        Cinema - Italy

        by Stefania Parigi, Des O'Rawe

        A journey to the Italian cinema that overturns established views and opens up new perspectives and interpretations. Its itinerary is organized in four stages. The first is an analysis of the theories of Cesare Zavattini on neorealism which overturns widely accepted positions both on Zavattini and on neorealism. The second confronts a key film of the post-war Italian cinema, Roberto Rossellini's Paisà, by examining the nature of its realism. The third is dedicated to Luchino Visconti: to questions of the use of language exemplified in his La terra trema, the use of settings, costume and light as agents of meaning in his Il Gattopardo and Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa. The final voyage of the film is to the physical and symbolic construction of heaven and earth in the work of Pasolini. Particular attention is given to the representation of the body in his last four films: the grotesque and mythical bodies in popular tradition in his Trilogia di vita and the tortured bodies destroyed by the mass media in Salò. ;

        Enclosing Water

        Nature and Political Economy in a Mediterranean Valley, 1796-1916

        by Stefania Barca

        Enclosing Water is an environmental history of the Industrial Revolution, as inscribed on the Liri valley in Italy’s Central Apennines. Amid forces of revolution and empire, and Enlightenment discourses of ‘improvement’ and political economy, the Liri’s natural wealth - water-power - generated sweeping changes in its landscape and working and living environments. This book tells the story of how defining water as property - both materially and discursively - led to the emergence of an industrial riverscape, and of a concomitant new ecological consciousness; to heightened environmental risks and awareness of those risks. A dramatic century in the Liri’s socio-environmental history, with its cast of new industrial bourgeoisie, engineers and civil servants, illuminates how material developments and ideological currents completely reshaped the relationship between society and nature at the periphery of 19th century Europe. By integrating Political Economy into the narrative of European environmental history, this pioneering book offers a critical new view of discourses of water disorder and environmental politics in the Mediterranean region.

        What’s for supper?

        by Stefania Arcieri

        What’s for supper? subtly aims attention at taste differences, food intolerances and taboos. Tonight, Léon and his friends are having dinner together in the garden. The only thing left to do is to plan the menu and this is where things get complicated : everyone has different tastes and they will (or not!) have to compromise… • The collection «Paupiette» is a fun way to educate small children about taste, food diversity and the seasonality of fruits and vegetables • Stefania’s pencils, their liveliness and bright colors are enough to excite our taste buds!

        Circus-motricity Manual

        by Manlio Casali, Stefania Sala

        "Circus-motricity manual" is in effect a pioneering text, not so much because it invents something new, but rather because, for the first time, it engages in a double attempt: to contribute to the development and dissemination of circus arts as a valid playful tool / educational and design a very practical and concrete form of what is spoken of, to give pragmatism to myths and dreams. And it is a manual that talks about motricity, that is the application of circus arts to a playful and experiential approach that can have important reflections on children. Not because it will make them circus artists. Not superheroes. Not child prodigies. But because it will be a beautiful experience for them, a thing made and lived with pleasure, with themselves, with others, with unexpected gratifications and the development of sociality. A game that improves their motor skills.
