Gestures

Over the past few years, scientists and philosophers have discussed the concept of gesture as promising to overcome hyper-intellectualist conceptions of human beings. Its ascendancy reaffirmed the importance of the pragmatic, relational dimension in human experience and cognitive processes. Many questions arise when we focus on the cognitive role of gestures, especially in the new cultural landscape shaped by the digital revolution. Does the idea of gestures highlight the preeminence of bodily experiences? Does it lead to the thinning of the distinction between humans and nonhuman animals? Do gestures help us rethink the allegedly higher human capacities in an antireductionist vein? Do gestu...

Towards a Sociology of Hope

Why does hope appear in certain epochs and places, only at other times to disappear from people’s lives and from society as a whole? This book addresses hope from a sociological perspective, offering a theoretical framework and a set of concepts to consider a range of questions. With attention to who the historical bearers of hope are, and which social groups are most inclined towards hope and why. It also considers the objects and goals towards which their hope is directed and the conditions under which hope is easier. An enquiry into the relationship between hope and social, cultural, economic and political conditions, this volume redirects the sociological gaze towards the discovery of social experiences in which hope resurrects and contributes to the imagination of a new social world. It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in the emotions, social practices and social movements.

Music as Theology

"The conversation between music and theology, dormant for too long in recent years, is at last gathering pace. And rightly so. There will always be theologians who will regard music as a somewhat peripheral concern, too trivial to trouble the serious scholar, and in any case almost impossible to engage because of its notorious resistance to words and concepts. But an increasing number are discovering again what many of our forbears realized centuries ago, that the kinship between this pervasive feature of human life and the search for a Christian 'intelligence of faith' is intimate and ineradicable. Maeve Heaney's ambitious, wide-ranging, and energetic book pushes the conversation further fo...

Enzo

It is difficult to find a surgeon like Enzo Piccinini. He never gave up. He knew how to take risks when others held back. When patients turned to him, he took each person to heart and never abandoned them, even when there was nothing more he could do surgically. However, if there was even the slightest possibility of a solution, he would doggedly pursue it, striving to help each patient any way he could. Enzo Piccinini was an amazing surgeon but also a true friend to everyone he cared about. He was a wonderful father, not only to his four children, but also to the many people he led to embrace Christianity. He was one of the most resolute proponents of contemporary Catholicism-his actions ha...

Chi era Enzo Piccinini, medico chirurgo tragicamente scomparso in un incidente stradale nel maggio 1999, amico di don Lui-gi Giussani e instancabile educatore? A rispondere, a 25 anni dalla morte, è Pier Paolo Bellini, amico e compagno di strada del medico reggiano, insieme a Chiara Piccinini, una delle figlie di Enzo, dando voce all'uomo, alle sue opere e alle parole che hanno segnato la vita di molti. Grazie alle trascrizioni dei suoi interventi pubblici (messe a disposizione dalla Fondazione Enzo Piccinini) e alle tante testimonianze inedite rilasciate da chi ha avuto la fortuna di incontrarlo, Amico carissimo è un racconto intimo e prezioso che permette a tutti, credenti e non, di avvicinarsi all'umanità straordinaria e alla profonda esperienza di fede di Enzo Piccinini. La causa di canonizzazione attualmente in corso è conferma di quanto egli continui a essere ancora oggi una figura di riferimento umano e spirituale per tante persone.
