Cet ouvrage propose un panorama de la presse francophone des Amériques au XIXe siècle. Il conduira le lecteur de l'Argentine jusqu'au Canada en passant par l'Uruguay, le Brésil, le Mexique et les États-Unis. Cette large étendue géographique et la diversité d'acteurs présentées au fil des pages montrent à quel point l'objet médiatique est central dans l'histoire des francophonies des Amériques, et pourtant encore mal connu. Nous peinons à imaginer qu'il a pu exister un réseau francophone de l'information panaméricain, interconnecté, par-delà l'Atlantique, avec l'Europe. Amenuisé ou disparu, ce système a connu au XIXe siècle – et même parfois au XXe siècle – une floraison et un dynamisme qu'il est temps de mieux comprendre. Regroupant les contributions de chercheurs des Amériques qui proposent de revivre cette histoire de la francophonie médiatique, ce recueil est le fruit de recherches menées notamment au sein des groupes scientifiques Médias 19 et Transfopress.

Dalle torri di Sampierdarena alle case di Tabucchi e De André: il capoluogo ligure svela le sue perle più nascoste I primi visitatori di una città non sono i turisti ma i suoi stessi abitanti. Che spesso, presi dalla quotidianità, non si soffermano su questo o quel particolare, monumento o curiosità, che hanno talvolta sotto il naso. I genovesi sono gente pratica: un po'come i turisti che a volte si fermano per un giorno o due e cercano di far entrare in quelle poche ore tutte le cose “da vedere assolutamente” in città. Questa guida è ricca di suggerimenti per tutti: mostrerà ai genovesi i loro veri tesori e ai “foresti” le chicche che in pochissimi conoscono, cose che soltanto in una città complessa e affascinante come Genova si possono trovare. Una guida che invita a perdersi e guardarsi intorno per conoscere la vera Genova Tra gli argomenti trattati: • la Genova medievale, capitale del mare • le torri medievali di Sampierdarena • Cristo si è fermato a Genova • le mura di Malapaga: il camminamento e il film • il passaggio segreto nella Porta dei Vacca • a casa Tabucchi, sulle alture di Marassi • l'ultima casa sul mare per Fabrizio De André • la polleria del Bomber • la casa degli spiriti: villa Musso Piantelli • la chiesa riscoperta in Piazza delle scuole pie Fabrizio CàlziaÈ nato a Genova nel 1960.

Ci sono molti modi per raccontare il Novecento: è il secolo della violenza; il secolo delle masse, delle religioni politiche, degli esperimenti totalitari, del welfare state, della democrazia. Ma esiste anche – così visibile da passare quasi inosservato – un Novecento effimero nel quale ciò che cambia è la vita privata delle italiane e degli italiani: il loro modo di pensarsi, vestirsi, vivere il corpo e la sessualità, organizzare la propria vita, i propri consumi, le case, i viaggi, le città. Attraverso il prisma delle cronache di costume, questo libro descrive appunto mutamenti e permanenze quotidiane dagli ultimi anni dell'Ottocento fino alla grande trasformazione degli anni Sessanta del Novecento. La storia pubblica delle nostre storie private.

Emilio Becher (1882-1921) fue el primer pensador argentino que, ya en los años iniciales de este siglo, enjuició con dureza las bases mismas de la sociedad moderna, democrática y tecnificada, hacia la cual el país daba entonces pasos rápidos y seguros. Su clarividencia lo convirtió en un verdadero profeta de la crisis que la república, pasadas algunas décadas, comenzaría a vivir y aún atraviesa. Casi olvidado hoy, sus contemporáneos vieron grabada en él la señal de los elegidos, y admiraron la penetración de su inteligencia, la pudorosa ternura de su corazón, la erudita vastedad de sus conocimientos, la delicadeza de sus poesías y la agudeza de su exquisita prosa. Eduardo J. Cárdenas y Carlos M. Payá, que han estudiado en otras ocasiones la época y la generación de Becher, narran en este libro su vida y su pensamiento. Y en torno al protagonista surgen las figuras de sus originales amigos, que componían la colorida intelectualidad porteña de 1900. Se dibujan también los ambientes y acontecimientos que formaron el marco de su vida, como la Facultad de Derecho y la huelga de estudiantes, o los comicios de 1903 y 1904, juzgados a veces por su fina pluma. Se trata, en esta obra, de comprender juntos a Becher y a la Argentina, que se esclarecen mutuamente.

