Place as Material Culture
The present book explores the complexity of the past, by analysing the relationships between place, territory, the material value of objects and landscapes, time and ritual, during archaeological investigations. It presents the archaeology of place as a series of interconnecting and interactive relationships. It is clear that things and places do not emerge without some form of agency, usually through the concept of material manipulation, coupled with elaboration, innovation and time. Depending on the raw material used and the process of manipulation and its relationship with the environment, materiality gains value. How do we as modern humans work within the complexity of place, materiality...
Viaggio in Cosmogonia
In questa preziosa raccolta poetica di Ode, una delle voci più suggestive della variegata costellazione francofona contemporanea, possiamo ritrovare i riflessi accecanti della luce della Creazione: « E la Notte buia si fece Giorno / E il Giorno si fece Notte stellata / ... La Luce... ».Viaggio in Cosmogonia rappresenta simbolicamente il periplo dell’umana parola in un mondo segnato dal caos primordiale: alla poesia spetta il compito di « raccogliere il Segreto / che strapperà / gli Uomini alla tragedia / e li restituirà alla Luce ».

Beyond the Margin
The editors' goal in this book is to give a critical overview of where Italian/American literary and cultural studies are today. To this end, Beyond the Margin includes three types of essays: the characteristics of Italian/American literature and culture in a general sense; specific writers; and film.
The Roman Empress Ulpia Severina
Of the twelve Augustae who lived during the fifty years of the so-called “military anarchy” (235-284 A.D.), Ulpia Severina, wife of the “Illyrian” emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD), is certainly one of the most enigmatic and less known. The book focuses on Ulpia Severina, who, even though never mentioned by name in literary sources, has been studied almost exclusively from the perspective of the numerous coins issued in her name and is the subject of many interesting honorific inscriptions that had not been thoroughly examined or adequately valued until this study. This exceptional situation, represented by the sole presence of Ulpia Severina on the throne of Rome, deserves more attention than it has received. The pages of the university history textbooks dedicated to the reconstruction of a fifty-year phase of Roman-imperial history must be, if not rewritten, at least integrated in order to give the deserved space to this empress and, therefore, to the so-called “interregnum,” which lasted at least two months, between the death of Aurelian and the advent of emperor Tacitus.
BRINDISI nel contesto della storia
Perché non "raccontare" la storia di Brindisi nel contesto della storia? E così facilitare ai lettori interessati a meglio orientarsi nella oggettivamente complessa articolata e comunque densissima e avvincente storia plurimillenaria della città? È nata così questa proposta: chiara, semplice e schematica; un testo in due colonne parallele; sulla colonna di sinistra il "contesto della storia" e su quella di destra la "storia di Brindisi". Due testi di fatto del tutto separati: ognuno dei due da poter essere letto in maniera del tutto indipendente dall'altro. L'idea è che si possa scorrere la storia di Brindisi e, nel momento in cui lo si ritenga opportuno e utile, o necessario per meglio recepire o valorizzare quella storia, si possa al contempo consultare il contesto storico in cui quella storia di Brindisi trascorse. D'altra parte, anche se incredibile, esistono solo due o tre libri sulla Storia di Brindisi, dalle origini ad oggi, e tutti sono oltremodo datati, nonché non più disponibili.
Honoring God and the City
This is the first detailed history of musical activities at Venetian lay confraternities. Based on over two decades of research in Venetian archives, the book traces musical practices from the origins of the earliest confraternities in the mid-thirteenth century through their suppression under the French and Austrian governments of Venice in the early nineteenth century. The first section of the book treats the scuole grandi, the largest and most important of the Venetian confraternities, and the only ones to maintain musical establishments for long periods. The second portion of the book is concerned with the scuole piccole, the numerous less-important confraternities, sometimes as many as 300 of which were active simultaneously, located in churches throughout Venice. Appendices include an attempt to reconstruct a calendar of musical events at all Venetian confraternities in the early eighteenth century, demonstrating the vital role they played in the cultural and ceremonial life of this great city.
Feminine Feminists
Feminine Feminists was first published in 1994. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. What does it mean to be a woman today in Italy, a country with the lowest birthrate in the world and the heaviest maternal stereotype? Does being a feminist exclude practices of cultural femininity? What are Italian women's cultural productions? These questions are at the center of this volume, which looks at how feminism and femininity are embedded in a broad spectrum of Italian cultural practices. In recent years, several books have introduced the America...
