A Bridge between Conceptual Frameworks
This book analyzes scientific problems within the history of physics, engineering, chemistry, astronomy and medicine, correlated with technological applications in the social context. When and how is tension between disciplines explicitly practised? What is the conceptual bridge between science researches and the organization of technological researches in the development of industrial applications? The authors explain various ways in which the sciences allowed advanced modelling on the one hand, and the development of new technological ideas on the other hand. An emphasis on the role played by mechanisms, production methods and instruments bestows a benefit on historical and scientific disc...
Farms, Factories, and Families
Often treated as background figures throughout their history, Italian women of the lower and working classes have always struggled and toiled alongside men, and this did not change following emigration to America. Through numerous oral history narratives, Farms, Factories, and Families documents the rich history of Italian American working women in Connecticut. As farming women, they could keep up with any man. As entrepreneurs, they started successful businesses. They joined men on production lines in Connecticut's factories and sweatshops, and through the strength of the neighborhood networks they created, they played a crucial role in union organizing. Empowered as foreladies, union offic...
Human Trafficking and Prostitution Among Women and Girls of Edo State, Nigeria Possibility of Rehabilitation Through Education and Prevention
Even though this study was primarily on human traffi cking and prostitution among Edo women and girls of Edo state in Nigeria, human traffi cking, however, is a widespread, visible phenomenon in the world today. It is a global problem. A report from United Nations Offi ce on Drug and Crime in 2014 says that human traffi cking involves over three million people in the world, bringing their slaveholders an annual profi t of 32 billion dollars. According to the same report, there is no place in the world where children, women, and men are safe from human traffi cking. In the background, the stark reality of poverty, unemployment, social marginalization, political crises, wars, interethnic confl...
Operation Barbarossa and its Aftermath
The 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, codenamed Operation Barbarossa, remains one of Nazi Germany’s most significant military campaigns. Executed by Hitler’s Wehrmacht army, this event saw troops from all over Europe defeat the Red Army and temporarily colonize large swathes of Eastern Europe, ultimately laying the groundwork for the Holocaust. In this illuminating re-examination of this multifaceted event, Operation Barbarossa and its Aftermath refocuses our attention on the multiethnic nature of the campaign, shedding light on the role of soldiers from Slovakia, Italy, Romania, and Spain as well as other important issues. This volume highlights how viewing Operation Barbarossa as a multiethnic campaign, rather than a strictly German-Russian conflict, offers new ways of understanding the Holocaust, World War II and the history of European collaboration.
Pained Screams from Camps
Detention camps exceed the juridical concept of punishment and crime. This book comprises two parts: 1. a collected volume that discusses camps not as something of the past, but as a paradigmatic political space in which ordinary law is completely suspended, and 2. an Italian-English parallel text of the war diary of an Italian prisoner during his confinement at the Stalag X-B internment camp near Sandbostel from 1943–1945. 1. The Human Condition of Exception: Collected Essays Edited by Aisling Reid and Valentina Surace Written in Italian and English, the essays collected in this volume explore the issue of camps and suffering from various perspectives, including philosophical inquiry, lit...
2018
The eighth volume of the International Yearbook of Futurism Studies is again an open issue and presents in its first section new research into the international impact of Futurism on artists and artistic movements in France, Great Britain, Hungary and Sweden. This is followed by a study that investigates a variety of Futurist inspired developments in architecture, and an essay that demonstrates that the Futurist heritage was far from forgotten after the Second World War. These papers show how a wealth of connections linked Futurism with Archigram, Metabolism, Archizoom and Deconstructivism, as well as the Nuclear Art movement, Spatialism, Environmental Art, Neon Art, Kinetic Art and many oth...

Terraferma
Terraferma affronta e decostruisce, mediante l'impiego critico e comparativo di un vasto armamentario di fonti documentarie, quelle narrazioni destorificanti che a partire dagli anni postunitari hanno investito la Basilicata a lungo descritta quale "terra ferma", immobile, priva di mutamento, dominata da uomini fatalisti e familisti, e tratteggia invece una Regione ancorata alla "terraferma", ad una terra stabile che non è spazio di destino e di attesa ma di compimento. Così facendo, il volume mostra il significato contingente e inevitabilmente mutevole delle stereotipizzazioni e delle stigmatizzazioni, vale a dire delle rappresentazioni identizzanti che di una specifica popolazione preten...
Pensare l'universo
Il 9 maggio 1962 Italo Calvino scrive a Umberto Eco di voler redigere un manifesto «per una letteratura cosmica». A un certo punto della sua vita, all’inizio degli anni sessanta, Calvino guarda alla scienza come mai aveva fatto prima. Per comprendere «il nostro inserimento nel mondo», egli sente la necessità di occuparsi delle immagini che la scienza produce e del linguaggio che impiega nel farlo. Sarà per lui un punto di svolta. Poco più di quindici anni fa, Massimo Bucciantini aveva raccontato la centralità di questo passaggio in un volume pionieristico, che torna oggi in libreria arricchito di un ampio saggio introduttivo. Attraverso l’impiego di numerose lettere e documenti d...