Il tempo incrina, graffia, stinge, spezza, scrosta, consuma, deteriora, sbriciola, disintegra, distrugge, leviga ogni cosa. Ed è qui che risiede il potenziale estetico della metamorfosi alchemica che il tempo offre all'arte, la quale trasforma i detriti in meraviglie e i resti in impronte indelebili. Oltrepassando i limiti della temporalità per consegnare l'Idea all'eternità, trasformandola in immagine filosofica o artistica, il rifiuto, il rottame, lo straccio che si stagliano tra gli scorci fatiscenti e consumati dal tempo rappresentano quindi l'occasione per attivare lo sguardo estetico e la capacità di vedere in quell'“oltre” dinamico e moltiplicativo le sue potenzialità poetiche, narrative e allusive.

There are many images of science and the activities of scientists. Some would imply that science would eventually reach the limits of knowledge while others create an expectation of endless horizons. Some people would believe that science has or will provide the answers to key open questions that lay ahead, while others experience fear regarding its development. In this book, we will look at all these aspects, going from particles, via atoms, cells, starts, galaxies, our place in the universe, to explore what makes us, human beings, really unique in nature: our ability to imagine and shape the future by making use of the scientific method. The book is an EPS action designed to address the social dimension of science and the grand challenges in Physics that will bring radical change to developed societies, to raise standards of living at the global scale, and to provide basic understanding of nature on the Horizon 2050. Key Features: Describe the world's physics agenda to solve at the horizon 2050. Explore our ability to imagine and shape the future by making use of the scientific method. Reports prepare for a wide community avoiding as much as possible technical jargon, communicating results for non-experts in the field. Specific target audiences are young people looking for perspectives in physics and policy makers. The book should reach a broad audience that is willing to explore a future shaped by science.

Staging Buenos Aires centers theater as a source of historical inquiry to understand how nonelites experienced and shaped a city undergoing dramatic transformations. Commercial theater constituted the core of the city's public sphere, one in which middle-class playwrights and audiences assumed the leading role. Audiences and critics often disagreed about what was “acceptable” entertainment. Playwrights used theater to promote their own ideas of sociopolitical change, creating a space for working- and middle-class audiences to identify and push back against imposed regulations and attitudes. Cultural production on the city's stages revealed fissures and social anxieties about the expansion of the political system and of the public sphere as women became increasingly visible in urban spaces. At the same time, theater also gave structure and meaning to these rapid changes, providing the space for the city's playwrights and complex publics to play a key role in identifying, processing, and shaping the transforming nation. Plays helped audience members work through dramatic shifts in societal norms as urbanization and industrialization resulted in the visible decline of patriarchal social structures, made most visible in the urban sphere.

Suzel Balez fait la synthèse des connaissances et débats contemporains sur les relations entre lieux et odeurs, et propose des clefs pour la conception olfactive spatialisée. Elle offre une référence à ceux qui souhaitent penser les espaces de façon multisensorielle et un outil de réflexion sur ses pratiques à tout « odorisateur » qu'il soit artiste, metteur en scène ou commercial. Après un état des obstacles à la pensée des ambiances odorantes, l'auteure propose un concept interdisciplinaire, l'effet odorant, permettant la compréhension comme la conception des phénomènes odorants situés. Les bases d'une telle conception spatiolfactive sont alors explorées en prenant en compte les matériaux mis en œuvre et leurs positionnements, relativement à leurs surfaces d'échange avec l'air ambiant, ses trajets et ses compositions. Inscrite dans une pensée multisensorielle des lieux, ces réflexions renvoient aux bouleversements environnementaux et à la manière de les prendre en compte dans la conception spatiale.

The shocking crime-drenched saga of the New York mobs in Red Hook, Brooklyn—where the streets ran red with blood—by a Mafia survivor who grew up there... For more than a hundred years, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was Ground Zero for organized crime. Whoever controlled the piers controlled everything. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand at the turn of the century, to the notorious Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street—and everything else—generations later, the blood-soaked history of Red Hook is the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient. It's all here: the brutal mob hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings of the most colorful cutthroats to ever terrorize the streets. A rogue's gallery of killers with nicknames like “The Mad Hatter,” “The Executioner,” “Wild Bill,” and “Peg Leg.” The Brooklyn bar fight that gave Al “Scarface” Capone his legendary scars. The godfather of America's first Sicilian crime family whose gruesomely mangled hand could scare men half to death. And, to bring it all home, the author's own eyewitness account of multiple shootings growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard. Packed with jaw-dropping stories of public violence and personal vengeance, vivid insights into the Mafia's way of life, and shocking portraits of America's most wanted crime families, Red Hook is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of organized crime in America.

