“L’uomo cammina con i piedi in terra e la testa per aria; e la storia di ciò che è accaduto sulla terra – la storia delle città, degli eserciti e di tutte quelle cose che hanno avuto corpo e forma – è solo una metà della storia dell’uomo.” L’altra metà è rappresentata proprio dall’utopia. “Utopia,” dice Lewis Mumford nella prefazione del 1922 a questo libro prezioso e insuperato, “può derivare dalla parola greca ‘eutopia’, che significa il buon posto, o dall’altra parola greca ‘outopia’, che significa nessun posto.” Ed è lo stesso Mumford a chiarire il contesto intellettuale da cui questo suo lavoro ha tratto origine: “Poco dopo la Prima guerra mondiale, vivevo ancora nel clima di speranza della generazione passata; ma mi rendevo conto che l’entusiasmo del grande Diciannovesimo secolo era giunto alla fine. Quando ho iniziato a esaminare storicamente le utopie, intendevo chiarire che cosa in esse fosse andato perduto e definire che cosa fosse ancora valido. Fin dal principio ero conscio di una virtù che era stata inspiegabilmente trascurata: le opere classiche degli utopisti trattavano sempre la società come un tutto unico e tenevano conto dei rapporti esistenti tra funzioni, istituzioni e fini dell’uomo. La nostra civiltà ha poi diviso la vita in compartimenti. Sono giunto dunque a considerare il pensiero utopista come l’opposto dello spirito unilaterale, partigiano, specialistico”. Di questo bisogno di scenari non angusti – che si ripropone oggi come un’esigenza forse troppo trascurata – discute l’introduzione di Franco Crespi, sull’inattuale attualità dell’utopia.

Utopia è una parola greca che si cercherebbe invano nei lessici del greco antico: come tutti sanno, la parola utopia è un conio moderno che risale alla geniale e fortunatissima intuizione di Thomas More. Eppure i greci antichi hanno pensato l’utopia: da Omero a Esiodo, da Aristofane a Platone a Luciano, i greci immaginano senza posa l’altrove, ciò che ancora non è e che si vorrebbe che fosse. Questo libro tenta di indagare in che termini questo processo di costruzione del possibile si è realizzato, partendo da Omero e giungendo fino ai primi secoli della nostra era.

The Red Brigades were a far-left terrorist group in Italy formed in 1970 and active all through the 1980s. Infamous around the world for a campaign of assassinations, kidnappings, and bank robberies intended as a "concentrated strike against the heart of the State," the Red Brigades' most notorious crime was the kidnapping and murder of Italy's former prime minister Aldo Moro in 1978. In the late 1990s, a new group of violent anticapitalist terrorists revived the name Red Brigades and killed a number of professors and government officials. Like their German counterparts in the Baader-Meinhof Group and today's violent political and religious extremists, the Red Brigades and their actions raise a host of questions about the motivations, ideologies, and mind-sets of people who commit horrific acts of violence in the name of a utopia. In the first English edition of a book that has won critical acclaim and major prizes in Italy, Alessandro Orsini contends that the dominant logic of the Red Brigades was essentially eschatological, focused on purifying a corrupt world through violence. Only through revolutionary terror, Brigadists believed, could humanity be saved from the putrefying effects of capitalism and imperialism. Through a careful study of all existing documentation produced by the Red Brigades and of all existing scholarship on the Red Brigades, Orsini reconstructs a worldview that can be as seductive as it is horrifying. Orsini has devised a micro-sociological theory that allows him to reconstruct the group dynamics leading to political homicide in extreme-left and neonazi terrorist groups. This "subversive-revolutionary feedback theory" states that the willingness to mete out and suffer death depends, in the last analysis, on how far the terrorist has been incorporated into the revolutionary sect. Orsini makes clear that this political-religious concept of historical development is central to understanding all such self-styled "purifiers of the world." From Thomas Müntzer's theocratic dream to Pol Pot's Cambodian revolution, all the violent "purifiers" of the world have a clear goal: to build a perfect society in which there will no longer be any sin and unhappiness and in which no opposition can be allowed to upset the universal harmony. Orsini’s book reconstructs the origins and evolution of a revolutionary tradition brought into our own times by the Red Brigades.

This book provides the first English study (comprehensive of introductory essays, translations, and notes) of five prominent Italian Renaissance utopias: Doni’s Wise and Crazy World, Patrizi’s The Happy City, and Zuccolo’s The Republic of Utopia, The Republic of Evandria, and The Happy City. The scholarship on Italian Renaissance utopias is still relatively underdeveloped; there is no English translation of these texts (apart from Campanella’s City of Sun), and our understanding of the distinctive features of this utopian tradition is rather limited. This book therefore fills an important gap in the existing critical literature, providing easier access to these utopian texts, and showing how the study of the utopias of Doni, Patrizi, and Zuccolo can shed crucial light on the scholarly debate about the essential traits of Renaissance utopias.

The Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is one of the most intriguing criminal phenomena in the world. It is an unparalleled organised criminal grouping that over almost two centuries has been able not only to successfully permeate licit and illicit economy, politics and civil society, but also to influence and exercise authoritative power over both the underworld and the upper-world. This criminal phenomenon has been a captivating conundrum for scholars of different disciplines who have tried to explain with various paradigms the reasons behind the emergence and consolidation of the mafia. Challenging the Mafia Mystique provides an analysis of the changes the Sicilian mafia has undergone, from legitimisation to denunciation. Rino Coluccello highlights how, from the very emergence of the organised criminal groups in Sicily, a culture existed that was protective and tolerant of the mafia. He argues that the various conceptualisations of the mafia that dominated the public and scientific debate in the nineteenth and more than half of the twentieth century created a mystique, which legitimised the mafia and contributed to their success. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of organised crime, Italian politics and Italian literature.

L’"Utopia" di Thomas More rappresenta a pieno titolo il prototipo moderno della letteratura utopistica e visionaria. Suddiviso in due parti, il libro è incentrato sul dialogo di More con Raffaele Itlodeo (“il chiacchierone”). Questi, gran viaggiatore, esordisce con la descrizione a tinte vive dell’Inghilterra dell’epoca. Il fenomeno delle recinzioni, dell’espropriazione delle terre comuni a opera della nobiltà terriera, aveva condotto sul lastrico vaste componenti della società inglese, soprattutto i contadini. Da lì l’aumento vertiginoso della criminalità, dei reati e dei furti. Ma è nella seconda parte che Itlodeo espone la sua ricetta per ovviare al malgoverno appena descritto: la repubblica di Utopia, una società in cui è abolita la proprietà privata e dove l’uso dei beni è concesso solo in base ai bisogni. Abolendo la proprietà privata viene annullata la ragione prima del furto, dando vita pertanto a una società molto meno violenta. È altresì abolito l’uso del denaro, perché le cose sono soppesate solo in base al loro valore d’uso e non per il loro valore di scambio. In una nuova traduzione, il libro che ispira in modo decisivo tutta la letteratura utopistica della nostra modernità, da Campanella a Rousseau, da Cabanis a Fourier, da Owen a Marx.
