Romanzo occidentale
“Ritratti di pensiero” su Paolo Volponi con passaggi interni su Giacomo Leopardi, Pier Paolo Pasolini e Peter Sloterdijk – (e un intermezzo su Edgar Morin) – attraverso stenogrammi filosofici e letterari coinvolgenti anche la sfera della politica e, in generale, della storia delle idee. Un milieu culturale caratterizzato da molteplici “aspetti cromatici” dell’esistenza in cui si consumano le parole dell’io e le mode dell’anima nel rumore del mondo. Stenogrammi che tracciano la filosofia anche come “critica del linguaggio” con cui si appalesa l’essere. Attraverso Volponi: scene dell’autocoscienza e del pensiero monologico, filosofie dell’esistenza, zibaldoni dell...
The Black Widows of the Eternal City
The Black Widows of the Eternal City offers, for the first time, a book-length study of an infamous cause célèbre in seventeenth-century Rome, how it resonated then and has continued to resonate: the 1659 investigation and prosecution of Gironima Spana and dozens of Roman widows, who shared a particularly effective poison to murder their husbands. This notorious case has been frequently discussed over 350 years, but the earliest writers concentrated more on fortifying their reading constituency’s shared attitudes than accurately narrating facts. Subsequent authors remained largely content to follow their predecessors or keen to improve upon them. Most recent writers and bloggers were una...

NELLE GROTTE DI CRISTALLO
Il "canto dolce" dell' "ippocampo rosso" è un'arma troppo debole per affrontare e contrastare il potentissimo esercito del frastuono mediatico e delle sue assordanti risonanze mentali, anche il poeta Michele Stuppiello se ne rende conto quando confessa che l'intonazione di quel canto è "flebile", impari alla lotta che vuole aprire, fidando solamente sulla potenza magica della sua origine. Infatti: "lo imparò dalle sirene, nelle grotte di cristallo". (dalla Prefazione di Antonio Nasuto)
Cyprus in the Long Late Antiquity
Cyprus was a thriving and densely populated late antique province. Contrary to what used to be thought, the Arab raids of the mid-seventh century did not abruptly bring the island’s prosperity to an end. Recent research instead highlights long-lasting continuity in both urban and rural contexts. This volume brings together historians and archaeologists working on diverse aspects of Cyprus between the sixth and eighth centuries. They discuss topics as varied as rural prosperity, urban endurance, artisanal production, civic and private religion and maritime connectivity. The role of the imperial administration and of the Church is touched upon in several contributions. Other articles place Cyprus back into its wider Mediterranean context. Together, they produce a comprehensive impression of the quality of life on the island in the long late antiquity.
Change and Resilience
Change and Resilience offers a view of the main Mediterranean islands from West to East in Late Antiquity because Mediterranean islands can contribute in fundamental ways to our understanding not only of earlier colonizations but also later periods. The volume explores specifically the time frame from the fall of the Roman empire to the Medieval period. A first group of papers covers islands and island groups in the Central and Western Mediterranean, including the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and the Adriatic islands. Together, these five papers highlight several common themes across the region: local or indigenous sites were often reoccupied in Late Antiquity, the rural coun...
Transnational Modernity and the Italian Reinvention of Walt Whitman, 1870-1945
"This study gauges the effects that Walt Whitman's poetry had in Italy in the period from 1870 to 1945: the reactions it provoked, the aesthetic and political agendas it came to sponsor, and the creative responses it facilitated. But it also investigates the contexts and causes of Whitman's success abroad, in the lives, backgrounds, beliefs, and imaginations of the people who encountered it. Ultimately, it chronicles the evolution of a literature intent on regenerating itself and moving toward modernity. Bernardini gives particular attention to women writers and noncanonical writers often excluded from previous discussions of Whitman's Italian reception. The book is grounded in archival stud...

Beyond Alternative Food Networks
Food activism is core to the contemporary study of food - there are numerous foodscapes which exist within the umbrella definition of food activism from farmer's markets, organic food movements to Fair Trade. This highly original book focuses on one key emerging foodscape dominating the Italian alternative food network (AFN) scene: GAS (gruppi di acquisto solidale or solidarity-based purchase groups) and explores the innovative social dynamics underlying these networks and the reasons behind their success. Based on a detailed 'insider' ethnography, this study interprets the principles behind these movements and key themes such as collective buying, relationships with local producers and cons...
