Hagia Sophia and the Byzantine Aesthetic Experience
Paramount in the shaping of early Byzantine identity was the construction of the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (532-537 CE). This book examines the edifice from the perspective of aesthetics to define the concept of beauty and the meaning of art in early Byzantium. Byzantine aesthetic thought is re-evaluated against late antique Neoplatonism and the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius that offer fundamental paradigms for the late antique attitude towards art and beauty. These metaphysical concepts of aesthetics are ultimately grounded in experiences of sensation and perception, and reflect the ways in which the world and reality were perceived and grasped, signifying the cultural identit...

Speculative Everything
How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures. Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be—to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the ki...
Il dono
Scritto fra il 1935 e il 1937, ultimo romanzo russo di Nabokov, "Il dono" è forse anche il primo, e certo il più inesauribile, romanzo russo del Novecento. Al suo centro incontriamo l’iniziazione alla letteratura, all’amore, all’età adulta, di un giovane emigrato russo nella Berlino degli anni Venti, figura in cui sin dall’inizio il lettore sarà tentato di riconoscere una trasposizione di Nabokov stesso, mentre alla fine, stupefatto e ammaliato dalla complessità dei rimandi che costellano tutto il romanzo, sarà tentato di riconoscerla ovunque e in nessuna parte – e cioè appunto in quello stesso vertiginoso gioco di rifrazioni. Ma, al tempo stesso, "Il dono" è il romanzo del...
Lesbian Activism in the (Post-)Yugoslav Space
This book intertwines academic and activist voices to engage with more than three decades of lesbian activism in the Yugoslav space. The empirically rich contributions uncover a range of lesbian initiatives and the fundamental, but rarely acknowledged, role that lesbian alliances have played in articulating a feminist response to the upsurge of nationalism, widespread violence against women, and high levels of lesbophobia and homophobia in all of the post-Yugoslav states. By offering a distinctly intergenerational and transnational perspective, this collection does not only shed new light on a severely marginalised group of people, but constitutes a pioneering effort in accounting for the in...
