Spatriati
Following two outcasts' tumultuous friendship, this brilliant novel captures the probing, passionate nature of a generation of global citizens, exploring sexuality and identity. Claudia enters Francesco’s life on a sunny morning, in the school’s entrance hall: it’s a bolt of lightning, the birth of an entirely new kind of desire, which is, above all, the desire for life. Claudia is peerless and self-assured, extravagant; Francesco is introverted, burning with erotic curiosity, dominated by rustic faith, uncertain. She provokes him: “Did you know that your mother and my father were lovers?” But, in the eyes of that meek boy, she glimpses a spark of diversity, she sees herself in him...
Les Irrésolus
« Irrésolus », spatriati dans le dialecte des Pouilles, ne désigne pas seulement les êtres privés de patrie, mais tous ceux qui ne se sentent pas à leur place, les incertains, les inclassifiables. Comme Francesco Veleno, antihéros moderne, et la lumineuse Claudia Fanelli que Francesco rencontre au lycée et ne cessera d’aimer. Il ne le sait pas encore, mais le lien qui les unit est plus complexe : leurs parents entretiennent une relation adultère. De cette blessure originelle, naîtra entre eux une amitié indéfectible. Le sentiment d’appartenance de l’un à sa région natale, ses poètes, ses paysages, sa langue, ses croyances, se fait le miroir de l’inévitable fuite de l...

Zementfasern
Domenica Orlando, genannt Mimi, ist vierzehn, als sie ihr Dorf im süditalienischen Apulien verlassen muss, um mit den Eltern in die Schweiz zu gehen.

Mimi erlebt im Norden ihre erste Liebe, zum 18- jährigen Ippazio, doch in der kargen Unterkunft, die sie mit vielen Landsleuten teilen müssen, bleiben den beiden nur kleine, verstohlene Streichholz-Momente des Glücks.

Spatriati
»Spatriati«, das sind in Apulien die Unbestimmten, die aus der Art Schlagenden, die Spinner, die Ziellosen und Alleinstehenden, kurz: die, die nicht dazugehören – so wie Claudia und Francesco. Claudia, leuchtend rotes Haar, mondweiße Haut, ist extravagant und durchsetzungsstark. Francesco, die »schwarze Traube«, akzeptiert stumm Geschlechterrollen und das »Gesetz des ruhigen Lebens« auf dem Land. Doch seine Mutter liebt ihren Vater. Und aus dem Ehebruch der Eltern entsteht eine ungleiche Freundschaft: Er verehrt sie abgöttisch, sie behandelt ihn wie den kleinen Bruder. Sie ist ihm stets zwei Schritte voraus, er sieht zu, wie sie an die falschen Männer gerät. Ihr lässt die Provinz keine Luft zum Atmen. Er ist den Traditionen Apuliens eng verbunden und kann dort doch nicht er selbst sein. Francesco folgt Claudia nach Berlin, wo ihn grenzenlose, auch sexuelle Freiheit erwartet – und neue Fremdheit. Tastend erzählt Mario Desiati von einer Herkunft, die einen nicht ohne Kratzer loslässt. Ein warmer, zarter Roman über den Schmerz der Selbstbefreiung und den späten Mut, es anders zu machen.
Plasma Works From Topological Geometries to Urban Landscaping
Volume #33 of ""The IT Revolution in Architecture,"" this book outlines the work of Plasma studio, from the cultural elements tied to landform, to the parametric development of the projects, to the very organization of the studio.
