Eastern Europe and the Challenges of Modernity, 1800-2000

By: Stefano Bianchini

This book presents a concise and comprehensive overview of the mainstream flows of ideas, politics and itineraries towards modernity in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans over two centuries from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the Gorbachev administration. Unlike other books on the subject which view modernity based on the idea of Western European supremacy, this book outlines the various different pathways of development, and of growing industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation which took place across the region. It provides rich insights on the complex networks whereby very varied ideas, aspirations and policies interacted to bring about a varied pattern of progress, and of integration and isolation, with different areas moving in different ways and at different paces. Overall the book presents something very different from the traditional picture of the" two Europes". Particular examples covered include agrarian reform movements, in various phases, different models of socialism, and different models of socialist reform.

Cultures of Identification in Napoleonic Italy, c.1800–1814

By: Stefano Poggi

Through the lens of identification procedures, this book examines how the processes of state-building affected European societies during the Napoleonic period. By focusing on the Kingdom of Italy, the author shows how the top-down change usually associated with Napoleonic state-building had to compete and share spaces with the agencies of other often-neglected actors such as local bureaucrats, the clergy, and common people. What emerges is the coexistence of different understandings of personal identities, defined as “cultures of identification”. One was rooted in the traditional habits of the population and based on a continuous performance of identities, allowing for a certain degree of fluidity. The other, promoted by the Napoleonic administration, envisaged legal and fixed identities that were to be managed directly by agents of the state. Personal identification in Napoleonic Italy was thus more of a battleground than a mere field of action for the “modernizing” activities of state authorities. Analyzing a period of momentous change for European societies, Cultures of Identification can be profitably read by students and researchers interested in the history of state-building, policing, social control, and personal identification.

Phenomenology of Anxiety

By: Stefano Micali

This volume offers a thorough description of anxiety from a phenomenological perspective. Building on Bakhtin’s insights, the author develops the method of “phenomenological polyphony,” which can do justice to the essential ambiguity of anxiety. In this polyphony, the voices of Kierkegaard, Husserl, Freud, Blumenberg, Heidegger, Sartre, Adorno, Derrida and Levinas are particularly recognizable. The book explores new perspectives on the complex relation between anxiety, fear, and trauma with reference to different disciplines, from art history to cultural anthropology, from psychopathology to theology, from literature to political philosophy. When is anxiety justified? When does anxiety cease to function as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats, and when does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? This volume presents a deep philosophical inquiry into the affective phenomenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself. Moreover, the author explores the relevance of anxiety in the context of philosophical anthropology. In various theoretical frameworks, the difference between anxiety and fear serves as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals in particular. Accordingly, research on anxiety is crucial for defining human nature as such. The analysis presented in this volume shows how an alteration of the dimensions of embodiment, time-consciousness, and phantasy takes place in anxiety. Furthermore, the author elaborates on new categories for understanding of anxiety, such as quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation, which eludes the traditional differentiation between perception and imagination. The work culminates in a phenomenological analysis of five essential traits of anxiety: 1. its quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation; 2. its negative inspiration; 3. the recurrence of bodily manifestations; 4. the interlocution with an alien power; 5. its negative teleology.

Green Obsession

Trees Towards Cities, Humans Towards Forests

By: Stefano Boeri Architetti

Green Obsession traces the long path that architect Stefano Boeri and his studio - Stefano Boeri Architetti - have followed in the last fifteen years of practice, aiming at the redefinition of the relationship between city and nature. The book follows a discursive thread, alternating dialogues and scientific essays by some of the main protagonists who have contributed to widening the perspective on this subject, helping to raise awareness while protecting the world and its biodiversity. Cities have contributed for centuries to the promotion of some of humanity’s greatest ideas, we must now urgently include them as among the principal players in the environmental debate and at the forefront of any policy tackling and countering – possibly reversing - climate change. Nevertheless, even today one of the most significant technologies capable of absorbing CO2 and restoring our environment is photosynthesis. Planting trees, in addition to protecting existing natural areas and biodiversity, together with de-carbonization, renewable energies, digitalization, smart mobility and the circular economy could be the set of strategies necessary to tackle climate change. Today the effects of the Anthropocene age are ever more visible, changing our environment and affecting every species that lives within it. Green Obsession offers a path to be taken, a hard but still necessary paradigm shift – even for architecture and urbanism – that aims to give a voice to this much needed ecological transition. This book aims to unveil the processes and the complexity involved in the search for a new kind of urbanism, while raising questions and opening old wounds related to the relationship between the human species and Nature and finally putting these fragments together to create a portrait of our era. We need to conceive cities as new green catalysts. Now more than ever, it is essential to act together as separate individuals and professionals, joining the cause as members of the global community with a shared environmental strategy. We all have to open the era of a new alliance between Nature and City. With Contributions from Emanuele Coccia, Jane Goodall, Paul Hawken, Cecil Konijnendijk, David Miller, Harini Nagendra, Giuseppe Sala and Giorgio Vacchiano.

