Between Signs and Non-signs
The Italian philosopher F. Rossi-Landi (1921-1985) conducted pioneering work in the philosophy of language. His research is characterised by a critique of language and ideology in relation to sign production processes and the process of social reproduction. Between Signs and Non-Signs is a collection of 14 articles by Rossi-Landi written between 1952 and 1984 and gives an overview of his contribution to the philosophy of language and his critique of Charles Morris, Wittgenstein, Bachtin, and his Italian contemporaries. It is in fact a project initiated by the author and now posthumously completed by the editor, with a complete bibliography of Rossi-Landi's extensive work. Susan Petrilli's Introduction gives a fresh view of the importance of Rossi-Landi's work to modern critical theory.

Emigrant Nation
Between 1880 and 1915, thirteen million Italians left their homeland, launching the largest emigration from any country in recorded world history. As the young Italian state struggled to adapt to the exodus, it pioneered the establishment of a “global nation”—an Italy abroad cemented by ties of culture, religion, ethnicity, and economics. In this wide-ranging work, Mark Choate examines the relationship between the Italian emigrants, their new communities, and their home country. The state maintained that emigrants were linked to Italy and to one another through a shared culture. Officials established a variety of programs to coordinate Italian communities worldwide. They fostered ident...
Marxism and Ideology
Ferruccio Rossi-Landi was one of Italy's foremost Marxist theorists. In Marxism and Ideology, which represents the culmination of his life's work, he goes further than any writer to illuminate the complex issues raised by the concept of `ideology'. Through its penetrating analysis of the intimate relationship between language, consciousness, and power, his treatise not only offers a valuable review of the history of the notion of ideology and the debate surrounding it, but represents an original and comprehensive revision of the classicMarxist theory of ideology. While retaining the conceptual framework of historical materialism, the author takes on board three major developments in post-war human sciences: the recognition of Marxism's shortcomings as a predictive and strictly empirical system of thought, the relativism whichhas invaded every academic discipline, and the emergence of semiology and linguistics as major fields of enquiry. In the hands of Rossi-Landi, Marxism becomes both a finely-tuned analytical tool for investigating ideology and a fully fledged ideology in its own right.

Diaris (1962-1968) (eBook)
Ricard Salvat tenia vint-i-set anys quan va escriure la primera entrada del seu diari personal. Aleshores ja desplegava la seva activitat en múltiples fronts: el teatre, la novel·la, la docència i el periodisme. Dinàmic, inquiet, incansable, ambiciós, Salvat plasma en les pàgines d’aquest diari tota l’amplitud i la intensitat dels anys en què consolida la seva «aventura escènica» i es forja una personalitat brillant. Aquest primer volum dels seus diaris revela una figura, entre la joventut i la maduresa, més polièdrica, matisada i humana que la icona que n’ha pervingut amb el temps, i ens permet comprendre millor l’obra i les circumstàncies d’un intel·lectual de gran vàlua que mai no va deixar de lluitar per aconseguir una nova Catalunya, fondejada en una escena que ell va contribuir a renovar.
I 36 stratagemmi
Composto in Cina probabilmente durante la dinastia Ming, tra XIV e XVII secolo, il libro dei Trentasei stratagemmi contiene una serie di astuzie e trucchi da usarsi in guerra, ma anche nella vita politica e sociale, esemplificati da altrettanti aforismi, qui scelti e commentati puntualmente da Gastone Breccia, noto studioso di storia militare. Il punto di partenza, come per tutta la tradizione strategica cinese, è la compenetrazione degli opposti: yin e yang, femminile e maschile, acqua e fuoco, debolezza e forza, difesa e attacco, ombra e luce, quiete e moto, in un perpetuo, delicatissimo equilibrio, continuamente turbato e continuamente ristabilito. Che si giochi in attacco o in difesa, q...
