Soul Crime. New York
Se hai paura sei fottuto. Perché il cacciatore sente sempre l'odore della sua preda. Non ci sarà nessuno a proteggerti questa notte. Il fiume scorre lento e fa eco ai passi che si nascondono oltre il cono di luce del lampione. Otto storie di violenza, passione, paura e fascino del male raccontano la metropoli più affascinante, dannata e controversa del mondo. New york city non è solo questo, certo. Una bellezza profonda si è ficcata fin dentro l'anima di questa città. Ne siamo consapevoli e coscienti. Ma le matite e gli appunti di giovani autori di crime story, stanotte, ti porteranno oltre le luci dei grattaceli e oltre i fumosi bar aperti solo dopo mezzanotte. Stanotte si naviga a vista attraverso l'East River che porta lontano tra segreti e paure. C'è una luna strana che aiuta e affina l'odore e il piacere. È tempo di muoversi, la notte non aspetta. La caccia è iniziata.
Soul crime. New York
If you're afraid then you are fucked. The hunter can always smell his prey. There will be no one to protect you tonight. The river flows slowly and echoes through the steps that hide beyond the cone of light from the street lamp. Eight stories of violence, passion, fear and a fascination with evil tell about the most intriguing, bloody and controversial metropolis in the world. New York is not just that, of course. A deep beauty is stuck deep into the soul of this city. But tonight the pencils and the words of young crime story authors will take you beyond the lights of the skyscrapers, beyond the smoky bars. Tonight you will navigate by sight across the East River which will take you far away, among secrets and fears. There is a strange moon that eases the navigation, that sharpens the smell, and the pleasure of the journey. It is time to move, the night will not wait. The hunt has begun. Limited edition, in english, with the contribution of Stan Lee and Matthew Modine!
Dirty money
Dirty Money tells the story of Dotun Oloko, a whistleblower who tries to expose what he suspected was the involvement of the British government and European institutions in the laundering of millions of dollars of money stolen from Nigera by James Ibori, the corrupt former governor of one of the country's oil rich states. Suspecting colossal fraud and corruption, Oloko reports the facts to the UK Department for International development and the European Investment Bank - only to find his family placed under covert surveillance. In the end, Ibori will be sentenced by a London court for fraud and money laundering. But the Western institutions that Oloko alleged were complicit are still in business.

Environmental Crime in Transnational Context
Environmental crime is one of the most profitable and fastest growing areas of international criminal activity. The increasing cross-border scope of environmental crimes and harms is one of the reasons why governments and the enforcement community have trouble in finding the proper responses. Law enforcement cooperation between western industrialized states is often time consuming and problematic, and the problems increase exponentially when environmental criminals take advantage of situations where government and law enforcement are weak. This book provides an overview of the developments and problems in the field of transnational environmental crimes and harms, addressing these issues from...
Language Creativity
In Language Creativity: A Semiotic Perspective, Simone Casini aims to frame the concept of creativity within a linguistic dimension by developing a theoretical reflection with constant references to contact languages and to the educational plan. Semiotic creativity abandons the condition of the linguistic property inter pares and rises to the rank of theoretical and first principle by which languages define themselves, function and interact in the negotiation of meaning in relation to the social uses. Casini considers creativity as a premise for the rule changing of boundaries of meaning and creation of language and meaning. The work progresses starting from the historical-critical concept of creativity, discussing the most philosophical and linguistic theories in the North American and European context.
Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture
With a focus on the object and where it is situated, in time (memory) and space (mobility), Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture embodies a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach. The chapters track the movement of the objects and their owner(s), within and between continents, countries, cities, and families. Objects have always been considered with an eye to their worth – economic, aesthetic, and/or functional. If that worth is diminished, their meaning and value disappear, they are just things. Yet things can still fulfil functions in our daily lives; they hold symbolic potential, from personal memory triggers, to focal points of public ritual and religion; from collectors...
Wandering Women
Wandering Women: Urban Ecologies of Italian Feminist Filmmaking explores the work of contemporary Italian women directors from feminist and ecological perspectives. Mostly relegated to the margins of the cultural scene, and concerned with women's marginality, the compelling films Wandering Women sheds light on tell stories of displacement and liminality that unfold through the act of walking in the city. The unusual emptiness of the cities that the nomadic female protagonists traverse highlights the absence of, and their wish for, life-sustaining communities. Laura Di Bianco contends that women's urban filmmaking—while articulating a claim for belonging and asserting cinematic and social agency—brings into view landscapes of the Anthropocene, where urban decay and the erasure of nature intersect with human alienation. Though a minor cinema, it is also a powerful movement of resistance against the dominant male narratives about the world we inhabit. Based on interviews with directors, Wandering Women deepens the understanding of contemporary Italian cinema while enriching the field of feminist ecocritical literature.

Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Saskia Sassen bring together 27 incisive contributions from leading international experts on gender and global migration, uncovering the multitude of economies, histories, families and working cultures in which local, regional, national, and global economies are embedded.
Elemental Narratives
Over the past century, the Italian landscape has undergone exceedingly rapid transformations, shifting from a mostly rural environment to a decidedly modern world. This changing landscape is endowed with a narrative agency that transforms how we understand our surroundings. Situated at the juncture of Italian studies and ecocriticism and following the recent “material turn” in the environmental humanities, Elemental Narratives outlines an original cultural and environmental map of the bel paese. Giving equal weight to readings of fiction, nonfiction, works of visual art, and physical sites, Enrico Cesaretti investigates the interconnected stories emerging from both human creativity and t...
