First British publication of the sequel to Infernal Devices, to mark the 30th anniversary of Steampunk. The world George Dower left when he went into hiding was significantly simpler than the new, steam-powered Victorian London. Dower is enticed into a web of intrigue with ominously mysterious players who have nefarious plans of which he can only guess. If he can locate and make his father's Vox Universalis work as it was intended, his future is assured. But his efforts are confounded by the strange Vicar Stonebrake. Drugged, arrested, and interrogated Dower is trapped in a maelstrom of secrets, corruption, and schemes that threaten to drown him in the chaos of this mad new world.

This book explores the topic of proximity and its relations in the design of contemporary urban fabrics and public spaces. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and reflections on the future of cities have lately shed light on the concept of proximity, which is intended as the relationship between communities and urban functions and as relations among people, built spaces, and open spaces. The proximity is a historic and fertile field of interest for American and Northern European urban studies; it is a spatial and social program seemingly surpassed by the styles and rhythms of contemporary city life, but today it is back in vogue with different purposes. Meanwhile, the action research developed by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies at the Politecnico di Milano for the Municipality of Milan reached its conclusion (2018–2020). The research work focused on contextualizing the new M4 Metro line stations under construction, and jointed mobility flows and places, long-range networks and local ones, boosting the idea of metro stations as regenerative urban thresholds and urban platforms for enabling environmental, sustainable settlement, and active mobility systems. In other words, the action research for Milan shows how to achieve the concept of proximity in the urban design practice in a dense, stratified, and complex urban context.
The “intangible power” of literature, which, in Umberto Eco’s words, “allows us to travel through a textual labyrinth (be it an entire encyclopaedia or the complete works of William Shakespeare) without necessarily ‘unravelling’ all the information it contains”, may be clearly identifiable in our contemporary age of intertextuality and, most importantly, of interdisciplinarity. It suffices to think of the countless film adaptations of Shakespeare’s works, or of the popular appeal of Dan Brown’s global bestsellers, the so-called Robert Langdon book series, which has made original (and contentious) use of literary and artistic masterpieces such as Dante’s Divine Comedy and Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. What is more, the investigation of literature’s verbality through the lenses of cinematic and media perspectives has greatly benefitted from scholarly insights into dialogism, heteroglossia, polyphony, and historiophoty, opening new aural and visual windows of interpretation and knowledge. With these considerations in mind, this book explores the enduring presence of some of the most revolutionary early modern voices and works in our contemporary time. It embraces a rich diversity of literary genres (from poetry to storytelling, novels, fairy tales, and historical colonial chronicles, while also considering musical theatre compositions), and broadens the scope of research to the world of media, with cutting edge insights into contemporary films, TV series, and videogames. It presents innovative scholarly perspectives on how early modern works and themes are explored, remediated and refashioned today to address cultural, political, and social issues germane to our global moment.
Socmel! parla di un uomo, un truffatore, Pietro, perso nelle campagne romagnole, che si troverà ad affrontare, in modo assolutamente tragicomico, la fine del mondo. Con il fido compagno asinello e il vecchio imprecatore, Pietro arriverà infine a Dio, a cui vorrà dire giusto due parole. O forse una. Prima parte di tre (Nel nome del Padre.., ..del Figlio.., ..e dello Spirito Santo).
According to conventional wisdom, Italy was not an influential participant in the nationalistic and imperialistic discourses that world's fairs produced in countries such as Great Britain, France, and the United States. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, Italy hosted numerous national and international exhibitions expounding notions of national identity, imperial expansion, technological progress, and capitalist growth. World's Fairs Italian-Style explores world's fairs in Italy at the turn of the twentieth century in comparison to their more famous counterparts in France, England, and the United States. Cristina Della Coletta demonstrates that, because of its social fragmentation and hybrid history, Italy was a site of both hegemony and subordination – an aspiring imperial power whose colonization started from within. She focuses on two best-selling authors, Emilio Salgari and Guido Gozzano, and illustrates how these authors interpreted their age's 'exposition mentality.' Salgari and Gozzano's exposition narratives, Della Coletta argues, reveal Italy's uncertainties about own sense of national identity, and its belated commitment to Western imperialism. Of interest to students and scholars of literature, cultural history, and Italian, World's Fairs Italian-Style provides a fascinating glimpse into a hitherto unexplored area of study, and brings to light a cultural phenomenon that played a significant role in shaping Italy's national identity.
The Italian bourgeoisie appear to be living through a period of self-evaluation. This collection examines what is "essentially Italian" in the development of the bourgeoisie, starting with the role of the individual in post-unification Italy. Members of the bourgeoisie were Italy's ruling class while the country underwent drastic political, economic, and social transformations during major historical eras and events, such as the two World Wars, the Fascist ventennio, the colonial enterprises of the Mussolini regime, the Racial Laws and the Holocaust, and domestic terrorism. The role of the bourgeoisie as indicator, inspiration, and conscience in current pop and high culture is also examined.
"Nel 1835 veniva pubblicato ad Agen un libro intitolato ”Napoleone non è mai esistito”. L’autore, Jean-Baptiste Pérès, un erudito bibliotecario, dimostrava come l’imperatore dei francesi non fosse mai comparso sulla faccia della terra. La sua storia, spedizione in Russia e Waterloo compresi, risultava essere nient’altro che la trasposizione di un mito solare. Circa un secolo prima, il filosofo irlandese Berkeley era riuscito a fare di più. Riducendo la realtà a immagine del nostro spirito, aveva dimostrato la non esistenza del mondo intero. E tanto convincente dovette essere da ricavarne una nomina a vescovo e una cattedra all’università di Oxford. Va ricordato pure che l’immaterialità del pianeta non gli impedì di fondare una colonia nel nuovo continente sovvenzionata col lavoro degli schiavi delle piantagioni. Secondo questo autore, sono le conclusioni di Voltaire, diecimila uomini uccisi a colpi di cannone non sono nient’altro che diecimila impressioni del nostro spirito. Sono questi due degli esempi più notevoli di paradossi che insieme agli arcinoti esempi di Zenone non hanno giovato alla reputazione del genere, trasformandolo col tempo in sinonimo di sofisma o stramberia. Al tempo dei primi sofisti, tuttavia, il paradosso ha un connotato positivo, è abilità dialettica, capacità di convincere. La sua cattiva fama prende piede quando si inoltra in campi come l’etica e la religione che per loro natura mal sopportano di essere sottoposte a indagine razionale. I libri di Protagora vengono bruciati nella pubblica piazza di Atene non perché l’autore si sia reso colpevole di ragionamenti paradossali, quanto piuttosto perché tali ragionamenti ha provato a estendere alla religione, affermando di non poter sostenere né che gli dei sono, né che non sono. Nel momento in cui la ragione prende a occuparsi della divinità diventa fatalmente blasfema, così come nel momento in cui si occupa dell’autorità finisce col risultare irriverente." Indice: I benefici del progresso; L’elogio della monarchia assoluta; Contro lo stato sociale; In difesa del proibizionismo; A favore dell’eugenetica; Rilettura del nazismo; Il valore dell’ipocrisia “Ho letto questo libretto (ma è tale solo per le dimensioni) con un piacere che è andato sempre aumentando man mano che andavo avanti nella lettura. Educativo, realista, cinico e divertente.” (recensione su internet)
