By: Francesco Lupo

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Un nuovo, letale virus sta colpendo gli utenti del peer to peer, ma non si tratta di un virus informatico. Una sindrome misteriosa, legata a un’antica leggenda e a una maledizione, sta mietendo vittime in tutta Europa a causa di un video casalingo distribuito random sul web, nel quale viene filmato l’omicidio di un’adolescente: nottetempo, chiunque abbia la sventura di osservare il filmato rimane orrendamente paralizzato, ma cosciente, fino al sopraggiungere di una morte lenta e angosciosa. Quando anche a Londra, Mae Ho e Nick Norwood vengono colpiti dal morbo misterioso, l’amico Lalo, con l’aiuto di un professore universitario e di un hacker informatico, si metterà sulle tracce della maledizione che accompagna il video. Una ricerca che lo condurrà lontano e che lo porterà a rischiare la vita pur di trovare la soluzione a questo inspiegabile rompicapo. La Fillette Triste è un thriller che unisce archeologia e informatica, azione e divertimento. La soluzione del mistero si dipanerà a poco a poco in un susseguirsi di colpi di scena che lasceranno il lettore con il fiato sospeso, in un intreccio che unisce realtà e fantasia, archeologia, mitologia, psicologia.

The Films of Jesus Franco, 1953-1966

By: Francesco Cesari,Roberto Curti

With more than 180 films during a career spanning several decades, Jesus Franco (1930-2013) was an extraordinarily prolific and chameleon-like Spanish director, covering virtually every genre from horror to film noir, adventure and erotic, and adapting to all kinds of productions. A one-of-a-kind filmmaker, he was boldly original in the themes, style, and in his idea of cinema. This book examines his life and career between his first short film to the moment he cut his ties with his home country and became an "international" director, with a detailed production history and critical analysis of his films, placing his work within the social and political context of Spanish culture, politics, and cinema. Franco's most critically praised works are covered, namely such cult horror classics as The Awful Dr. Orlof and The Diabolical Dr. Z, as well as his working relationship with Orson Welles, whom he was to direct in a 1964 unfinished adaptation of Treasure Island. Detailed production history and critical analysis of his films are provided, placing his work within the context of Spanish culture, politics, and film industry. The book also includes plenty of never-before-seen bits of information and in-depth discussion of Franco's previously uncovered scripts, essays, and short films, as well as his unmade projects of the period.

Fear Thy Neighbor: Spillovers from Economic Policy Uncertainty

By: Nina Biljanovska,Francesco Grigoli,Martina Hengge

High levels of economic policy uncertainty in various parts of the world revamped the de- bate about its impact on economic activity. With increasingly stronger economic, financial, and political ties among countries, economic agents have more reasons to be vigilant of for- eign economic policy. Employing heterogeneous panel structural vector autoregressions, this paper tests for spillovers from economic policy uncertainty on other countries' economic ac- tivity. Furthermore, using local projections, the paper zooms in on shocks originating in the United States, Europe, and China. Our results suggest that economic policy uncertainty re- duces growth in real output, private consumption, and private investment, and that spillovers from abroad account for about two-thirds of the negative effect. Moreover, uncertainty in the United States, Europe, and China reduces economic activity in the rest of the world, with the effects being mostly felt in Europe and the Western Hemisphere.

Dante's Performance

Music, Dance, and Drama in the "Commedia"

By: Francesco Ciabattoni

Through an historical and philological lens, this book explores passages from Dante's Commedia which reveal elements inspired byprocessions, pageants, liturgical drama, psalm singing, or dance performance. The sacred poem finds influence in medieval theories of the performing arts as well as actual performances which Dante would have seen in churches or town squares. Dante's Performance opens a new perspective from which to consider the Commedia: Dante expected his contemporary readers to recognize references to and echoes of psalms, sacred plays, and performative practices. Twenty-first-century readers are tasked with reconstructing a cultural framework which allows us to grasp those same textual references. From the dramatization of the harrowing of hell in Inferno IX, to Beatrice's celebratory return on top of Mount Purgatory, to the songs of the blessed, this study connects Dante's language to coeval theoretical and practical texts about performance. If hell is "the Middle Age's theatrum diaboli," purgatory stages a performed purification through songs and acting, while paradise offers the spectacle of blessed spirits within the heavenly spheres as an aid to human understanding (Par. IV 28-39).

