È innegabile. Chi vive oggi, tra il XX e il XXI secolo, affronta più di un disagio nel rapportarsi alla morte. Lo spaesamento nella relazione con chi ha subìto una perdita, l’imbarazzo a visitare un amico morente, il terrore di arrivare alla fine della vita non autosufficienti sono tutti indizi del fragile rapporto tra noi e l’idea della morte. Marina Sozzi rilegge la ‘rarefazione’ della nostra cultura funebre alla luce delle categorie antropologiche, ne ricerca le ragioni storiche e indaga i modi in cui la società è comunque riuscita a far fronte al trauma della morte, chiamando in soccorso ‘supplenti’ d’emergenza: la medicina, che si è presa cura dei morenti negli ospedali, la psicoanalisi e la psicologia, che hanno costruito il paradigma del ‘lavoro del lutto’.

This collection is inspired by the idea of promoting human development in all its aspects and it presents perspectives, across the social sciences and humanities, on the journey human beings make to build and redefine their identity. It continues where the previous two volumes left off by deepening the natural conditions and human needs to respect man as he deserves and allow him to develop the potential that he contains.

Death is not only the final moment of life, it also casts a huge shadow on human society at large. People throughout time have had to cope with death as an existential experience, and this also, of course, in the premodern world. The contributors to the present volume examine the material and spiritual conditions of the culture of death, studying specific buildings and spaces, literary works and art objects, theatrical performances, and medical tracts from the early Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century. Death has always evoked fear, terror, and awe, it has puzzled and troubled people, forcing theologians and philosophers to respond and provide answers for questions that seem to evade real explanations. The more we learn about the culture of death, the more we can comprehend the culture of life. As this volume demonstrates, the approaches to death varied widely, also in the Middle Ages and the early modern age. This volume hence adds a significant number of new facets to the critical examination of this ever-present phenomenon of death, exploring poetic responses to the Black Death, types of execution of a female murderess, death as the springboard for major political changes, and death reflected in morality plays and art.

Human Development II offers an overview of a wide range of contemporary issues in education and society, including emotional intelligence; various models of education; family, leadership; experiential learning; personal development; recreational activities; the arts; philosophy; music; and media. These topics are all currently subject to research and debate, but have been prevalent throughout history, impacting on different fields, including education, communication, and health. It is vital to understand these topics in order to live in a society in which one must interact with other people and regulate one’s emotions. All the contributors to this volume investigate and discuss how these issues affect society in general, reflecting on the causes of the functioning of the world. All chapters in this book provide a full and clear frame of reference for several problems, issues and disciplines discussed here, offering professional and experienced insights from a range of disciplines including psychology and arts. As such, this book represents a highly useful and contemporary manual for both students and the general public interested in the social sciences.

In 1705-1706, during the War of the Spanish Succession and two years after a devastating earthquake, an ’epidemic’ of mysterious sudden deaths terrorized Rome. In early modern society, a sudden death was perceived as a mala mors because it threatened the victim’s salvation by hindering repentance and last confession. Special masses were celebrated to implore God’s clemency and Pope Clement XI ordered his personal physician, Giovanni Maria Lancisi, to perform a series of dissections in the university anatomical theatre in order to discover the 'true causes' of the deadly events. It was the first investigation of this kind ever to take place for a condition which was not contagious. The book that Lancisi published on this topic, De subitaneis mortibus (’On Sudden Deaths’, 1707), is one of the earliest modern scientific investigations of death; it was not only an accomplished example of mechanical philosophy as applied to the life sciences in eighteenth-century Europe, but also heralded a new pathological anatomy (traditionally associated with Giambattista Morgagni). Moreover, Lancisi’s tract and the whole affair of the sudden deaths in Rome marked a significant break in the traditional attitude towards dying, introducing a more active approach that would later develop into the practice of resuscitation medicine. Sudden Death explores how a new scientific interpretation of death and a new attitude towards dying first came into being, breaking free from the Hippocratic tradition, which regarded death as the obvious limit of physician’s capacity, and leading the way to a belief in the 'conquest of death' by medicine which remains in force to this day.

