    Un bric-à-brac de la Belle Époque (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: En 1983 Pere Gimferrer publicó su primera novela, Fortuny. Según Octavio Paz, con este unicum literario, el poeta barcelonés reinventa el género novelesco 
con pinturas verbales que capturan fragmentos de un mundo artístico perdido. En este estudio se reconstruye por primera vez la génesis y la recepción de esta novela singular, teniendo en cuenta el (doble) impacto (y algunas polémicas) que causó en las letras hispánicas (catalana y castellana). Proponiendo un análisis narratológico, se desvelan las referencias literarias y cinematográficas del imaginario complejo de toda la producción gimferriana.

    L’architettura del Deccan tra il XIV e il XVI secolo (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Il volume, muovendo dall’analisi dello stile architettonico promosso in Deccan dalla dinastia dei Bahmani (1347-1527), intende offrire uno spaccato della complessità sociale, religiosa e culturale della regione. L’identificazione di modelli e vocabolari eletti consente di ridefinire ‘scontri’, ‘incontri’ e sincretismi tra le diverse identità presenti, consolidatesi e rimodellatesi nel tempo proprio attraverso un reciproco guardarsi. Lo scenario tratteggiato e la condivisione di spazi e riti rivelano l’inapplicabilità delle categorie che generalmente dominano gli studi sul subcontinente indiano anche in ambito storico-artistico, ridisegnando la geografia sacra della regione e i rapporti tra le comunità coinvolte.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: L’Italia, l’altrove è una riflessione su come il cinema e la letteratura sulla migrazione ci invitano a ripensare gli spazi e i luoghi non come elementi stabili e immutabili, ma in termini di mobilità. Analizzando alcuni luoghi (la stazione Termini e i ponti nella letteratura sugli italiani americani), la costruzione di spazi nazionali in termini trans-nazionali (l’Italia e gli Stati Uniti d’America), e due modalità di attraversare lo spazio (camminare e guidare), questo intervento si propone di ripensare la cultura, l’identità nazionale, ma soprattutto quello spazio che consideriamo come «nostro» in maniera più inclusiva.

    Lo strategizing in contesti complessi (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Strategy-making takes place in webs of socio-material practices, where agency is mediated by artifacts and actors continuously reframe the way on which they give sense to their actions and objectives. Despite agency still depends on human actors, material artifacts can play a critical role in these ensembles of practices making strategizing always open to transformation. The practices associated with the strategy formation encompass conflicting people mental models, distributed knowledge and materiality for the development of a systematic, coherent and coordinated strategic process. The activities that qualify strategy-making are multifaceted and include a more or less deliberative and routinized individual decision-making and the conscious or unconscious exploration of emerging patterns. According to a cognitive approach to strategy-making, what strategists decide is largely influenced by their different perceptual filters, which are unique, as they were formed through the specific ways of engaging with the world, and by the construction of shared meanings. This consideration puts scholars to elaborate about the use of visual artifacts to frame strategic thinking and conceptualize a shared strategic orientation. The unfolding character of strategizing process stimulates to better understand the knowledge production process that explains the epistemic nature of the process itself. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the use of visual representations supports the knowledge production during the innovation processes as it facilitate the abstraction and the concretization of innovation practices. The potential benefits of using visual representations for fostering strategizing process have not yet been analysed extensively. Few case studies reflecting on the crucial role of visual representation in the strategy process and decisions in complex setting. This study aims to fill these gaps and explores how strategy maps shape the strategic practices within Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. The Italian University setting is a complex research field as it is a multivoiced domain and a rapidly changing one. A recent reform is stimulating a radical change in the management policies making the strategy processes a pluralistic and uncertain work.

    Italy-Japan: Dialogues on Food (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: In the last twenty years, Food Studies have fortunately become increasingly widespread and reflected in important academic and business institutions, as well as closely connected to popular media. They offer multidisciplinary perspectives of the relationship between food and the different components of the societies to which they are linked, in particular; science, culture, communication, economics, finance, and environmental sustainability. The approach to the subject, precisely because of its broad spectrum, allows a wide range of scholars and experts from different sectors to study the relationship with their respective disciplines in progressively dynamic and transversal ways. The Food+ Symposium, organised by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in collaboration with the Consulate General of Japan in Milan, hosted some of the most prestigious names in different fields, with particular reference to the specificities of two of the countries where food has traditionally had greater symbolic value: Italy and Japan. These two culinary realities are now exported all over the world and have been for a long time representative of lifestyles, social and economic dynamics, in many cases similar all along their respective histories. This volume, therefore, presents the result of the contributions offered by the main exponents of the Italian-Japanese economic-cultural scene, intended as a starting point for further investigations.The participation of authorities and guests, managers, experts, journalists and scholars from Japan and Italy to the Symposium, gave a chance to achieve a great overview into Food Studies. Our guests have presented a great number of implications of the cultural representations of Food Culture analysed in a multi-perspective approach, underlying the value of Food and cuisine in Japan and Italy nowadays as in the past, through a considerable transition between tradition and modernity.

    The Sense of Justice (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: In The Sense of Justice, distinguished legal author Markus Dirk Dubber undertakes a critical analysis of the “sense of justice”: an overused, yet curiously understudied, concept in modern legal and political discourse. Courts cite it, scholars measure it, presidential candidates prize it, eulogists praise it, criminals lack it, and commentators bemoan its loss in times of war. But what is it? Often, the sense of justice is dismissed as little more than an emotional impulse that is out of place in a criminal justice system based on abstract legal and political norms equally applied to all. Dubber argues against simple categorization of the sense of justice. Drawing on recent work in moral philosophy, political theory, and linguistics, Dubber defines the sense of justice in terms of empathy—the emotional capacity that makes law possible by giving us vicarious access to the experiences of others. From there, he explores the way it is invoked, considered, and used in the American criminal justice system. He argues that this sense is more than an irrational emotional impulse but a valuable legal tool that should be properly used and understood.

    After Race (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: After Race pushes us beyond the old "race vs. class" debates to delve deeper into the structural conditions that spawn racism. Darder and Torres place the study of racism forthrightly within the context of contemporary capitalism. While agreeing with those who have argued that the concept of "race" does not have biological validity, they go further to insist that the concept also holds little political, symbolic, or descriptive value when employed in social science and policy research. Darder and Torres argue for the need to jettison the concept of "race," while calling adamantly for the critical study of racism. They maintain that an understanding of structural class inequality is fundamentally germane to comprehending the growing significance of racism in capitalist America.

    Description: Il volume raccoglie una serie di contributi presentati nel convegno omonimo svoltosi presso il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari nell’ottobre 2014; in essi si affronta il tema della rappresentazione dell’alterità negli scritti di autori e autrici del XIX e XX secolo. Il carattere poliedrico e sfaccettato della letteratura di viaggio assume in questa raccolta particolare pregnanza: i saggi, dal carattere marcatamente interdisciplinare, si incentrano infatti sia su testi attribuibili alla letteratura odeporica nell’accezione più tradizionale del termine, sia su opere che ricorrono alla nozione di viaggio in senso metaforico. Attraversa l’intera raccolta il tentativo di discutere e problematizzare il rapporto, talvolta controverso, con ciò che viene considerato l’altro da sé, a partire da una eterogeneità di voci e punti di vista.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Images of diamonds appear everywhere in American culture. And everyone who has a diamond has a story to tell about it. Our stories about diamonds not only reveal what we do with these tiny stones, but also suggest how we create value, meaning, and identity through our interactions with material culture in general. Things become meaningful through our interactions with them, but how do people go about making meaning? What can we learn from an ethnography about the production of identity, creation of kinship, and use of diamonds in understanding selves and social relationships? By what means do people positioned within a globalized political-economy and a compelling universe of advertising interact locally with these tiny polished rocks? This book draws on 12 months of fieldwork with diamond consumers in New York City as well as an analysis of the iconic De Beers campaign that promised romance, status, and glamour to anyone who bought a diamond to show that this thematic pool is just one resource among many that diamond owners draw upon to engage with their own stones. The volume highlights the important roles that memory, context, and circumstance also play in shaping how people interpret and then use objects in making personal worlds. It shows that besides operating as subjects in an ad-burdened universe, consumers are highly creative, idiosyncratic, and theatrical agents.

    Description: This volume, which collects the proceedings of the international study day Intersections. New Perspectives for Public Humanities, aims at shedding light on the often complicated and chaotic ‘texture’ of public humanities in order to foster a less marginal place for this field of study. The choice to focus the analysis on a selection of case studies that includes history, cultural heritage, archaeology, and literature leads to redesigning a profile whose main feature is to create bridges between specialised knowledge domains and large audiences and identifying methods and models that can make humanistic knowledge ‘actionable’ in our society.

    Lover (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: A landmark work of lesbian literature with a reflective introduction written by the author twenty years later Lover was first published in 1972 to tremendous critical acclaim. Emerging out of the women's and gay liberation movement alongside the early work of writers such as Rita Mae Brown and Jill Johnston, the novel features fictional and historical characters who run the gamut from saint to white trash, and who are by turn vulnerable and strong. One of the finest examples of early post-Stonewall lesbian fiction, Lover paints a fascinating mural of one of the most significant times in LGBTQ history. In the introduction to this updated edition edition, Bertha Harris offers a window into the cultural and personal milieu in which she wrote. Revealing the real-life personalities behind some of the novel's characters, Harris reframes the story within its unique moment in time, and gives readers new insights into the heady post-Stonewall days. This audacious and outrageous novel is a gem of early lesbian writing, ready to be rediscovered by a new generation.

