Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Può il M5S realisticamente aspirare al 100% dei voti alle prossime elezioni, superando in questo modo il record attuale che si attesta al 99, 84% e resiste dal 1934? Si può sostenere che colui che "al tempo della rete si presenta come leader andrebbe sottoposto a trattamento sanitario obbligatorio” e poi autonominarsi ufficialmente capo di una forza politica? Il Sole 24ore sostiene che il blog frutti almeno cinque milioni annui. Sarà la volta buona per dimostrare che si può guadagnare con la politica senza rubare? Si troverà un accordo tra coloro le cui entrate aumentano nonostante la loro volontà di decrescita felice, e la maggior parte delle persone, le cui entrate invece diminuiscono a dispetto del loro desiderio di un po’ di crescita felice? Con il marchio registrato l’eredità politica diventerà eredità tout court? Tra i tanti vantaggi offerti dalla rete possiamo includervi quello di guidare un partito da casa senza passare da assenteista? A proposito della democrazia diretta, sono gli italiani pronti a diventare stato quando ancora faticano a diventare condominio? Se tu fai parte di un partito padronale dici quello che vuole il padrone, se fai parte del PD dici tutto e il contrario di tutto, ma che succede se fai parte del partito dell’ego? Si può certificare l’onestà? E quanto dura tale certificazione? Va rinnovata periodicamente? E sarà sufficiente l’onestà o ci vorrà pure la competenza? Basterà che il cuoco non rubi per mandare avanti il ristorante, oppure dovrà anche saper cucinare? Il non-statuto si distingue da un comune statuto perché eterno e immutabile? Innumerevoli misteri aleggiano nell’universo 5S. Questo libro indaga e prova a fare un po’ di luce.

Download or read book The cult of the Duce written by Stephen Gundle and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cult of the Duce is the first book to explore systematically the personality cult of the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. It examines the factors which informed the cult and looks in detail at its many manifestations in the visual arts, architecture, political spectacle and the media. The conviction that Mussolini was an exceptional individual first became dogma among Fascists and then was communicated to the people at large. Intellectuals and artists helped fashion the idea of him as a new Caesar while the modern media of press, photography, cinema and radio aggrandised his every public act. The book considers the way in which Italians experienced the personality cult and analyses its controversial resonances in the postwar period. Academics and students with interests in Italian and European history and politics will find the volume indispensable to an understanding of Fascism, Italian society and culture, and modern political leadership. Among the contributions is an Afterword by Mussolini’s leading biographer, R.J.B. Bosworth.
Download or read book About Face written by Elena Bellina and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we represent ouselves and the cultures we live in? Is it possible to trace any boundaries between reality and self-representation? Because the self represented is the product of a process of selection and choice, in many ways to represent the self is, often simultaneously, to create the self and negate the self. What, then, becomes of the self once it is represented? Because the process of self-representation cumulates in a tangible result and given that any representation of the self is necessarily a construct which aims to render visible or knowable in concrete form the unseen and unknown, self-representation is vulnerable to assessments of its naturalness or artificiality, its honesty or deceit. Many issues affect the author or artist’s self-representation, both as process and form: the medium through which the self will be represented, the motivation for representing oneself, and the role of the audience, to name only a few relevant factors. This book explores the multifaceted nature of self-representation in relation to culture from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance up to contemporary Italian, American and Australian culture with reference to concepts and questions connected to literature, poetry, philosophy, theology, history, ethnicity studies, gender studies, and visual arts.
Download or read book Traditional Organized Crime in the Modern World written by Dina Siegel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite strenuous efforts from local, national, and international law enforcement, organized crime continues to thrive and prosper—even centuries-old crime outfits are surviving the global forces of mass migration and multinational business and finance. From traditional gangland enterprises such as narcotics, gambling, and prostitution, the world’s mafias have moved into new sources of illegal income, including high-tech arms smuggling, money laundering, and identity fraud. Traditional Crime in the Modern World tracks these organizations—the Italian and Mexican mafias, Columbian drug cartels, Chinese triads, and others—across five continents as they adapt to change, and assesses their prospects in the short and long term. World events such as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 terror attacks are discussed in the context of contributing to emerging markets for illicit goods and services, and to evolving partnerships among criminal entities. This timely volume: • Provides a comprehensive overview of how mafia-like structures function today. • Analyzes in depth national crime situations with global implications. • Examines the migration of organized crime groups and their operations in their new countries. • Gauges the influence of digital and other technologies on organized crime. • Where applicable, notes the links between organized crime and national political institutions. • Describes the impact of the global financial crisis on crime organizations. Concise, compelling, and deeply documented, Traditional Crime in the Modern World is an eye-opening resource for researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly with an interest in organized crime and trafficking, as well as related topics of Demography, Political Science, and International Relations.
Download or read book Hidden Power written by James Cockayne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should we make of the outsized role organized crime plays in conflict and crisis, from drug wars in Mexico to human smuggling in North Africa, from the struggle in Crimea to scandals in Kabul? How can we deal with the convergence of politics and crime in so-called 'mafia states' such as Guinea-Bissau, North Korea or, as some argue, Russia? Drawing on unpublished government documents and mafia memoirs, James Cockayne discovers the strategic logic of organized crime, hidden in a century of forgotten political--criminal collaboration in New York, Sicily and the Caribbean. He reveals states and mafias competing - and collaborating -- in a competition for governmental power. He discovers mafias influencing elections, changing constitutions, organizing domestic insurgencies and transnational terrorism, negotiating peace deals, and forming governmental joint ventures with ruling groups. And he sees mafias working with the US government to spy on American citizens, catch Nazis, try to assassinate Fidel Castro, invade and govern Sicily, and playing unappreciated roles in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Download or read book Internal exile in Fascist Italy written by Piero Garofalo and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a clear, concise introduction to the Fascist-era practice, know as confino, of exiling antifascist dissidents to parts of Italy far from the dissidents’ homes, often on islands or in tiny inland villages. The book is organised in two sections. Part one provides a case study of the political colony on the island of Lipari and a historical overview of internal exile. Part two focuses on representations of confinement in literature and film. It examines the varieties of self-expression (e.g. memoirs, letters and literature) used by prisoners to describe their experiences, investigates how filmmakers interpret these events, places and people, and explores how film portrays the repression of homosexuality. A timely examination of the birthplace of European federalism, the book also contributes to our understanding of the legacy of confinement from both national and European perspectives.
