La democrazia è morta ed è colpa sua
Io credo che se la democrazia è morta non è per colpa dei partiti, dei cittadini indifferenti, delle costituzioni imperfette, dei corrotti o delle lobbies. Io credo che la democrazia è morta perché non poteva essere altrimenti, perché contiene in sé stessa il germe dell’autodistruzione. C’è una ragione molto profonda che è alla radice del fallimento inesorabile del sistema chiamato democrazia. Non ci credete, eppure ritengo che sia proprio così. Non sono le ragioni esterne alla democrazia a tradirla ma al contrario è la democrazia – per definizione - a non poter soddisfare i bisogni delle persone. E con questo breve pamphlet cercherò di dimostrarvelo. Giuseppe De Renzi Il libro è scritto a più mani, precisamente da: Alfonso Artone, Giuseppe De Renzi, Marco Tarantino, Massimo Penitenti, Maurizio Cassinari. Le illustrazioni sono di Matteo Dorigo.

Loyalty Management
In this insightful text, Cristina Ziliani and Marco Ieva trace the evolution of thinking, contemporary themes and practice in loyalty management. Loyalty management is increasingly identified with the design and management of a quality customer experience in the journey across the many touchpoints that connect the customer with the brand.

New to this 2nd edition, readers will find: A new chapter e...
Adorno’s Aesthetics as a Literary Theory of Art
This book re-examines Adorno’s aesthetics, developing a new literary approach that aims to unveil hidden elements of Adorno’s thought. Farina proposes to read Adorno’s aesthetics as a literary theory of art, showing its efficacy in its comprehension of the most advanced trends of contemporary literature. As a result, this book provides an image of Adorno’s aesthetics as a complete, satisfying and consistent philosophy of literature, a robust theory which is able to stand its ground in contemporary aesthetic debate. Challenging the prevalent prejudice that defines Adorno’s thought, and especially his aesthetics, as ‘modernist’, Farina argues that Adorno's philosophy of literature shows its value precisely in its application to and comprehension of postmodern literature, such as the works of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo and David Foster Wallace. Precise and compelling, this book provides a new paradigm for understanding Adorno’s theory of artwork, serving as an essential reference for researches investigating the relation between classical critical theory and contemporary art.
Arte Ambientale, Urban Space, and Participatory Art
Working in 1970s Italy, a group of artists—namely Ugo La Pietra, Maurizio Nannucci, Francesco Somaini, Mauro Staccioli, Franco Summa, and Franco Vaccari—sought new spaces to create and exhibit art. Looking beyond the gallery, they generated sculptural, conceptual, and participatory interventions, called Arte Ambientale (Environmental Art), situated in the city streets. Their experiments emerged at a time of cultural crisis, when fierce domestic terrorism aggravated an already fragile political situation. To confront the malaise, these artists embraced a position of artistic autonomy and social critique, democratically connecting the city's inhabitants through direct art practices.
The Economics of Contemporary Art
The book examines the contemporary art system with a broad and systematic approach, through the application of models of microeconomics and industrial organizations. By breaking down the traditional barriers between different academic disciplines such as art and economics, this book offers a unique opportunity to grasp the complexities of the contemporary art world and provides the tools to conduct a structural analysis of that market. The result is an in-depth analysis of the contemporary art market from an interdisciplinary perspective. While it is not a textbook in the strictest sense, the book offers a concise and effective overview of all actors in the art system, and provides supporting data and valuable information, both conceptual and practical. It is therefore a text that can be used by students wishing to better understand the complex dynamics that govern the contemporary art market, but also by cultural managers, collectors, potential art investors or simply art lovers who need a quick reference.

Sorted Books
A witty and thought-provoking collection of visual poems constructed from stacks of books. Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourian’s playful photographic series proves that books’ covers—or more specifically, their spines—can speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Art’s research library consists ...