    American Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Since the fall of communism, laissez-faire capitalism has experienced renewed popularity. Flush with victory, the United States has embraced a particularly narrow and single-minded definition of capitalism and aggressively exported it worldwide. The defining trait of this brand of capitalism is an unwavering reverence for the icons of the market. Although promoted as a laissez-faire form of capitalism, it actually reflects the very evils of selfishness and greed by entrepreneurs that concerned Adam Smith. Capitalism, however, can thrive without an extreme emphasis on efficiency and personal autonomy. Americans often forget that theirs is a rather peculiar form of capitalism, that other Western nations successfully maintain capitalistic systems that are fundamentally more balanced and nuanced in their effect on society. The unnecessarily inhumane aspects of American capitalism become apparent when compared to Canadian and Western European societies, with their more generous policies regarding affirmative action, accommodation for disabled persons, and family and medical leave for pregnant woman and their partners. In American Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism, Ruth Colker examines how American law purports to reflect--and actively promotes--a laissez-faire capitalism that disproportionately benefits the entrepreneurial class. Colker proposes that the quality of American life depends also on fairness and equality rather than simply the single-minded and formulaic pursuit of efficiency and utility.

    Blended Learning and the Global South (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This volume collects a series of theoretical and practical interventions in the area of blended learning globally. It aims to present pedagogues working in higher education contexts in the developing world with models of successful blended learning initiatives designed and implemented by committed educators working with student bodies characterised by unequal access to technology and connectivity. The twelve individual chapters of this volume are an invaluable practical resource for educators but when taken as a whole the collection provides a counter to commonplace beliefs about blended learning originating within the institutions of wealthy countries. It offers theoretical, material and socially grounded currents for thinking about the place of blended learning in the Global South and is a work of resistance to pedagogical epistemologies with ‘first world’ and neoliberal biases.

    Description: This volume examines the entanglements between contemporary art practices, ecology, and non-human subjects through contributions from scholars, art writers, critics, artist-researchers and designers. The collected essays reveal contemporary art’s potential to reorient epistemological and ontological coordinates amid ecological and existential crises, questioning human exceptionalism and the exploitative logics of extractivism and planetary industrialization. Central to the volume are issues of environmental degradation and violence, racial capitalism, colonial legacies, the emergence of the Anthropocene, in relation to the diverse terrain of contemporary art practices. Emphasizing the agency of more-than-human collaborators, from animals to microbial ecologies, and from oceans to nuclear waste, these practices expose injustices, reclaim damaged ecosystems, and propose alternative ways of being in and with the planet. Artist-researchers contribute perspectives that open up new avenues for knowledge creation in the disrupted landscapes of the Anthropocene, pointing to symbiotic relationships between humans and non-human entities that are only beginning to be explored. By sharing theoretical frameworks and languages, the artists’ and writers’ contributions make clear that the environmental crises impacting the ecosystems require new collaborations to build common epistemological grounds, and shared visions of planetary futures.

    Romance e Shoah (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Da molti anni le narrazioni sulla Shoah si diffondono sempre più. Esistono motivazioni etiche per questa crescente attenzione. Ma forse non sono le sole. Questo libro indaga le strutture narrative sottese a queste storie per verificare se rispondano alle esigenze dei lettori. Ne emerge un quadro preoccupante nel quale l’inaspettata liaison tra romance e Shoah rischia di trasformare la narrazione storica di un evento tragico – e tragico fino all’ineffabile – in un genere letterario prossimo all’intrattenimento. Il volume affronta questioni teoriche – la ricezione, il romance, il postmoderno – e casi specifici tratti dalla grande letteratura su questi temi – Primo Levi, Littell, Vollman, Cercas - per interrogarsi su cosa siano le narrazioni sulla Shoah oggi e cosa rischino di diventare, dopo l’ultimo testimone.

    Medioevi moderni - Modernità del Medioevo (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: L’approccio al Medioevo, lungo più di un millennio e tutt’altro che unitario e coerente, continua a oscillare tra le due contrapposte immagini che Illuminismo e Romanticismo ci hanno consegnato. Da un lato, il Medioevo del fanatismo religioso, delle superstizioni, dello scontro fra chiesa e stato; un Medioevo oscuro, barbaro, oppressivo. Dall’altro il Medioevo della sincera devozione religiosa, delle grandi espressioni artistiche, dell’affermazione della libertà dei popoli contro la tirannia dell’Impero romano; un Medioevo luminoso, raffinato, fantasioso. Per incontrare in modo meno stereotipato il Medioevo occorre aprirsi ai linguaggi del passato, che a un esame attento rivelano dimensioni inaspettate. Se proviamo ad ascoltare le voci che ci giungono da quel tempo lontano, riusciamo forse a comprendere meglio anche il senso di quello che le attuali operazioni di riuso del Medioevo – dei vari Medioevi – cercano di dirci, non solo riguardo a quel periodo storico in sé, ma anche su noi stessi, oggi.

    Policing Methamphetamine (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In its steady march across the United States, methamphetamine has become, to quote former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, “the most dangerous drug in America.” As a result, there has been a concerted effort at the local level to root out the methamphetamine problem by identifying the people at its source—those known or suspected to be involved with methamphetamine. Government-sponsored anti-methamphetamine legislation has enhanced these local efforts, formally and informally encouraging rural residents to identify meth offenders in their communities. Policing Methamphetamine shows what happens in everyday life—and to everyday life—when methamphetamine becomes an object of collective concern. Drawing on interviews with users, police officers, judges, and parents and friends of addicts in one West Virginia town, William Garriott finds that this overriding effort to confront the problem changed the character of the community as well as the role of law in creating and maintaining social order. Ultimately, this work addresses the impact of methamphetamine and, more generally, the war on drugs, on everyday life in the United States.

    Description: Come definire la letteratura della migrazione? Attraverso una serie di casi di studio che vanno dalla Turchia alla Cina, passando per l’Armenia e l’Iran, Orienti migranti: tra letteratura e traduzione analizza ‘zone di contatto’ a metà tra più lingue e paesi, allo scopo di delineare un modello di letteratura al contempo locale e globale e che considera il migrante un tropo ricorrente della contemporaneità. Il volume è così l’occasione per intraprendere un viaggio dell’immaginazione verso est, verso un altrove linguistico e letterario che – in fin dei conti – non è poi così lontano.

    The Lebanese Diaspora (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: The Lebanese are the largest group of Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States, and Lebanese immigrants are also prominent across Europe and the Americas. Based on over eighty interviews with first-generation Lebanese immigrants in the global cities of New York, Montreal and Paris, this book shows that the Lebanese diaspora – like all diasporas – constructs global relations connecting and transforming their new societies, previous homeland and world-wide communities. Taking Lebanese immigrants’ forms of identification, community attachments and cultural expression as manifestations of diaspora experiences, Dalia Abdelhady delves into the ways members of Lebanese diasporic communities move beyond nationality, ethnicity and religion, giving rise to global solidarities and negotiating their social and cultural spaces. The Lebanese Diaspora explores new forms of identities, alliances and cultural expressions, elucidating the daily experiences of Lebanese immigrants and exploring new ways of thinking about immigration, ethnic identity, community, and culture in a global world. By criticizing and challenging our understandings of nationality, ethnicity and assimilation, Abdelhady shows that global immigrants are giving rise to new forms of cosmopolitan citizenship.

    Who's Your Paddy? (2024)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: After all the green beer has been poured and the ubiquitous shamrocks fade away, what does it mean to be Irish American besides St. Patrick’s Day? Who’s Your Paddy traces the evolution of “Irish” as a race-based identity in the U.S. from the 19th century to the present day. Exploring how the Irish have been and continue to be socialized around race, Jennifer Nugent Duffy argues that Irish identity must be understood within the context of generational tensions between different waves of Irish immigrants as well as the Irish community’s interaction with other racial minorities. Using historic and ethnographic research, Duffy sifts through the many racial, class, and gendered dimensions of Irish-American identity by examining three distinct Irish cohorts in Greater New York: assimilated descendants of nineteenth-century immigrants; “white flighters” who immigrated to postwar America and fled places like the Bronx for white suburbs like Yonkers in the 1960s and 1970s; and the newer, largely undocumented migrants who began to arrive in the 1990s. What results is a portrait of Irishness as a dynamic, complex force in the history of American racial consciousness, pertinent not only to contemporary immigration debates but also to the larger questions of what it means to belong, what it means to be American.

    Description: "When BooBoo stabs Morris Boyle I am reading a news magazine that someone has smuggled into the wing." Thus, the protagonist of this novella introduces us to prison, one of the several worlds he inhabits, worlds most of us would rather ignore but which inexorably, through what we see and hear and read and live on uncountable American streets, has become the one world we can no longer avoid. It seduces us with the voice of drugs and violence. Of the disenfranchised. Of those both at once outside and standing within the center of what no longer holds. It informs us of who we are today.

Proseguendo sulle direttrici di ricerca i cui esiti sono ora disponibili in METra 1 (Lexis Supplementi 11, 2022), questa seconda raccolta indaga ulteriori aspetti dell’eredità omerica ed epica in tragedia. Come nel volume precedente, i saggi propongono approcci disciplinari diversificati: dallo studio metrico, linguistico e stilistico all’intertestualità, dalla ricerca dell’allusione alla riflessione sull’eventuale persistenza, tra Grecia arcaica e classica, di sistemi culturali ed etico-religiosi, senza trascurare il dialogo con la modernità.

