Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2003Women, gender and fascism in Europe, 1919–45
by Kevin Passmore
What attracts women to far-right movements that appear to denigrate their rights? This question has vexed feminist scholars for decades and has led to many lively debates in the academy. In this context, during the 1980s, the study of women, gender, and fascism in twentieth-century Europe took off, pioneered by historians such as Claudia Koonz and Victoria de Grazia. This volume makes an exciting contribution to the evolving body of work based upon these earlier studies, bringing emerging scholarship on Central and Eastern Europe alongside that of more established Western European historiography on the topic. Women, Gender and Fascism in Europe, 1919-45 features fourteen essays covering Serbia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Latvia, and Poland in addition to Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and Britain, and a conclusion that pulls together a European-wide perspective. As a whole, the volume provides a compelling comparative examination of this important topic through current research, literature reviews, and dialogue with existing debates. The essays cast new light on questions such as women's responsibility for the collapse of democracy in interwar Europe, the interaction between the women's movement and the extreme right, and the relationships between conceptions of national identity and gender. ;

Games for learning mathematics while having fun
by Grazia Cotroni
In a single box, three original games, MATabù, Dominù e D3C1FR4, created to practice and consolidate the main concepts of arithmetic covered in all three years of lower secondary school, through fun classroom challenges.The playful dynamics of the games proposed in Math, what challenge – Arithmetic facilitates motivation and promotes a stimulating learning environment for the assimilation of contents, in which to train strategic skills and encourage group cooperation. The didactic objectivesLearning by playing is certainly a fun and never boring methodology to consolidate concepts, in particular, the three games proposed in Math, what a challenge – Arithmetic allow you to: Recognize and describe arithmetic concepts Read and decode the formalities of mathematical language Risolve arithmetic expressions Identify strategies and cooperate to reach an objective The gamesThe four decks of cards contained in the box allow for the playing of 3 different games: MATabù: get your team to guess as many arithmetic-related words as possible within a set time and without pronouncing the forbidden words indicated on the card. Dominù: link the expressions together according to their result, just like in classic dominoes! D3C1FR4: write the arithmetic expressions read aloud by another player in mathematical language. The series Math, what a challenge!The series Math, what a challenge! was born from the intuition of creating games with a modality similar to the most common ones, practicing the macro-topics upon which the teaching of mathematics in lower secondary school is based: Geometry, Arithmetic and Algebra. Through playful activities, children can recognize what they study in a non-scholastic context, acquiring and understanding it from a new perspective. A stimulus for resuming studies, studying, for reviewing or for a better assimilation of the contents.

July 2013Voce del verbo coppia
12 esercizi per vivere insieme
by Maria Grazia e Umberto Bovani
Queste pagine sono ispirate da alcuni interrogativi semplici ma essenziali: su che rotta ci stiamo muovendo nella nostra vita di coppia? Siamo consapevoli del punto in cui siamo giunti insieme? Stiamo andando in una direzione conoscendo il cammino che ci attende? Cercare di rimettere in dialogo positivo senso e ragioni della vita affettiva non solo è possibile, ma soprattutto è necessario per tutti, senza distinzioni. Ragionare su alcuni verbi in una prospettiva spirituale è una modalità interessante. Verbi non solo da leggere, ma da vivere: occasione per fermarsi, meditare e condividere. Azioni concrete che possono ridare slancio alla relazione di coppia.

Praticare e raccontare i santi segni
by Franco Giulio, Brambilla
In 1927 Romano Guardini wrote a precious little book on The Holy Signs, with pages of incomparable depth. Franco Giulio Brambilla, a well-known theologian and pastor, takes up and revisits the theme in a current and captivating language. The liturgical signs are here characterized by their prevailing trait: bodily signs (standing, kneeling, beating one’s chest, raising and imposing hands), creatural signs (water, light/fire, oil, bread and wine) and ritual signs (candle, ash, incense, robes, bells). The result is a surprising journey that renews these symbols to hand over the fire of existence to the new generations.

FictionTHE CONTRACT
by MOJCA ŠIROK
Nominated for The Kresnik Award in 2019 (Award for the best novel in Slovenia). The first body of a man is discovered by the police in a prestigious city quarter, in the villa belonging to one of the most successful lawyers in Rome. This murder is followed by a traffic accident at the other end of Rome and a suicide of a mafia boss in prison. But coincidences exist only in novels, says the chief police investigator. By examining the events behind the scenes, Pogodba, through juicy language, lively dialogues and unexpected plot twists takes the reader into the very heart of mafia activities. The detectives, prosecutors, journalists and politicians often share past connections. Their love affairs and friendships are interwoven with their professional duties, and the lines between where the state ends and the mafia begins, are very fuzzy.

