Para la mayoría de los jóvenes, la cultura popular es el lugar desde el cual dan sentido a su identidad. A este respecto, los medios de comunicación y las nuevas tecnologías son decisivos en la configuración de las nuevas formas de sociabilidad juvenil. Asimismo, la cultura popular está fuertemente implicada en las negociaciones intergeneracionales (padres e hijos) tanto por las diferencias en las prácticas mediáticas, como por la significación que cada generación otorga a los bienes culturales. Las marcas juveniles de identidad hoy parecen claras: salir en grupo, tener una sociabilidad de “banda”, divertirse, conocer lo último en música, mirar los programas de televisión qu...
With The Book of Intimate Grammar, leading Israeli novelist David Grossman gives us the story of the greatest and most universal tragedy, the loss of the world of childhood. At twelve, Aron Kleinfeld is the ringleader among the boys in his Jerusalem neighborhood, their inspiration in dreaming up games and adventures. But as his friends begin to mature, Aron remains imprisoned for three long years in the body of a child. While Israel inches toward the Six-Day War, and the voices of his friends change and become strange to him, Aron lives in his child body as though in a nightmare. Like a spy in enemy territory, he learns to decipher the internal codes of sexuality and desire, to understand the unyielding bureaucracy of the human body. Hurled between childhood and adulthood, between the pure and the profane, he is like a volcano of emotions and impulses. But, like his hero Houdini, Aron still struggles to escape from the trap of growing up. The Book of Intimate Grammar is about the alchemy of childhood, which transforms loneliness and fear into creation, and about the struggle to emerge an artist. Funny, painful, and passionate, it is a work of enormous intensity and beauty.

The path of economic development is paved with risks and opportunities. On the one hand, facing risk is a difficult challenge; on the other, the opportunity for growth and welfare improvement may never materialize without confronting and even taking risks. This is true for individuals, families, enterprises, and nations.

David Grossman affronta il più potente tra i sentimenti: la gelosia. E lo fa in due storie in cui il narratore racconta a un altro (o forse a se stesso) il tradimento di cui è, o si sente, vittima.
Safety nets are noncontributory transfer programs targeted to the poor or vulnerable. They play important roles in social policy. Safety nets redistribute income, thereby immediately reducing poverty and inequality; they enable households to invest in the human capital of their children and in the livelihoods of their earners; they help households manage risk, both ex ante and ex post; and they allow governments to implement macroeconomic or sectoral reforms that support efficiency and growth. To be effective, safety nets must not only be well intended, but also well designed and well implemented. A good safety net system and its programs are tailored to country circumstances, adequate in th...