Download or read book Totalitarianisms The Closed Society and Its Friends A History of Crossed Languages written by Juan Francisco Fuentes and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is striking that the main political concept coined by the century of democracy has been totalitarianism. Since its birth in fascist Italy in the 1920s, the term has made a long journey throughout different countries and periods. After representing the fascination for dictatorships during the interwar years, totalitarianism became a key concept of the ‘war of words’ waged between democracy and communism until the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was ‘a hot word for a Cold War’, as termed by the author of this book to convey the importance of this contest of crossed languages, which also included images, symbols and other forms of ‘senso-propaganda’. The Closed Society and Its Friendshighlights the role played by language in the building of a dystopian civilization conceived as an alternative to the open society created by liberalism. The book analyses the dimension of totalitarianisms, from fascism and Nazism to communism, as political religions with some common features, such as the cult of personality and the conception of society as a community of believers. This fascinating essay on the dark side of the 20th century ends with a disturbing epilogue: ‘Is totalitarianism back?’
Download or read book The Miracle of Castel di Sangro written by Joe McGinniss and published by Crown. This book was released on 2000-06-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master storyteller Joe McGinniss travels to Italy to cover the unlikely success of a ragtag minor league soccer team--and delivers a brilliant and utterly unforgettable story of life in an off-the-beaten-track Italian village. When Joe McGinniss sets out for the remote Italian village of Castel di Sangro one summer, he merely intends to spend a season with the village's soccer team, which only weeks before had, miraculously, reached the second-highest-ranking professional league in the land. But soon he finds himself embroiled with an absurd yet irresistible cast of characters, including the team's owner, described by the New York Times as "straight out of a Mario Puzo novel," and coach Osvaldo Jaconi, whose only English word is the one he uses to describe himself: "bulldozer." As the riotous, edge-of-your-seat season unfolds, McGinniss develops a deepening bond with the team, their village and its people, and their country. Traveling with the miracle team, from the isolated mountain region where Castel di Sangro is located to gritty towns as well as grand cities, McGinniss introduces us to an Italy that no tourist guidebook has ever described, and comes away with a "sad, funny, desolating, and inspiring story--everything, in fact, a story should be" (Los Angeles Times).
Download or read book Le ali degli angeli written by Gigliola Ferrucci and published by Sogno Edizioni. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente testo affronta il tema dell’Angelologia studiando la Cabalà, le lettere ebraiche che compongono il nome di ognuno dei 72 Angeli e proponendo una spiegazione del carattere, dei talenti e dei difetti appartenenti a tutte le persone nate sotto l’influenza di ogni Angelo specifico. Inoltre ci sono capitoli introduttivi e di spiegazione sui Fiori di Bach, Fiori Australiani, Pietre, Aromaterapia e colori in quanto rimedi consigliati per creare un collegamento diretto con la propria energia Angelica specifica. Questi rimedi hanno la capacità, se usati in sinergia tra loro e con l’intenzione profonda della persona, di eliminare tutte quelle ostruzioni energetiche, psicologiche ed emotive che impediscono di contattare il flusso di energia del proprio Angelo, precludendo così le possibilità di sviluppo più profonde della persona.
Download or read book Il fattore Renzi written by Emanuele Bormida and published by Enzo Delfino Editore. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I leader nascono da un fattore biologico della storia, corrispondono a un bisogno, a un vuoto da riempire [A. Sardoni] È difficile e forse vano valutare a priori le promesse di un leader, ma di Matteo Renzi sono innegabili il carisma e l'estrema familiarità con i media, spesso asserviti al suo messaggio politico fino a fondersi con esso. Questo testo vuole indagare i diversi aspetti della costruzione del consenso e della strategia elettorale del sindaco di Firenze, nel contesto più ampio della comunicazione politica in Italia dalla Prima Repubblica ad oggi alla luce dello straordinario successo del mezzo televisivo, con la sua logica di semplificazione, del crollo dei partiti, della perdita di consenso e della crescente personalizzazione della politica, che ha avuto in Berlusconi uno dei suoi maggiori protagonisti.

Book excerpt: Bruno Mancini, nato a Napoli nel 1943, risiede ad Ischia dall'eta di tre anni.A lui piace dire che l'origine della sua ispirazione o forse solo un iniziale impulso ancestrale ed istintivo, il vero basilare momento poetico della sua vita, si e concretizzato nell'incontro, propriamente fisico, tra i suoi sensi acerbi, infantili, e le secolari, immutate, tentazioni autoctone dell'Isola d'Ischia, dove le leggi della natura sembravano fluire ancora difese da valori di primitive protezioni.Alcuni brevi commenti ricavati dalle recensioni ai suoi libri: "Opera interessante per i contenuti e le tematiche affrontate, nonche per i valori estetici"" seria preparazione, corredata da rimarchevole fantasia. Lavoro meditato, armonioso di buon afflato poetico.""Una prosa lacerata e sfuggente""Lavoro intenso, vissuto nella profondita della sua composizione, fatta di toni e di immagini""Una voce nuova che chiama ad ascoltarla ed a giudicarla senza inibizioni, come liberamente essa e sviluppata"