Words in Time

A Plea for Historical Re-thinking

By: Francesco Benigno

Through questions such as ‘What is power?’, ‘How are revolutions generated?’, ‘Does public opinion really exist?’, ‘What does terrorism mean?’ and ‘When are generations created?’, Words in Time scrutinizes the fundamental concepts by which we confer meaning to the historical and social world and what they actually signify, analysing their formation and use in modern thought within both history and the social sciences. In this volume, Francesco Benigno examines the origins and development of the words we use, critiquing the ways in which they have traditionally been employed in historical thinking and examining their potential usefulness today. Rather than being a general inventory or a specialized dictionary, this book analyses a selection of words particularly relevant not only in the idiom and jargon of the social sciences and history, but also in the discourse of ordinary people. Exploring new trends in the historical field of reflection and representing a call for a new, more conscious, historical approach to the social world, this is valuable reading for all students of historical theory and method.

The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law

By: Francesco Belfiore

The revised edition of The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law adds new concepts and discusses the views of additional thinkers. The author refers to his basic ontological conception of the human “mind” or “spirit” as an evolving, conscious, triadic entity composed of intellect, sensitivity, and power, each exerting a bidirectional (selfish and moral) activity. Through this approach, the notions of good, morality, society, and law are derived from the structure and functioning of the mind. It follows that the solutions presented are the results of a discovery and not the consequence of a choice. Otherwise stated, ethics, politics, and law are given an ontological foundation. For each topic considered, Belfiore shows how his thought can reinterpret the views of other philosophers. This new edition, enriched in concepts and quotations, appears as an innovative and highly stimulating contribution to the philosophical branches of ethics, politics, and law, and will be of interest to both graduate students and philosophy scholars.

Consuming Extreme Sports

Psychological Drivers and Consumer Behaviours of Extreme Athletes

By: Francesco Raggiotto

This book explores the consumption behaviour of ‘extreme’ athletes from a quantitative perspective. Extreme sports are a multi-billion-dollar industry. The behaviour of athletes who participate in them differs from the majority of consumers in that they voluntarily seek out risky and dangerous situations that other consumers actively avoid. It has therefore been suggested that these consumer-athletes may have a unique psychology in this regard. The book adopts a novel approach based on established psychological theories concerning the behaviour of extreme individuals, applying and translating them into marketing research and practice. It discusses how specific psychological drivers impact the consumption behaviour of consumer-athletes and a variety of marketing-relevant outcomes. By demonstrating that extreme consumers are characterized by a unique psychology that leads them to act and think differently, this book offers scholars deeper insights into consumer behaviour, while also helping practitioners target this lucrative marketing segment more effectively.

INVECTIVES

By: Francesco Petrarca

Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374), one of the greatest of Italian poets, was also the leading spirit in the Renaissance movement to revive ancient Roman language and literature. Just as Petrarch's Latin epic Africa imitated Virgil and his compendium On Illustrious Men was inspired by Livy, so Petrarch's four Invectives were intended to revive the eloquence of the great Roman orator Cicero. The Invectives are directed against the cultural idols of the Middle Ages--against scholastic philosophy and medicine and the dominance of French culture in general. They defend the value of literary culture against obscurantism and provide a clear statement of the values of Renaissance humanism. This volume provides a new critical edition of the Latin text based on the two autograph copies, and the first English translation of three of the four invectives. Table of Contents: Introduction Invectives against a Physician Invective against a Man of High Rank with No Knowledge or Virtue On His Own Ignorance and That of Many Others Invective against a Detractor of Italy Note on the Texts and Translations Notes to the Text Notes to the Translation Bibliography Index

