Book excerpt: Au sud de l'Italie, la Sicile - une île aux paysages arides, aux côtes magnifiques et aux trésors artistiques uniques - attire conquérants et voyageurs depuis des siècles. Au coeur de cette rare beauté, Cosa Nostra, la mafia sicilienne, sa violence et sa corruption, qui imprègnent chaque recoin de la vie insulaire. Au départ du fracassant procès à la fin des années 1990 de l'ancien Premier ministre Giulio Andreotti, accusé de multiples collusions avec la mafia, Minuit en Sicile emporte le lecteur dans une enquête haletante baignée de toute l'exubérance et l'envoûtement de cette île merveilleuse. Un plongeon au coeur le plus sombre de la Sicile, qui emprunte les voies de l'art, du voyage, de l'histoire et de la gastronomie pour l'un des meilleurs livres écrits sur l'Italie contemporaine, aussi révélateur de la société sicilienne que la lecture du Guépard à l'époque. Sensuel, fascinant et glaçant.

Download or read book A Companion to Greeks Across the Ancient World written by Franco De Angelis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative, up-to-date treatment of ancient Greek mobility and migration from 1000 BCE to 30 BCE A Companion to Greeks Across the Ancient World explores the mobility and migration of Greeks who left their homelands in the ten centuries between the Early Iron Age and the Hellenistic period. While most academic literature centers on the Greeks of the Aegean basin area, this unique volume provides a systematic examination of the history of the other half of the ancient Greek world. Contributions from leading scholars and historians discuss where migrants settled, their new communities, and their connections and interactions with both Aegean Greeks and non-Greeks. Divided into three parts, the book first covers ancient and modern approaches and the study of the ancient Greeks outside their homelands, including various intellectual, national, and linguistic traditions. Regional case studies form the core of the text, taking a microhistory approach to examine Greeks in the Near Eastern Empires, Greek-Celtic interactions in Central Europe, Greek-established states in Central Asia, and many others throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. The closing section of the text discusses wider themes such as the relations between the Greek homeland and the edges of Greek civilization. Reflecting contemporary research and fresh perspectives on ancient Greek culture contact, this volume: Discusses the development and intersection of mobility, migration, and diaspora studies Examines the various forms of ancient Greek mobility and their outcomes Highlights contributions to cultural development in the Greek and non-Greek world Examines wider themes and the various forms of ancient Greek mobility and their outcomes Includes an overview of ancient terminology and concepts, modern translations, numerous maps, and full references A Companion to Greeks Across the Ancient World is a valuable resource for students, instructors, and researchers of Classical antiquity, as well as non-specialists with interest in ancient Greek mobilities, migrations, and diasporas.

Download or read book Mafiacraft written by Deborah Puccio-Den and published by Hau. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mafia? What is the Mafia? Something you eat? Something you drink? I don't know the Mafia. I have never seen it." So said Mommo Piromalli, a 'Ndrangheta crime boss, to a journalist in the seventies. In Mafiacraft, Deborah Puccio-Den explores the Mafia's reliance on the force of silence, and undertakes a new form of ethnographic inquiry that focuses on the questions, rather than the answers. For Puccio-Den, the Mafia is not a stable social fact, but a cognitive event shaped by actions of silence. Rather than inquiring about what has previously been written or said, she explores the imaginative power of silence and how it gives consistency to special kinds of social ties that draw their strength from a state of indetermination. What methods might anthropologists use to investigate silence and to understand the life of the denied, the unspeakable, and the unspoken? How do they resist, fight, or capitulate to the strength of words, or to the force of law? In Mafiacraft, Puccio-Den's addresses these questions with a fascinating anthropology of silence that opens up new ground for the study of the world's most famous criminal organization.