    Description: ‘Volontà’ discende, etimologicamente, da voluntas. Ma nell’accezione di voluntas non è più avvertita la plurivocità terminologica presente nella lingua greca. Di conseguenza la teoria dell’azione ampiamente affrontata nel contesto del pensiero classico (si pensi, tra gli altri, alle Etiche aristoteliche) ne ha risentito, finendo per risolversi, in ambito romano, in un quadro concettuale semplificato. I saggi qui raccolti hanno consentito di mettere a fuoco un vero e proprio nuovo paradigma articolato. Al suo interno si colloca una rinnovata concezione di ‘volontà’: quella che si dispiega nella moderna interpretazione dell’‘atto volontario’ e del ‘volontarismo’ tout-court.

    The Radical Lives of Helen Keller (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: A political biography that reveals new sides to Helen Keller Several decades after her death in 1968, Helen Keller remains one of the most widely recognized women of the twentieth century. But the fascinating story of her vivid political life—particularly her interest in radicalism and anti-capitalist activism—has been largely overwhelmed by the sentimentalized story of her as a young deaf-blind girl. Keller had many lives indeed. Best known for her advocacy on behalf of the blind, she was also a member of the socialist party, an advocate of women's suffrage, a defender of the radical International Workers of the World, and a supporter of birth control—and she served as one of the nation's most effective but unofficial international ambassadors. In spite of all her political work, though, Keller rarely explored the political dimensions of disability, adopting beliefs that were often seen as conservative, patronizing, and occasionally repugnant. Under the wing of Alexander Graham Bell, a controversial figure in the deaf community who promoted lip-reading over sign language, Keller became a proponent of oralism, thereby alienating herself from others in the deaf community who believed that a rich deaf culture was possible through sign language. But only by distancing herself from the deaf community was she able to maintain a public image as a one-of-a-kind miracle. Using analytic tools and new sources, Kim E. Nielsen's political biography of Helen Keller has many lives, teasing out the motivations for and implications of her political and personal revolutions to reveal a more complex and intriguing woman than the Helen Keller we thought we knew.

    Culture Clash (2024)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: It is an article of faith in America that scientific advances will lead to wondrous progress in our daily lives. Americans proudly support scientific research that yields stunning breakthroughs and Nobel prizes. We relish the ensuing debate about the implications—moral, ethical, practical—of these advances. Will genetic engineering change our basic nature? Will artificial intelligence challenge our sense of human uniqueness? And yet the actual implementation of these technologies is often sluggish and much-delayed. From Star Trek to Jurassic Park, the American imagination has always been fascinated by the power of scientific technology. But what does the reality of scientific progress mean for our society? In this controversial book, Steven Goldberg provides a compelling look at the intersection of two of America's most powerful communities—law and science—to explain this apparent contradiction. Rarely considered in tandem, law and science highlight a fundamental paradox in the American character, the struggle between progress and process. Science, with its ethic of endless progress, has long fit beautifully with America's self image. Law, in accordance with the American ideal of giving everyone a fair say, stresses process above all else, seeking an acceptable, rather than a scientifically correct, result. This characteristic has been especially influential in light of the explosive growth of the legal community in recent years. Exposing how the legal system both supports and restricts American science and technology, Goldberg considers the role and future of three projects—artificial intelligence, nuclear fusion, and the human genome initiative—to argue for a scientific vision that infuses research with social goals beyond the pure search for truth. Certain to provoke debate within a wide range of academic and professional communities, Culture Clash reveals one of the most important and defining conflicts in contemporary American life.

    Acquisizione della Lingua Italiana e adozione internazionale (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: There is part of the children’s population who experiences, in the language- acquisition field, an unparalleled and unique phenomenon: they are youngsters who arrive in Italy through international adoption. When they arrive, they are effectively legal citizens. However, at first Italian appears to be a foreign language which, gradually, is going to become a second language and, eventually, is going to turn into a second mother tongue. This process is extremely fast but it is also painful even because, along the way, the biological mother tongue is notched and replaced by the new adopted language. Often, these youngsters display to have linguistic and communicative disorders caused, on the one hand, by the pre-adoptive conditions and, on the other hand, by the urgency to organize the new language. It is a peculiar and evocative process which entails the intersection of bonds, languages and cultural worlds which are normally distant and divergent. The choice of adoption – with its permanent traits – challenges the family, the siblings and the newcomer. Several studies have already deepened the psychological consequences which an adoption may imply, but little is known about the linguistic-communicative aspects. This publication aims to approach the linguistic and acquisitional data of the adoptive experience, in relation to the primary mother tongue and the new-secondary mother tongue. A field research, conducted in the province of Mantua, allowed us to hand out a questionnaire, to the adoptive parents, regarding the linguistic process which has affected their children once they have come in contact with our language. A reasoned vocabulary of the linguistic terms related to adoption supplies additional and operational information to teachers, educators and parents

    Neither Fugitive nor Free (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series Neither Fugitive nor Free draws on the freedom suit as recorded in the press and court documents to offer a critically and historically engaged understanding of the freedom celebrated in the literary and cultural histories of transatlantic abolitionism. Freedom suits involved those enslaved valets, nurses, and maids who accompanied slaveholders onto free soil. Once brought into a free jurisdiction, these attendants became informally free, even if they were taken back to a slave jurisdiction—at least according to abolitionists and the enslaved themselves. In order to secure their freedom formally, slave attendants or others on their behalf had to bring suit in a court of law. Edlie Wong critically recuperates these cases in an effort to reexamine and redefine the legal construction of freedom, will, and consent. This study places such historically central anti-slavery figures as Frederick Douglass, Olaudah Equiano, and William Lloyd Garrison alongside such lesser-known slave plaintiffs as Lucy Ann Delaney, Grace, Catharine Linda, Med, and Harriet Robinson Scott. Situated at the confluence of literary criticism, feminism, and legal history, Neither Fugitive nor Free presents the freedom suit as a "new" genre to African American and American literary studies.

    Atlas of Renaissance Antiquarianism (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Renaissance antiquarianism can be defined as a cultural phenomenon that aims to interpret the past by cross-referencing heterogeneous sources accumulated and collected over time. This entailed the use of new investigative techniques which involved combining literary sources and material findings to provide a reliable foundation for the idea of history. Atlas of Renaissance Antiquarianism, moving along different lines of theoretical and practical conceptualisation, declines the matters according to a plethora of different disciplines: philology, iconology, numismatics, epigraphy, chronology, conviviality, art, and fashion. The purpose of this manyfold investigation is to demonstrate how the antiquarian approach – that based the growth of thought on documented sources and empirical evidence – represented a methodological perspective capable to influence the way the past was viewed through a critical analysis of sources.

    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Atti del IV Congresso della società di Didattica delle Lingue e Linguistica Educativa DILLE (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, 2-4 febbraio 2017). Il fenomeno dell’internazionalizzazione è sempre più presente in ogni sfera della vita economica, sociale e culturale del paese. In ambito educativo, l’internazionalizzazione è associata a nuove condizioni culturali e linguistiche, nuove esigenze e problemi, e i suoi effetti sono ad ampio raggio, dal momento che il fenomeno produce un impatto importante sull’educazione linguistica, sui programmi formativi per gli studenti, sulla formazione dei docenti, sull’erogazione di corsi. Dietro lo sfondo della crescente natura internazionale del sistema educativo, i contributi presentati al Congresso hanno esplorato le implicazioni per l’insegnamento/apprendimento delle lingue e per l’educazione linguistica in generale.

    The Reception of Sumerian Literature in the Western Periphery (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This book investigates the transmission of Sumerian literature to Syria and Anatolia (i.e. the Western periphery) during the Late Bronze Age. Sumerian is the most ancient language so far documented and remained for about three millennia the language of culture in Mesopotamia for its association with scribal education. With the end of the Old Babylonian period, Sumerian literary and lexical texts were disseminated to regions outside Mesopotamia. The volume, however, is not limited to the documentation stemming from peripheral sites but also includes a comprehensive study of contemporary Mesopotamian sources, i.e. Middle Babylonian and Middle Assyrian. Sumerian literature is best known through the Old Babylonian texts, to which countless studies were dedicated, while the subsequent period is poorly known and has been neglected by scholars for the scarcity of sources. Nevertheless, the Late Bronze Age is extremely important for the Sumerian literature because the process of selection and modification of texts that ended up in the first millennium canonization started in this period. Therefore, this book aims at filling a gap in our comprehension of the history of Sumerian literature. The primary objective of this book is the identification of the tradition of texts discovered in the Western periphery in comparison with second and first millennium Mesopotamian sources. The subject has been approached from different perspectives, taking into account philological, cultural, and historical aspects.

    Description: Il volume contiene l’edizione critica dell’anonimo volgarizzamento della Brevis introductio ad dictamen, uno dei più diffusi trattati di ars dictaminis del Trecento, opera del maestro bolognese Giovanni di Bonandrea. Il testo, conservato da un solo codice, il quattrocentesco Riccardiano 2323, stilisticamente è modesto, ma risulta assai interessante sotto l’aspetto linguistico, in quanto testimonia della ristretta circolazione del lessico dell’ars in volgare. L’edizione è accompagnata da un’introduzione, che esamina le modalità di traduzione e i problemi attributivi e di datazione, da un commento e da un glossario dei termini grammaticali, retorici e metrici.

