Colour Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay

Colour Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay

Matteo de Leeuw-de Monti; Petra Timmer

Thames Hudson Ltd
2011
nidottu
Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in New York City, Colour Moves focuses not only on abstract painter and colourist Sonia Delaunay’s art but also her avant-garde fashion designs from her own Atelier Simultané in Paris during the 1920s as well as textiles she designed for the Metz & Co Department store in Amsterdam in the 1930s. Applying her talents and theories to all areas of visual expression, including graphics, interiors, theatre and film, fashion and textiles, a trademark of Delaunay’s work is the sense of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colours. The book features authoritative essays by Matilda McQuaid, Matteo de Leeuw-de Monti and Petra Timmer, accompanied by reproductions of over 250 of Delaunay’s paintings, drawings, textiles and garments with correlating designs, fashion illustrations and period photographs.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

Matteo Bandello

Aldila Press Pty Ltd
2024
pokkari
This is Romeo and Juliet as you've never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already written Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Matteo Bandello's stories had been translated into multiple languages across Europe before the doomed lovers inspired Shakespeare to create his world-famous play.In this edition, Bandello's original tale has been translated and formatted for the modern reader. In contrast to Shakespearean English, Bandello's beautiful writing has a clarity and directness through which we hear, as never before, the words a real Romeo and Juliet might have said to each other. The star-crossed lovers we know are there, just as in the play, but their troubles are set in a real Verona, that Bandello knew personally.As the tragedy unfolds to its bitter end, Bandello's heartrending story offers readers a more intimate experience of the anguish and joys that captured Shakespeare and an entire continent. Hidden for years in the ivory towers of scholarly study, Bandello's influential tale finds new life in Michael Curtotti's translation for students and lovers of literature alike.This is Romeo and Juliet as you've never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already written Romeo and Juliet.

A Joyfully Serious Man

A Joyfully Serious Man

Matteo Bortolini

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2021
sidottu
The brilliant but turbulent life of a public intellectual who transformed the social sciencesRobert Bellah (1927–2013) was one of the most influential social scientists of the twentieth century. Trained as a sociologist, he crossed disciplinary boundaries in pursuit of a greater comprehension of religion as both a cultural phenomenon and a way to fathom the depths of the human condition. A Joyfully Serious Man is the definitive biography of this towering figure in modern intellectual life, and a revelatory portrait of a man who led an adventurous yet turbulent life.Drawing on Bellah's personal papers as well as in-depth interviews with those who knew him, Matteo Bortolini tells the story of an extraordinary scholarly career and an eventful and tempestuous life. He describes Bellah's exile from the United States during the hysteria of the McCarthy years, his crushing personal tragedies, and his experiments with sexuality. Bellah understood religion as a mysterious human institution that brings together the scattered pieces of individual and collective experiences. Bortolini shows how Bellah championed intellectual openness and innovation through his relentless opposition to any notion of secularization as a decline of religion and his ideas about the enduring tensions between individualism and community in American society.Based on nearly two decades of research, A Joyfully Serious Man is a revelatory chronicle of a leading public intellectual who was both a transformative thinker and a restless, passionate seeker.

Beyond Regionalism?

Beyond Regionalism?

Matteo Legrenzi

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2008
sidottu
Regional cooperation, regionalism and regionalization in the Middle East are usually considered to be weak and rather ceremonial. However, since September 11, 2001, a new regional order is emerging and the impact of geostrategic changes in the international environment has yet to be satisfactorily studied. With older regional organizations suffering from weaknesses, new forms appear to be developing and flourishing, due either to European support or growing sub-regional identities. This volume offers refined theoretical models and approaches which are attuned to the new dynamics and contradictions of a wide range of regionalist projects in the contemporary Middle East. Case studies of the most important regional organizations in different policy fields offer comprehensive overviews of the main actors, institutions, historical development and current issues.

Risk Perception, Culture, and Legal Change

Risk Perception, Culture, and Legal Change

Matteo Ferrari

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
This study explores the reasons behind the different responses of the legal systems of Europe, Japan and the USA in coping with BSE, one of the major food safety crises in recent years. Making reference to the most recent advances on risk perception that cognitive and social sciences, such as legal anthropology and sociology of law, have experimented with, Risk Perception, Culture, and Legal Change examines the role that culture plays in moulding the process of legal change. Attention is focused on the regulative frameworks implemented to guarantee the safety of the food chain against the BSE menace and on the liability responses sketched to compensate the victims of mad cow disease, showing how both these elements have been influenced by the cultural context within which they are situated.

The ECOMAC project (Eco-management Accounting as a Tool of Environmental Man­ agement) has provided a framework for linking environmental management with man­ agement accounting. It was funded in Theme 4, 'Human Dimensions of Environmental Change' in the EU Environment and Climate Research Programme. The project is of high policy relevance by contributing to the on-going debate on eco­ management accounting, reporting and indicators. It is also an area needing further re­ search. I would like to thank the research team, companies that participated as associated con­ tractors, and the advisory panel. Jonathan Parker DG XII/D-5, European Commission Theme on Human Dimensions of Environmental Change 7 Preface The ECOMAC project This document is the final report on the project 'Eco-management accounting as a tool of environmental managemenf (ECOMAC). This research project was conducted under the Environment and Climate Programme (Human Dimension of Environmental Change) of the European Commission (DG XII). The ECOMAC project investigated how companies are using or intend to use environ­ mental costs and benefits figures in support of their decisions, and what they have been doing to remedy the limitations of conventional management accounting in this area. The research was largely explorative in nature, but the project also produced a structured overview of the subject and made suggestions and recommendations as to how compa­ nies could improve their own environmental accounting.

