La modernità è un topos fondamentale della cultura occidentale, e in particolare è una categoria fondativa per la configurazione del continente americano e del suo rapporto con l’Europa; e al legame fra le Americhe e la modernità sono dedicati gli interventi raccolti in questo volume. Il saggio introduttivo è dedicato all’esplicitazione del rapporto fra modernità e modernismo, fra dimensione sociale e culturale, fra teoria e storia. Il volume è poi dedicato a una riflessione multidisciplinare su questo snodo teorico così essenziale, che permette di interpretare il Novecento americano sotto nuove prospettive. In particolare, è affrontato il rapporto fra urbanistica, urbanizzazione, cinema e modernità, attraverso saggi con prospettive teoriche diverse e casi di studio provenienti dall’intero continente. Si prosegue poi nella riflessione fra teoria, politica ed estetica, andando a considerare il rapporto fra modernità e linguaggi letterari e cinematografici. Infine, il volume si concentra sulla dimensione più prettamente filosofica, non dimenticando di fare riferimento anche alla complessità degli scenari geoeconomici della globalizzazione.

This study assesses the significance of Pinocchio in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in addition to his status as the creature of a nineteenth century traversed by a cultural enthusiasm for dummies, puppets, and marionettes. This collection identifies him as a figure characterized by a 'fluid identity,' informed with transition, difference, joie de vivre, otherness, displacement, and metamorphosis, making Pinocchio a truly modern, indeed postmodern and posthuman, cultural icon. Pinocchio, Puppets and Modernity explores this crucial and as yet little visited field, reassessing Pinocchio's genealogy and progeny, as well as illuminating both the wider context and more specific cultural manifestations of the mechanical-human interface in the domains of theatre, the fine arts, literature, radio, and even virtual reality coherently with the digital metamorphosis of our times. The wide-ranging scope of this exploration encompasses Italian, French, and English literature, dummies and marionettes in modernist and contemporary theatre, the fairytale tradition, and traditional and contemporary painting, as well as the older and newer media of radio, television, cinema, and the Internet. The diverse, comparative, and multimedia focus of this original discussion testifies to the enduring transcultural legacy of Pinocchio. Eminently sellable as a traditional cultural icon, Pinocchio is equally impactful and relevant for a globalized, multicultural, and virtual society, from Collodi to Disney and beyond. Katia Pizzi is Senior Lecturer in Italian at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. She has published volumes on cultural identities, including A City in Search of an Author (2001) and The Cultural Identities of European Cities (2010), and on children's literature and illustration.

It is commonly assumed that there is an enduring link between individuals and their countries of citizenship. Plural citizenship is therefore viewed with skepticism, if not outright suspicion. But the effects of widespread global migration belie common assumptions, and the connection between individuals and the countries in which they live cannot always be so easily mapped. In The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martín analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dynamics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.

S.N. Eisenstadt è stato uno dei più importanti studiosi della modernità. In questo libro ha esplorato il contesto delle Grandi Rivoluzioni Moderne dal punto di vista delle civiltà e della loro storia, analizzando le caratteristiche specifiche delle rivoluzioni e delle loro relazioni con la modernità; le cause e i modelli del loro sviluppo; i nuovi programmi culturali e politici da esse scaturiti, ovvero il programma culturale e politico della modernità; l'istituzionalizzazione di tale programma e la rilevanza dei simboli e dei movimenti rivoluzionari nei vari contesti delle civiltà moderne; i tratti caratteristici delle rivoluzioni, distinguendole da altri processi di mutamento macro-societario, e soprattutto da altre forme di rovesciamento dei regimi politici; le caratteristiche peculiari delle ideologie e dei processi di lotta e mobilitazione sociale e politica avvenuti nel contesto delle rivoluzioni; le "cause" delle rivoluzioni e l'ampia letteratura su questo argomento; gli esiti delle rivoluzioni, e soprattutto la relazione tra rivoluzioni e modernizzazione, cioè la cristallizzazione della civiltà moderna.

After years of obscurity, Anna Maria Ortese (1914–1998) is emerging as one of the most important Italian authors of the twentieth-century, taking her place alongside such luminaries as Italo Calvino, Primo Levi, and Elsa Morante. Anna Maria Ortese: Celestial Geographies features a selection of essays by established Ortese scholars that trace her remarkable creative trajectory. Bringing a wide range of critical perspectives to Ortese’s work, the contributors to this collection map the author’s complex textual geography, with its overlapping literary genres, forms, and conceptual categories, and the rhetorical and narrative strategies that pervade Ortese’s many types of writing. The essays are complemented by material translated here for the first time: Ortese’s unpublished letters to her mentor, the writer Massimo Bontempelli; and an extended interview with Ortese by fellow Italian novelist Dacia Maraini.

Umano, postumano, transumano, antropocene, animalità, relazione mente-corpo, intelligenza artificiale, diritti umani e inclusione, humanitas e umanesimo: queste le aree tematiche di indagine dei saggi che compongono il secondo dei due volumi di Humanity. L’analisi che ne de- riva fotografa un’umanità che – dalla modernità alla con- temporaneità – si trova in continuo transito tra paradigmi perduti e nuove traiettorie. Le attuali emergenze umanitarie, i frequenti disastri ambientali, le non più avveniristiche ibridazioni tra umano e tecnica impongono un costante e rinnovato ripensamento delle condizioni e dei limiti a cui è esposta la nostra esistenza. La riflessione filosofica ed etico-politica sull’umano si situa, oggi, in una complessa e articolata scena di mondo: qui essa incontra il versante dell’arte o, più in generale, dell’estetico. Proprio risalendo alle origini del moderno, si possono trarre spunti per un rilancio critico del progetto umano, di un nuovo umanesimo finalmente depurato da retaggi ideo- logici e ipoteche metafisiche.

A wide-ranging and challenging exploration of design and how it engages with the self The field of design has radically expanded. As a practice, design is no longer limited to the world of material objects but rather extends from carefully crafted individual styles and online identities to the surrounding galaxies of personal devices, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems, infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms, and genetic codes. Superhumanity seeks to explore and challenge our understanding of “design” by engaging with and departing from the concept of the “self.” This volume brings together more than fifty essays by leading scientists, artists, architects, designers, philosophers, historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, originally disseminated online via e-flux Architecture between September 2016 and February 2017 on the invitation of the Third Istanbul Design Biennial. Probing the idea that we are and always have been continuously reshaped by the artifacts we shape, this book asks: Who designed the lives we live today? What are the forms of life we inhabit, and what new forms are currently being designed? Where are the sites, and what are the techniques, to design others? This vital and far-reaching collection of essays and images seeks to explore and reflect on the ways in which both the concept and practice of design are operative well beyond tangible objects, expanding into the depths of self and forms of life.