From generation to generation, people experience their landscapes differently. Humans depend on their natural environment: it shapes their behavior while it is often felt that deities responsible for both natural benefits and natural calamities (such as droughts, famines, floods and landslides) need to be appeased. We presume that, in many societies, lakes, rivers, rocks, mountains, caves and groves were considered sacred. Individual sites and entire landscapes are often associated with divine actions, mythical heroes and etiological myths. Throughout human history, people have also felt the need to monumentalize their sacred landscape. But this is where the similarities end as different societies had very different understandings, believes and practices. The aim of this new thematic appraisal is to scrutinize carefully our evidence and rethink our methodologies in a multi-disciplinary approach. More than 30 papers investigate diverse sacred landscapes from the Iberian peninsula and Britain in the west to China in the east. They discuss how to interpret the intricate web of ciphers and symbols in the landscape and how people might have experienced it. We see the role of performance, ritual, orality, textuality and memory in people’s sacred landscapes. A diachronic view allows us to study how landscapes were ‘rewritten’, adapted and redefined in the course of time to suit new cultural, political and religious understandings, not to mention the impact of urbanism on people’s understandings. A key question is how was the landscape manipulated, transformed and monumentalized – especially the colossal investments in monumental architecture we see in certain socio-historic contexts or the creation of an alternative humanmade, seemingly ‘non-natural’ landscape, with perfectly astronomically aligned buildings that define a cosmological order? Sacred Landscapes therefore aims to analyze the complex links between landscape, ‘religiosity’ and society, developing a dialectic framework that explores sacred landscapes across the ancient world in a dynamic, holistic, contextual and historical perspective.

The practice of body suspension — piercing one’s own flesh with metal hooks and hanging from them — and its uniquely sprawling community challenge our cultural understanding of pain. The suspendees experience physical suffering to trigger altered states of consciousness that help them define and create an enhanced version of the self. Through experimental and practice-based methodology, Beyond Pain combines thirteen years of intermittent ethnographical fieldwork during suspension festivals and private events in Italy, Portugal, and Norway, along with online sites such as Facebook groups, to uncover the often silenced and misunderstood voices of the people who undertake this practice.

Neuroethics is a recent field of study with an increasingly widening scope. More than any other, such a discipline could act as a central aggregator for the new knowledge on human beings that is emerging from contemporary neuroscience and its very relevant ethical, social and legal implications. This volume provides an updated overview of the theoretical perspectives and empirical research related to neuroethics. The eight chapters offer a cross-section of a lively debate that will surely serve as the focus of scientific, cultural, and political reflection in years to come.

Life, Death, and the Western Way of War traces when and how western soldiers--once regarded as simple fighting tools--became the far less expendable beings that we know today. In Kant's terms, the study traces the process through which soldiers have been turned from mere military means into ends in themselves. The book argues that such a major transformation is largely the result of a shift in the social meaning ascribed to soldiers' death. It suggests that looking at death can somehow provide a privileged angle to understanding the value that societies attach to life. The narrative emerging from the empirical evidence will show that the story of attitudes towards soldiers' death is the story of a gradual, increasing process of individualization in the social meaning attached to human loss in war. Such a development, which took centuries to emerge in full, was neither simple nor linear. It was a process that the state was temporarily able to frame in the collective narrative of the nation, but which ultimately has seen the increasing importance of the life of the individual soldier. In tracing the process through which soldiers have been turned from an amorphous collective into distinct individuals, this book shows how the emphasis on the primacy of the individual has further eroded the effectiveness of western warfare as an instrument of foreign policy. In particular, the modern, liberal conception of the soldier has had the unintended consequence of jeopardizing the Clausewitzian relationship between military means and political ends.

Nel passaggio al digitale il libro si trova a rimettere in discussione sia il suo ruolo di contenitore, sia le consolidate e rassicuranti interfacce che gli appartengono da secoli, tra cui la copertina. Guscio protettivo del contenuto, prima, strumento di marketing nelle librerie, poi, la copertina scomposta in bit e fagocitata dal Web e dai colossi della vendita online come Amazon e iBookstore, si trova a dover quasi giustificare la sua presenza in un ebook.Quale la sua funzione oggi? Che cosa ha perso e che cosa potrebbe guadagnare nei formati digitali? Quali requisiti dovrebbe avere una buona copertina per libri elettronici?Craig Mod prova a rispondere tracciando un affascinate percorso tra il senso passato e il valore futuro di quella che fino ad oggi è stata la faccia di un libro. Il risultato non è scontato e la fine della copertina non è segnata, anzi oggi più che mai è tempo di reinventarla. | Questo ebook è lungo 32.000 battute.
