Ottoman Philosophical Culture and the Court Debate Between Zeyrek (d. 903/1497-98 [?]) and Ḫocazāde (d. 893/1488)
Efe Murat Balıkçıoğlu
abstract
The present volume offers a detailed analysis of a fifteenth-century court debate on God’s unicity (tawḥīd), involving the Ottoman scholars Mollā Zeyrek (d. 903/1497-98 [?]) and Ḫocazāde Muṣliḥuddīn Muṣṭafā (d. 893/1488), as a chance to highlight the dynamics of knowledge production at the time: in post-classical Islamic scholarship, an essential element of the process was scholars’ adroitness in synthesizing arguments from differing schools of philosophy and theology – via close readings of past masters. This dialectic unfolded during a period of imperial restructuring, at a time when Sultan Meḥmed II (d. 886/1481) realized his cosmopolitan and universalistic ambitions through his persistent patronage of philosophy and science, a case that is illustrated by his glorious palatine library. The setting, …

Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe
edited by
Bolette B. Blaagaard Sabrina Marchetti Sandra Ponzanesi Shaul Bassiabstract
Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe presents a collection of sixteen chapters that explore the themes of how migrants, refugees and citizens express and share their political and social causes and experiences through art and media. These expressions, which we term ‘citizen media’, arguably become a platform for postcolonial intellectuals as the studies pursued in this volume investigate the different ways in which previously excluded social groups regain public voice. The volume strives to understand the different articulations of migrants’, refugees’, and citizens’ struggle against increasingly harsh European politics that allow them to achieve and empower political subjectivity in a mediated and creative space. In this way, the contributions in this volume present case studies of citizen media …

Migration and Torture in Today’s World
edited by
Fabio Peroccoabstract
This book analyses torture, inhuman and degrading treatment towards migrants worldwide, integrating overviews from several contexts and disciplines. It highlights that today migrants’ mistreatment is a global phenomenon, a frequent element of the migratory experience (in countries of departure, of transit, of arrival), an intrinsic component of state policies, and an extreme form of that structural violence which is inherent to the contemporary war on migrants at the global level.

Ambassadors of Sustainability
edited by
Lydia Griaznova Maria Redaelliabstract
The project Sostenibilart aims to raise awareness on a crucial issue, such as the sustainability of all our activities on the planet, and together to ‘educate’ concretely, through art, sustainability in a broad sense, inspiring and promoting actions. The idea is powerful and understandable: to encourage, in the current international scene, artists of significant standing to become ‘Ambassadors of Sustainability’, contributing with their works to promote a greater and more active awareness of environmental respect, the non-dissipative use of the planetary resources, multiethnic and multigenerational sharing.

Proceedings of the Plenary Sessions
The 24th International Congress of Byzantine Studies
edited by
Emiliano Fiori Michele Trizioabstract
The present volume collects most of the contributions to the plenary sessions held at the 24th International Congress of Byzantine Studies, and incisively reflects the ever increasing broadening of the very concept of ‘Byzantine Studies’. Indeed, a particularly salient characteristic of the papers presented here is their strong focus on interdisciplinarity and their breadth of scope, both in terms of methodology and content. The cross-pollination between different fields of Byzantine Studies is also a major point of the volume. Archaeology and art history have pride of place; it is especially in archaeological papers that one can grasp the vital importance of the interaction with the so-called hard sciences and with new technologies for contemporary research. This relevance of science …

La mostra Cipro nella Biblioteca Marciana di Venezia. Manoscritti, testi e carte (Venezia, 22-27 agosto 2022), organizzata a latere del 24° Congresso Internazionale di Studi Bizantini, della quale il presente catalogo è specchio, mira a indagare l’eredità culturale del secolare rapporto che legò Venezia e Cipro (1473-1571), sulla base dei materiali manoscritti e cartografici conservati nella Biblioteca Marciana, la più longeva istituzione culturale della Serenissima. La schedatura aggiornata dei materiali, accompagnata da un’ampia introduzione, propone un percorso che al contempo fa luce sulla vicenda dei singoli manoscritti e traccia un preliminare itinerario dei rapporti culturali che legarono l’isola al dominio veneziano.

Materials and Methods of Analysis for the Study of the Ainu Language
Southern Hokkaidō and Sakhalin Varieties
Elia Dal Corso
abstract
This volume is intended to be a practical manual to learn the basics of the Ainu language, in its varieties of Southern Hokkaidō and Sakhalin. Each lesson presents one specific topic that is investigated taking into account both varieties of the language. Three kinds of activities guide the student throughout each lesson to inductively make generalisations on the language that can be supported by linguistic evidence and, possibly, to revise the information they were given as a start of their analysis. In order to do this, the student learns to observe the data, recognize recurring patterns and exceptions, and formulate a description of the language behaviours illustrated by the given examples. At the end of each lesson the student actively …

Dante nei fumetti (e vignette) italiani dal XIX al XXI secolo
edited by
Leonardo Canova Luca Lombardo Paolo Rigoabstract
This volume is born from the desire to bring together two worlds: that of Dante scholars and that of cartoonists and illustrators who have drawn inspiration from Dante. The volume is composed of two sections, the first of which, without any claim to being exhaustive, intends to retrace and analyse the presence of Dante and his works in Italian comics and cartoons from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Here, from the relationship with the archetypal Gustave Doré, we come to the most recent realisations on web platforms, crossing important junctions in the history of Italy along with some of the most important representatives of the ninth art – Guido Martina, Milo Manara, Benito Jacovitti, Marcello, …

Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Italy Between Exclusion, Discrimination and Struggles
edited by
Francesco Della Puppa Giuliana Sanòabstract
This volume analyses exclusion processes, segregation dynamics and the forms of discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers in Italy, where the reception system is marked by opaqueness and arbitrariness and is becoming increasingly similar to the model of “camps”. The numerous vibrant contributions present a fully-fledged system of inferiorization, characterised by labour exploitation, housing discomfort, meagre rights and control strategies, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a sharp worsening of the health, work, housing and administrative conditions. A framework that has found opposition in the daily resistance and in the struggles of asylum seekers.

Historical, linguistic and cultural challenges from Porošenko to Zelens'kyj
edited by
Andrea Franco Oleg Rumyantsevabstract
Con la Rivoluzione della Dignità (2014) un’ampia rappresentanza della popolazione dell’Ucraina si è pronunciata a favore di una collocazione geopolitica nell’UE e nella NATO. In parallelo, la Russia è intervenuta in Crimea e nel Donbas. La società ucraina, oltre ad affrontare le conseguenze di un conflitto e di una situazione geopolitica delicata, sta cercando un proprio equilibrio socio-politico interno, come dimostra l’avvicendamento Poroshenko-Zelens’kyj. La presente raccolta di studi, che coinvolge studiosi italiani, si concentra sui risvolti di carattere storico, giuridico, linguistico, culturale e religioso che accompagnano questo assestamento.
