italian culture, Vol. xxxii No. 2, September 2014, 138–60 Book Reviews Fictions of Appetite: Alimentary Discourses in Italian Modernist Literature. By Enrico Cesaretti. Pp. vii + 272. Oxford: Peter Lang. 2013. Aside from a few, notable examples, such as Gian-Paolo Biasin’s I sapori della modernità (1991), gastro-criticism is a fairly new multi-disciplinary approach to literature that incorpo- rates literary studies, anthropology, sociology, semiotics and history to explore cultural production. Enrico Cesaretti’s gastro-critical approach to Italian Modernism brings together articles previously published; but here they are revised in order to read early twentieth century Italian writers and texts from a new perspective. The four chapters explore both well-known and nearly forgotten texts by authors such as F. T. Marinetti, Aldo Palazzeschi, Paola Masino, Massimo Bontempelli, and Luigi Pirandello through the common thematic of food, eating, depravation and hunger. Cesaretti notes that “virtually every major twentieth-century Western intellectual from Freud onward, has refl ected on the multiple cultural roles and implications of food and eating” (3). Modernism brought renewed focus on the body, so the trope of food, or lack thereof, becomes an important semiotic concern for writers of the period. Cesaretti’s selection of authors and texts stems from a chronological closeness more so than a great stylistic affi nity, and he is conscious of trying to unite his authors under the umbrella of the term Modernism, which, as he notes, has been problematic in Italian literary critical circles. For Cesaretti, these fi ve authors all emphasize food, hunger, and related tropes in their works because of historical reality (food shortages in Italy during the interwar years among others) and because of Modernism’s emphasis on the body and its functions. -
Peddling Print in Renaissance Florence and Venice Rosa M
Sixteenth Century Journal XLII/3 (2011) ISSN 0361-0160 “Selling stories and many other things in and through the city”: Peddling Print in Renaissance Florence and Venice Rosa M. Salzberg University of Warwick Mobile and marginal, street sellers tend to disappear from the historical record, yet they played a very important part in the dissemination of cheap print from the earliest days of Italian publishing. They operated in the most central spaces of Italian cities such as Venice and Florence, selling cheap printed pamphlets, fliers, and images alongside other small consumer goods. They helped to make print accessible to a wide audience, often engaging in oral hawking or per- formance that could reach beyond the confines of the fully literate minority. However, these sellers occupied an ambiguous position in Italian cities, more often welcomed by customers and audiences than by guilds and government authorities. The increasing restrictions on print peddlers introduced in the era of the Counter- Reformation reflect the efforts of civic and religious authorities to grapple with the contemporary challenges of a burgeoning print market. In February 1560, several cartolai (stationers) petitioned the Duke of Florence, Cosimo I de’ Medici, for an exemption from a recent prohibition against selling in the street on religious holidays. All three petitioners— Tommaso di Antonio del Grasso, Santi di Giuliano Ceserini, and Bartolomeo di Luca— emphasized their poverty and responsibility to provide for large families. They explained that they had been accustomed, “according to long tradition” (secondo l’antica con- suetudine) to sell various kinds of cheap printed texts and images on feast days in the Via Calimala, near the Mercato Vecchio in central Florence, and elsewhere around the city. -

Venetian Foreign Affairs from 1250 to 1381: the Wars with Genoa and Other External Developments

Throughout the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the two powers often clashed in open hostilities. This antagonism between the cities lasted for ten generations, and has been compared to the earlier rivalry between Rome and Carthage. Like the struggle between the two ancient powers, the Venetian/Gcnoan hatred stemmed from their competitive relationship in maritime trade. Unlike land-based rivals, sea powers cannot be separated by any natural boundary or agree to observe any territorial spheres of influence. Trade with the Levant, a source of great wealth and prosperity for each of the cities, required Venice and Genoa to come into repeated conflict in ports such as Chios, Lajazzo, Acre, and Tyre. -

It is the tale of a son who discovers his father, and a father his son, before a crackling fire over Christmas, where everyone in the town has their own personal story to tell. With characters who speak their own pidgin language, Abate’s coming of age fairy tale crosses two generations. It speaks of love and learning, and offers valuable insights into the experience of migration. Originally published in 2004 and short-listed for the Campiello Prize, this is a new edition of Carmine Abate’s novel. Carmine Abate was born in 1954 in Carfizzi, an Alabanian settlement in Calabria. He emigrated to Hamburg when he was a young man and now lives in Trentino. He began his writing career in Germany with Den Koffer und weg! (1984), and in 2012, his novel La collina del vento won the Premio Campiello. His books have been translated in French, English, German, Dutch, Greek, Portuguese, Albanian and Arabic.

Qpp Quantum Paradigm Psychopathology Group a Global Scientific Initiative
qpp Quantum Paradigm Psychopathology Group a global scientific initiative Research Institute for Quantitative and Quantum Dynamics of Living Organisms Center for Medicine, Mathematics & Philosophy Studies The Quantum Paradigms of Psychopathogy (“QPP") initiative began in June 2008. At that time Donald Mender, M. D., a psychiatrist on the clinical faculty of Yale University, conducted an informal poll of scientific contributors to a series of three Quantum Mind conferences affiliated with the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona. These meetings had sought to explore the relevance of quantum physics to sentient processes in the normal brain. In 2017, the QPP Italy is set up in Bologna as an emanation of the QPP World in order to allow a more agile exchange of information among the European members of the Group. Since 2012, the QPP has organized a meeting every year and, today, we are at the eighth edition of the QPP Meeting. This 2019 edition is dedicated to our friend Kary Mullis who has reached the end of his life story. An end to the dialogue but certainly not of the example and the teaching.
