2017
pokkari
E'una raccolta di componimenti pi o meno poetici che nascono dalla passione dell'autrice per gli acrostici: un gioco enigmistico che consiste nel trovare un certo numero di parole le cui lettere iniziali formino a loro volta una parola o una frase di senso compiuto. Il libro suddiviso in due sezioni e racconta eventi spesso dolorosi accaduti negli ultimi anni: la prima parte ospita avvenimenti accaduti nel mondo, la seconda crimini e delitti soprattutto di casa nostra.

Nel 1928, l'urbanista Virgilio Testa, ipotizz un progetto di un "quartiere lineare" che comportava la realizzazione di nuovi nuclei abitativi tra Roma ed il mare, lungo la direttrice della ferrovia Roma Lido, immaginando Ostia come "il nuovo rione marino della metropoli futura."

In questo libro affronteremo un viaggio alla scoperta dei quartieri che si estendono dalle Mura Aureliane al mare di Ostia tra storia, arte, cultura, toponomastica e stuzzicanti curiosit . Giunti ad Ostia, affronteremo un altro viaggio, quello nella storia e nell'evoluzione del quartiere lidense nel secolo scorso attraverso le testimonianze dei residenti.

pokkari
La storia di una ragazza che si annoia, odia il suo lavoro, detesta il suo aspetto fisico e cammina sul rasoio affilato della bulimia.Al limite della depressione, riscopre la voglia di mettersi in discussione grazie ad un sentimento travolgente: l'amore per il suo professore. Da questo momento cominciano le peripezie per la "conquista"di quest'uomo quasi irragiungibile, ed a tratti sfuggente. Meticolosa come un agente della CIA, la ragazza prepara piani, sotterfugi, tattiche per riuscire a sedurre l'insegnante. Tuttavia, raggiungere il suo obiettivo perder? la sua intrinseca importanza, perch? sar? proprio l'amore a risvegliarla dal torpore in cui era sprofondata. Una storia apparentemente semplice ma che, come una favola zen, ci indica una strada da seguire se non verso la felicit?, almeno per la magica riscoperta di quanto diamo per scontato, senza fermarsi a riflettere sui nostri ripetuti "non ho."

Choreographies of African Identities

Choreographies of African Identities

Francesca Castaldi

University of Illinois Press
2006
nidottu
Choreographies of African Identities traces interconnected interpretative frameworks around and about the National Ballet of Senegal. Using the metaphor of a dancing circle Castaldi's arguments cover the full spectrum of performance, from production to circulation and reception. Castaldi first situates the reader in a North American theater, focusing on the relationship between dancers and audiences as that between black performers and white spectators. She then examines the work of the National Ballet in relation to Léopold Sédar Senghor's Négritude ideology and cultural politics. Finally, the author addresses the circulation of dances in the streets, discotheques, and courtyards of Dakar, drawing attention to women dancers' occupation of the urban landscape.

The Architecture of Error

The Architecture of Error

Francesca Hughes

MIT Press
2014
pokkari
Why the rise of redundant precision in architecture and the accompanying fear of error are key to understanding the discipline's needs, anxieties and desires.When architects draw even brick walls to six decimal places with software designed to cut lenses, it is clear that the logic that once organized relations between precision and material error in construction has unraveled. Precision, already a promiscuous term, seems now to have been uncoupled from its contract with truthfulness. Meanwhile error, and the always-political space of its dissent, has reconfigured itself.In The Architecture of Error Francesca Hughes argues that behind the architect's acute fetishization of redundant precision lies a special fear of physical error. What if we were to consider the pivotal cultural and technological transformations of modernism to have been driven not so much by the causes its narratives declare, she asks, as by an unspoken horror of loss of control over error, material life, and everything that matter stands for? Hughes traces the rising intolerance of material vagaries-from the removal of ornament to digitalized fabrication-that produced the blind rejection of organic materials, the proliferation of material testing, and the rhetorical obstacles that blighted cybernetics. Why is it, she asks, that the more we cornered physical error, the more we feared it?Hughes's analysis of redundant precision exposes an architecture of fear whose politics must be called into question. Proposing error as a new category for architectural thought, Hughes draws on other disciplines and practices that have interrogated precision and failure, citing the work of scientists Nancy Cartwright and Evelyn Fox Keller and visual artists Gordon Matta-Clark, Barbara Hepworth, Rachel Whiteread, and others. These non-architect practitioners, she argues, show that error need not be excluded and precision can be made accountable.

Bulldozer

Bulldozer

Francesca Russello Ammon

Yale University Press
2016
sidottu
The first history of the bulldozer and its transformation from military weapon to essential tool for creating the post–World War II American landscape Although the decades following World War II stand out as an era of rapid growth and construction in the United States, those years were equally significant for large-scale destruction. In order to clear space for new suburban tract housing, an ambitious system of interstate highways, and extensive urban renewal development, wrecking companies demolished buildings while earthmoving contractors leveled land at an unprecedented pace and scale. In this pioneering history, Francesca Russello Ammon explores how postwar America came to equate this destruction with progress. The bulldozer functioned as both the means and the metaphor for this work. As the machine transformed from a wartime weapon into an instrument of postwar planning, it helped realize a landscape-altering “culture of clearance.” In the hands of the military, planners, politicians, engineers, construction workers, and even children’s book authors, the bulldozer became an American icon. Yet social and environmental injustices emerged as clearance projects continued unabated. This awareness spurred environmental, preservationist, and citizen participation efforts that have helped to slow, though not entirely stop, the momentum of the postwar bulldozer.