A fascinating interdisciplinary approach to how everyday Western music works, and why the tones, melodies, and chords combine as they do.Despite the cultural diversity of our globalized world, most Western music is still structured around major and minor scales and chords. Countless thinkers and scientists of the past have struggled to explain the nature and origin of musical structures. In Psychoacoustic Foundations of Major-Minor Tonality, music psychologist Richard Parncutt offers a fresh take, combining music theory—Rameau's fundamental bass, Riemann's harmonic function, Schenker's hierarchic analysis, Forte's pitch-class set theory—with psychology—Bregman's auditory scene, Terhardt's virtual pitch, Krumhansl's tonal hierarchy. Drawing on statistical analyses of notated music corpora, Parncutt charts a middle path between cultural relativism and scientific positivism to bring music theory into meaningful discourse with empirical research.Our musical subjectivity, Parncutt explains, depends on our past musical experience and hence on music history and its social contexts. It also depends on physical sound properties, as investigated in psychoacoustics with auditory experiments and mathematical models. Parncutt's evidence-based theory of major-minor tonality draws on his interdisciplinary background to present a theory that is comprehensive, creative, and critical. Examining concepts of interval, consonance, chord root, leading tone, harmonic progression, and modulation, he asks:Why are some scale tones and chord progressions more common than others?What aspects of major-minor tonality are based on human biology or general perceptual principles? What aspects are culturally arbitrary? And what about colonial history?Original and provocative, Psychoacoustic Foundations of Major-Minor Tonality promises to become a foundational text in both music theory and music cognition.

La nueva novela del «mejor escritor vivo de Italia» (Jhumpa Lahiri), ganador del Premio Strega entre otros, candidato al Premio Booker y traducido en 32 países «Una delicada meditación sobre la vejez, el deseo persistente y el paso implacable del tiempo. [...] Starnone se reafirma como un maestro de la literatura contemporánea, capaz de captar con precisión las sutilezas del corazón humano». Jesús Ferrer, La Razón Todas las mañanas, Nicola Gamurra, un escritor de ochenta y dos años, planta su silla de playa frente al mar y observa los elegantes movimientos de Lu, una joven que cada día se desliza en su canoa por la superficie del agua. Tiene la misma edad de la madre de Nicola cuando su padre se enamoró de ella y, aunque no guardan ningún parecido, el anciano no puede evitar mirarla sin pensar en ella. Este es el punto de partida de una historia tierna y delicada en la que Domenico Starnone nos abre de nuevo una ventana a los entresijos de las emociones y nos lleva de atardeceres marítimos a la infancia del protagonista, al taller de costura materno y a la vida de Lu, en un libro sorprendente sobre la vejez y la escritura lleno de erotismo, de sutileza y de crueldad. La crítica ha dicho: «Con ecos del clásico de Hemingway, el escritor firma una novela de aire crepuscular que es a la vez un homenaje al oficio de escribir». Aloma Rodríguez, El Mundo «Starnone consigue captar el alma humana, sus contradicciones, sus lados oscuros y sus momentos luminosos, consigue seguirla en sus vaivenes, en sus idas y sus venidas». Anna Maria Iglesia, El Periódico - Abril «El viejo en el mar destaca no solo como una meditación sobre la vejez, sino como un homenaje a la escritura misma, a ese acto de revivir y entender la vida a través de las palabras». Carmen Gómez Moreno, El Generacional «Una elevación literaria que conmociona». Manuel Vilas «Cada nuevo libro de Starnone es una fiesta». Valeria Parrella, Robinson (La Repubblica) «Un relato ágil y trepidante con el que Starnone da cuerpo a una tensa novela emocional». Giacomo Giossi, Il Foglio «Starnone describe de forma muy emotiva un sorprendente cataclismo: en la cabeza de Nicola, el pasado anega el presente, como sucede cuando el agua se filtra por una cañería rota». Emanuele Trevi, Corriere della Sera «Starnone ha tenido que estudiar y casi combatir para pasar de la escritura brillante y llena de humor de sus inicios a la madura y plagada de claroscuros actual: esa que en El viejo en el mar hace malabarismos entre los pliegues del tiempo, entre la diversión y el dolor, jugando al despiste con los personajes y fantasmas que pueblan la psique y la obra de este autor». Gianluigi Simonetti, Tuttolibri «La crueldad de desear, la melancolía del recuerdo. Y la maravilla de saber escribir hasta de lo que hemos perdido». Annalena Benini, Il Foglio Quotidiano «Una novela llena de melancolía y erotismo». Vanity Fair «Toda la obra de Starnone es una gran novela sobre ese extraordinario artificio en que consisten los recuerdos». Pier Luigi Razzano, La Repubblica Napoli «Un libro sobre el menoscabo del mundo propio, sobre la vejez, sobre el amor a las mujeres, sobre la escritura». Gazzeta di Parma «Tan intenso y emotivo como el paso del tiempo». Marta Cervino, Marie Claire «Un canto de amor a la vida». Valentina Berengo, Il Bo Live

