The City and the Unconscious in the Global Age. German Studies in Multidisciplinary Dialogue hosts many more questions than it is possible to state here and seeks answers that introduce an ethic of citizenship for the third millennium, where the goals of Agenda 2030 are not reduced to slogans and empty talks and where the grassroots activists do not risk to be hushed up or even taken in by the most powerful corporations, which pretend to operate in the acknowledgment of the differences that Otherness entails. The inspirers of the volume are German-speaking intellectuals, poets, artists, architects from various backgrounds. In particular, we started from the ideas and work of Bruno Taut to rethink through Sigmund Freud, F. G. Jünger, Paul Celan, Durs Grünbein and many others social bonding in the age of anthropological mutation and pandemic emergencies. Published il volume ospita molte più domande di quanto non sia qui possibile enunciare e cerca risposte che introducano un'etica della cittadinanza per il terzo millennio, dove le finalità di Agenda 2030 non restino gusci vuoti, slogan che evacuano il pensare e dove al movimentismo, strumentalizzato dai potenti della terra, si sostituiscano contenuti e consapevolezze da tradurre in una prassi comune nel riconoscimento delle differenze e di un'irriducibile alterità. Il volume prende avvio dagli scritti di Bruno Taut per ripensare attraverso Sigmund Freud, F. G. Jünger, Paul Celan, Durs Grünbein e molti altri il legame sociale all'epoca della mutazione antropologica e delle emergenze pandemiche.

It was 1987 when Alma Sabatini, following the request of the National Commission for Equality and equal Opportunities between women and men, established by the Presidency of the Council of Ministries, published The indications for a non-sexist use of the Italian language. Over thirty years after that publication, the topic has kept its relevance intact, becoming the keystone for reading and interpreting gender issues and policies. Starting from this context, the universities of Florence and Udine proposed a reflection on the relationship between gender and language, bringing the topic back to the center of the scientific debate, but free from media aspects which it often appears to be imbued with in public opinion and that, sometimes, end up undermining the true value of the relationship.

"Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) was one of the most famous figures of the Italian Renaissance. His extraordinary range of abilities as a writer, architect, art theorist, and even athlete earned him the title of the first "Renaissance man." Alberti was a prolific author, but only a few of his works are well known today: these are his vernacular dialogue on the family (De familia, 1433-43); his treatise on painting, which he wrote first in the vernacular and then in Latin (Della pittura/De pictura, 1435-36; 1439-41); and his Latin treatise on architecture, De re aedificatoria (On the Art of Building), written 1443-72. Yet these represent only the tip of the huge iceberg of writings that he composed. Consequently, one of the first aims of this volume is to bring to the attention of a wider public five significant Latin compositions that have largely been neglected even though they tell us much about his literary aims and development, and contain a strongly biographical and/or autobiographical dimension. The pieces that make up this volume are: the early treatise/invective De commodis litterarum atque incommodis (On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Literature, 1428-32), which partly reflects his experiences as a student in Bologna in the 1420s; the biography of an obscure Christian martyr, Vita S. Potiti (The Life of Saint Potitus, 1432-34), which also contains autobiographical projections; a mock funeral oration for his dead dog, Canis (My Dog, c. 1438), which however also has distinct autobiographical overtones; his own autobiography, entitled Vita (My Life, 1438-44), one of the first autobiographies of the early modern period; and a comic encomium of the fly, entitled Musca (The Fly, 1441-43), inspired by one of Lucian's works, but this too contains many elements of his own self-portrait. These five Latin works, written over a space of fifteen years, provide an insight into a crucial phase of Alberti's growth as a writer, as he gradually finds his own voice in these biographical and autobiographical writings"--
