Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa storia non ha coordinate precise, non ha un tempo né uno spazio. È un taccuino zeppo di appunti e frammenti di un viaggiatore che insegue se stesso in spicchi esotici di cielo, in città deserte e ramificate, nell'intimità forzata dei check-in. Il suo viaggio è un lento adeguarsi alla condizione di fuggiasco, la proiezione del suo rapporto col mondo e con l'amore, che vuole di volta in volta poter riscrivere. Succede ogni giorno, nel tragitto di ritorno a casa. Ogni giorno ci aspettiamo di essere da un'altra parte, diversi da ciò che siamo, intrusi perfino nella nostra porzione impercettibile di mondo. Col pensiero, prima o poi, di essere altrove.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enigma Helvetia indaga il rapporto complesso che, dalla fine dell'Ottocento ai giorni nostri, intercorre tra la produzione artistica, la storia, la cultura e l'immaginario del singolare laboratorio che è la Svizzera. Nel secolo appena trascorso si sono susseguiti profondi cambiamenti sociopolitici, al cospetto dei quali il paese ha profilato la propria identità e la propria posizione internazionale, condizionando inevitabilmente - per reazione o identificazione, rottura o assimilazione -, anche le espressioni di creatività . La mostra, documentata nel catalogo, propone un'esplorazione avventurosa, curiosa e persino divertente dentro l'enigma elvetico, affiancando alle straordinarie opere d'arte provenienti dai più importanti musei svizzeri, immagini e oggetti del quotidiano, delle tradizioni e della produzione industriale svizzera. Il volume edito in ed. bilingue italiano/inglese riporta al suo interno alcuni testi in tedesco, francese e romancio. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

Download or read book Free Trade and Free Ports in the Mediterranean written by Giulia Delogu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did free trade emerge in early-modern times? How did the Mediterranean as a specific region – with its own historical characteristics – produce a culture in which the free port appeared? What was the relation between the type of free trade created in early-modern Italy and the development of global trade and commercial competition between states for hegemony in the eighteenth century? And how did the position of the free port, originally a Mediterranean ‘invention’, develop over the course of time? The contributions to this volume address these questions and explain the institutional genealogy of the free port. Free Trade and Free Ports in the Mediterranean analyses the atypical history and conditions of the Mediterranean region in contradistinction with other regions as an explanation for how and why free ports arose there. This volume engages with the diffusion of free ports from a Mediterranean to a global phenomenon, whilst staying focused on how this diffusion was experienced in the Mediterranean itself. The contributions to this volume bring together the traditional issues of religious openness and tolerance in physically separated areas and the role of consuls and governors, via fiscal techniques, architectural and administrative aspects, with questions about geopolitical balance and primacy. The book will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of historical sub-disciplines (early modern, Mediterranean, global economic, political, and institutional, just to mention a few) and to students wishing to perfect their knowledge of the Mediterranean and its global interconnections, and of the origins of free trade.

Download or read book Images of Europe written by Francesco Mangiapane and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the fundamental semantics of images of Europe, which consist of valences, mirror beliefs and affectivities. This is why it relaunches the importance of the European discourse in its symbolic dimension. As such, it explores the many images of Europe, or rather the many images through which European discourse is actually constituted in daily life, in search of their enunciative responsibility in today’s world for determining the current “State of the Union”. The identity of the European continent is based on a millenary tension between universalism and particularism: images of Europe have in fact been alternately inspired, over the centuries, by a model of homogeneity – Roman and Carolingian imperial disposition – on the one hand, and by a model of fragmentation – a Europe of city-states, municipalities, regions and small fatherlands – on the other. In the European Union, a political and economic organism, this issue has recently been amplified to the point that it has reentered public debate, and political parties that are only recognizable for being Europeanists or anti-Europeanists are now ubiquitous. In this regard, one major bone of contention is how to portray the quintessential aspects of the European territory, which are either interpreted as “thresholds” to be overcome in the name of a model of United Europe – “integral totality” – or are instead regarded as insurmountable obstacles for a Europe that is irreparably and perhaps, according to anti-Europeanists, fortunately fragmented – “partitive totality”. Further, this is to be done without excluding the possibility of contradictory and complementary solutions to these binary visions. In this context the book analyzes various texts in order to obtain a more precise picture of the clash, reveal its semiotic forms, and by doing so, identify a way out of the crisis.

Download or read book Sissi s World written by Maura E. Hametz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sissi's World offers a transdisciplinary approach to the study of the Habsburg Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It investigates the myths, legends, and representations across literature, art, film, and other media of one of the most popular, revered, and misunderstood female figures in European cultural history. Sissi's World explores the cultural foundations for the endurance of the Sissi legends and the continuing fascination with the beautiful empress: a Bavarian duchess born in 1837, the longest-serving Austrian empress, and the queen of Hungary who died in 1898 at the hands of a crazed anarchist. Despite the continuing fascination with “the beloved Sissi," the Habsburg empress, her impact, and legacy have received scant attention from scholars. This collection will go beyond the popular biographical accounts, recountings of her mythic beauty, and scattered studies of her well-known eccentricities to offer transdisciplinary cultural perspectives across art, film, fashion, history, literature, and media.
Download or read book Exploring Postmodernism written by Matei Calinescu and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great diversity of contexts in which the term Postmodernism is currently encountered reflects the remarkable success of a coinage that has been in circulation for only about forty years. It has been used by philosophers, sociologists, art critics and literary historians to become, finally, a household word in the language of advertising and politics. Before letting it fade to a derelict cliché, an attempt is made in this volume of essays to use its potential as a cultural concept for the analysis and understanding of contemporary literature and thought.
Download or read book After Words written by Elizabeth Leake and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Words investigates how the suicide of an author informs critical interpretations of the author's works. Suicide itself is a form of authorship as well as a revision, both on the part of the author, who has written his or her final scene and revised the `natural' course of his or her life, and on the part of the reader, who must make sense of this final act of writing. Elizabeth Leake focuses on twentieth-century Italian writers Guido Mor-selli, Amelia Rosselli, Cesare Pavese, and Primo Levi, examining personal correspondence, diaries, and obituaries along with popular and academic commemorative writings to elucidate the ramifications of the authors' suicides for their readership. She argues that authorial suicide points to the limitations of those critical stances that exclude the author from the practice of reading. In this innovative and accessible assessment of some of the key issues of authorship, Leake shows that in the aftermath of suicide, an author's life and death themselves become texts to be read.

This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Ottoman Threat and Crusading on the Eastern Border of Christendom during the Fifteenth Century Liviu Pilat and Ovidiu Cristea focus on less-known aspects of the later crusades in Eastern Europe, examining the ideals of holy war and political pragmatism. They analyze the Ottoman threat and crusading as political themes through a unifying vision based in the political realities of the fifteenth century and the complex relationship between crusading, Ottoman expansion, and the political interests of the Christian states in the region. Approaching the relationship between the borders of Christendom and crusading as a highly complex phenomenon, Pilat and Cristea introduce new elements to the image of Latin Christendom's frontier from the perspective of Catholic-Orthodox relations, frontier ideology, and crusading rhetoric in political propaganda.