The Station follows three high-spirited young men visiting the monasteries on Mount Athos in 1927. They examine treasures and sketch the courtyards and those who live in them. They swim ecstatically off the sparkling, deserted beaches, climb mountains, talk and share meals with monks and transcribe these conversations with relish. For life is very different for a celibate hermit on Mount Athos. Time has no meaning: the Son of God, His Virgin Mother, the Angels and the Saints are all living creatures of flesh and blood, and the Pope is a heretic. This slim book was little short of revolutionary in its championing of Greek Orthodoxy and Byzantine civilization, reversing centuries of western prejudice. It was the first of Robert Byron's travel books, revealing the flashing wit, bravery, passion and astonishing powers of visual observation which made him such an exceptional witness.

Nathanael West, originally named Nathan Weinstein, (1903 – 1940), was an American writer, primarily known for his satirical novels of the 1930s. His best-known works are'The Day of the Locust'and'Miss Lonelyhearts.'Published in 1939,'The Day of the Locust'is a novel about the mythologies of Hollywood and the'American Dream.'Enigmatic and disconcerting, this work narrates the experience of a set designer in a semi-hallucinatory and artificial Los Angeles (itself resembling a movie set), inhabited by a parade of eccentric characters and a crowd bewitched by the magic of cinema and promises of abundance and happiness. Both apocalyptic and moving, violent and absurdly comic,'The Day of the Locust'is, in the opinion of many, the best novel ever written about Hollywood.

'This lucid and entertaining book presents compelling scientific evidence that proves what many of us have perhaps long suspected: nature is really good for us. I found it revelatory'Richard Deverell, Director of Kew A revolutionary, science-based look at the ways nature can help make us healthier.Fifteen years ago, University of Oxford Professor Kathy Willis read a study that radically changed her view of our relationship to the natural world. The study revealed that hospital patients recovering from surgery improved three times faster when they looked out of their windows at trees rather than seeing walls.Since then, she has dedicated her research to proving this link between the amount of green space in our lives and our better health, mood and longevity. For the first time ever, Good Nature brings together these recent scientific findings and shares the simple changes we can all make in our lives. The book is full of surprising and practical ways that nature can improve our lives, such as: did you know that cedar enhances cancer-fighting cells in our immune system? Or that touching wood makes us feel calmer (the woodier, the knot-ier, the better)? Or that the scent of roses helps people drive more calmly and safely? Even having a pot plant by your desk can make a difference. A book with applications to everything from which way we walk to work to choosing where our kids should go to school, Good Nature brings the latest scientific research into our homes and workplaces. It shows how nature can help reduce the costs of healthcare and how, by bringing nature into our towns and cities, we can create a better, happier and healthier environment for all.

Monstruos de papel se interroga sobre el modo en que, entre 1870 y 1915, la fotografía se incorporó a la medicina argentina a través de las revistas especializadas para producir conocimiento y consenso científico. Analiza cómo, a lo largo de este período, se conformó un canon visual para las ciencias médicas, se incluyó el medio fotográfico en las prácticas científicas experimentales, y se extendió su uso para sostener teorías y prácticas de control social; en particular, aquellas vinculadas a la salud mental y a comportamientos considerados patológicos, como la delincuencia y los ataques de histeria pero también el ejercicio de la disidencia sexogenérica. La de María Claudia Pantoja es una investigación original e interdisciplinaria que pone en diálogo fecundo los estudios sobre cultura visual e impresa, los estudios de género y la historia social de la ciencia y la tecnología.

