romanzo e verità
Che cos’è un romanzo? Che ruolo e che valore ha all’interno della nostra cultura? Durante il Novecento, di fronte all’avanzare dell’ideale del Progresso fatto di macchine e di scienza, esperimenti e tecnologie, Heidegger lamentava la perdita del Lebenswelt, il mondo della vita, dal panorama della conoscenza. Milan Kundera, al contrario, era convinto che fosse tutt’altro che perduto: “Tutti i grandi temi esistenziali [] sono stati svelati, mostrati, illuminati da quattro secoli di romanzo. Nel modo che gli è proprio, secondo la logica che gli è propria, il romanzo ha scoperto, uno dopo l’altro, i diversi aspetti dell’esistenza”. Se il romanzo ha attinto a quel campo dell...
