Between Concept and Identity
The identity of places of worship is one of the most difficult problems faced by religious architecture at the start of this new millennium. Contemporary globalising experiences demand, peremptorily, a reflection, both conceptual and situational, on the origin of objects, people and institutions. Nevertheless, the chance of these migration flows annihilating already-existing religious identities is perceived as a problem. This problem is directly linked to the survival of architecture as a system carrying a material representation of the divine and constituting a self-reference system for the community of believers. Therefore, it is important to define the extent to which the new religious a...

The Line of Arch
The essays that compose this book turn around aesthetic and ethical questions, intertwining the two dimensions. They are intended to elaborate an interculturalphilosophy: without idealizing any single way of thinking or any tradition, without idolizing any lazy relativism, the author wants to show how interculturalityis neither an ultimate system of thought, nor a disconnected plurality of opinions. Surmounting both monism and dualism, this work leads to deal with thephilosophical character of cultural “dribblings”, through which we can grasp the links and relations between identity and difference. As the Italian writer Italo Calvino writes in his novel The Invisible Cities, when we build an arch we cannot forget that its line is necessarily composed by the plurality of its stones. Thinkingthrough different languages and traditions aims to manifest the unspeakable ground on which all the elements of reality meet, and at the same time it aims to caretheir contingency.

Galician Cultural Identity in the Works of Ramón Otero Pedrayo
In the 1920s, a group of Galician intellectuals known as the Xeracion Nos began, through their literary output and political activities, to articulate and reinterpret Galician cultural identity after several centuries of cultural repression and centralization. This book examines both the nexus of inherited positions of this cultural recovery and its original formulation, through the works of one of the most prominent intellectual of the Xeracion Nos, Ramon Otero Pedrayo.

Panikkar
One hundred years after his birth, the exceptional personality and eclectic knowledge of Raimon Panikkar are still the object of interest and research by scholars from all over the world, helping to strengthen the “Panikkar legend”. From this accurate biography, which intertwines his life with his works and follows the footsteps of the original erratic path of Tavertet’s philosopher, the profile of one of the main innovators of the Western theological and philosophical tradition emerges, a man who has dialogued with the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century and can rightly be counted among them. Born in Barcelona to a catalan mother and a hindu father, Raimon Panikkar (1918-2010) ...
Sex and the Vatican
Un reportage in prima persona, ricco di rivelazioni, retroscena, testimonianze inedite, in un percorso che prende il via dai dintorni del Vaticano tra vizi privati e pubbliche virtù. Un racconto in presa diretta, di grande forza narrativa, resoconto di confidenze e incontri segreti, a volte dolenti a volte sconcertanti. Un'inchiesta esclusiva, che rifiuta lo scandalismo fine a se stesso ma sceglie comunque di riportare le storie più intime e dolorose come quelle più difficili e scabrose, di provare a capire, di non voltare lo sguardo.