    Can Unions Survive? (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: "Defines the challenges facing the movement and offers comprehensive prescriptions for its successful transformation." —The George Washington Law Review A valuable analysis of the rise, fall, and--hopefully—the revival of unionism in America. [The book] distills into readable form a mass of legal and empirical analysis of what has been happening in the workplaces of the United States and other industrial democracies. Most important, Craver has drawn a blueprint of what must be done to save collective bargaining in this century—must reading for scholars, lawmakers, and, especially, union leaders themselves. —Paul C. Weiler, Harvard Law SchoolAuthor of Governing the Workplace: The Future of Labor and Employment Law "A thoroughly researched, insightful, and readable look at why American unions have declined. . . . This is a very informative analyis of a vital topic, and it will have a multidisciplinary appeal to anyone interested in union- management relations. —Peter Feuille, Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, University of IllinoisWhen employees at firms like Greyhound and Eastern Airlines walk out to protest wage and benefit reductions, they are permanently replaced and their representative labor unions destroyed. Every year, the threat or drama of a high-profile strike—in air traffic control towers, at Amtrak, or at Caterpillar—makes national headlines and, every year, several hundred thousand unrepresented American employees are discharged without good cause. During the past decade, employer opposition to unions has increased. Industrial and demographic changes have eroded traditional blue-collar labor support, and class-based myths have discouraged organization among white-collar workers. As the American labor movement begins its second century, it is confronted by challenges that threaten its very existence. Is the decline of the American labor movement symptomatic of a terminal condition? In this work, Charles Craver presents an incisive analysis of the current state of the American labor movement and a manifesto for how this crucial institution can be revitalized. Journeying with the reader from the inception of labor unions through their heyday and to the present, Craver examines the roots of their decline, the current factors which contribute to their dismal condition, and the actions that are needed--such as the recruitment of female and minority employees and appeals to white-collar personnel--that are necessary to ensure union viability in the 21st century. Craver thoughtfully discusses what labor organizations must do to organize new workers, to enhance their economic and political power, and to adapt to modern-day advances and to an increasingly global economy. He also suggests changes that must be made in the National Labor Relations Act. This book is essential reading for lawyers, scholars, and policy-makers, as well as all those concerned with the future of the labor movement.

    Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, significant numbers of Haitian immigrants began to arrive and settle in Miami. Overcoming some of the most foreboding obstacles ever to face immigrants in America, they, their children, and now their grandchildren, as well as more recently arriving immigrants from Haiti, have diversified socioeconomically. Together, they have made South Florida home to the largest population of native-born Haitians and diasporic Haitians outside of the Caribbean and one of the most significant Caribbean immigrant communities in the world. Religion has played a central role in making all of this happen. Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith is a historical and ethnographic study of Haitian religion in immigrant communities, based on fieldwork in both Miami and Haiti, as well as extensive archival research. Where many studies of Haitian religion limit themselves to one faith, Rey and Stepick explore Catholicism, Protestantism, and Vodou in conversation with one another, suggesting that despite the differences between these practices, the three faiths ultimately create a sense of unity, fulfillment, and self-worth in Haitian communities. This meticulously researched and vibrantly written book contributes to the growing body of literature on religion among new immigrants, as well as providing a rich exploration of Haitian faith communities.

    Rappresentazioni di genere nel linguaggio dei TG italiani (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Questo libro presenta uno studio sulle rappresentazioni di genere nel linguaggio dei telegiornali italiani con un approccio interdisciplinare che integra l'analisi linguistica con l'analisi dei media. La prima parte fornisce una panoramica del quadro teorico e di ricerca su “lingua e genere” e “media e genere”, con una breve presentazione dei modelli teorici internazionali e una rassegna commentata dello stato dell'arte a livello nazionale, che evidenzia convergenze e nozioni condivise nella prospettiva comune del “genere” nei due ambiti disciplinari. La seconda parte presenta un’analisi delle rappresentazioni femminili e maschili nei telegiornali italiani, che esplora sia le variazioni di genere nel discorso delle fonti delle notizie, sia la tematizzazione di donne e uomini nei contenuti delle notizie, basandosi su un corpus linguistico. I risultati mostrano un quadro complesso: il linguaggio giornalistico italiano diffonde ancora attivamente rappresentazioni asimmetriche e stereotipate, caratterizzandosi così come androcentrico e sessista, ma mostra anche segni di innovazione rispetto al passato. In particolare, i risultati mostrano che un linguaggio giornalistico più consapevole del genere veicola rappresentazioni più gender-fair.

    Stolen Heritage (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: It is a well-known fact that organised crime has developed into an international network including very diverse actors – ranging from the simple ‘grave diggers’ to powerful and wealthy white-collar professionals – that adopt illegal practices like money laundering, fraud and forgery. This criminal system, ultimately, damages and disintegrates our cultural identity and, in some cases, fosters political corruption, terrorism or civil unrest through the transnational and illicit trafficking of cultural property. The forms of ‘ownership’ of Cultural Heritage are often indistinct, and – depending on the national legislation of reference – the proprietorship and trade of historical and artistic assets of value may be legitimate or not. Casual collectors and criminals have always taken advantage from these ambiguities and managed to place on the market items obtained by destruction and looting of museums, monuments and archaeological areas. Thus, over the years, even the most renowned museum institutions might have - more or less consciously – displayed, hosted or lent cultural objects of illicit origin. Ransacking, thefts, clandestine exports and disputable transactions are crimes that primarily affect countries that are rich in artistic and archaeological assets, but such activities do not involve just some countries. This is an international border-crossing phenomenon that starts in given countries and expands to many others. Some are briefly passed through while a handful of powerful and rich ones are the actual destination marketplaces. Drawing from the experience of the conference Stolen Heritage (Venice, December 2019), held in the framework of the H2020 NETCHER (NETwork and digital platform for Cultural Heritage Enhancing and Rebuilding) project, this edited volume focuses on illicit trafficking in cultural property addressing the issue from a multidisciplinary perspective and featuring papers authored by international experts and professionals actively involved in Cultural Heritage protection. The articles included expand on such diverse topics as the European legislation regulating import, export, trade and restitution of cultural objects; ‘conflict antiquities’ and cultural heritage at risk in the Near and Middle East; looting activities and illicit excavations in Italy; the use of technologies to counter looting practices and the publication of unprovenanced items. This collection is meant as a valuable resource to disseminate new results of the research as well as to facilitate a better understanding of the international legislation related to the protection of Cultural Heritage.

    Il libro dei cammelli errabondi e di quelli che li radunano (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Il libro dei cammelli errabondi e di quelli che li radunano è composto da 175 domande di tema filologico, letterario, etico, filosofico, scientifico, di costume e dalle relative risposte. Ha la forma di un dialogo fra il letterato al-Tawḥīdī e il filosofo Miskawayh elaborato alla fine del X secolo nel clima creato dall’ambientazione della filosofia e della scienza greca nella cultura arabo islamica. Da questa opera, di cui viene presentata qui la prima traduzione integrale in una lingua europea, emerge il ritratto di un ambiente multiculturale, intellettualmente curioso e aperto, in cui è lecito per esempio, interrogarsi sul rapporto tra ragione e legge religiosa, o sul perché distruggere è più agevole che costruire, uccidere più semplice che far vivere. Se un senso ultimo si deve cercare nell’interrogare i testi, è proprio quello della conoscenza di un passato che aiuti ad aprirsi con coscienza critica al presente, perché «la gente osteggia ciò che non conosce».

Piuttosto: vai alle Piramidi – non credo tu ci sia mai stato – ed entra nella grande Piramide. Là ti sentirai mancare i sensi. Ti sentirai soffocare, e il tuo corpo si coprirà di sudore. Sentirai come se stessi portando il peso di quel mastodontico edificio addosso, e avrai la sensazione di esserne schiacciato. Poi esci dal profondo di quella piramide e incontra la luce e l’aria aperta. Sappi che la vita in Egitto è la vita dentro alla Piramide, mentre la vita a Parigi è la vita dopo che sei riemerso da laggiù.

    Androids, Humanoids, and Other Folklore Monsters (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Science fiction films, from the original Frankenstein and The Fly to Blade Runner and The Terminator, traditionally have been filled with aliens, spaceships, androids, cyborgs, and all sorts of robotic creatures along with their various creators. The popular appeal of these characters is undeniable, but what is the meaning of this generation of creatures? What is the relationship of mad scientist to subject, of human to android, of creature to creator? Androids, Humanoids, and Other Folklore Monsters is a profound investigation of this popular cultural form. Starting his discussion with the possible source of these creatures, anthropologist and writer Per Schelde identifies the origin of these critters in the folklore of past generations. Continuing in the tradition of ancient folklore, contends Schelde, science fiction film is a fictional account of the ongoing battle between nature and culture. With the advance of science, the trolls, dwarves, pixies, nixies, and huldres that represented the unknown natural forces of the world were virtually killed off by ever-increasing knowledge and technology. The natural forces of the past that provided a threat to humans were replaced by the danger of unknown scientific experiments and disasters, as represented by their offspring: science fiction monsters. As the development of genetics, biomedical engineering, and artificial intelligence blur the lines between human and machine in the real world, thus invading the natural landscape with the products of man's techno-culture, the representation of this development poses interesting questions. As Per Schelde shows, it becomes increasingly difficult in science fiction film to define the humans from their creations, and thus increasingly difficult to identify the monster. Unlike science fiction literature, science fiction film has until now been largely neglected as a genre worthy of study and scholarship. Androids, Humanoids, and Other Folklore Monsters explores science fiction (sf) film as the modern incarnation of folklore, emblematic of the struggle between nature and culture—but with a new twist. Schelde explains how, as science conquered the forests and mountains of the wild, the mythic creatures of these realms—trolls, elves, and ogres—were relegated to cartoons and children's stories. Technology and outer space came to represent the modern wild, and this new unknown came alive in the popular imagination with the embodiments of our fears of that unknown: androids, cyborgs, genetics, and artificial intelligence gone awry. Implicit in all of these is a fear, and an indictment, of the power of science to invade our minds and bodies, replacing the individual soul with a mechanical, machine-made one. Focusing his analysis on sixty-five popular films, from Frankenstein and Metropolis to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Terminator, and Blade Runner, Per Schelde brings his command of traditional folklore to this serious but eminently readable look at SF movies, decoding their curious and often terrifying images as expressions of modern man's angst in the face of a rapidly advancing culture he cannot control. Anyone with an interest in popular culture, folklore, film studies, or science fiction will enjoy this original and comprehensive study.

