Uomo Infinito
“Cosa ne facciamo, adesso, di un intellettuale che a vent’anni sognava di cambiare il mondo e a ventitré cominciò a cambiarlo sul serio? Verrebbe voglia di rinunciare all’impresa e di lasciarlo dov’è, Giovanni Papini: tra i reperti dimenticati del Novecento, come quando lo (ri)scoprì Borges come splendido narratore dello straordinario insinuatosi nella quotidianità. Visto da vicino, potrebbe interrompere il nostro torpore, costringerci di nuovo a ricominciare. A cercare, cercare ancora … Eppure chissà, proprio per questo – a pensarci bene – ne può valere la pena”.

L'albero del mondo
Nell'ottobre del 1942 il giovane antifascista Giaime Pintor, accompagnato da Elio Vittorini, prese parte a un convegno di scrittori finanziato dal ministro della propaganda hitleriana Joseph Goebbels. Mauro Mazza, intrecciando fiction, filosofia e storia, dà vita a un romanzo che sorprende per la capacità di restituirci la psicologia complessa e modernissima di un grande intellettuale e fa luce su un episodio della vita di Pintor che negli ultimi anni è stato al centro di un acceso dibattito.
Public Broadcasting and Political Interference
Public broadcasters, like the BBC and the Italian broadcaster RAI, are some of the most important media organisations in the world. Politicians are often tempted to interfere in the workings of these broadcasters and when this happens, the results are highly controversial, as both the Blair and Berlusconi governments have discovered. Public Broadcasting and Political Interference explains why some broadcasters are good at resisting politicians’ attempts at interference, and have won a reputation for independence – and why other broadcasters have failed to do the same. It takes a comparative approach of broadcasters in different countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Sweden arguing political independence for public service broadcasters is important because of its contribution to democracy allowing voters alternative sources of information which allow them to choose between electoral alternatives. The book will be of interest to be of interest to policy-makers, scholars and students of political communication, broadcasting and the media.

African Law(s)
This book takes a comparative law perspective and proposes a new approach for researching law in Africa. Western theoretical perspectives in comparative law are too Eurocentric to fully catch the peculiarities and characteristics of the African “lawscape”—in short, they are inadequate for studying African law. In this book, Professor Salvatore Mancuso considers the law in Africa from a different perspective. Deeply rooted in the culture of the African people, this approach considers African legal culture with the same legitimacy as Western legal culture, setting a precedent for future policy-making decisions relating to legislative development in Africa.
The Media
Today, arguably more than at any time in the past, media are the key players in contributing to what defines reality for the citizens of Europe and beyond. This book provides an introduction to the way that the media occupy such a position of prominence in contemporary human existence. This expanded and fully updated third edition of the bestselling The Media: An Introduction collects in one volume thirty-six specially commissioned essays to offer unrivalled breadth and depth for an introduction to the study of contemporary media. It addresses the fundamental questions about today’s media – for example, digitisation and its effects, new distribution technologies, and the implications of ...
Religious Freedom in Italy
Italy, seat of the Pope and Vatican City, has a long and difficult relationship with religious freedom. Often identified as a Catholic nation par excellence, Italy owes its unification to a political class that advocated the separation of Church and State. Home of the Concordat, contemporary Italy recognises a peculiar notion of legal secularism (laicità) as the supreme principle of its constitutional order. Through the glasses of law, tracing the history of the right to religious freedom from the Unification to the present day, the nine chapters of the book allow an insight on paradoxes and contradictions of a complex system made of unresolved stratifications where a strong constitutional recognition of religious freedom is accompanied by a weak legislative protection of religious pluralism and, at the same time, a vigorous religious agency in the public space. Religious freedom in Italy offers an interpretation of a model of religious freedom that is not only a paradigm for many European experiences but also a possible interpretative parameter to better understand the dynamics of religious freedom between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
