One can find translations into English, for example, of SF novels and anthologies written in Romanian, Czech, Chinese, Finnish, Serbian, Ukrainian, but none in Italian. It has been consigned by SF scholars to the “ghetto of the ghetto.” Yet, Italy has been producing SF since the 1950s, some of it quite exceptional— notable for its “humanistic” bent, both in the sense of its intensive focus on human realities in a changing world, and in its use of the humanities, that is, its prominent references to a vast canon of literature, philosophy, religious writing, and fantastic imaginings. The infamous pronouncement in the late 1960s or early 1970s by Carlo Fruttero, the editor of the major Italian SF serial “Urania,” when asked why they rarely if ever included works by Italian authors—“it is impossible to imagine a flying saucer landing in Lucca”—was a curious sort of selective blindness shared by much of Italy and, consequently, by the rest of the world. Flying saucers have been landing in Lucca (although they seem to prefer to hover around Milan, Rome, Venice, Bologna, and Turin) for quite some time, and many of their crafts are magnificent, deserving of recognition and study.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Science Fiction" }, { "word": "Science and Literature" }, { "word": "Twentieth century" }, { "word": "Italian Literature" }, { "word": "Modern Literature" } ], "section": "III.

More specifically, at the margins of an already existing hypothetical historical-realist narrative block, heterodoxical narrative expressions were coming into being. These were often populated by physically dismembered and psychologically multi-faced ‘in-between’ characters, who were traditionally depicted through Northern European forms of the Gothic and fantastic, until the leading members of the first Italian avant-garde movement, the Milanese Scapigliatura, transplanted their interpreations of the story of Italian national unification into their short stories and novels.\n \nIn the texts analyzed, the use of the typically Gothic and fantastic motifs of the uninhabited house (or habited by ghosts) and the feminine body, both in its phenomenology of the mother, nurse and spouse, and in that of the faithless, fallen and sick woman, function as metaphors to portray the shape of the national body. By looking at the representations of the house, the female body and marriage, this article demonstrates how the heroines of the post-unification novels \nFosca\n (1869) by Iginio Ugo Tarchetti and \nSenso\n (1883) by Camillo Boito understand and construct their corporeality as the epistemological locus where the ethical ambivalence towards the disappointing outcomes of national unification could be expressed. Therefore, the Gothic with its instances of social subversion embodied in the heroines in the castle, and the fantastic with its ontology of ‘hesitation’ and of the fragmented and divided body could offer the ideal narrative solution for portraying the failure of Italy’s palingenetic re-birth during the Risorgimento.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Arts and Humanities" }, { "word": "Italian Language and Literature" }, { "word": "Italian Literature" } ], "section": "B.

This essay proposes a contrapuntal reading between two historical moments and two directions of Italian migrations.

This essay then shows how Lakhous reprises Orientalism’s practice of representation by updating the powerful nineteenth- century metaphor of the Orient as “a theatrical stage affixed to Europe” (in Edward Said’s fortunate phrase). Among the particularly rich repertoire of plays upon that stage was the practice of passing and posing as Muslim in order to enter the sacred space of Mecca, prohibited to Christians upon threat of death. In its nineteenth-century version, such passing was the sign of the extraordinary man, alone at Mecca among a sea of authentic, and supposedly “transparent” believers. Lakhous, instead, takes up the topos in order to generalize it as the condition of post-colonial Italian identities, whether “migrant” or “\nitaliano doc,\n” as the novel calls them: “\nun italiano al cento percento, un italianissimo\n” The theme and possibility of conversion to Islam links the two historical moments in an embrace that conjures with Islamophobia, the historical malleability of a weak national identity in the Mediterranean, and the frisson of entry into a forbidden space in a disguise that is in equal measure linguistic and semiotic.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Orientalism" }, { "word": "transnational migration" }, { "word": "Giovanni Finati" }, { "word": "Amara Lakhous" }, { "word": "Passing" }, { "word": "Posing" }, { "word": "Italian Language and Literature" }, { "word": "Ethnic, Cultural Minority, Gender, and Group Studies" } ], "section": "III.