Die rasante Karriere der Thurn und Taxis im Umfeld der Habsburger ist intensiv erforscht. Und doch eröffnet die Analyse ihrer Strategien zur Imagekonzeption und Kunstförderung neue Perspektiven auf ihren sozialen Aufstieg. Die Ausweitung der habsburgischen Territorien, die Explosion des Schriftgebrauchs, die Internationalisierung des Wissenstransfers, der Konkurrenzdruck auf dem eben entstehenden Kunstmarkt – all das machte den raschen Transport von Nachrichten zu einer hochtaxierten Währung der Herrschaftssicherung, mit welcher die Postmeisterdynastie gleichsam handelte. Unverrückbar wurde sie so selbst Teil der weitläufigen Netzwerke der Gelehrten und Mächtigen ihrer Zeit, wie anhand von bislang unveröffentlichtem Quellen- und Bildmaterial spannungsreich rekonstruiert werden kann.

En Argentina entre 1910 y 1940 grandes cambios dieron lugar a la creación de establecimientos destinados a educar, exhibir y producir artes vinculadas a la industria. Buenos Aires fue una ciudad privilegiada en este proceso, en donde surgieron numerosas escuelas técnicas para obreras y obreros, se crearon salones nacionales de artes decorativas, se organizaron exposiciones comunales dedicadas a las artes aplicadas e industriales y se fundó el Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo. Entre otros planes exitosos y también fallidos, estas instituciones formaron parte de los proyectos que diversas figuras del ámbito artístico e industrial buscaron impulsar. La historia del arte ha relegado a las artes decorativas por considerarlas una producción de menor relevancia. Sin embargo, a principios del siglo XX en Argentina surgió una preocupación sobre el lugar desde el cual las artes podrían acompañar un proyecto de país industrial y moderno: las artes aplicadas, entre la belleza y la utilidad, se mostraban como un producto ideal para esta tarea. Este libro muestra cómo fomentar el vínculo entre arte e industria iba de la mano de un deseo de progreso, a la vez que atiende a figuras poco exploradas como el lugar de los estudiantes, artesanos y obreros en la producción artística.

Un clásico moderno de la novela negra italiana. Una nueva traducción de una obra maestra del giallo. «Que se trata de una novela inteligente y hábil, y que está construida con destreza e ingenio del mismo modo que se edifica una casa o se traza un jardín, no cabe ninguna duda».Natalia Ginzburg Un día de 1972 al despertar, la ciudad de Turín se vio obligada a reconocer algo que podía alterar su legendaria respetabilidad. De pronto tuvo que tomar conciencia de que se había convertido, como Los Ángeles, en un fascinante escenario de crímenes y pesquisas policiales. En otras palabras: acababa de publicarse La mujer del domingo, donde, rodeado por la hipocresía, la vanidad y la cháchara que animaban el mundo de la alta burguesía piamontesa, el inspector Santamaria investigaba un crimen entre magnates con una doble vida y damas atractivas y esnobs. Entre las obras de Fruttero & Lucentini —desprejuiciados, visionarios, «dos Watson sin Sherlock Holmes», como gustaban definirse, y una de las voces más originales de la literatura italiana del siglo XX—, esta es la primera y sin duda la más popular, apasionante y entretenida, algo que demuestra su éxito meteórico. Pero hay más. Se la puede considerar la progenitora de un género literario, un ejemplo de narración noblemente legible, que disimula su complejidad, pero no oculta su fina ironía, la elegancia de la trama y su sabiduría psicológica. «Mientras la leía, me sorprendía tener en mis manos una novela de la que me costaba separarme. Al salir de casa, tuve que luchar contra la tentación de llevármela conmigo y seguir leyéndola mientras paseaba por la ciudad. Ahora estamos tan poco acostumbrados a esa sensación que experimentarla nos hace reír de asombro».Natalia Ginzburg

The nature of olfaction; its importance for understanding perennial issues of philosophy of mind, perception, and consciousness; and its implications for cognitive neuroscience.What are smells? Despite the best efforts of philosophy and the chemosciences, the question remains vexing—but no more perplexing than the historical lapse of the past centuries to seriously consider a sense that has a key place in philosophy of mind and perception. Stinking Philosophy! is Benjamin Young's answer to this critical lapse. Drawing together more than a decade's research on olfactory philosophy, the book offers a clear, comprehensive look at the nature of odors—how we perceive smells, how we cognitively represent odors, how we communicate about them as categories, and what they can tell us about consciousness.In Stinking Philosophy! Young presents a methodology for addressing the philosophical and conceptual issues raised by the sense of smell. Then, in an exacting and coherent fashion, he explores how the philosophy of smell contributes to—and advances—a wide range of debates within philosophy of mind, perception, and cognitive neuroscience. Ultimately, his work demonstrates how empirically informed philosophy can have a significant impact on interdisciplinary research on smell across philosophy, the chemosciences, and neuroscience.

