Daisaku Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai International
This study analyses the Peace Proposals to the UN formulated by Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese political philosopher and religious leader of Sōka Gakkai International, supporter of the ideals of Engaged Buddhism. This NGO strives to contribute to world society through culture, peace activism, disaster relief, and education. Since 1983 Ikeda has written annual Peace Proposals, containing ideas from Buddhist humanism for viable responses to global issues, to support a strengthened role of the UN and encourage a sense of global citizenship. They give a non-Western centric point of view on major global issues and problems, providing innovative solutions for the pacifist movement all over the world.
Health and Ethics
The book Health and Ethics stems from the need to divulge the knowledge and emotions shared by students and professors during the first lessons of Moral Philosophy, led by Professors Pacifici Noja and Boccanelli. A spontaneous bond which had arisen amongst the two counterparts, led to an innovative model of creative interaction. The students, divided into 17 groups, had to choose among different themes suggested by the professors, according to their preferences and personal interests. The themes range among many fields, but they have one purpose in common: highlighting and studying the different relationships bonded between the physician and the patient. Therefore, the book was designed to be an important resource for the comprehension and the understanding of both the difficulties and the duties a physician needs to face, but also of the satisfaction and happiness which can arise from them.

Quaderni del CIRM - Centro Interuniversitario di Ricerca sulle Metafore
Prodotto del nutrito e variegato gruppo di lavoro che costituisce il Centro Interuniversitario di Ricerca sulle Metafore (https://cirm.unige.it), i Quaderni del CIRM ne rispettano pienamente la natura eterogenea per provenienza disciplinare, interessi di ricerca, punto di vista sulla poliedricità dell’oggetto metaforico. In questo primo volume, accanto a saggi più focalizzati su aspetti teorici ed epistemologici, coesistono contributi centrati sui fenomeni che collegano metafora e argomentazione, così come analisi contrastive e traduttologiche e infine studi di caso in diverse tipologie testuali e discorsive. Altrettanto varia e significativa, la provenienza degli autori testimonia della vitalità di un progetto aperto ad approcci teorici e metodologici diversi.
Re-inhabiting Cold War Sites
In the north-east of Italy the sites of the Cold War represent an excellent opportunity to enhance the landscapes and cultures of the places where they are located. By their nature these sites were part of an international and intercontinental technological and military context. Gathering theoretical insights and design practice for the enhancement of these important sites, this book collects different international experiences around the theme of the reuse and architectural design of recently abandoned military areas to try to awaken attention to these important territorial signs that are in danger of disappearing.
Towards the reactive building process management
Digital tools and techniques, also because of the recent restrictions caused by the pandemic, have gained an almost necessary role in human activities. The construction sector, which is structurally slower in metabolising innovation, has a significant productivity gap when compared with manufacturing. This research therefore analyses the management methodologies used today for construction and proposes, through the principles of reactive programming and an integrated use of BIM and IT tools, a tested methodology capable of increasing the productivity and quality of the construction process on building site.
Emergenze: i sistemi di comunicazione e di supporto alle decisioni
Le emergenze sono caratterizzate da una complessità gestionale intrinseca e dalla necessità di collaborazione tra molteplici interlocutori con competenze diverse. La continua evoluzione tecnologica nell’ambito dell’informatica e delle comunicazioni pone, inoltre, sfide costanti e impegnative, soprattutto in campo politico, sociale e umano, da affrontare utilizzando tutti gli strumenti utili e sfruttando a pieno ogni risorsa. Il libro prende in esame le innovazioni tecnologiche applicabili alla gestione di emergenze e di operazioni di soccorso, focalizzandosi in particolare su informatica e telecomunicazioni, due ambiti strettamente connessi tra loro.
Transnational Working-Class Literatures
This book offers a pioneering study of the national, transnational, and international dimensions of working-class literature. It explores both the historically and geographically varied nature of the relationship between working-class literatures and national ‘canons’, and the importance of international and transnational exchanges in the development of working-class literature. Through a series of detailed case studies (its sixteen essays analyse working-class literatures from the early nineteenth century to the present day and cover thirteen countries across three continents) this collection not only analyses the factors which lead to the incorporation or exclusion of working-class literature from a given national ‘canon’, but also traces the various ways in which working-class literatures participate in international networks of exchange. With its wide historical range, extensive geographical coverage and broad definition of working-class literature, which includes samba poetry as well as socialist realism, this collection charts new territory for the study of working-class literature.
Mapping
Mapping has evolved beyond navigation into a method for interpreting spatial, ephemeral, and sociopolitical dimensions of contemporary life. This volume explores how cartographic practices are being reimagined across disciplines to understand and reconfigure urban space. The chapters examine mapping as both representational and generative, spanning participatory mapping in informal settlements, film-based documentation of marginalised geographies, embodied cartographies, and data-driven analysis. Organised into five parts, “Representation,” “Critical Cartographies,” “Mapping Belonging,” “Performative Cartographies,” and “Data Mapping”, the volume highlights methodological...
Ecriture de l'ailleurs
L'auteur écrit sa fascination pour les voyages et pour ces écrits qu'on appelle aussi viatiques ou hodéporiques à partir d'un corpus de textes de négociants, d'émigrés, de missionnaires, d'explorateurs, de colonisateurs, de galériens français, italiens, espagnols, portugais, répartis sur quatre siècles, de 1343 à 1750. Et ce sans distinction de qualité littéraire, de statut social ou de convictions politiques ou religieuses. Le livre de Paolo Carile, qui examine ce logos de l'itinérance, est une invitation aux voyages.
