R E PAOLO GARONNA V LONG-TERM EUROPE I G EDOARDO REVIGLIO ( eds. ) L I O RE-LAUNCHING FIXED, NETWORK I N V AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE E S C T o p I e This Volume collects contributions on the critical link between investment and growth in N r t i G n PAOLO GARONNA Europe. It aims at documenting, and building on, the fundamental shift in policy concepts a d I i N E t that took place in the EU around 2015. This period was defined by the critical transitions t o L r e EDOARDO REVIGLIO ( eds. ) O F underway: from recession to recovery; from inward-looking interrogations to pressure for e N s t a G , action and delivery; from the Barroso Commission to that of J.C.Juncker; from depression H - a u T n a to market volatility and uncertainty; from domestic political bickering to threatening geo- E g R D e M political instability; from one European legislature to the next. s i g n E Financial markets have been at the center of all these transitions. Indeed, to some extent U R they contributed to the challenges with their own transitions and vulnerabilities. However, O P at some point, something happened that changed the picture. A clearly perceived E discontinuity determined a break with the past. The world of finance was at the heart of it, not only as part of the problem, but above all as part of the solution. “Finance for growth” encapsulated this change of sentiment. The contributions to this Volume, representing a variety and a wide-range of points of view and perspectives, illustrate the meaning and value of “finance for growth”, and how and why this concept can be apply, and has been applied to the most prominent items in the European economic policy agenda.

The crowd is so uniformly dressed, in casually smart clothes and expensive sunglasses, that an out• sider might assume invitations to this event had been sent out weeks ago.

On a temporary stage a succession of speakers talk about the country’s glori• ous history. Italy has taken the day o to celebrate its 150th anniversary as a nation. Treviso’s mayor, Gian Paolo Gobbo, is not celebrating. The desk in his oce faces a large painting of Venice in the style of Canaletto.

While the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is over in Italy, the Italian economy faces a new dilemma. Italy finds itself in a potential deadlock as other countries outside and inside the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) are able to mitigate the impact of the pandemic through greater fiscal relief measures. Therefore, the fate of Italy’s economic woes lies in the hands of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Economic Commission. The difficulty, however, is that the EMU and its governing institutions not only are predicated on neoclassical economics that strips away vital monetary and fiscal policy space for member states during a crisis but also lacks an autonomous fiscal policy mechanism on the supranational level that can act decisively in a health crisis which asymmetrically affects Eurozone countries.

Покровка, д. 47 А ТЕЛ/ФАКС: +7 (495) 727-21-66 [email protected] www.c-g-i.ru Dear friends, The situation that came about in recent days on the international financial markets was for many a source of concern. The turmoil in the markets have taken off when the news spread that the Congress and the Senate of the United States had not reached an agreement on increasing the debt and the U.S. threatened to declare a technical default on August 2. The tensions and speculative pressures that were on in the days immediately prior to 2 August have been strengthened earlier this week when the markets reopened following the downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt from AAA to AA +. The Italian stock market trends last week have been heavily affected by the international tensions and led to consolidate the loss of Milan Stock Exchange at -8.98% in the last seven days. The national and international press has argued that poor performance of the Milan Stock Exchange (in line with all other main markets) was due to the debt situation of the Italian Republic. It is necessary for us to take a position and argue the reasons that lead us to remain relaxed about the situation of the Italian debt: • The S & P Rating on Italian government debt in the long term is A + (since 2006, and has not been touched despite the crisis of 2008) • Italy has a public debt equal to 120% of GDP, but this debt has been accumulated in 50 years, while the United States, which have a public debt equal to 100% of GDP have accumulated it in less than 10 years with a dynamic of which they have clearly lost control.

Ghibli es un estudio de trayectoria mundial que produjo películas muy conocidas que utilizamos para el análisis: El viaje de Chihiro, La princesa Mononoke y Mi vecino Totoro. Hayao Miyazaki es el responsable de presentar un tipo de animé diferente al de robots o Samuráis. El principal objetivo es dilucidar de qué manera se representa la cultura japonesa en este particular anime. El análisis nos permite identificar elementos de construcción, así como obtener como producto final una idea de aquello que Miyazaki quiere que veamos o conozcamos de Japón.

    Animated Dialogues, 2007 29

    Animation Studies – Animated Dialogues, 2007 Michael Broderick Superflat Eschatology Renewal and Religion in anime “For at least some of the Superflat people [...] there is a kind of traumatic solipsism, even an apocalyptic one, that underlies the contemporary art world as they see it.” THOMAS LOOSER, 2006 “Perhaps one of the most striking features of anime is its fascination with the theme of apocalypse.” SUSAN NAPIER, 2005 “For Murakami, images of nuclear destruction that abound in anime (or in a lineage of anime), together with the monsters born of atomic radiation (Godzilla), express the experience of a generation of Japanese men of being little boys in relation to American power.” THOMAS LAMARRE, 2006 As anime scholar Susan Napier and critics Looser and Lamarre suggest, apocalypse is a major thematic predisposition of this genre, both as a mode of national cinema and as contemporary art practice. Many commentators (e.g. Helen McCarthy, Antonia Levi) on anime have foregrounded the ‘apocalyptic’ nature of Japanese animation, often uncritically, deploying the term to connote annihilation, chaos and mass destruction, or a nihilistic aesthetic expression. But which apocalypse is being invoked here? The linear, monotheistic apocalypse of Islam, Judaism, Zoroastra or Christianity (with it’s premillennial and postmillennial schools)? Do they encompass the cyclical eschatologies of Buddhism or Shinto or Confucianism? Or are they cultural hybrids combining multiple narratives of finitude? To date, Susan Napier’s work (2005, 2007) is the most sophisticated examination of the trans- cultural manifestation of the Judeo-Christian theological and narrative tradition in anime, yet even her framing remains limited by discounting a number of trajectories apocalypse dictates.1 However, there are other possibilities.