FictionI am Nirvana. The story of Kurt Cobain
by Andrea Biscaro
Kurt è la rock star più famosa del pianeta. Ha appena ventisette anni, ma ha già vissuto tutto. Adesso è solo, lontano dai riflettori e dai palchi, senza amici, senza più voglia di scrivere e di suonare, blindato tra le pareti dorate della sua reggia di Seattle. Nella detonazione dello sparo Kurt rivive tutta la sua vita: l'infanzia ad Aberdeen, i locali, la nascita dei Nirvana, il primo contratto con la Sub Pop, la droga, il successo planetario e improvviso di Nevermind, il grunge, l'amore disperato per Courtney Love, la dipendenza dall'eroina, le tournée mondiali, la nascita di Frances Bean, In Utero, il policlinico di Roma, le disintossicazioni, Unplugged in New York. Fino a quel maledetto fucile Remington... A fargli immancabile compagnia è la voce di quell’amico misterioso al cui abbraccio mortale non saprà sfuggire.

HistoryApril 2016The Calling
Stories of Jesuits in the 16th and 17th Centuries
by Adriano Prosperi
This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.

The ArtsFamous Women
by Giovanni Boccaccio
De claris mulieribus is a collection of biographies of famous women of ancient and medieval times written by Giovanni Boccaccio in 1361. Boccaccio’s first aim was to offer, especially to his female readers, a collection of short and pleasant stories with lovely invitations to virtue and whipping remarks against vice. The work became very successful between the 14th and the 16th centuries, and was translated and published all around Europe. In some manuscripts the text is accompanied by a series of illustrations. For this edition, with a selection of thirty biographies of the most famous women from history, mythology and religion, the Ms. Royal 16 G.V. from the British Library in London has been chosen, a French manuscript from the second half of the 15th century, the miniatures of which, of exceptional elegance, set the happenings within the refined atmosphere of the transalpine court.

The ArtsA Bible in Ivory
Mediterranean art in 11th century Salerno
by Valentino Pace
In the late 11th century, one of the greatest historical and artistical times in Campania, in the South of Italy, a significant role was played in this sense by Alfano, the Archbishop of Salerno. He personally committed the episcopal throne inside the Cathedral, with the intention to catch the eye of anyone who entered as a symbol of the ultimate devotion. Of this work, with scenes from the Old and New Testament, only 67 ivory plaques still remain. The throne was realized in ivory, a precious material which can be considered inferior only to gold. Working with ivory required advanced skills from the artists, who had to know how to extract the thin layers from an elephant tusk before being able to delicately carve a scene. Possibly planned and executed for the Cathedral of Amalfi, it is the most extensive series of ivory panels to an artifact that predates the Gothic Era. They prove to be an artistic production that, due to the valuable nature of its material and the quality of its execution – not to mention the inherent interest of its narrative sequence –, is without comparison.

January 2019La città post-secolare
Il nuovo dibattito sulla secolarizzazione
by Paolo Costa
The secularization debate went through a big change during the last fifty years. Could this change be described as a paradigm shift? The volume, after an introduction that deeply analyses the “secularization” concept, picks up and discusses in eight chapters several exemplary figures in the recent debate (H. Blumenberg, D. Martin, C. Taylor, H. Joas, T. Asad, M. Gauchet, J. Habermas, G. Vattimo).Thus, the Author gives for the very first time, a systematic reconstruction of the changes and developments in this debate, ending in a real paradigm shift. The conclusion is however hesitant. It is unclear, Costa claims, whether this concept is still helpful to understand what is going on around us now and is in store for us in the near future. Winner of the Book Prize of the European Society for Catholic Theology (category: senior scholar)

Niente per lei
by Laura Mancini
An extraordinary debut, the story of a woman who fights through life like a gladiator in post-WWII Rome. It’s 1943—families are crowded and hungry. Tullia and her brothers are raised as slaves by their violent, furiously unhappy mother. Every evening she counts the money they were able to raise from the streets, and if it’s not enough, she beats them. Tullia is forced to grow up pretty fast, to work with her head down. But the way she sees the world is brave, curious, full of life. Her desperate will to survive, to make something different out of the misery of her life, is so powerful it’s impossible not to remain in awe of her strength, her dignity, and her relentless resilience. She leaves behind her abusive mother, but her majestic figure, her beauty, her clear intelligence, torment her as she becomes a woman and a mother, without ever learning how to be a daughter. She is lonely, but she’s not alone: fascinating, dirty, loud, hopeful, eternal Rome is a mother and a friend to Tullia who grows in its warm yet unforgiving embrace. Laura Mancini’s writing is transparent and imaginative, atmospheric. Reading Niente per lei is like watching history go by outside a window: it’s impossible not to see in it a blurred reflection of ourselves.