    Description: L’esplorazione dell’arte armena iniziò nel diciannovesimo secolo grazie a storici dell’arte francesi, russi, tedeschi, finlandesi, austriaci e armeni e continuò nel ventesimo secolo prevalentemente con studiosi russi, armeni, ucraini, americani e italiani, che hanno portato all’attenzione del largo pubblico, non solo dei ricercatori, il patrimonio artistico di un territorio che supera i confini dell’attuale Armenia, e investe un’area definita Subcaucasia, termine con il quale si intende il territorio che dal Caucaso meridionale trapassa negli altopiani iranico e anatolico. L’interesse per l’arte armena, dai manoscritti miniati, ai khachkar, alle architetture, è cresciuto negli ultimi vent’anni conferendo a queste testimonianze una dimensione globale. Il volume illustra le caratteristiche, i temi e i metodi dei vari percorsi di ricerca emergenti dalle diverse tradizioni storiografiche tracciando così una mappa che aiuta ad orientarsi tra i fenomeni artistici e culturali di questo complesso territorio, fornendo diverse chiavi per comprenderli e ragionamenti utili per le future indagini scientifiche.

    Description: The Jesuit textual production from the sixteenth century leaves no doubt that the Japanese evangelising enterprise was publicised as the epitome of success. Francisco Cabral, third superior of the mission, who had initially shared this judgement, in time began fearing that the mission was, instead, doomed to failure. As he perceived the loosening of the internal ties of the Society of Jesus, and the salvation of the catechumens as more and more independent of that of the Jesuits, Cabral concluded that God had abandoned the mission. This study, using little-known manuscript sources, examines Cabral’s attitudes towards his confreres and the Japanese people, to illuminate how particular salvation mechanics could define early modern Catholic missions.

    The Next Generation (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: One fifth of the population of the United States belongs to the immigrant or second generations. While the US is generally thought of as the immigrant society par excellence, it now has a number of rivals in Europe. The Next Generation brings together studies from top immigration scholars to explore how the integration of immigrants affects the generations that come after. The original essays explore the early beginnings of the second generation in the United States and Western Europe, exploring the overall patterns of success of the second generation. While there are many striking similarities in the situations of the children of labor immigrants coming from outside the highly developed worlds of Europe and North America, wherever one looks, subtle features of national and local contexts interact with characteristics of the immigrant groups themselves to create variations in second-generation trajectories. The contributors show that these issues are of the utmost importance for the future, for they will determine the degree to which contemporary immigration will produce either durable ethno-racial cleavages or mainstream integration.

    High Hopes (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: The Clinton presidency is pivotal, occurring at a particularly sensitive time in American and world history. The Cold War has ended; yet Americans face daunting social and economic problems and are increasingly divided about how to address them. In this perceptive psychological portrait of Clinton and his presidency, expert Stanley Renshon investigates whether Clinton has demonstrated the requisite qualities of judgment, vision, character, and skill to meet the challenges he faces, domestically and internationally, and whether he merits another term. Renshon incisively analyzes Clinton's sweeping ambitions, his enormous confidence in himself and his goals, and his success in convincing people that he genuinely cares about them. He reveals a Bill Clinton whose capacity for political success is often undermined by the very traits for which many praise him. His unusually high self-confidence, for instance, leads him to believe that he can accomplish what others have not, that he can, for instance, reconcile polar opposites such as liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans. Remarkably persistent throughout Clinton's career are certain character traits which have defined him to the public--his tendency to make promises he can't keep, his ability to win people over in person, his sudden blind rages. Renshon traces the development of Clinton's character from his early family experiences to his highly successful adolescence and long political career. He illustrates how each step along the way--Clinton's inconsistent experiences as an adored but disregarded child, his attempt to avoid the draft and the consequences of doing so, his marriage to Hillary Rodham whose own psychology has both helped and hurt him, and his tenure as governor during which his character first became a political issue--is crucial to understanding his erratic and controversial presidency. Renshon explores the nature of the Clinton marriage as a political partnership and looks at Hillary Clinton as an associate president. High Hopes gives us a new understanding of why a man with so many talents has become a president whose performance has not measured up to his promise.

    The Americanization of the Jews (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: How did Judaism, a religion so often defined by its minority status, attain equal footing in the trinity of Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism that now dominates modern American religious life? THE AMERICANIZATION OF THE JEWS seeks out the effects of this evolution on both Jews in America and an America with Jews. Although English, French, and Dutch Jewries are usually considered the principal forerunners of modern Jewry, Jews have lived as long in North America as they have in post- medieval Britain and France and only sixty years less than in Amsterdam. As one of the four especially creative Jewish communities that has helped re-shape and re-formulate modern Judaism, American Judaism is the most complex and least understood. German Jewry is recognized for its contribution to modern Jewish theology and philosophy, Russian and Polish Jewry is known for its secular influence in literature, and Israel clearly offers Judaism a new stance as a homeland. But how does one capture the interplay between America and Judaism? Immigration to America meant that much of Judaism was discarded, and much was retained. Acculturation did not always lead to assimilation: Jewishness was honed as an independent variable in the motivations of many of its American adherents- -and has remained so, even though Jewish institutions, ideologies, and even Jewish values have been reshaped by America to such an degree that many Jews of the past might not recognize as Jewish some of what constitutes American Jewishness. This collection of essays explores the paradoxes that abound in the America/Judaism relationship, focusing on such specific issues as Jews and American politics in the twentieth century, the adaptation of Jewish religious life to the American environment, the contributions and impact of the women's movement, and commentaries on the Jewish future in America.

    Literatur der (Post-)Migration (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This volume brings together contributions from the international conference "Literatur zwischen Migration und Globalisierung. Formen der Komplexität in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur", which took place in May 2022 at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. It aims to reflect on the literature of migration of the last thirty years and to situate it in the increasingly complex world of our globalised present, crossed by the movements of people and cultures. The reflections of the individual essays take, as point of departure, the common observation that the literature of (post)migration is characterised by careful linguistic research and radical aesthetic experimentation, capable of interrogating our intercultural reality and of restoring a likewise complex image of the world and of society. The contributors that have converged in the present volume focus on examining the issues of complexity and identity, which, in the texts they discuss, are inextricably linked to the narration of spaces, borders, and movements. In the works of Uljana Wolf, Olga Grjasnowa, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Michael Stavarič, Terézia Mora, Emilia Smechowski, Feridun Zaimoglu, and Sasha Marianna Salzmann, the literary language variously becomes a means to explore new possibilities of meaning, to recover what has been erased, to reconstruct the biographical stratifications inscribed in the bodies, to feel at home in a foreign world, to criticise the historical memory of society, to register bilingualisms, conflicts, and ‘in-betweenness’, and hence to narrate the new forms of identity, of hybrid identity, of postidentity, and of gender identity that are formed as a result of first, second, or third generation migrations and in correspondence with precise geographical and human spaces.

    Conversations about Psychology and Sexual Orientation (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Psychology's approach to sexual orientation has long had its foundation in essentialism, which undergirds psychological theory and research as well as clinical practice and applications of psychology to public policy issues. It is only recently that psychology as a discipline has begun to entertain social constructivism as an alternative approach. Based on the belief that thoughtful dialogue can engender positive change, Conversations about Psychology and Sexual Orientation explores the implications for psychology of both essentialist and social constructionist understandings of sexual orientation. The book opens with an introduction presenting basic theoretical frameworks, followed by three application sections dealing with clinical practice, research and theory, and public policy. In each, the discussion takes the form of a conversation, as the authors first consider essentialist and constructionist approaches to the topic at hand. These thoughts, in turn, are followed by responses from distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular area. By providing an array of comments and thoughtful responses to topics surrounding psychology's approaches to sexual orientation, this valuable study sheds new light on the contrasting views held in the field and the ways in which essentialist and constructionist understandings may be applied to specific practices and policies.

    Description: Pandemics are disruptive events that have profound consequences for society and the economy. This volume aims to present an analysis of the economic impact of COVID-19 and its likely consequences for our future. This is achieved by drawing from the expertise of authors who specialise in a wide range of fields including fiscal and monetary policy, banking, financial markets, pensions and insurance, artificial intelligence and big data, climate change, labour market, travel, tourism and politics, among others. We asked contributing authors to write their chapters for a non-technical audience so that their message could reach beyond academia and professional economists to policy makers and the wider society. The material in this volume draws from the latest research and provides a wealth of ideas for further investigations and opportunities for reflection. This also makes it an ideal learning tool for economics and finance students wishing to gain a deeper understanding of how COVID-19 could influence their disciplines.

