COVID Communication
This book focuses on how we understand COVID-19—medically, socially, and rhetorically. Given the expectation that other flu pandemics will occur, it stresses the importance of examining how the public response is shaped in the face of global health emergencies. It considers questions such as how can pandemic language both limit and expand our understanding of disease as biomedical, social, and experiential? In what ways can health communication be improved through the study and application of rhetoric and the health humanities? COVID Communication fills a gap in the pandemic literature by promoting interdisciplinary analysis of communication methods, realized through a health humanities ap...

“A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of 'Gladiator'
This volume adds to previous historical and political studies about 'Gladiator' with essays about the movie’s relation to pop culture and contemporary discourses. It not only relates 'Gladiator' to traditional cinema aspects such as heroism, music, acting, studio culture, and visual effects, but it also connects the film to sports, religion, and the environment, expanding the ways in which the film can be evaluated by modern audiences. The volume can be read by individuals or in classroom settings, especially as a recommended text for students studying the ancient world in film.
Virginia Woolf as a Process-Oriented Thinker
Virginia Woolf as a Process-Oriented Thinker: Parallels Between Woolf’s Fiction and Process Philosophy introduces Virginia Woolf as a nondualist and process-oriented thinker whose ideas are, despite no direct influence, strikingly similar to those of Alfred North Whitehead. Veronika Krajíčková argues that in their respective fields, literature and philosophy, Woolf and Whitehead both criticized the materialist turn of their time and attempted to reattribute importance to experience and undermine long-rooted dualisms such as subject and object, the animate and the inanimate, the human and the nonhuman, or the self and the other. By erasing the gaps between these dualities, the two thinke...

The Economy of Francesco
This volume proposes a revisit of some key words of economic discourse, through the ethical perspective developed in the context of Francis' Economy. The reflections of young researchers, participating in the international movement of the EoF, invites readers to confront the conceptual instruments that are at the basis of a dominant economic thought, rethinking them ethically, in an inclusive and pluralistic way, inspired by the mystical exhortation received by Francis of Assisi: "Go, repair my house".

B@belonline vol. speciale 2021 Il nuovo atlante di Sophia/ Sophia’s New Atlas
Questo numero speciale di B@belonline, vuole essere una sorta di instant-book sulle tematiche tragiche del 2020, un anno in cui il mondo è stato colpito da una pandemia devastante e inaspettata, i cui effetti sulla vita personale, comunitaria e sociale aumentano con il trascorrere del tempo. La scienza in tutte le sue declinazioni ha parlato, non solo tecnici e economisti, ma anche sociologi e psicologi; da tutti una parola di autorevolezza, finora unici punti di riferimento per noi smarriti abitanti di un mondo improvvisamente deserto. In questa agorà forse è mancata la parola di filosofe/i, proprio quando invece sarebbe stata necessaria anche una riflessione critica da parte loro. Ma di...
