Pandemic Protagonists
During the first mandatory lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic, citizens worldwide turned to »pandemic fictions« or started to produce their own »Corona Fictions« across different media. These accounts of (previously) experienced or imagined health crises feature a great variety of protagonists and their (re)actions in response to the exceptional circumstances. The contributors to this volume take a closer look at different pandemic protagonists in fictional narratives relating to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as in existing pandemic fictions. Thereby they provide new insights into pandemic narratives from a cultural, literary, and media studies perspective from antiquity to today.

Fiori italiani
I Fiori italiani di Meneghello ci dicono che una sola scintilla di intelligenza sprigionata da un insegnante basta a riordinare l'appreso, a trarne frutto, e basta ad avviare alla comprensione critica e alla civile partecipazione. Tullio De Mauro
Marco Paolini
Marco Paolini: A Deep Map breaks new ground in the field of Italian political theatre by outlining the unique approach of one of Italy’s most celebrated playwrights, Marco Paolini, whose work has hitherto remained mostly inaccessible to English-speaking audiences. This book is the first substantial study of Paolini’s corpus in English. Additionally, it offers an in-depth analysis of Paolini’s unique methods by focusing on the recovery of collective cultural memory through theatre and in-depth historical and political context. Author Cristina Perissinotto engages critically with art and politics in Italy specifically but also considers implications and relevance on a global scale. Perissinotto’s multidisciplinary approach simultaneously draws upon memory studies, history, and poetry. She demonstrates how Paolini’s plays use techniques already in use to ancient Greek theatre, which called for the engagement of actors in political commentary from the stage, connecting them directly with the public on social and ethical issues.
Rewriting and Rereading the XIX and XX-Century Canons
The book takes its lead from academic Annamaria Pagliaro’s experience straddling Australia and Italy over a thirty-year period. As both former colleagues and collaborators of Pagliaro, we editors intend to open a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the international research landscape in the fields of Italian and Anglophone studies, starting from Pagliaro’s own contribution to the creation of relations between the two cultures in the period that saw her work transnationally as Director of the Monash University Prato Centre (2005-2008).
Pomo pero
Nuova edizione 2021 - Un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo: è questo Pomo pero, un ritorno ai luoghi dell'infanzia e della giovinezza di Meneghello, con cui prosegue - a dieci anni di distanza -, il "ciclo di Malo" iniziato col suo celebrato capolavoro - Libera nos a malo. Sono pagine, queste, in cui con nuovo slancio emotivo e linguistico l'autore fa rivivere le tradizioni del paese natio nell'Alto Vicentino, attraverso le "voci" del dialetto e il suo incontro-scontro con l'italiano. Ci ritroviamo - filtrate dal ricordo e narrate con ironia e poesia in una struttura composita che alterna prosa, sequenze di vocaboli dialettali e versi - le "memorie di un italiano" del suo e del nostro tempo. I Paralipomeni del sottotitolo rivelano la loro natura di "aggiunte", frammenti autobiografici che si riverberano sull'intera società e - servendosi della lingua come macchina del tempo - fanno di Malo un microcosmo che ancora oggi siamo chiamati a visitare.
“Ognuno porta dentro di sé un mondo intero”
Questa miscellanea in onore della studiosa di Lingua e letteratura turca Ayşe Saraçgil riunisce contributi di studiose e studiosi provenienti da diverse discipline e culture con l’obiettivo di creare un dialogo interdisciplinare e interculturale su temi affini, strettamente legati all’attualità sociale e politica. Al centro del volume si colloca un’analisi del ruolo che le discipline umanistiche possono svolgere nel trattare delle dinamiche complesse e articolate quali questioni di genere, il corpo e la sessualità, la memoria storica e culturale, i processi di costruzione identitaria nazionale, le marginalità e i paradigmi centro/periferia.
Vascular Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Mild Cognitive Impairment
"Cerebrovascular and Alzheimer disease often occur together, but are usually studied apart. This book offers a timely integrated approach to both diseases. Beginning with a section on epidemiology and neuropsychology, this volume goes on to discuss and explore the neuropathological and neurophysiological mechanisms of these disorders. This book then develops a novel concept of an Alzheimer disease/vascular dementia spectrum. Sections on neuroimaging, as well as treatments and interventions follow. The editors have succeeded in gathering an impressive group of clinicians and scientists, who are well qualified by their achievements and leadership to make important contributions to this new integrated approach to dementing disorders. This important book should have broad appeal to anyone studying or caring for patients with dementing disorders, as it is comprehensive, yet focused on a unitary, complementary and pragmatic approach"--