    Images from the Past: Intertextuality in Japanese Premodern Literature (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This volume brings together scholars from different backgrounds and career stages to rethink the role and scope of intertextuality in the context of premodern Japan. From antiquity to the rise of modernity, originality through repetition persists as a staple in the literary, performative, and artistic traditions of this country. Nonetheless, rather than slavish recycling of pre-existing tropes, the redeployment of familiar motifs by patterns of borrowing, allusion, and imitation would become a means to explore untrodden creative pathways and craft a shared sense of cultural belonging. Stemming from an international symposium hosted at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2021 with the generous support of The Japan Foundation, the papers in this collection offer a thoughtful contribution to this debate by engaging texts from different historical periods, media, and genres – be it poetic, narrative, theatrical, visual, or religious. Although intertextuality may not be a new topic, the essays that follow attest to the enduring appeal of a concept whose explanatory power proves most effective when combined with other methods of inquiry, such as discourse analysis, social sciences, gender studies, and material culture. Thus, while opening new windows onto Japan’s literary worlds, these cross-disciplinary approaches provide further insights into the uses (and abuses) of the past in a non-Western non-modern society.

    Description: Nel 1968 fu pubblicata la prima edizione completa della Bibbia cattolica in lingua cinese. Gli autori della traduzione erano i membri dello Studium Biblicum Franciscanum Sinense, l’istituto biblico fondato nel 1945 a Pechino dal francescano Padre Gabriele Allegra, che aveva inaugurato il progetto e scelto i suoi primi collaboratori. Questo volume approfondisce la formazione e il ruolo dei francescani cinesi coinvolti nella traduzione e delinea l’attività degli stessi nella successiva fondazione della Vicaria e della Provincia francescana cinese (1970, 1989). Viene presentata in dettaglio la figura di Padre Ludovico Liu Xutang, membro dello Studio Biblico e primo Vicario nel 1970. La traduzione del volumetto Huainian Liu Xutang shenfu consente di vedere concretizzati gli impegni di Padre Liu nelle attività bibliche dello Studio, nell’erezione della Provincia Reginae Sinarum e nella ripresa dei contatti con i cattolici della Cina continentale, e offre al lettore una raccolta di testimonianze dirette sulla vita del francescano.

    Description: La conoscenza della grammatica dei versi, che ha toccato il suo più alto livello speculativo con la teoria di al-Halıl ibn Ahmad nell’VIII secolo, è il cuore segreto della poesia araba – mai finora sistematicamente scrutato – di cui nel corso dei secoli si sono nutrite le sfide e le dispute dei poeti e dei loro critici. A partire dalla lettura dei trattati di metrica medievali, viene qui offerto il quadro storico della disciplina versificatoria e la ricostruzione dei suoi fondamenti tecnici, cui segue l’analisi di ciascuno dei sedici metri e infine l’esame dei modi in cui si compone la rima.

    Description: Despite tremendous advances in civil rights, we live in a world where the sexes remain sharply segregated from birth to death: in names, clothing, social groupings, and possessions; in occupations, civic association, and domestic roles. Gender separatism, so pervasive as to be almost invisible, permeates the fabric of our daily social routines. Preferring a notion of gender that is fluid and contextual, and denying that separatism is inevitable, Nancy Levit dismantles the myths of gender essentialism Drawing on a wealth of interdisciplinary data regarding the biological and cultural origins of sex differences, Levit provides a fresh perspective on gendered behaviors and argues the need for careful cultivation of new relations between the sexes. With its focus particularly on men, The Gender Line offers an insightful overview of the construction of gender and the damaging effects of its stereotypes. Levit analyzes the ways in which law legitimizes the social segregation of the sexes through legal decisions regarding custody, employment, education, sexual harassment, and criminal law. In so doing, she illustrates the ways in which men's and women's oppressions are intertwined and how law molds the very definition of masculinity. Applying feminist methodology to the doctrine of feminism itself, Levit artfully demonstrates that gender separatism infects even our contemporary views of feminism. Levit asks questions that have been too long been unspoken--those that lie at the core of the feminist project, yet threaten its very foundations. Revealing masculinity as both a privileged and a victimized condition, she calls for a step forward, past the bounds of contemporary feminism and its conflicts, toward a more egalitarian and inclusive feminism. This brand of feminism would reshape traditional masculinity, invite men into feminist dialogue, and claim men as political allies.

    Metafore e linguaggio figurato nel Medioevo e nell’opera di Dante (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: La metafora è una componente fondamentale di ogni linguaggio, e in particolare di quello poetico. Nel Medioevo si sviluppano ampie riflessioni sugli usi propri della lingua, gli ornamenti stilistici e i vari significati di un testo. Dante si appropria di queste elaborazioni teoriche per legittimare il proprio uso del linguaggio figurato e per dar vita a un articolato sistema di metafore che rinnovano la lingua, realizzano complesse strategie discorsive e istituiscono fitte reti di connessioni. Questo volume si propone di intrecciare una storia delle teorie medievali sul linguaggio figurato con un esame delle riflessioni dantesche e con un’analisi multifocale delle metafore della Commedia.

    Description: Once hailed as superpower and benchmark of Post-Fordism management, Japan’s economy and its corporations are taken as negative example of insufficient compliance to neoliberalist policies. This book demonstrates that the problems of Japan’s economy and corporations are more universal: encountering the limits of mass-industrialised production and consumption, large corporations fail to ignite innovation by decentralisation and bottom-up participation. Instead, they increase their returns by ongoing cost reduction and centralization, adhere to large-scale technology, fuel profits into M&A to defend their traditional business models and privilege capital providers and top executives.

    Description: An "experienced overseer of intelligence" maps out the future of American intelligence and security Recent years have seen numerous books about the looming threat posed to Western society by biological and chemical terrorism, by narcoterrorists, and by the unpredictable leaders of rogue nations. Some of these works have been alarmist. Some have been sensible and measured. But none has been by Loch Johnson. Johnson, author of the acclaimed Secret Agencies and "an experienced overseer of intelligence" (Foreign Affairs), here examines the present state and future challenges of American strategic intelligence. Written in his trademark style--dubbed "highly readable" by Publishers Weekly--and drawing on dozens of personal interviews and contacts, Johnson takes advantage of his insider access to explore how America today aspires to achieve nothing less than "global transparency," ferreting out information on potential dangers in every corner of the world. And yet the American security establishment, for all its formidable resources, technology, and networks, currently remains a loose federation of individual fortresses, rather than a well integrated "community" of agencies working together to provide the President with accurate information on foreign threats and opportunities. Intelligence failure, like the misidentified Chinese embassy in Belgrade accidentally bombed by a NATO pilot, is the inevitable outcome when the nation's thirteen secret agencies steadfastly resist the need for central coordination. Ranging widely and boldly over such controversial topics as the intelligence role of the United Nations (which Johnson believes should be expanded) and whether assassination should be a part of America's foreign policy (an option he rejects for fear that the U.S. would then be cast not only as global policeman but also as global godfather), Loch K. Johnson here maps out a critical and prescriptive vision of the future of American intelligence.

    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Come può l’individuo trovare la strada dell’emancipazione se la modernità, che gliela prospetta, si rivela una gabbia? Se egli è irretito e non liberato dai progressi sociali, politici, economici e tecnico-scientifici, perso nel labirinto delle grandi città? Opere degli ultimi decenni dell’Ottocento di Ibsen, Bang, Strindberg, Obstfelder e Claussen mostrano l’acuta percezione del dilemma, ma invitano anche ad avventurarsi nella lettura dei segni del moderno: un percorso dall’esito incerto, ma che produce risultati decisivi per la letteratura. Eredi di Romanticismo, Realismo e Naturalismo, aperti agli orizzonti del Simbolismo, questi autori scandinavi inaugurano il Modernismo europeo.

    Description: Scrivere di Islam. Raccontare la diaspora è una riflessione sul nostro presente multireligioso, multiculturale, e multilingue. È il frutto di riflessioni personali e collaborative sulla necessità di ripensare la cultura e l’identità nazionale in maniera più diversa, inclusiva, e antirazzista. Se è vero che la letteratura può formare o mettere in discussione le comunità di cui ci sentiamo parte, interrogare il modo in cui i prodotti culturali sono realizzati e consumati può essere un’opportunità per ripensare il nostro senso di appartenenza e per mettere in discussione le categorie dicotomiche che spesso lo definiscono.

Da questa disamina ricca di documentazione, il posting of workers emerge come una nuova frontiera della svalorizzazione del lavoro, che estremizza tendenze caratteristiche delle trasformazioni del lavoro avvenute negli ultimi decenni a scala globale, in primis la precarizzazione e il dumping sociale.

    Description: Whether in the form of the ongoing automotive wars, books and films such as Michael Crichton's Rising Sun, or George Bush's ill-fated trip to Japan in 1991, frictions between the United States and Japan have been steadily on the rise. Americans are bombarded with images of Japan's fundamental difference; at the same time, voices in Japan call for a Japan That Can Say No. If the guiding principle of the Clinton administration is indeed new values for a new generation, how will this be reflected in U.S.-Japanese relations? Convinced that no true solution to U.S.-Japanese frictions can be achieved without tracing these frictions back to their origin, Ryuzo Sato here draws on a binational experience that spans three decades in both the Japanese and American business and academic communities to do just that. In an attempt to bridge the communication gap between the two countries and dispel some of the mutual ignorance and misunderstanding that prevails between the two, Sato addresses the following questions: --Is Japan really different? --Has America's sun set? --How have conflicting views on the role of government affected U.S.-Japan relations? --What are the real differences in American and Japanese industrial policies? --What is the anatomy of U.S.-Japanese antagonisms? --What effect has the collapse of the bubble economy had on relations? --What is Japan's future course? Is it truly a technological superpower? Can it avoid international isolation? An incisive personal look at one of the most important political and economic global relationships, written by a major player in the world of international business and finance, THE CHRYSANTHEMUM AND THE EAGLE provides a readable and engaging tour of U.S.-Japan relations, past and present.

