Irish Literature in Italy in the Era of the World Wars
This book addresses both the dissemination and increased understanding of the specificity of Irish literature in Italy during the first half of the twentieth century. This period was a crucial time of nation-building for both countries. Antonio Bibbò illustrates the various images of Ireland that circulated in Italy, focusing on political and cultural discourses and examines the laborious formation of an Irish literary canon in Italy. The center of this analysis relies on books and articles on Irish politics, culture, and literature produced in Italy, including pamplets, anthologies, literary histories, and propaganda; translations of texts by Irish writers; and archival material produced by writers, publishers, and cultural and political institutions. Bibbò argues that the construction of different and often conflicting ideas of Ireland in Italy as well as the wavering understanding of the distinctiveness of Irish culture, substantially affected the Italian responses to Irish writers and their presence within the Italian publishing field. This book contributes to the discussion on transnational aspects of canon formation, reception studies, and Italian cultural studies.
Scrittrici nomadi
Una nuova definizione del soggetto femminile – insegnano gli studi di Rosi Braidotti – parte dalla destabilizzazione di un concetto universale e universalistico di identità intesa come qualcosa di fisso e immutabile. Ricontestualizzando l’idea di soggetto nomade di deleuziana memoria in un’ottica femminile e femminista, la filosofa italo-australiana ridefinisce il soggetto femminile come nomade perché impossibile da racchiudere in una definizione univoca e totalizzante, ma continuamente esposto al processo del divenire, anche quando apparentemente situato in un preciso contesto spazio-temporale. Misurandosi con la suggestione dei suoi approcci teorici e non solo, i contributi di qu...
Group Identity Fabrication Theory
To date, there has been no comprehensive and coherent approach to determining the communicative and precommunicative processes involved in the construction of group identities. The present study fills this gap by developing a unified theoretical foundation that can be used to capture empirical construction processes. Moreover, it contributes to the domain of group communication research. It creates a basic theoretical riverbed that provides a conceptual foundation for the conception of inter- and intra-group communication, which does not take its starting point from 'objective' categories, but from de facto socialization processes. In addition, the architecture of an innovative social theory is presented using the example of the construction of group identity, which satisfies the demands of epistemological interests in communication studies and possibly also in other disciplines.
Ulrike Draesner
Ulrike Draesner is a prize-winning writer of novels, short stories, critical essays and poetry, and one of the foremost authors in Germany today. While a number of volumes have been published in German on her work, the current Companion offers the first volume on Draesner in English, capitalising on the interest in her work in Germany and further afield. Introducing Draesner’s major novels and short stories, poetry collections and essays, as well as giving an overview of existing research focusing on migration, memory, science, gender and bodily experience, chapters by international scholars in this volume also break new ground by focussing on visual culture, poetology, nature, the posthuman and Draesner’s reception of English literature and medieval culture. A comprehensive bibliography, commissioned interview and original writing by Draesner make the volume a valuable research tool for scholars and students. This will become essential reading for all those interested in Draesner, women’s writing, literature and history, and contemporary German prose and poetry.
Liver Disease and Surgery
The goal of this book is to present a review of the different categories of liver disease, as well as address the role of surgery in managing these complex diseases. The book includes chapters written by international experts on the most current indications and guidelines regarding the diagnoses and management of liver diseases, as well as a variety of technical elements involved with the surgical procedures. Different surgical techniques involved in performing a hepatectomy will be discussed, including various instruments used, as well as the effect of modern technology as evidenced by novel procedures. An important focus of the book has been identifying the proper place of all these hepate...
Cosmochemistry
The chemical composition of the Universe has evolved over billions of years. A host of astrophysical processes and observations must be understood in order to explain why celestial objects have the chemical compositions observed. Originally published in 2004, this book contains the lectures delivered at the XIII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which was dedicated to reviewing current knowledge about the origin and evolution of the chemical elements in the Universe. Written by seven prestigious astrophysics researchers, it covers cosmological and stellar nucleosynthesis, abundance determinations in stars and ionised nebulae, chemical composition of nearby and distant galaxies, and models of chemical evolution of galaxies and intracluster medium. This is a timely review of developments in cosmochemistry over the last decade.

La terra devastata
A cavallo tra il 1921 e il 1922, T.S. Eliot è preda di un grave esaurimento nervoso. La Prima guerra mondiale è finita da poco, da poco è concluso il conteggio dei cadaveri ammassati nelle trincee di mezza Europa. Il suolo del continente è maciullato, fetido, coperto da solchi e ferite ancora fresche, crivellato da crateri di bombe e granate. Non è una terra desolata, questa. È una terra devastata. Dal letto della sua clinica svizzera Eliot non smette di scrivere e, una volta a casa, mostra a Ezra Pound il manoscritto di The Waste Land, consegnando ai posteri un’opera fondamentale della letteratura del Novecento. Oggi, in questa nuova edizione, Carmen Gallo ritraduce e riplasma il poema di T.S. Eliot: ogni verso prende nuovo valore, ogni parola si sposta di senso, a partire da quelle del titolo. Perché questo racconto di disperazione, morte e rovina, ma anche di rinascita e fertilità, non ha smesso di parlare al lettore di oggi, e non smetterà di dire qualcosa a quello del futuro: nelle stanze di Eliot si svolge la partita a scacchi che la nostra civiltà, ciclicamente, gioca con la fine.
