Questo volume raccoglie i risultati delle attività del Laboratorio di studi internazionali gramsciani (GramsciLab) e nasce dall'esigenza, condivisa fra colleghe e colleghi di diverse aree scientifiche, ma accomunati dalla specializzazione in studi storico-politici e linguistici in determinati contesti d'area, di procedere a una più ampia 'mappatura' della diffusione del pensiero di Antonio Gramsci. L'attenzione è rivolta a Paesi dell'Asia, dell'Africa e dell'America Latina, dove le analisi e le riflessioni su alcune importanti categorie analitiche gramsciane si sviluppano da decenni con sempre più vigore e sorprendenti risultati, spesso poco noti, soprattutto in Italia (anche, ma non solo, a causa delle difficoltà linguistiche). This volume collects the results of the activities of the Hub for International Gramscian Studies (GramsciLab) and stems from the need, shared among colleagues from different scientific areas but united by specialization in historical-political and linguistic studies in specific area contexts, to proceed to a broader 'mapping' of the diffusion of Antonio Gramsci's thought. The focus is on countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where analyses and reflections on some important Gramscian analytical categories have been developing for decades with increasing vigor and surprising results, often little known, especially in Italy (not only for linguistic difficulties).

Joseph Bensman (1922-1986), a renowned analyst of modern institutions, professions, and culture, was Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and at City College of New York. From Joseph Bensman: Essays on Modern Society brings together some of his finest work, often done in collaboration with colleagues such as Arthur J. Vidich, Robert Lilienfeld, Bernard Rosenberg, and Israel Gerver.In the introduction to this volume, editors Robert Jackall and Duffy Graham identify Bensman's trademark habits of mind: an analytical stance, fundamentally objective and dispassionate; a vigilant awareness of the reach and vitality of bureaucracy; an ability to discern intellectual problems in superficially unremarkable phenomena; attention to empirical detail and suspicion of theoretical abstractions; and appreciation of irony and unintended consequences.

Giorgio Trentin (1917-2013), eldest son of the anti-fascist exile Silvio and brother of the unionist Bruno, was one of the greatest connoisseurs, enthusiasts and 'defenders' of engraving art in Italy. With this conference promoted a few months after his death, the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice and the Centro documentazione e ricerca Trentin have brought together the researches of scholars from different backgrounds and the testimonies of those who knew Giorgio Trentin. The aim was the one of restoring unity to the two 'faces' of his figure: on one hand the civil and anti-fascist militancy (a characteristic and unmistakable mark of the family) on the other the commitment in the artistic field, which represented personal space of Giorgio or, better, his personal declination of that common militancy. To him, in fact, the engraving technique was an indispensable paradigm of moral rigour and the search for truth.

Result of our research is a monographic study dealing with a prominent part of Kokoschka's life and work which has hitherto been regarded too little by scholars. The years of his exile in Prague and particularly in London, where he had to work under a lot of stress and pressure, are the time in which his political allegories came to be. As these works are outside the established canon of art historical development, and as they have no affinity to Surrealism or to Abstract art, scholars have so far spent comparatively less effort to analyse them. This study approaches the group of these works from a transdisciplinary perspective. The authors (G. Sultano is trained historian, P. Werkner art historian) set out from different questions with regard to his oevre and his life. This results in combining the view of a prominent body of Kokoschka's paintings with a biographical perspective set against a political-historical background.

While highly respected among evolutionary scholars, the sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher Edward Westermarck is now largely forgotten in the social sciences. This book is the first full study of his moral and social theory, focusing on the key elements of his theory of moral emotions as presented in The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas and summarised in Ethical Relativity. Examining Westermarck's evolutionary approach to the human mind, the author introduces important new themes to scholarship on Westermarck, including the pivotal role of emotions in human reciprocity, the evolutionary origins of human society, social solidarity, the emergence and maintenance of moral norms and moral responsibility. With attention to Westermarck's debt to David Hume and Adam Smith, whose views on human nature, moral sentiments and sympathy Westermarck combined with Darwinian evolutionary thinking, Morality Made Visible highlights the importance of the theory of sympathy that lies at the heart of Westermarck's work, which proves to be crucial to his understanding of morality and human social life. A rigorous examination of Westermarck's moral and social theory in its intellectual context, this volume connects Westermarck's work on morality to classical sociology, to the history of evolutionism in the social and behavioural sciences, and to the sociological study of morality and emotions, showing him to be the forerunner of modern evolutionary psychology and anthropology. In revealing the lasting value of his work in understanding and explaining a wide range of moral phenomena, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and psychology with interests in social theory, morality and intellectual history.

"This book deals with the role that artists and intellectuals have had regarding projects of European integration. Taking Spain as a case study, the book analyzes how their works offer nuanced and engaging perspectives on the emotions generated by the ideal of a unified Europe and its most recognizable embodiment, the European Union (EU). The sustained scrutiny of the ever-evolving idea of Europe by artists and intellectuals has helped to pave the way for the current widespread protests against the EU. Consciously or not, they partake of a tradition of Euroskepticism. In the book, Euroskepticism designates a constellation of attitudes and arguments that have developed in reaction to pan- and pro-European movements. Its evolving features are conditioned by culture and formed in discourse. Because Euroskepticism is often associated exclusively with the discourse of political elites, its literary and artistic expressions have gone largely unnoticed, because their complex contributions escape academic approaches that prioritize other types of data. The book addresses this gap in the scholarship by examining closely a variety of Euroskeptic texts from a diachronic perspective, covering roughly from 1915 to the present. Knowing about this eclipsed critical tradition contributes to a deeper understanding of the notion of Europe and its institutional embodiments. It gives resonance to the intellectual and cultural history of Europe's "peripheries" and re-evaluates Euroskeptic contributions as one of the few hopes left to imagine ways to renew the promise of a union of the European nations"--