The essays collected in this volume examine manifestations of our sublime cosmos in ancient literature and its reception. Individual themes include religious mystery; calendrical and cyclical thinking as ordering principles of human experience; divine birth and the manifold nature of divinity (both awesome and terrifying); contemplation of the sky and meteorological (ir)regularity; fears associated with overpowering natural and anthropogenic events; and the aspirations and limitations of human expression. In texts ranging from Homer to Keats, the volume's chapters apply diverse critical methods and approaches that engage with sublimity in various aesthetic, agential and metaphysical aspects. The ancient texts – epic, dramatic, historiographic and lyric – treated here are rooted in a remote world where, within a framework of (perceived) celestial order, literature, myth and science still communicated profoundly, a tradition that continued in literary receptions of these ancient works. This volume honours the intellectual legacy of Thomas D. Worthen, a scholar whose expertise and insights cut across multiple disciplines, and who influenced and inspired students and colleagues at the University of Arizona, USA, for over three decades. Beyond clarifying temporally and culturally distant contemplations of the human universe, these essays aim to inform the continuing sense of wonder and horror at the sublime heights and depths of our ever-changing cosmos.

Art looting is commonly recognized as a central feature of Nazi expropriation, in both the Third Reich and occupied territories. After the war, the famed Monuments Men (and women) recovered several hundred thousand pieces from the Germans'makeshift repositories in churches, castles, and salt mines. Well publicized restitution cases, such as that of Gustav Klimt's luminous painting featured in the film Woman in Gold, illustrate the legacy of Nazi looting in the art world today. But what happened to looted art that was never returned to its rightful owners? In France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, postwar governments appropriated the most coveted unclaimed works for display in museums, embassies, ministries, and other public buildings. Following cultural property norms of the time, the governments created custodianships over the unclaimed pieces, without using archives in their possession to carry out thorough provenance (ownership) research. This policy extended the dispossession of Jewish owners wrought by the Nazis and their collaborators well into the twenty-first century. The custodianships included more than six hundred works in Belgium, five thousand works in the Netherlands, and some two thousand in France. They included paintings by traditional and modern masters, such as Rembrandt, Cranach, Rubens, Van der Weyden, Tiepolo, Picasso, and Matisse. This appropriation of plundered assets endured without controversy until the mid-1990s, when activists and journalists began challenging the governments'right to hold these items, ushering in a period of cultural property litigation that endures to this day. Including interviews that have never before been published, Museum Worthy deftly examines the appropriation of Nazi art plunder by postwar governments and highlights the increasingly successful postwar art recovery and restitution process.

This pioneering text explores the emerging discipline of ethorobotics which brings together the fields of animal behaviour and robotics. It encourages closer collaboration between behavioural scientists and engineers to facilitate the creation of robots with a higher degree of functionality in animal/human environments and to broaden understanding of animal behaviour in new and intriguing ways.Utilising the knowledge of key ethologists and roboticists in the field today, this book is divided into four major parts. The first part is written for those with little or no background in the biology of animal behaviour, particularly for those coming from an engineering background seeking an accessible introduction to the field and how it can be applied to robotic behaviour. Topics include problem solving in animals, social cognition, and communication (visual, acoustic, olfactory, etc.). The second part is an introduction to the basic construction of robots for non‑engineers, and the possibilities offered by current technical achievements and their limitations to the study of animal behaviour. The third part explores the core theme of ethorobotics, the basic framework of the discipline, the field's evolution, and current topics including ethical considerations, autonomy, to ‘living'social robots. The fourth and final chapter looks at ethorobotics in practice through key research projects which have had the biggest impact.This is a ground‑breaking interdisciplinary text which will appeal to upper‑level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers focusing on animal behaviour and cognition, as well as those undertaking courses in engineering, social robotics, biologically inspired robotics, AI, and human–robot and animal–robot interactions.

