Danilo Bucchi nasce a Roma nel 1978. Il talento di Danilo Bucchi è probabilmente il tratto dominante del suo profilo artistico, costituito da una severa determinazione nel radicarsi in un universo di segni che rimanda alla tradizione dell'astrazione europea delle prime avanguardie, con l'ausilio di tecniche e supporti fortemente tecnologici. In questo libro, progettato in occasione della mostra di Danilo Bucchi al MLAC, ma il cui contenuto non è concluso nell'analisi esclusiva del ciclo di lavori presentati, la forza dirompente dell'artista emerge continuamente, è il motivo scatenante, la frenesia che si riverbera fra le pagine e la grafica del testo. Testi e interviste, note e critica, dal saggio introduttivo di Giorgia Calò all'intervista impossibile di Jerome Sans, tutto testimonia la febbricitante soluzione creativa di un giovane talento della pittura contemporanea.

This is the black and white edition, for a color edition please see : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Bilingual edition: original letters in English translated into Italian by Stefania Iannella***You will read the moving words of common people who, calling themselves "laymen" and admitting that they do not know how to distinguish "even just a note from another", perceive the true essence of classical music. In fact, most of these writings describe the highest musical experience: the mystical elevation. These American fans thank Arturo Toscanini for the "pure joy" resulting from the concerts he directed. They feel they are in celestial realms, thus forgetting their earthly sufferings.***In addition to the twenty-one letters from the admirers, an unpublished letter from Dora Mary Penny Powell (Dorabella) of singular musicological importance is also disclosed, as it reveals some key elements to solve an enigma. The famous yet unsolved mystery concerning the melody hidden in Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations (1899) could thus finally be revealed. ***La musica classica è una prerogativa di un'élite di soli intenditori? Questi ammiratori, autodefinendosi al contrario "profani" in ambito musicale e ammettendo di non saper distinguere "neanche una nota dall'altra", intuiscono la vera essenza della musica classica. In buona parte di questi scritti è, infatti, descritta l'esperienza musicale per eccellenza: l'elevazione mistica. Leggerete le parole commosse di persone che, grazie alla "gioia pura" derivante dall'ascolto dei concerti diretti da Toscanini, sentono di ritrovarsi in regni celestiali, dimenticando così le proprie sofferenze terrene. Tanto entusiasmo, tanta dedizione al mondo Sublime della musica classica sono espressi attraverso le più sincere impressioni raccontate da persone disparate, che proclamano però all'unisono l'effetto sovrannaturale della musica diretta da Arturo Toscanini. Libro contenente rivelazioni sulle "Enigma Variations " di Elgar.Questa è l'edizione in bianco e nero, per chi preferisce vedere e conservare le riproduzioni delle lettere nei loro colori originali, l'edizione a colori è acquistabile a questo link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VCYDH9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

An exploration of the anthropogenic landscapes of Lucca, Italy, and how its people understand social and environmental change through cultivation In Italy and around the Mediterranean, almost every stone, every tree, and every hillside show traces of human activities. Situating climate change within the context of the Anthropocene, Andrew Mathews investigates how people in Lucca, Italy, make sense of social and environmental change by caring for the morphologies of trees and landscapes. He analyzes how people encounter climate change, not by thinking and talking about climate, but by caring for the environments around them. Maintaining landscape stability by caring for the forms of trees, rivers, and hillsides is a way that people link their experiences to the past and to larger scale political questions. The human-transformed landscapes of Italy are a harbinger of the experiences that all of us are likely to face, and addressing these disasters will call upon all of us to think about the human and natural histories of the landscapes we live in.

In this classic edition of her groundbreaking text Knowledge in Context, Sandra Jovchelovitch revisits her influential work on the societal and cultural processes that shape the development of representational processes in humans. Through a novel analysis of processes of representation, and drawing on dialogues between psychology, sociology and anthropology, Jovchelovitch argues that representation, a social psychological construct relating Self, Other and Object-world, is at the basis of all knowledge. Exploring the dominant assumptions of western conceptions of knowledge and the quest for a unitary reason free from the ‘impurities’ of person, community and culture, Jovchelovitch recasts questions related to historical comparisons between the knowledge of adults and children, ‘civilised’ and ‘primitive’ peoples, scientists and lay communities and examines the ambivalence of classical theorists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Freud, Durkheim and Lévy-Bruhl in addressing these issues. Featuring a new introductory chapter, the author evaluates the last decade of research since Knowledge in Context first appeared and reassesses the social psychology of the contemporary public sphere, exploring how challenges to the dialogicality of representations reconfigure both community and selfhood in this early 21st century. This book will make essential reading for all those wanting to follow debates on knowledge and representation at the cutting edge of social, cultural and developmental psychology, sociology, anthropology, development and cultural studies.

This Handbook provides the requisite theoretical and methodological guidelines for undertaking social research addressing relevant contemporary social issues.

Poetry. Translated from the French by Josef Simas, with Lydia Davis, Anthony Barnett and Douglas Oliver. "There is no other poetry like this in the world. Even at its most difficult, its passions are mesmerizing. It is a great triumph to have carried these extraordinary pages into the English language."--Paul Auster "Here is the poet for whom the voice itself rings in its silent echo, reaching ever farther into the constancy of reflection, ever further into something unknown, unknowable, frightening...."--Gale Nelson "It is a book of fourteen poems...which seem to be a meditation on an already-distanced interior drama, a kind of passion both in the sensual and in the suffering senses."--Rachel Blau DuPlessis