The Roesler Franz saga

By: Francesco Roesler Franz

La Saga dei Roesler Franz è un viaggio intimo e intenso nella storia della famiglia Roesler Franz che si è trasferita nel 1747 da Praga a Roma dove aveva la proprietà dell' Hotel d'Alemagna in via dei Condotti nel quartiere cosmopolita della città, come venne definita la zona di piazza di Spagna da Giacomo Casanova. Nella storia della famiglia il personaggio più importante è sicuramente Ettore Roesler Franz, artista che ha saputo catturare nei suoi acquerelli l'essenza di una Roma che stava scomparendo sotto i colpi del mattone per rendere Roma la capitale del nuovo stato italiano. Questo libro è molto più di una biografia: è infatti, un affresco storico e culturale, una meditazione sulla natura dell'arte e sulla capacità di essa di resistere al trascorrere del tempo. Ettore Roesler Franz, attraverso i suoi acquerelli, ha fermato il tempo, catturando la bellezza fugace di una Roma in trasformazione. Il suo progetto principale, " Roma Sparita ", è un ponte tra passato e presente, un legame visivo tra la città eterna e le sue metamorfosi. Ma è anche la storia di un uomo e del suo inquieto peregrinare nel mondo dell'arte, una vita di passioni, disillusioni e ricerca costante della bellezza.

120 years of Cinema by lumière broters in 50 shades of grey

By: Francesco Primerano

The history of cinema is presented as a planetary firmament of myths and actors as timeless and ineffable and sublime art form. The film, in any kind is present, the show is ideal where it captures the supremacy of the soul, where the glory is the result of ideas and interpretations, where the style is unmistakable and emotions come to life in an unprecedented virtuosity. The book in question simply wants to celebrate 120 years of Cinema, the same cinema that made us love, dream and paint the best nectars of our lives, making us understand that despite everything, the show must go on. It is a journey into the world of cinema, the first short story "The arrival of a train at La Ciotat" (1895) by the Lumière brothers to the current movie "50 shades of gray" by Sam Taylor-Johnson, between 1000 timeless myths, from Marilyn Monroe to Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando James Dean, from Sophia Loren to Gina Lollobrigida, Totò, Massimo Troisi, Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot, from Monica Vitti in Virna Lisi, Alberto Sordi Roberto Benigni.

Remote Vision

(poetry 1999-2015)

By: Alessandro De Francesco

Remote Vision contains an English-Italian bilingual version of the most significant works in poetry and conceptual writing produced so far by Alessandro De Francesco. It is both a self-standing, coherent book and the most exhaustive collection of his poetry ever published in any language; containing a new version of the 2008 book Objects Displaced, the complete 2010 book Redefinition, the composite and still partially unpublished Cistern, the prose Foreign Body in Ascending Motion and the very recent work Inhabited Spaces. All the sections were rearranged for this publication by the author who decided that each section contain the complete English text followed by the complete Italian version, avoiding a face to face translation in order not to interrupt the flow of the reading. The whole book was beautifully translated by poets and Brown University alumni Belle Cushing and Dusty Neu, under the coordination of the acclaimed poet and Comparative Literature scholar Forrest Gander. This book condenses and proposes under a new light all the conceptual and emotional intensity of Alessandro De Francesco's poetry.

The Tribe

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Tribe

By: Jean-Michel Mension

The Tribe, the companion volume to Ralph Rumney's excellent The Consul is another fascinating slice of history concerning the ultra avant-garde's favourite sect. Jean-Michel Mension was a member of the Situationist International's precursor, the less political and more art focussed Lettrist International (which was founded in 1945 in Paris by the Romanian Jean-Isidore Isou as a reaction to Andre Breton's dictatorial control of the surrealist movement). Surrealism had become something of a cult of personality surrounding Breton and had drifted from its dada origins into mysticism. In 1956 at Alba in Italy a group of lettrists took an active part at the First World Congress of Liberated Artists (with the slogan "The International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus"). From June 1954 to November 1957 they published 29 numbers of their journal Potlatch. The last issue, formally indicating the direction the LI had been heading was subtitled "Bulletin d'information de l'internationale situationiste". The SI was soon to be born. In a series of interviews, Jean-Michel Mension recalls drunken philosophising with Guy Debord and his circle in a book beautifully filled with Ed van der Elsken's celebrated photographs of "the tribe" accompanied by reproductions of Lettrist leaflets and posters. When he woke from his "long night of drinking" Mension became a militant of the Ligue Communiste while the SI became a continuing source of inspiration for the non-authoritarian left. The tensions in the avant-garde where real enough it seems and this is a fascinating, if tangential, account of them. --George Bowman