No sexto volume do livro Pensamento em Movimento, o leitor irá se deparar com uma ampla diversidade de temas, desde a perseguição, conhecida comumente nos dias atuais como stalking, e a missão da defensoria pública como uma responsabilidade do Estado, bem como textos reflexivos acerca das complexidades da vida humana e as possíveis interpretações de cunho jurídico-filosófico para a boa tomada de decisão, especialmente quando se trata do perdão na justiça restaurativa. Os textos perpassam por discussões relacionadas às obras clássicas Ulysses e Guerra e Paz, tratam de temas contemporâneos subjacentes como a situação de refugiados decorrente do conflito na Ucrânia, reflexões e desafios sobre comportamentos suicidas e a aprendizagem significativa e ativa na cultura digital, com uma visão da evolução do tema antes, durante e pós-pandemia de covid-19. Pode-se perceber assim uma obra plural, ou, como se diz no campo do direito, lato sensu. Sabe-se que o direito e a filosofia são ciências que se constroem a partir da observação, das interações humanas e do contexto social em que suas leituras são feitas. Nesse sentido, caro leitor, a obra lhe dará condições de olhar pelas lentes de professores e estudantes que se dedicam a aprofundar conhecimentos para contribuir com novas reflexões e, dessa forma, ajudarem a desenvolver formas alternativas de pensar, ou então reforçar o status quo, se necessário.

La vida de Leopoldo Lugones, reconocido por sus aportes a la literatura moderna y repudiado por su adhesión a los autoritarismos y su apoyo al golpe de Estado del 30, es el punto de partida para contar la relación de los intelectuales con el poder a lo largo de la historia argentina. Leopoldo Lugones fue reconocido por sus aportes a la literatura moderna y también repudiado por su adhesión a los autoritarismos. En su vida política, que se inició en el socialismo y pegó varios giros hasta su apoyo en 1930 al primer golpe de Estado del país, buscó incidir y participar en el poder. La biografía del poeta es en este libro el punto de partida para contar la relación entre los intelectuales y la vida política en la historia argentina. Una relación que no siempre fue igual: en los años fundantes, los escritores tenían un papel relevante para los gobiernos. Literatura y poder no eran asuntos separados, como sí lo fueron después. Cristina Mucci cuenta ese recorrido hasta llegar a los hechos y los protagonistas que conoce de primera mano por su trayectoria como periodista cultural: desde el regreso de la democracia y el de los intelectuales a la conversación pública hasta las tensiones más recientes sobre el papel y el financiamiento de la cultura en sociedades en crisis.

The book is interwoven according to the intrinsic logics of modern most important applications of electrospun nanofibers. It discusses such application-oriented nanofibers as self-healing vascular nanotextured materials, biopolymer nanofibers, soft robots and actuators based on nanofibers, biopolymer nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators, metallized nanofibers, and heaters and sensors based on them. It also includes such topics as the injectable nanofibrous biomaterials, fibrous hemostatic agents and their interaction with blood, as well as electrospun nanofibers for face-mask applications. The book also details polyelectrolytes-based complex nanofibers and their use as actuators. It also covers drug release facilitated by polyelectrolytes-based complex nanofibers. The fundamental aspects of electrospinning of polymer nanofibers discussed in the final part of the book link them to the applications described in the preceding chapters. Such topics as polymer solution preparation and their rheological properties, e.g., viscoelasticity and the related spinnability, the electrical conductivity of polymer solutions, and the cascade of the physical phenomena resulting in formation of nanofibers encompass the experimental aspects. Also, the general quasi-1D equations used for modeling of formation of electrospun polymer nanofibers, and the numerical aspects of their solution are discussed in detail, including such modeling-driven applications as nanofiber alignment by electric focusing fields.

The last 20 years have witnessed tremendous growth in theoretical and empirical work on emotions, including groundbreaking work on anger, disgust, pride, shame, sexual jealousy, romantic love, and more. Such work has demonstrated that emotions pervade nearly all aspects of psychological life, and that emotions are key to survival and reproduction and are therefore prime targets of natural selection. Emotions have also been implicated in a variety of psychological disorders, from the obvious (depression, anxiety) to the much less so (schizoid personality disorder, borderline personality disorder). In The Oxford Handbook of Evolution and the Emotions, Laith Al-Shawaf and Todd K. Shackelford have gathered a group of leading scholars in the field to present a centralized resource for researchers and students wishing to understand emotions from an evolutionary perspective. Together, the chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the literature, with a special focus on 1) conceptual foundations of evolutionary approaches to the emotions, 2) specific emotions, such as love, jealousy, anger, pride, disgust, shame, and others, 3) the importance of emotions in daily life, and 4) emotion disorders. The volume consists of four parts; the first part covers conceptual foundations of evolutionary approaches to the emotions (Evolution and the Emotions: Conceptual Foundations). The second part consists of specific emotions (Evolutionary Approaches to Specific Emotions). The third part focuses on the role of emotions in daily life, including spheres such as friendship, romantic relationships, morality, and politics (Evolutionary Approaches to Emotions in Daily Life). The fourth and final part consists of chapters on distinct emotion disorders (Evolutionary Approaches to Emotion Disorders). Comprehensive and integrative in nature, this Handbook is as an essential resource for students and scholars from a diversity of fields wishing to build upon our theoretical and empirical understanding of the emotions.

