Basilicata and Southern Italy Between Film and Ecology
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031135725 | 424 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 11 MB
This volume offers an open, transdisciplinary living space (also green) through which to explore the different connections between Basilicata and Southern Italy, cinema, and ecology, and thus to reflect on the different forms through which the historical, cultural, and social contexts of Southern Italian regions have been variously identified and represented. In order to explore these connections, the volume embraces a wide range of perspectives that may all be grouped under the key term film ecocriticism, offering the reader a thorough analysis not only of the different ways of representing reality but also of the processes of signification through which reality itself can be understood, rethought, and transformed. This is the general framework within which the authors consider film as a proper, effective medium for ecocritical and ecophilosophical reflections concerning not only Basilicata (to which the greater part of the volume is dedicated) but also Southern Italy and, therefore, its history and its territories, communities, and identities. Furthermore, in an even more general sense, Basilicata and Southern Italy reconnects with the very idea of the South, and of all Souths, to which this volume is dedicated.

Andrea Rapini, "A Social History of Administrative Science in Italy: Planning a State of Happiness from Liberalism to Fascism "
English | ISBN: 3031170466 | 2022 | 189 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book traces the origins, life and death of Administrative Science in Italy as an academic discipline between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It does so by combining the study of ideas, institutional history, intellectual history and social history. The Faculty of Law first introduced Administrative Science in 1875, with the aim of providing the elite with the necessary tools to distribute wealth more equally, to take care of the population and, thus, to make the young Italian State more legitimate in the eyes of the emerging masses. Law and social sciences were merged with the aim of increasing reforms, including that of creating a State of Happiness for all citizens. Throughout its 70-year existence, Administrative Science was deprived of its contents and scientific independence, and academically overshadowed by Administrative and Public law. Finally, although the liberal elites discarded the reformer project of Administrative Science even before Fascism turned everything upside down, most of the original traits of this knowledge were absorbed into Fascist corporate and totalitarian structures.

The Last Supper: A Summer in Italy (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B099T6R3GK | 2022 | 7 hours and 55 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 210 MB
Author: Rachel Cusk
Narrator: Antonia Beamish
A vivid and elegant account of a family's season abroad by one of our finest contemporary authors. Casting off a northern winter and an orderly life, a family decides to sell everything and go to Italy to search for art and its meanings, for freedom from routine, for a different path into the future. The award-winning writer Rachel Cusk describes a three-month journey around the Italy of Raphael and rented villas, of the Piero della Francesca Trail and the tourist furnace of Amalfi, of soccer and the simple glories of pasta and gelato. With her husband and two children, Cusk uncovers the mystery of a foreign language, the perils and pleasures of unbelonging, and the startling thrill of discovery - at once historic and intimate. Both sharp and humane in its exploration of the desire to travel and to escape, of art and its inspirations, of beauty and ugliness, and of the challenge of balancing domestic life with creativity, The Last Supper is an astonishing memoir.

Panagiotis Antonopoulos, "Early Peril Lost Faith: Italy between Byzantines and Lombards in the early years of the Lombard settlement, AD 568-608"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 365929229X | PDF | pages: 116 | 9.7 mb
This monograph deals with the first years of the Lombard presence in Italy (A.D. 568-608), when they had to fight their way against the Byzantines and accommodate themselves side by side with the Italian population. Armies, popes, officials, emperors and kings all had a role to play and they parade during the pages of the present book. The author considers all available data concerning the invasion of Italy by the Lombards, the Byzantine reaction, the involvement of the Franks, the role of popes and ecclesiastics as well as the personalities and conduct of Lombard kings and dukes. Its conclusion finds the Lombards firmly settled, the Byzantines ready to accept this fact and the popes gradually assessing greater control not only in the affairs of Italy but of the rest of western Europe as well.