The Propagandists' Playbook

The Propagandists' Playbook

Francesca Bolla Tripodi

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
sidottu
An examination of what algorithmic polarization means for society and how conservative elites use media literacy tactics to spread propagandaThe Propagandists’ Playbook peels back the layers of the right-wing media manipulation machine to reveal why its strategies are so effective and pervasive, while also humanizing the people whose worldviews and media practices conservatism embodies. Based on interviews and ethnographic observations of two Republican groups over the course of the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial race—including the author’s firsthand experience of the 2017 Unite the Right rally—the book considers how Google algorithms, YouTube playlists, pundits, and politicians can manipulate audiences, reaffirm beliefs, and expose audiences to more extremist ideas, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Francesca Tripodi argues that conservatives who embody the Christian worldview give authoritative weight to original texts and interrogate the media using the same tools taught to them in Bible study—for example, using Google to “fact check” the news. The result of this practice, tied to conservative marketing tactics, is more than a reaffirmation of existing beliefs: it is a radicalization of content and a changing of narratives adopted by the media. Tripodi also demonstrates the pervasiveness of white supremacy in the conservative media ecosystem, as well as its mainstream appeal, scope, and spread.

Stories of transnational terror and justice illuminate the past and present of South America’s struggles for human rights “Outstanding. . . . An Olympian view of the Condor system.”—Philip Chrimes, International Affairs Through the voices of survivors and witnesses, human rights activists, judicial actors, journalists, and historians, Francesca Lessa unravels the secrets of transnational repression masterminded by South American dictators between 1969 and 1981. Under Operation Condor, their violent and oppressive regimes kidnapped, tortured, and murdered hundreds of exiles, or forcibly returned them to the countries from which they had fled. South America became a zone of terror for those who were targeted, and of impunity for those who perpetuated the violence. Lessa shows how networks of justice seekers gradually materialized and effectively transcended national borders to achieve justice for the victims of these horrors. Based on extensive fieldwork, archival research, trial ethnography, and over one hundred interviews, The Condor Trials explores South America’s past and present and sheds light on ongoing struggles for justice as its societies come to terms with the unparalleled atrocities of their not-so-distant pasts.

Moving Crops and the Scales of History

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
sidottu
A bold redefinition of historical inquiry based on the “cropscape”—the people, creatures, technologies, ideas, and places that surround a crop Human efforts to move crops from one place to another have been a key driving force in history. Crops have been on the move for millennia, from wildlands into fields, from wetlands to dry zones, from one imperial colony to another. This book is a bold but approachable attempt to redefine historical inquiry based on the “cropscape”: the assemblage of people, places, creatures, technologies, and other elements that form around a crop. The cropscape is a method of reconnecting the global with the local, the longue durée with microhistory, and people, plants, and places with abstract concepts such as tastes, ideas, skills, politics, and economic forces. Through investigating a range of contrasting cropscapes spanning millennia and the globe, the authors break open traditional historical structures of period, geography, and direction to glean insight into previously invisible actors and forces.

Born in 1845, Walter Crane was the first professional illustrator to proudly apply himself to commercial arts in the rising age of mechanical reproduction, he reformed the way his contemporaries perceived books, transforming them into influential, political, powerful objects to be pondered with intent and produced with art. Cheap as they were, they could still shape society, instil ideas and conjure worlds of possibility. His picture books served as a tool of popular education, helping to emancipate less well-to-do children and form their taste and personalities. They were of such artistic quality that they entered the homes of intellectuals such as Oscar Wilde and Dame Ellen Terry. This publication catalogues almost 450 titles illustrated by the artist, 274 of which have been newly discovered by Francesca Tancini, including unpublished illustrator’s diaries and account books and printer’s and publisher’s ledgers and archives. This catalogue offers a completely new picture of Crane and the publishing and artistic world in which he operated and excelled.

Before the assignment is over, Maria is forced to decide if it's more important to succeed at her work --and please Imo--or to follow her own moral compass. The End of Manners is a story of friendship and loyalty, of the transformative power of journeying outside oneself into the wider world.

"Haunting, immersive, and seething with dark magic."―Alexis Henderson Oprah Daily Top 25 Fantasy Book of 2022 In the 1920s, a lush, decadent gothic tale unfolds as a young woman slips into a glamorous world filled with illicit magic, tantalizing romance, and murder. On Crow Island, people whisper that real magic lurks just below the surface. But magic doesn't interest Annie Mason. Not after it stole her future. She's on the island only to settle her late father's estate and, hopefully, reconnect with her long-absent best friend, Beatrice, who fled their dreary lives for a more glamorous one. Yet Crow Island is brimming with temptation, and the most mesmerizing may be her enigmatic new neighbor. Mysterious and alluring, Emmeline Delacroix is a figure shadowed by rumors of witchcraft. Soon, Annie is drawn into a glittering, haunted world. A world where the boundaries of wickedness are tested, and the cost of illicit magic might be death. To those who are bright and young; to those who are wild and wicked; welcome to Crow Island. Praise for Wild and Wicked Things: "A deep, sensuous exploration of the bonds between three very different, complex women that readers won't soon forget." --Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author "Brimming with romance and gilded with danger, Wild and Wicked Things is a heady, lyrical gem of a book."--Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author
