Il Canale Cavour come corridoio della collettività
Il Canale Cavour, prima opera infrastrutturale dell'Italia post-unitaria, permette ancora oggi l'irrigazione della pianura risicola dal Piemonte orientale fino alla Lomellina portando le acque del Po sino al Ticino. La ricerca qui pubblicata indaga il Canale a partire da un obiettivo generale: quello di individuare nuovi strumenti e metodi nei progetti di trasformazione territoriale incentrati sul ruolo insediativo delle ciclostrade associate alle infrastrutture storiche. La possibilità di sviluppare lungo il grande sistema idraulico e architettonico del Canale una via a bassa velocità tra Torino e Milano, costituisce lo sfondo di uno studio che ha come temi principali: il rapporto tra l'a...
Paesaggio con biciclette
Questo libro affronta un tema finora poco trattato nell'ambito della ricerca: il progetto delle ciclovie, o delle reti di ciclovie, di lunga percorrenza. Nei prossimi decenni in Italia le infrastrutture ciclabili assumeranno un ruolo strategico per il raggiungimento di obiettivi come la transizione verso la mobilità attiva degli abitanti, lo sviluppo del turismo sostenibile, il rilancio economico e il ripopolamento delle aree interne. Davanti a questo scenario, piuttosto che definire standard e regole astratte, il libro presenta le concrete esperienze progettuali dei suoi autori – che vanno dalla scala della pianificazione di livello nazionale a quella del progetto d'architettura – tram...
La città, il viaggio, il turismo
[English]:The city as a destination of the journey in his long evolution throughout history: a basic human need, an event aimed at knowledge, to education, to business and trade, military and religious conquests, but also related to redundancies for the achievement of mere physical or spiritual salvation. In the frame of one of the world's most celebrated historical city, the cradle of Greek antiquity, myth and beauty, travel timeless destination for culture and leisure, and today, more than ever, strongly tending to the conservation and development of their own identity, this collection of essays aims to provide, in the tradition of AISU studies, a further opportunity for reflection and exc...

Politics and the Environment in Eastern Europe
Europe remains divided between east and west, with differences caused and worsened by uneven economic and political development. Amid these divisions, the environment has become a key battleground. The condition and sustainability of environmental resources are interlinked with systems of governance and power, from local to EU levels. Key challenges in the eastern European region today include increasingly authoritarian forms of government that threaten the operations and very existence of civil society groups; the importation of locally-contested conservation and environmental programmes that were designed elsewhere; and a resurgence in cultural nationalism that prescribes and normalises ex...
Nature and Realism in Schelling's Philosophy
In recent years the international philosophical debate around the so-called 'new' realism has undoubtedly aroused renewed interest in the philosophical positions of Schelling, an author who right in the midst of the philosophical project of German Idealism, forcefully insinuated the natural-realistic objection, leading to a breakaway towards contemporary thinking. In this book Iain Hamilton Grant, Alistair Welchman, Emilio Carlo Corriero, Manfred Frank, Andrea Dezi, Olaf Müller, Maurizio Ferraris display their perspectives on the topic.
Men and Bears
The time of Carnival represents a "wild" time at the end of winter and pointing to the beginning of a new season. It is characterized by the irruption of border figures, animal masks, characters which recall the world of the dead and which bring within themselves the germ of a vital force, of the energy that produces the reawakening of nature and announces the growth and fertility of the new crops. This wild domain shows itself under the shapes of a contiguity between human and animal: the costumes, the masks, refer to a world in which the characteristics of the human and those of the animal are fused and intertwined. Among these figures, in particular, emerge those of the Wild Man, the huma...
Learning through Others
The theory of natural pedagogy provides a model of social learning based on the direct communicative ostensive relation and aimed to the transfer of generic cultural knowledge. The pedagogical transmission of information originates from an explicit manifestation of teaching made by knowledgeable adults, who are naturally inclined to manifestly provide their cultural baggage to naïve conspecifics. The domain of transferable knowledge encompasses artifact functions, novel means actions, first words, gestural symbols, social practices, and rituals. This teaching process can be fast and efficient in virtue of a natural inclination possessed by infants to seek information and decode signals of o...
Becoming Children
The book is a reflection on childhood, dealing especially with children's wellbeing and the implementation of their rights. Starting from the recognition – first expressed in the 1924 Declaration of the Rights of the Child and reaffirmed in the 2000 Treaty of Nice as well as in more recent initiatives of the European Union – that children must be granted the right to be considered as persons and afforded the best possible living conditions, the book's aim is to create a dialog among scholars with different backgrounds. For this reason, it draws on a range of different vocabularies, conceptual apparatuses and methodologies, as we are convinced that it is reductive to confine research and ...