In this article, Pasolini wonders whether the novel is still a contemporary literary form or if it is rather something which belongs to the past. He concludes that, as long as the real retains its novelistic structure, the novel will not become outdated.\n \nBut why did Pasolini pose the question of the novelistic in such a time in Italian history? Pasolini was compelled by the understanding that the bourgeois consumerism dominating Italy in the 1960s tended to eliminate the novelistic from reality, forcing pre-molded destinies upon the lives of the people. It is this very homologation that puts the novel at risk: If lives are no longer novelistic, then the novel cannot be the literary device which can best tell their stories.\n \nYet, can those who write years after “Piazza Fontana” still agree with Pasolini’s historical-narratological thesis regarding the obsoleteness of the novel? After the discovery of State terrorism, can we still believe that the bourgeois State enforces its dominion over the present by inducing an ordered standardization and repressing the novelistic structure of the real?\n \nThe spectacular series of detonations which bloodied a winter market day forces us to admit that the “Italian boom” ultimately led not to the triumph of order, but to a chaos that was all too novelistic. The Italy born out of Christmas ’69, the Italy of the 1970s, must then be understood as a noir, viscous as oil and populated by a multitude of characters worthy of the best crime novels.\n \nBut if Italy truly is all of this, it would be a matter of denouncing the epos of a new governmental monster: a monster whose threat lies not in repressing the novelistic and producing disciplined uniformity, but in using lives and events that are strategically novelized to annihilate any possibility of resistance. A monster, therefore, with a “literary \ncôté\n.”\n \nIn this article, I argue that Giancarlo De Cataldo’s \nRomanzo criminale\n is one of the most ambitious attempts to denounce exactly such a new governmental literary monster. Novelizing the deeds of the Magliana Gang – from its seizing power in the 1970s to its withering in the 1980s – is, for De Cataldo, an opportunity to chart the State’s strategies to ward off any radical change and keep Italy stuck at the gates of history.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Pasolini" }, { "word": "De Cataldo" }, { "word": "Biopolitics" }, { "word": "New Italian Epic" }, { "word": "Strategy of Tension" }, { "word": "novel" }, { "word": "Deleuze" }, { "word": "Societies of Control" }, { "word": "Foucault" }, { "word": "Comparative Literature" }, { "word": "Continental Philosophy" }, { "word": "Italian Literature" }, { "word": "Modern Literature" }, { "word": "History" } ], "section": "III.

Here Pinocchio reflects the open contradiction between the rhetorical fullness of the national project, with its ethic of sacrifice and deferral of satisfaction, and the economic lack of the masses--what Marcuse called Lebensnot--that, through the affirmation of an immediate exigency for fulfillment, project the vision of a different society.

The “ensemble” descriptor used for the visualization technologies on which we currently depend to chart the neuronal firing in the human brain is also an apt term for an additional translational issue between structure and what one might call the philosophical domain. The most carefully established data of brain activity is empirically confirmable on the micro level. Moving from it to the so-called “higher order” or more complex issues of meaning and use by humans, not least in cultural life, requires in effect a translation from micro evidence to ensemble evidence. Within the neurosciences, such translational processes are objects of seduction and suspicion at once. Yet an “ensemble” principle is not only active in brain mapping evidence, but in the “single brain” to “social brain” evidence field for neural mirroring. The brain in isolation represents only a slice of the field of the dialogic brain, the brain performing social cognition of others, the brain bringing the other’s existence into the individual’s embodied space through the individual’s internal simulation. This essay moves from the concept of the social brain to the suggestion of an ontological priority of representation in the mirror neuron paradigm. Is literature itself a relative of brain mirroring processes, and thus a form of biomimesis?

The image of Berlusconi as Italy’s political leader is often seen by commentators as much more positive at home than it has been abroad. Some well known foreign media, for example, have been much more consistently negative about Berlusconi’s dual role as media baron and political leader than have domestic media (and considerable public opinion) in Italy. If so, then Berlusconi’s exit from a central position in Italian politics may create external relief that he is gone and improved regard for Italy as a whole but at the expense of a huge “hole” that his absence may create domestically. On close analysis, however, The presumed gap between views of Berlusconi at “home” and “abroad” looks smaller, however, than conventional wisdom would suggest. At least over the recent course of his political career, he has stimulated a similar range of increasingly attitudinal negative responses both in Italy and elsewhere, although with variations over time everywhere and from place to place outside of Italy. These responses are increasingly negative, both at home and abroad. Berlusconi’s reputation is very much related to popular perceptions of his practical successes and failures as a leader and to what sort of leader he has actually been. It is not simply the result of a “battle” of media images without substantive content. This is encouraging news for those looking towards a future in which Italian politics will be less dominated by popular media such as television and its presumed manipulation of a totally pliant electorate.

Installation in the museum thus produces a transmedia memory, which simultaneously criticizes the televisual reality effect as well as Italian progressive representations of the Albanian migrant as a screen onto which Italians can project their own history of emigration, as is the case with Oliviero Toscani’s advertising campaign Boat for Benetton (1992) and Gianni Amelio’s feature film \nLamerica \n(1994).

