Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Birmania gira una battuta popolare, secondo cui Orwell non scrisse soltanto un romanzo sul Paese, Giorni birmani, ma un’intera trilogia, completata da La fattoria degli animali e 1984. La connessione della Birmania (oggi chiamata Myanmar) con George Orwell non è metaforica, ma profonda e reale: sua madre era nata in Birmania al culmine del raj britannico e la nonna viveva ancora lì quando lui decise di arruolarsi.Alla scomparsa di Orwell, il romanzo in stesura trovato sulla sua scrivania era ambientato in Birmania.In un intrepido diario di viaggio dal taglio politico e biografico, Emma Larkin guida il lettore alla scoperta dei luoghi dove Orwell ha vissuto e lavorato come agente della Polizia imperiale britannica, vivendo esperienze che condizionarono profondamente la sua visione del mondo.Attraversando Mandalay e Yangon, le isolate aree meridionali del Delta dell’Irrawaddy e le montagne del nord dove gli inglesi andavano in villeggiatura per sfuggire al caldo delle pianure, l’autrice ritrae una Birmania appassionante e struggente.Prima colonizzata e in seguito governata da una giunta militare isolazionista e brutale, la nazione ha visto la propria storia e identità cancellate a più riprese da metodi di governo orwelliani, che hanno soppresso libertà d’espressione e pensiero.Ispirata dalla chiarezza morale e dal rifiuto dell’ingiustizia di Orwell, l’autrice incontra persone che hanno trovato un modo di resistere agli effetti annientatori di uno dei più crudeli Stati di polizia, restituendo loro dignità. Questo libro è una chiave per riscoprire Orwell, appassionarsi alla Birmania e trovare gli strumenti per capire il travagliato e contraddittorio processo di democratizzazione in corso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes theological and philosophical understandings of debt and its role in contemporary capitalism. Max Webers account of the rise of capitalism focused on his concept of a Protestant ethic, valuing diligence in earning and saving money but restraint in spending it. However, such individual restraint is foreign to contemporary understandings of finance, which treat ever-increasing consumption and debt as natural, almost essential, for maintaining the economic cycle of buying and selling. In The Debt of the Living, Elettra Stimilli returns to this idea of restraint as ascesis, by analyzing theological and philosophical understandings of debt drawn from a range of figures, including Saint Paul, Schmitt and Agamben, Benjamin and Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, and Foucault. Central to this analysis is the logic of profit for profits sakean aspect of Webers work that Stimilli believes has been given insufficient attention. Following Foucault, she identifies this as the original mechanism of a capitalist dispositif that feeds not on a goal-directed rationality, but on the self-determining character of human agency. Ascesis is fundamental not because it is characterized by renunciation, but because the self-discipline it imposes converts the properly human quality of action without a predetermined goal into a lack, a fault, or a state of guilt: a debt that cannot be settled. Stimilli argues that this lack, which is impossible to fill, should be seen as the basis of the economy of hedonism and consumption that has governed global economies in recent years and as the premise of the current economy of debt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seductions of Pilgrimage explores the simultaneously attractive and repellent, beguiling and alluring forms of seduction in pilgrimage. It focuses on the varied discursive, imaginative, and practical mechanisms of seduction that draw individual pilgrims to a pilgrimage site; the objects, places, and paradigms that pilgrims leave behind as they embark on their hyper-meaningful travel experience; and the often unforeseen elements that lead pilgrims off their desired course. Presenting the first comprehensive study of the role of seduction on individual pilgrims in the study of pilgrimage and tourism, it will appeal to scholars of anthropology, cultural geography, tourism, heritage, and religious studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving away from Jacques Derrida's deconstructionism and Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, and building on his experiences as a politician, Vattimo asks if it is still possible to speak of moral imperatives, individual rights, and political freedom. Acknowledging the force of Nietzsche's "God is dead," Vattimo argues for a philosophy of pensiero debole or "weak thinking" that shows how moral values can exist without being guaranteed by an external authority. His secularising interpretation stresses anti-metaphysical elements and puts philosophy into a relationship with postmodern culture.

Book excerpt: "Examining the act of wandering through many lenses, Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture addresses questions such as: Why did the Greeks associate the figure of the wanderer with the condition of exile? How was the expansion of the world under Rome reflected in the connotations of wandering? Does a person learn by wandering, or is wandering a deviation from the truth? In the end, this matchless volume shows how the transformations that affected the figure of the wanderer coincided with new perceptions of the world and of travel, and invites us to consider its definition and import today."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: In un piccolo villaggio del nord, un pescatore decide di partire per uno dei suoi saltuari viaggi in mare. La notte che precede la partenza, però, scoppia un temporale, che per i pescatori di quei luoghi è presagio di malasorte e collera divina. Untar decide di salpare ugualmente, accompagnato dal suo primogenito Harold. Dopo un paio di giorni di ordinaria navigazione e buona pesca, i due vengono affiancati, in una notte nebbiosa, da una nave da guerra, notevolmente danneggiata e a prima vista, completamente deserta. Presto alcuni individui scivoleranno di nascosto sulla barca di Untar, allo scopo di prenderne possesso e fuggire dai loro inseguitori, tra loro un vecchio druido e un singolare soldato con una gamba sola. Il pacato pescatore si rivelerà un sanguinoso guerriero, il cui passato e le gesta sono risaputi in tutte le terre e cantate da tutti i popoli. Il mondo lo crede morto, e suo figlio è all’oscuro di tutto, ma gli uomini che occupano la barca non tarderanno a riconoscerlo. I celati segreti del suo passato riaffioreranno e i nemici che lo avevano dimenticato, torneranno a tormentarlo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children’s minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci. Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome’s San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child’s mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher offers an unbiased perspective from an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first comprehensive book on Liliana Cavani, Gaetana Marrone redraws the map of postwar Italian cinema to make room for this extraordinary filmmaker, whose representations of transgressive eroticism, spiritual questing, and psychological extremes test the limits of the medium, pushing it into uncharted areas of discovery. Cavani's film The Night Porter (1974) created a sensation in the United States and Europe. But in many ways her critically renowned endeavors--which also include Francesco di Assisi, Galileo, I cannibali, Beyond Good and Evil, The Berlin Affair, and several operas and documentaries--remain enigmatic to audiences. Here Marrone presents Cavani's work as a cinema of ideas, showing how it takes pleasure in the telling of a story and ultimately revolts against all binding ideological and commercial codes. The author explores the rich visual language in which Cavani expresses thought, and the cultural icons that constitute her style and images. This approach affords powerful insights into the intricate interlacing of narrated events. We also come to understand the importance assigned to the gaze in the genesis of desire and the acquisition of knowledge. The films come to life in this book as the classical tragedies Cavani intended, where rebels and madmen experience conflict between historical and spiritual reality, the present and the past. Offering intertextual analyses within such fields as psychology, history, and cultural studies, along with production information gleaned from Cavani's personal archives, Marrone boldly advances our understanding of an intriguing, important body of cinematic work.
