Futurist Cinema
Futurism and early cinema shared a fascination with dynamic movement and speed, presenting both as harbingers of an emerging new way of life and new aesthetic criteria. And the Futurists quickly latched on to cinema as a device with great potential to manipulate our perceptions in order to create a new world. In the edited collection Futurist Cinema, Rossella Catanese explores that conjunction, bringing in avant-garde artists and their manifestos to show how painters and other artists turned to cinema as a model for overcoming the inherently static nature of painting in order to rethink it for a new era.
Mezzi di scambio non monetari. Merci e servizi come monete alternative nelle economie dei secoli XIII-XVIII / Alternative currencies. Commodities and services as exchange currencies in the monetarized economies of the 13th to 18th centuries
The volume focuses on the importance and placement of alternative exchange practices in the 13th to 18th centuries, specifically examining goods and services used as means of payment in barter or in-kind transactions. Despite monetary theory emphasizing credit and real currency, coins or paper money did not prevent in-kind transactions. Barter isn’t merely a result of a lack of money, but rather an economic choice with diverse reasons, meanings, and consequences, found in both rural and urban areas. These alternative exchange methods go beyond mere stopgaps and impact all economic activities, from production to consumption.
The Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law
Comparative law is a common subject-matter of research and teaching in many universities around the world, and the twenty-first century has aptly been termed 'the era of comparative law'. This Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law presents a truly global perspective of comparative law today. The contributors are drawn from all parts of the world to provide different perspectives on how we understand the 'law' and how it operates in practice. In substance, the Handbook contains 36 chapters covering a broad range of topics, divided under the following headings: 'Methods of Comparative Law' (Part I), 'Legal Families and Geographical Comparisons' (Part II), 'Central Themes in Comparative Law' (Part III); and 'Comparative Law beyond the State' (Part IV).
Production and circulation of whealth. Problems, principles and models
On January 1, 2021, the People’s Republic of China, the most populous country in the world and currently the second largest world economy, finally witnessed the entry into force of the Civil Code, a text intended to regulate the legal life of this great country in the coming decades. The development and maturation of this work have been quite tortuous and complex, and are the result of a journey began in 1978 and carried forward through complex and tiring stages. Its entry into force represents an epochal change in world legal history, since with it China, which for some time had already manifested its adherence to the Roman legal system, definitively became part of the legal orders of cod...
Catasto murattiano di Itri
Il crescente interesse verso il comparto olivicolo connesso con l’oliva di Gaeta ha reso necessaria un’indagine più approfondita sul ruolo che l’agricoltura di Itri ha svolto nei secoli precedenti. Dopo la pubblicazione del catasto murattiano di Gaeta è stato possibile digitalizzare anche quello di Itri che fu terminato nel maggio 1811. L’inventario completo non solo costituisce una immagine istantanea dell’agricoltura itrana in quella data, ma solleva il sipario sulla vita di una città svelando occupazioni, soprannomi e soprattutto toponomastica, determinando una continuità storica con il catasto onciario pubblicato in passato. Include link alle mappe catastali del periodo e le sezioni complete.