    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: In che modo Cipro, avamposto della dinastia tolemaica nel Mediterraneo orientale, entrò nell’orbita politica di Roma? L’isola, celebre in antico per le sue ricchezze, fu dichiarata proprietà del popolo romano nel 58 a.C. su iniziativa di P. Clodio Pulcro, che fece affidare a Catone Uticense il comando della missione incaricata di porre in atto la confisca. Si creò così un inusitato sodalizio fra il celebre tribuno della plebe e lo stoico aristocratico romano: i loro interessi trovarono un’importante convergenza nell’ambito di una vicenda in cui l’espansionismo romano si intersecò con il dibattito politico interno e lo scontro per l’affermazione delle grandi personalità del tempo. Il libro indaga l’episodio grazie al quale Cipro fu inserita in una rete strategica e commerciale di vasta scala: la base legale, le motivazioni, lo svolgimento e gli effetti della conquista sono indagati analiticamente, a partire da un ricco dossier di fonti antiche, alcune soltanto di recente scoperte o valorizzate dalla critica.

    Jews in the Soviet Union: A History (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Offers an analysis of Soviet Jewish society after the death of Joseph Stalin At the beginning of the twentieth century, more Jews lived in the Russian Empire than anywhere else in the world. After the Holocaust, the USSR remained one of the world’s three key centers of Jewish population, along with the United States and Israel. While a great deal is known about the history and experiences of the Jewish people in the US and in Israel in the twentieth century, much less is known about the experiences of Soviet Jews. Understanding the history of Jewish communities under Soviet rule is essential to comprehending the dynamics of Jewish history in the modern world. Only a small number of scholars and the last generation of Soviet Jews who lived during this period hold a deep knowledge of this history. Jews in the Soviet Union, a new multi-volume history, is an unprecedented undertaking. Publishing over the next few years, this groundbreaking work draws on rare access to documents from the Soviet archives, allowing for the presentation of a sweeping history of Jewish life in the Soviet Union from 1917 through the early 1990s. Volume 5 offers a history of Soviet Jewry from the demise of the brutal dictator Joseph Stalin to the military confrontation between Israel and Arab states in 1967 known as the Six-Day War. Both historic events deeply affected Soviet Jews, who numbered over two million in the wake of the Holocaust and still formed at that point the second-largest Jewish population in the world. Stalin’s death led to the release of political prisoners and the reduction of the level of fear in society. The economy was growing and conditions of life were improving. At the same time, the state had doubts about the loyalty of the Jewish population and imposed limitations on their educational and career prospects. The relatively liberal period associated with Nikita Khrushchev’s “thaw” after the Stalinist bitter frost became a prelude to the years when contemplation about, or practical steps toward, emigration to Israel or elsewhere began to play an increasing role in the lives of Soviet Jews. In this pioneering analysis of the “thaw” years in Soviet Jewish history, Gennady Estraikh focuses both on the factors driving emigration and dissent, and on those Jews who were able to attain a high standard of living, and to rise to esteemed positions in managerial, academic, bohemian, and other segments of the Soviet elite.

    Description: Between the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century the British Museum acquired as part of its cuneiform collections 120 economic tablets from Uruk dating to the Seleucid period; they belong to what has been described as “the most spectacular Hellenistic archives available today”. This book offers an analysis of the collection, accompanied by text editions. The approach adopted is to explore the documents in three main thematic sections: arable land, urban properties, and temple prebends. The administrative texts have been treated as a group. Particular attention is paid to the role played by specific families, individuals or groups in each area of interest, as well as to shedding new light on the ownership patterns and business strategies that characterised the activities of the parties to the documents.

    Valutazione linguistica in italiano e nella LIS e strategie di intervento (2024)

    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This volume gathers some original studies conducted by graduates of the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, who have contributed to the research in linguistics through the description of the linguistic competence of individuals whose access to language is compromised, and whose ability to verbally express themselves is limited or completely hindered. Thanks to their contributions, targeted linguistic strategies have also been developed to promote the enhancement of language and communication skills in some of these individuals. The first article provides some observations on the methods and tools available for assessing and improving linguistic competence in contexts of deafness and communication disabilities. Three articles focus on describing the linguistic competence of different groups of deaf or hard-of-hearing adults, assessing some linguistic properties (clitic pronouns and interrogative sentences) in Italian, and narrative abilities in Italian and Italian sign language. One contribution focuses on the case of a deaf girl of foreign origin with extremely poor linguistic competence in Italian. Teaching activities have been proposed using various multimedia and multimodal tools to enhance her language skills in Italian and her communicative abilities. The final contribution, following a similar approach, describes the communication methods based on the use of signs proposed to a girl with a phonological and articulatory disorder to allow her to interact with the people around her.

    Description: All’interno della millenaria storia della Crimea, questo volume prende in considerazione l’arco temporale del dominio imperiale russo sulla regione, vale a dire dalla conquista del 1783 sino alla Rivoluzione del 1917. L’accento principale è posto sul tema della dimensione multietnica e multiculturale della penisola, che in questo periodo costituiva un vero e proprio mosaico di popolazioni. L’idea centrale del volume è che alla storia politica e culturale della Crimea in epoca imperiale occorra accostarsi superando sia il tradizionale russocentrismo, sia uno studio troppo parziale delle singole comunità e culture, quasi non interagissero le une con le altre e non si trovassero inserite in un contesto più ampio al quale dovevano tutte corrispondere, sia pure con modalità proprie.

    Autism and the Myth of the Person Alone (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Engages with the perspectives of people with autism, in their own voices Autism has been defined by experts as a developmental disorder affecting social and communication skills as well as verbal and nonverbal communication. It is said to occur in as many as 2 to 6 in 1,000 individuals. This book challenges the prevailing, tragic narrative of impairment that so often characterizes discussions about autism. Autism and the Myth of the Person Alone seriously engages the perspectives of people with autism, including those who have been considered as the most severely disabled within the autism spectrum. The heart of the book consists of chapters by people with autism themselves, either in an interview format with the author or written by themselves. Each author communicates either by typing or by a combination of speech and typing. These chapters are framed by a substantive introduction and conclusion that contextualize the book, the methodology, and the analysis, and situate it within a critical disability studies framework. The volume allows a look into the rich and insightful perspectives of people who have heretofore been thought of as uninterested in the world.

    Activist New York (2024)
    NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Follows centuries of New York activism to reveal the city as a globally influential machine for social change Activist New York surveys New York City’s long history of social activism from the 1650’s to the 2010’s. Bringing these passionate histories alive, Activist New York is a visual exploration of these movements, serving as a companion book to the highly-praised Museum of the City of New York exhibition of the same name. New York’s primacy as a metropolis of commerce, finance, industry, media, and ethnic diversity has given it a unique and powerfully influential role in the history of American and global activism. Steven H. Jaffe explores how New York’s evolving identities as an incubator and battleground for activists have made it a “machine for change.” In responding to the city as a site of slavery, immigrant entry, labor conflicts, and wealth disparity, New Yorkers have repeatedly challenged the status quo. Activist New York brings to life the characters who make up these vibrant histories, including David Ruggles, an African American shopkeeper who helped enslaved fugitives on the city’s Underground Railroad during the 1830s; Clara Lemlich, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who helped spark the 1909 “Uprising of 20,000” that forever changed labor relations in the city’s booming garment industry; and Craig Rodwell, Karla Jay, and others who forged a Gay Liberation movement both before and after the Stonewall Riot of June 1969. The city’s inhabitants have been at the forefront of social change on issues ranging from religious tolerance and minority civil rights to sexual orientation and economic justice. Across 16 lavishly illustrated chronological chapters focusing on specific historical episodes, Jaffe explores how New York and New Yorkers have changed the way Americans think, feel, and act.

    Description: This volume analyses exclusion processes, segregation dynamics and the forms of discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers in Italy, where the reception system is marked by opaqueness and arbitrariness and is becoming increasingly similar to the model of “camps”. The numerous vibrant contributions present a fully-fledged system of inferiorization, characterised by labour exploitation, housing discomfort, meagre rights and control strategies, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a sharp worsening of the health, work, housing and administrative conditions. A framework that has found opposition in the daily resistance and in the struggles of asylum seekers.

    The Truth About Freud's Technique (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: In this unusual and much-needed reappraisal of Freud's clinical technique, M. Guy Thompson challenges the conventional notion that psychoanalysis promotes relief from suffering and replaces it with a more radical assertion, that psychoanalysis seeks to mend our relationship with the real that has been fractured by our avoidance of the same. Thompson suggests that, while avoiding reality may help to relieve our experience of suffering, this short-term solution inevitably leads to a split in our existence. M. Guy Thompson forcefully disagrees with the recent trend that dismisses Freud as an historical figure who is out of step with the times. He argues, instead, for a return to the forgotten Freud, a man inherently philosophical and rooted in a Greek preoccupation with the nature of truth, ethics, the purpose of life and our relationship with reality. Thompson's argument is situated in a stunning re-reading of Freud's technical papers, including a new evaluation of his analyses of Dora and the Rat Man in the context of Heidegger's understanding of truth. In this remarkable examination of Freud's technical recommendations, M. Guy Thompson explains how psychoanalysis was originally designed to re-acquaint us with realities we had abandoned by encountering them in the contest of the analytic experience. This provocative examination of Freud's conception of psychoanalysis reveals a more personal Freud than we had previously supposed, one that is more humanistic and real.

