As Ragnar Rommetveit put it forty years ago, dialogue is “the architecture of intersubjectivity”: a tool not only for maintaining yet also constantly transforming our life-worlds. The volume advances and empirically illustrates the role of talk-in-interaction in displaying, ratifying, creating yet also defying the crucial dimensions of the world we live in. This process is particularly noticeable in children’s primary social worlds, i.e. home and school where they are socialized to becoming competent members of the communities they (will) live in. Drawing on fifty years of research on children's socialization through language and social interaction, the volume provides new multidiscipl...

Vi sono più modi di intendere la modernità ed è già stato scritto come il “ripensare la modernità” abbia portato a sviluppare il concetto che nella cultura dominante nell’Occidente del XX secolo non ne esiste una unica. Già il Congresso del 2007 aveva fatto il punto sullo stato degli studi e sul vasto panorama del patrimonio architettonico esistente. Nuove ricerche sul tema prendono ora corpo in due volumi curati da Maria Luisa Neri, il primo, e da Laura Marcucci, il secondo. Due parti solo apparentemente autonome,ma in realtà interattive, caratterizzano questo primo volume. La prima parte concentra l’attenzione sul ruolo svolto dalle riviste d’architettura nel dibattito e nella divulgazione del sapere architettonico internazionale. La seconda è l’esemplificazione di consuetudini e comportamenti professionali emblematici di esperienze tutte vissute all’interno di un mondo di idee legate alla ricerca di una modernità altra e di modi di procedere nella prassi operativa tipici di gran parte della società italiana.

This edited collection provides the first comprehensive history of Florence as the mid-19th century capital of the fledgling Italian nation. Covering various aspects of politics, economics, culture and society, this book examines the impact that the short-lived experience of becoming the political and administrative centre of the Kingdom of Italy had on the Tuscan city, both immediately and in the years that followed. It reflects upon the urbanising changes that affected the appearance of the city and the introduction of various economic and cultural innovations. The volume also analyses the crisis caused by the eventual relocation of the capital to Rome and the subsequent bankruptcy of the communality which hampered Florence on the long road to modernity. Florence: Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, 1865-71 is a fascinating study for all students and scholars of modern Italian history.