Dematerialized and displaced, garbage becomes a powerful metaphor for the invisible ties connecting the mafia to regular business. Rather than insisting on the irreducibility of waste as a visible sign of the persistently violent presence of camorra in southern Italy, Garrone’s film highlights its commoditization and trains the viewer to look at waste through contemporary camorra’s eyes. In this perspective, mafia ceases to be the irreducible other, a localized phenomenon residing at the margins of “law abiding” Italy, and is presented as an intrinsic constituent of global capitalism. In addition to demonstrating the displacement of refuse from the screen and the blurring of distinctions between legal and illegal business transactions, the article suggests that Garrone’s specific representation of waste management also offers a space of resistance in a film that implicates spectators in contemporary organized crime. By applying the relational notion of waste introduced by Guy Hawkins in \nThe Ethics of Waste\n to an analysis of the garbage “stakeholders” in Gomorra, the author demonstrates how the unethical behavior of the protagonist is an example of the self-determination typical of late modernity, further exemplified in the film by the boys who model their actions after \nScarface\n. The analysis also shows how an ethical choice is presented as possible and offered to the implicated viewers as the only space of resistance in the movie.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "representations of organized crime in film" }, { "word": "waste management in film" }, { "word": "Gomorra" }, { "word": "Comparative Literature" }, { "word": "Film/Cinema/Video Studies" }, { "word": "Other Italian Language and Literature" } ], "section": "III.

These evolutions highlight the ability of the protagonist to represent Barcelona as its mask – an identity marker that resets the guidelines that condition interpersonal interaction – over time. By applying the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, the author argues that masking at various textual levels allows the image of Barcelona to be a Thirdspace of possibility in which the characters are able to achieve liberty and resolution, rather than merely an unchanging city brimming with social injustices.

The works of Henri Lefebvre, Edward Soja, and David Harvey provide the theoretical framework that structures my analysis, especially Soja’s concept of \nThirdspace\n (1996). I propose that as \nCosmofobia\n creates a macro-view of the social space of Lavapiés, the novel realizes Soja’s Thirdspace as an interactive and intercultural space. This analysis also draws on recent works in the fields of urban, race and cosmopolitan/multicultural studies that contribute to a better understanding of the treatment of the cosmopolitan city within contemporary novels.

Drawing on the work of Saskia Sassen, it argues that the “worlding” of this once provincial capital city produced an unequal landscape that failed to substantively alter the urban experience. Urban planning remade the city as a site for global, networked commerce, privileging an urban spectacle that occluded and masked some of the unequal dimensions of late 20th century Spain.

He suggested that if “planning is everything, maybe it is nothing.” This view exemplifies a debate common to many disciplines over what constitutes core theory and practice.\n \nHowever, such debates are particularly important for inter-disciplinary professions such as planning. This essay argues that, for the planning profession, infrastructure is the organizational backbone around which basic principles, technical methods, professional norms, and even research are expressed.

Ambitions were high; the Garden Valley, as the project was christened, was to be a modern, clean, mixed-use, racially and economically integrated community that would be a “model neighborhood for all of Cleveland.” The ambitions belied the setting, for the project was planned for a decidedly inauspicious location: Kingsbury Run, a dangerous, disreputable, polluted gully that had been the site of the dirtiest industrial facilities, Depression-era shantytowns, and an infamous series of murders. The young planner was Allan Jacobs, now a figure of great renown in city planning for his public, academic, writing, and consulting careers. Jacobs is currently professor emeritus in the De- partment of City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. Based on his work developing an overall plan for the Kingsbury Run site, hundreds of new publicly and privately owned apartment units would be constructed in a garden-like setting, providing housing for thou- sands of low- and middle-income Clevelanders. Yet within just two years of the first units’ construction the Garden Valley was already considered run- down and undesirable, a reputation that would grow and deepen with time, a reputation the area has struggled with ever since.

Likewise, historic architectural studies examine the importance that buildings have in relation to their adornments, their design motifs, and their artists or architects who created them. This analysis challenges these values and associations through an evaluation of historically black college and university campuses (HBCU’s) and “segregated public schools” of the Southern United States. Through a review of literature on court cases about school segregation and an examination of built environments, this article suggests that architectural and landscape studies are important in conveying notions of inferiority and tradition that were used in segregation cases across the United States.

Just as elevators will enable people to move freely within buildings, this system will enable customers to reach the superstores for free from the outside world.\n \nAnalysis confirms that this new concept has the potential to stimulate public transport demand. However, three issues need further consideration. First, private businesses may access transportation, financial, and even property data of travelers, which may threaten their privacy. This paper proposes a concept that would prevent such a system failure. Second, small businesses could be discriminated against on the grounds that the turnover they produce does not suffice to bear the cost of running virtual elevators. The study highlights the conditions in which local authorities may require leading businesses to cooperate with smaller ones. Eventually, since virtual elevators may rely upon state transport subsidies while following private commercial profit objectives, the paper also stresses in what matters states and local authorities should require commitments from private partners. The conclusion underscores the importance of public authorities’ involvement from the earliest steps of devel- opment of the system until and during operation.

The analyses focus on a middle and elementary school in each community and compare the spatial relationships between schools and sit-down and fast food restaurants and between grocery and convenience stores.

Results suggest that food quality varies across neighborhoods by income, but not by walkability.