    Corpus-Based Research on Chinese Language and Linguistics (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: This volume collects papers presenting corpus-based research on Chinese language and linguistics, from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. The contributions cover different fields of linguistics, including syntax and pragmatics, semantics, morphology and the lexicon, sociolinguistics, and corpus building. There is now considerable emphasis on the reliability of linguistic data: the studies presented here are all grounded in the tenet that corpora, intended as collections of naturally occurring texts produced by a variety of speakers/writers, provide a more robust, statistically significant foundation for linguistic analysis. The volume explores not only the potential of using corpora as tools allowing access to authentic language material, but also the challenges involved in corpus interrogation, analysis, and building.

    Description: Il volume miscellaneo che qui si presenta è stato pensato da amici e colleghi non solo come omaggio a Paolo Mastandrea, ma anche e soprattutto come illustrazione delle innumerevoli prospettive aperte dai suoi studi: l’indagine dei meccanismi dell’intertestualità nel mondo antico; l’analisi filologica di tradizioni controverse; i numerosi problemi storico-letterari offerti dai testi della Tarda Antichità latina; l’esame della ricezione umanistica e rinascimentale dell’eredità classica. Non si è naturalmente trascurato il contributo cruciale portato dallo studioso alla teorizzazione e allo sviluppo, fin dagli anni Novanta, di strumenti informatici di ricerca testuale, la cosiddetta ‘galassia Musisque Deoque’, di cui si tiene conto in molti dei lavori presenti nel volume.

    Description: Che cosa fu il tiranno e che cos’è la tirannide? Come restituire problematicità speculativa a queste due nozioni usurate da indeterminatezza e discredito? I saggi della prima parte di questo volume indagano il senso della tirannide attraverso la ripresa di otto figure decisive: la coppia archetipica Giobbe-Edipo, il momento-Machiavelli, l’Illuminismo francese, Weber, Heidegger, Voegelin, Hayek e Aron. La seconda parte ricostruisce, a partire da testi inediti, lo scenario del classico dibattito che vide protagonisti Strauss e Kojève. Ad integrazione di tali indagini viene proposta la traduzione di due saggi di Strauss e Fessard, ed una bibliografia aggiornata.

    Eric J. Hobsbawm tra marxismo britannico e comunismo italiano (2024)
    Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Sul finire dello scorso secolo Eric J. Hobsbawm, sollecitato circa il motivo del suo essere così filo-italiano, rispose che era difficile non esserlo. A partire dai primi anni Cinquanta era entrato in contatto con il mondo culturale e politico italiano, instaurandovi duraturi rapporti professionali, di amicizia e di affinità politica. Il volume, giovandosi di fonti archivistiche inedite e sviluppando il genere biografico attraverso un approccio di ‘microstoria translocale’, mette a fuoco l’affinità elettiva che legò lo storico inglese all’Italia, ricostruendone le reti di relazioni, esaminando gli esiti che queste interazioni provocarono nella sua identità comunista così come nella sua produzione storiografica, analizzando infine la fortuna italiana delle sue opere.

    Victims in the War on Crime (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Two phenomena have shaped American criminal law for the past thirty years: the war on crime and the victims' rights movement. As incapacitation has replaced rehabilitation as the dominant ideology of punishment, reflecting a shift from an identification with defendants to an identification with victims, the war on crime has victimized offenders and victims alike. What we need instead, Dubber argues, is a system which adequately recognizes both victims and defendants as persons. Victims in the War on Crime is the first book to provide a critical analysis of the role of victims in the criminal justice system as a whole. It also breaks new ground in focusing not only on the victims of crime, but also on those of the war on victimless crime. After first offering an original critique of the American penal system in the age of the crime war, Dubber undertakes an incisive comparative reading of American criminal law and the law of crime victim compensation, culminating in a wide-ranging revision that takes victims seriously, and offenders as well. Dubber here salvages the project of vindicating victims' rights for its own sake, rather than as a weapon in the war against criminals. Uncovering the legitimate core of the victims' rights movement from underneath existing layers of bellicose rhetoric, he demonstrates how victims' rights can help us build a system of American criminal justice after the frenzy of the war on crime has died down.

    Freezing Fertility (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Welcomed as liberation and dismissed as exploitation, egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) has rapidly become one of the most widely-discussed and influential new reproductive technologies of this century. In Freezing Fertility, Lucy van de Wiel takes us inside the world of fertility preservation—with its egg freezing parties, contested age limits, proactive anticipations and equity investments—and shows how the popularization of egg freezing has profound consequences for the way in which female fertility and reproductive aging are understood, commercialized and politicized. Beyond an individual reproductive choice for people who may want to have children later in life, Freezing Fertility explores how the rise of egg freezing also reveals broader cultural, political and economic negotiations about reproductive politics, gender inequities, age normativities and the financialization of healthcare. Van de Wiel investigates these issues by analyzing a wide range of sources—varying from sparkly online platforms to heart-breaking court cases and intimate autobiographical accounts—that are emblematic of each stage of the egg freezing procedure. By following the egg’s journey, Freezing Fertility examines how contemporary egg freezing practices both reflect broader social, regulatory and economic power asymmetries and repoliticize fertility and aging in ways that affect the public at large. In doing so, the book explores how the possibility of egg freezing shifts our relation to the beginning and end of life.

    Euripide, Ifigenia in Aulide (2024)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-22
    Description: Un sacrificio umano, empio, abnorme, grava sul tessuto drammaturgico di Ifigenia in Aulide: la figlia del re deve essere immolata per propiziare la spedizione contro Troia. Personaggi instabili e di levatura morale modesta, pronti a repentini cambiamenti di idea, cercano vanamente di opporsi all’orrore del sacrificio, finché la protagonista, per un illusorio ideale patriottico, sceglie di andare volontariamente verso la morte eroica sull’altare. A chiusura di una tragedia testualmente labile, l’esodo spurio, in cui l’empietà dell’atto è trascesa dall’esito numinoso, avvolge di mistero la morte di Ifigenia. Smarrito il senso della politica, rimane la favola bella, con effetti patetici e quadri di raffinato gusto pittorico. La tormentata vicenda critico-testuale del dramma viene ripercorsa in questa prima edizione critica italiana, che sceglie una linea di equilibrio nella costituzione del testo.

    Please Don't Wish Me a Merry Christmas (2024)
    New York University Press | NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Whether in the form of Christmas trees in town squares or prayer in school, fierce disputes over the separation of church and state have long bedeviled this country. Both decried and celebrated, this principle is considered by many, for right or wrong, a defining aspect of American national identity. Nearly all discussions regarding the role of religion in American life build on two dominant assumptions: first, the separation of church and state is a constitutional principle that promotes democracy and equally protects the religious freedom of all Americans, especially religious outgroups; and second, this principle emerges as a uniquely American contribution to political theory. In Please Don't Wish Me a Merry Christmas, Stephen M. Feldman challenges both these assumptions. He argues that the separation of church and state primarily manifests and reinforces Christian domination in American society. Furthermore, Feldman reveals that the separation of church and state did not first arise in the United States. Rather, it has slowly evolved as a political and religious development through western history, beginning with the initial appearance of Christianity as it contentiously separated from Judaism.In tracing the historical roots of the separation of church and state within the Western world, Feldman begins with the Roman Empire and names Augustine as the first political theorist to suggest the idea. Feldman next examines how the roles of church and state variously merged and divided throughout history, during the Crusades, the Italian Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, the British Civil War and Restoration, the early North American colonies, nineteenth-century America, and up to the present day. In challenging the dominant story of the separation of church and state, Feldman interprets the development of Christian social power vis--vis the state and religious minorities, particularly the prototypical religious outgroup, Jews.

    A Feeling of Belonging (2024)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: When we imagine the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading, and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time. In A Feeling of Belonging, Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation—the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass and began to make their presence felt in the United States. Though they were distinguished from previous generations by their American citizenship, it was only through these seemingly mundane “American”activities that they were able to overcome two-dimensional stereotypes of themselves as kimono-clad “Orientals.” Lim traces the diverse ways in which these young women sought claim to cultural citizenship, exploring such topics as the nation's first Asian American sorority, Chi Alpha Delta; the cultural work of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong; Asian American youth culture and beauty pageants; and the achievement of fame of three foreign-born Asian women in the late 1950s. By wearing poodle skirts, going to the beach, and producing magazines, she argues, they asserted not just their American-ness, but their humanity: a feeling of belonging.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Few afflictions are as frightening or as heartbreaking as mental illness. It may be a topic that many would prefer to sweep under the rug, but it is a fact of life that we as a society can and must face. We have come a long way over the past few decades in our understanding of mental illness and its potential treatments. Yet, tragically, many across the country who struggle with serious mental illness are unable to find effective, quality medical treatment. As a federal commission on mental health concluded, the system of care is in shambles. But why? And how do we fix it? Timothy A. Kelly, former Commissioner of Virginia’s Department of Mental Health, Retardation, and Substance Abuse, brings his three decades of experience as mental health commissioner, psychology professor, and clinician to bear in confronting this crisis in America’s mental health care system. In clear and accessible terms, he exposes the weaknesses in the current system, examining how and why one of the world’s richest and most advanced countries has allowed its most vulnerable citizens to be victimized by the very system designed to help them. Armed with the latest statistics, a lifetime of experience, and heartrending life stories, Kelly argues that the patchwork of care traditionally employed to treat mental illness is simply not up to the task, and that what we need is profound, fundamental, and system-wide change. He then goes on to provide an easy-to-follow road map for achieving lasting transformation, centered on five recommendations for creating a truly effective mental health system of care that enables patients to achieve a lasting recovery. Mental illness is not going to just go away, but Kelly prescribes a comprehensive plan to make treatment accessible and effective so that those who suffer can rejoin their families and their communities. He shows how a transformed system of community-based care allows those with serious mental illness to finally be able to go home.