Playwriting Playgoers in Shakespeare's Theater

Playwriting Playgoers in Shakespeare's Theater

Matteo A. Pangallo

University of Pennsylvania Press
2017
sidottu
Among the dramatists who wrote for the professional playhouses of early modern London was a small group of writers who were neither members of the commercial theater industry writing to make a living nor aristocratic amateurs dipping their toes in theatrical waters for social or political prestige. Instead, they were largely working- and middle-class amateurs who had learned most of what they knew about drama from being members of the audience. Using a range of familiar and lesser-known print and manuscript plays, as well as literary accounts and documentary evidence, Playwriting Playgoers in Shakespeare's Theater shows how these playgoers wrote and revised to address what they assumed to be the needs of actors, readers, and the Master of the Revels; how they understood playhouse materials and practices; and how they crafted poetry for theatrical effects. The book also situates them in the context of the period's concepts of, and attitudes toward, playgoers' participation in the activity of playmaking. Plays by playgoers such as the rogue East India Company clerk Walter Mountfort or the highwayman John Clavell invite us into the creative imaginations of spectators, revealing what certain audience members wanted to see and how they thought actors might stage it. By reading Shakespeare's theater through these playgoers' works, Matteo Pangallo contributes a new category of evidence to our understanding of the relationships between the early modern stage, its plays, and its audiences. More broadly, he shows how the rise of England's first commercialized culture industry also gave rise to the first generation of participatory consumers and their attempts to engage with mainstream culture by writing early modern "fan fiction."

Christian Monks on Chinese Soil

Christian Monks on Chinese Soil

Matteo Nicolini-Zani

Liturgical Press
2016
pokkari
The contribution of monks to the evangelization of lands not yet reached by the preaching of the Gospel has certainly been remarkable. The specific witness that the monastic community gives is of a radical Christian life naturally radiating outward, and thus it is implicitly missionary. The process of inculturation of Christian monasticism in China required a bold spiritual attitude of openness to the future and a willingness to accept the transformation of monastic forms that had been received. In "Christian Monks on Chinese Soil," Matteo Nicolini-Zani highlights the willingness of foreign monks to encounter the cultural and spiritual realities of China and the degree of acceptance by the Chinese of the form of monastic life that was presented to them by the missionaries.

Ethnic Politics in Post-Soviet Central Asia

Ethnic Politics in Post-Soviet Central Asia

Matteo Fumagalli

CRC Press Inc
2024
sidottu
The Soviet collapse left about seventy million people, one in four former Soviet citizens, stranded outside of the borders of new states where the majority of their ethnic kins lived. To the surprise of many outside observers, the Central Asian region has escaped the conflicts in which many predicted it would descend in the early 1990s. At the same time it has not been violence-free, as the conflict between groups of Uzbeks and Kyrgyz in Osh, Kyrgyzstan in 2010, Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, the on-going war in the Donbass, and the clashes between Armenians and Azeris over Nagorno-Karabakh in the Spring of 2016 have shown.The book explores how, and to what extent, Central Asia’s ethnic minorities have adjusted to being "at home abroad" nearly three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It finds that minority groups have alternated between ‘exit’ (from the political system), ‘loyalty’ (participation in it and support for the leadership), and ‘voice’ (contentious politics). In this book, the case of Uzbek minorities living outside of Uzbekistan serves as a vantage point to reflect on questions of cultural and political loyalties, contentious politics, and the relationship between identity and political action. Uzbeks represent the largest non-Russian minority group in Central Asia. They are compactly settled around Uzbekistan’s borders, to this day still contested and often un-demarcated. The relations between Uzbekistan and its neighbours are overall poor, especially with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. For reasons of size, military strength or regional ambitions, the stability of Uzbekistan, and what lies around it, is seen as central to the stability of the whole Central Asian region. The book offers new empirical data and shows that there has been a gradual political, cultural, and economic disenfranchisement of Central Asia’s minority groups in states that are ruled by a narrow circle of elites in weak – yet resilient - states, whose legitimacy is increasingly eroded and that in their attempts to boost such legitimacy and authority they promote ethnic nationalism. It will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience, including academics working in the field of minority rights and ethnic politics in the post-Soviet space, contentious politics, identity formation and irredentism, separatism and diasporas.

Alternative Remittance Systems and Terrorism Financing

Alternative Remittance Systems and Terrorism Financing

Matteo Vaccani

World Bank Publications
2009
nidottu
Governments, through their regulatory bodies, typically regulate formal financial sector players such as banks, which can leave providers working in informal remittance systems outside regulatory channels. Value transfer services--financial transfers performed domestically or across borders on behalf of clients--are essential to the financial system, and as such, are often offered by both formal and informal actors. Law enforcement and counter-terrorism authorities are evaluating money and value transmission channels for vulnerabilities that may make these channels attractive for illicit use, including the financing of terrorism. Alternative Remittance Systems and Terrorism Financing: Issues in Risk Management aims to help countries bring these informal alternative remittance systems into their counter-terrorism programs, without hindering the ability of those who depend on these systems to send and receive money at low cost.

In 1553 Michael Servetus, author of several notorious heretical works, escaped from the Inquisition in France only to fall into the hands of the Protestant authorities in Geneva. There he was tried, found guilty of heresy, and burned at the stake.Four hundred years later, in 1953, a mysterious manuscript entitled "Declarationis Jesu Christi Filii Dei Authore Michaele Serveto" (A Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, by Michael Servetus) was discovered in an archive in Stuttgart, Germany. Could this be a lost work by Servetus?In this book, Peter Hughes and Peter Zerner explain how, in the course of translating Declaratio, they discovered that it is the work of Matteo Gribaldi, a well-known Italian law professor, antitrinitarian, and admirer of Servetus.The book contains complete Latin and English texts of Declaratio and five shorter works by Gribaldi, including Apologia, his powerful and moving protest against the execution of Servetus.