A Riot Of My Own - Romanzo (Tascabile)

By: Stefano Dorigo,Pantaleo Elicio

La storia racconta la vita di Sergio. Dopo la giovinezza trascorsa in una Milano calda, ribelle e libera, una città che ricorda molto la capitale meneghina degli anni '70 e delle lotte dell'area dell'autonomia operaia, Sergio si vede costretto a nascondersi dalla polizia, in quanto ricercato in ragione del suo attivismo politico. Dopo un breve ma intenso periodo di latitanza, passato tra l'Italia e Vienna, troverà rifugio a Parigi, dove potrà finalmente, lentamente e con difficoltà, costruirsi una nuova vita. Dopo ventitré anni di esilio ritorna a Milano, dove si confronta con un Paese dove la contro-rivoluzione ha portato al razzismo di Stato e alla mercificazione selvaggia di ogni cosa. L'Italia di Berlusconi. Azione, tumulti e intensità filosofica s'intrecciano con momenti ultra comici che fanno sorridere, ridere e che trasmettono una forte gioia a chi legge. Un romanzo d'azione, d'amore e di vita tra i più genuini e intensi. #Seconda edizione, con la prefazione di Gianfranco Pancino#

Iride

By: Stefano Gallone

Fare dell'esistenza un luogo di crescita e maturità interiore, un cumulo funereo di marciume in letargo esistenziale, concepito come un leale nemico da combattere quotidianamente ad armi pari e con il sostegno fondamentale della consapevolezza di non esser soli. Fa da contraltare una riscontrabile vena di contraddizione. Cercare di cogliere la soluzione migliore per incentivare la lotta contro l'eterno e universale isolamento dell'uomo moderno, alle quali fanno da contrapposizione deprimenti ed inevitabili ritorni ad un negativismo insito nella natura della blasfemia nemica delle direttive esistenziali da puro mercato. Si lotta quotidianamente contro l'anonimato tra le grinfie del desiderio sincero di espressione ma, puntualmente, si cede nel preciso istante in cui l' "iride" dell'occhio interiore si arrende all'incapacità di alzare la voce definitivamente. Esporsi e rinnegare altrui obblighi o ingoiare il seme dell'immobilità nel fertile stomaco del divenire?

Valerio Rocco Orlando: The Reverse Grand Tour

By: Valerio Rocco Orlando,Ludovico Pratesi,Angelandreina Rorro,Stefano Chiodi,Adrienne Drake,Raffaele Gavarro,Ilaria Gianni,Luca Lo Pinto,Bartolomeo Pietromarchi,Valentina Sansone,Maria Rosa Sossai

Il progetto di Valerio Rocco Orlando The Reverse Grand Tour si propone come una riflessione sul senso attuale di quel fascino attrattivo che a partire dal XVII secolo spingeva i giovani dell’aristocrazia inglese e nord europea alla scoperta della culla della classicità, tra i monumenti greci e romani di Roma e Pompei, Ercolano e Siracusa, Paestum e Segesta. Valerio Rocco Orlando ci invita a un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo, a un’epoca in cui l’educazione passava inevitabilmente dall’Italia, quando la politica, la cultura e l’arte del Bel Paese costituivano una condizione necessaria di conoscenza e di apprendimento, per rientrare poi in patria impreziositi nell’animo, accresciuti nella mente e ingentiliti nell’aspetto. Non era allora infrequente che gli artisti stranieri ospiti nelle Accademie facessero da chaperon per accompagnare i giovani rampolli alla scoperta degli scorci della Roma Antica, dei suoi angoli più remoti, o che si offrissero di dipingere per loro un fiero ritratto o un paesaggio di rovine, interpretate alla luce calda di un primaverile meriggio capitolino. Esiste dunque un forte legame storico tra la pratica del Grand Tour, l’universo delle Accademie straniere a Roma e le collezioni della Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, cominciate proprio nel 1911, quando entra nell’edificio costruito da Bazzani un capolavoro di Gustav Klimt, Le tre età della donna (1905), acquistato dallo Stato in occasione della mostra internazionale organizzata per l’Expo. E’ un filo rosso che Valerio Rocco Orlando ha scelto di riportare alla luce, attraverso la sua personale e corale pratica artistica.