A ground-breaking investigation into newly discovered evidence showing that remarkable things happen to our bodies and our minds when our senses connect with the natural world. We all take for granted the idea that being in nature makes us feel better. But if you were a skeptical scientist—or indeed any kind of sceptic—who wanted hard scientific evidence for this idea, where would you look? And how would that evidence be gathered? It wasn't until Dr. Kathy Willis was asked to contribute to an international project looking for the societal benefits we gain from plants that she stumbled across a study that radically changed the way she saw the natural world. In the study there was clear proof that patients recovering from gall bladder operations recovered more quickly if they were looking at trees. In fact, in the last decade there has been an explosion of “proof'that incredible things happen to our bodies and our minds when our senses interact with the natural world. In Good Nature, Kathy Willis takes the reader on a journey with her to dig out all the experiments around the world that are looking for this evidence—experiments made easier by the new kinds of data being collected from satellites and big-data biobanks. Having a vase of roses on your desk or a green wall in your office makes a measurable difference to your wellbeing; certain scents in room diffusers genuinely can boost your immune system; and, in a chapter that Kathy calls'Hidden Sense'we learn that touching organic soil has a significant effect on the healthiness of your microbiome. What is remarkable about this book is how its revelations should to be commonsense– schools should let children play in nature to improve their health and concentration; urban streets should have trees—and yet it reveals just how difficult it is to prove this to businesses and governments. As Kathy Willis says in her narrative,'We now know enough to self-prescribe in our homes, offices or working spaces, gardens, and when out walking. However small these individual actions might be, overall they have the potential to provide a large number of health benefits. And we need to be encouraging others to do the same. Nature is far more than just something that is useful for our health. It is not a dispensable commodity. It is an inherent part of us.'

First published in 1925, Huxley reveals his thoughts on the subject of travelling in general and tourism in particular. He compares walking to motoring, looks for the traveller's-eye view in literature, weighs up his selection of guidebooks, analyzes the effects of sunglasses on the landscape, dissects our attitudes towards town and country and recommends some reading matter for a journey.

Pulcinella, a Neapolitan clown born of the commedia dell'arte tradition, went viral in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He was an unlikely hero, grotesque in his mannerisms, with a bulging belly, occasional hunchback, and an insatiable desire for macaroni. Still, this bulbous misfit took his place next to kings, caliphs, and intellectual heavyweights. Pulcinella's Brood traces the transnational arc of the Enlightenment-era Pulcinella, from his native Naples to Paris, from Rome to London. The book explores how Pulcinella was inserted into discourses about social order, aesthetics, and politics – how he became a revolutionary, a critic of the Catholic Church, and a champion of education. It examines how Pulcinella, along with his transnational brood, was a constant, pervasive presence during the Enlightenment and a squeaky-voiced participant in the ideological and theoretical debates that defined the era. Exploring the diffusion of Italian popular comedy throughout Europe, Pulcinella's Brood proposes that Pulcinella, a grotesque, food-obsessed clown, can be wielded as a historical disruptor and a rich and dynamic source for casting both the Enlightenment and our contemporary world in a different light.

La diffusione della tecnica di stampa in rotocalcografia, nei primi decenni del Novecento, permette di produrre riviste con un numero sempre maggiore di immagini a un costo inferiore e con tirature più alte. In questo nuovo genere periodico, che in Italia si afferma tra gli anni trenta e quaranta, le fotografie prendono il sopravvento sul testo e diventano la parte dominante e di richiamo dei periodici. È un mutamento epocale, che trasforma l'esperienza di lettura delle riviste in un'esperienza spettatoriale. Il volume indaga i modelli e le implicazioni di tale trionfo e la rimodulazione a cui è stata costretta la parola scritta nel nuovo contesto mediale. I contributi qui raccolti propongono una lettura critica degli equilibri inediti che si creano nel rapporto tra parole e immagini, attraverso l'esame di specifiche testate rappresentative del cambiamento, come “La Rivista illustrata del Popolo d'Italia”, “Casabella”, “Panorama”, “Tempo” e “Oggi”.
