Writing the Dark Side of Travel
The travel experience filled with personal trauma; the pilgrimage through a war-torn place; the journey with those suffering: these represent the darker sides of travel. What is their allure and how are they represented? This volume takes an ethnographic and interdisciplinary approach to explore the writings and texts of dark journeys and travels. In traveling over the dead, amongst the dying, and alongside the suffering, the authors give us a tour of humanity’s violence and misery. And yet, from this dark side, there comes great beauty and poignancy in the characterization of plight; creativity in the comic, graphic, and graffiti sketches and comments on life; and the sense of profound and spiritual journeys being undertaken, recorded, and memorialized.

Trilingual Joyce
Trilingual Joyce is a detailed comparative study of James Joyce's personal involvement in both French and Italian translations of the iconic 1928 text Anna Livia Plurabelle, which later became the eighth chapter of Finnegans Wake. Considered to be completely untranslatable at the time of its publication, the translation of Anna Livia Plurabelle represented a fascinating challenge to Joyce, who collaborated in experimental renderings of the text, first into French and later into Italian. Patrick O'Neill's Trilingual Joyce is the first comparative study of all three of the Anna Livia Plurabelle variations, and fills a long-standing gap in Joyce studies. O'Neill, an Irish-born professor who has written widely on texts in translation, also discusses in detail the avant-guard novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett's contribution as a young man to the French rendering of Anna Livia Plurabelle.
Transizioni. Filosofia e cambiamento. In movimento con Heidegger, Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Habermas, Wittgenstein, Gramsci, Pasolini, Camus
I saggi qui raccolti hanno a che fare con l’inevitabilità del movimento che caratterizza il vivere. La vita è costantemente (in) divenire, (in) transizione, (in) cambiamento, attraversata e attraversante; pensare, allora, significa anche, e forse soprattutto, fare i conti con questo divenire. O, forse, il pensiero non solo si occupa di questo divenire, ma consiste in questo divenire. Appare così piuttosto ingenua la pretesa di voler comprendere la realtà a partire da sue ipostatizzazioni, anziché chiedere al pensiero di rendere per quanto possibile esplicito il divenire che avviene attorno e dentro ciascuno di noi, prendendo posizione, sempre in divenire, solo in conseguenza di un simile ragionamento. In tempi di crisi, come quello attuale, si assiste alla disperata ricerca di punti di riferimento duraturi, stabili, auspicabilmente immobili. Forse, invece, ogni crisi, valoriale o politico-sociale che sia, si può risolvere e prevenire solo a partire dalla considerazione che di fisso e certo, vi è solo il cambiamento.
Cina. La voce del potere
Quando la Cina si sveglierà il mondo tremerà , sembra aver detto Napoleone Bonaparte. Mai previsione fu più indovinata. La Cina si è svegliata e il mondo sta tremando. E si sta interrogando sulla natura e le conseguenze del terremoto cinese. Questo libro, pensato per essere letto in un’ora di tempo, non è come gli altri libri scritti da occidentali comodamente seduti alle loro scrivanie. È un libro che fa parlare i leader cinesi, coloro che, nel bene e nel male, hanno costruito la Cina di oggi. Attraverso i loro discorsi più significativi, tradotti in italiano, si ripercorrono le tappe della storia della Cina contemporanea fino all’esplosione attuale: il “grande balzo in avantiâ€...
