La gioconda miseria. Fenomenologia del tarantismo
Dietro al morso della taranta e del presunto ballo guaritore risuonano echi antichi di un'antropologia dell'intreccio che trova forse il proprio antecedente mitico nel dramma esistenziale che legava Arianna a Teseo e Dioniso. L'aggirarsi fra le tombe, il dormire nei sepolcri, la spasmodica ricerca del mare, il grido rituale, il denudamento, l'apparizione a mezzogiorno della taranta che morde e rimorde sotto la canicola, sembrano infatti costituire tutti vettori simbolici che rinviano alla tragica messa in scena della noja, nel senso di un'agonia sentimentale in forma di lutto o di forzato distacco.

Negli Abruzzi. Con dodici tavole ad acquerello realizzate da Amy Atkinson
Esiste una parte dell'Abruzzo di cui si è parlato poco: una metà marginale agli occhi di chi attraversava la regione, considerata non rilevante per definirne l'identità. Eppure, è stata questa parte a garantire la sopravvivenza della terra, preservandone tradizioni e usi nei momenti più difficili. Si tratta dell'Abruzzo delle donne: madri, mogli, nonne e figlie, protagoniste finalmente riconosciute grazie al resoconto di Anne MacDonell, che, insieme a Amy Atkinson, viaggiò nell'Abruzzo selvaggio nel 1907. MacDonell sottolinea come figure come la battagliera, la profetessa, la santa e la brigantessa fossero ben note nelle terre d'Abruzzo, dimostrando che le donne erano il fulcro della vita sociale, spesso sole a causa della transumanza dei mariti, ma capaci di affrontare le difficoltà. Un viaggio raro per l'epoca, che offre un ritratto attento e inedito dell'Abruzzo femminile, troppo spesso trascurato.

Formal Approaches to Romance Morphosyntax
Recent years have witnessed a (re)surfacing of interest on the interaction of morphology and syntax. For many grammatical phenomena, it is not easy to draw a dividing line between syntactic and morphological structure. This has led to the assumption that syntax is the module responsible not only for deriving syntactically complex phrases but also for deriving morphologically complex items, both in inflection and word formation. There are however also good reasons to think that syntax is not involved in all morphological processes and that there are consistent areas of morphology that are independent from syntactic processes. This book presents a collection of papers where phenomena from Romance languages and varieties are analysed under contrasting views on how morphology and syntax interact. All the contributions follow the aim to investigate what the analysed phenomena tell us about their structural make¿up and the grammatical processes involved.

Household Horror
Take a tour of the house where a microwave killed a gremlin, a typewriter made Jack a dull boy, a sewing machine fashioned Carrie's prom dress, and houseplants might kill you while you sleep. In Household Horror: Cinematic Fear and the Secret Life of Everyday Objects, Marc Olivier highlights the wonder, fear, and terrifying dimension of objects in horror cinema. Inspired by object-oriented ontology and the nonhuman turn in philosophy, Olivier places objects in film on par with humans, arguing, for example, that a sleeper sofa is as much the star of Sisters as Margot Kidder, that The Exorcist is about a possessed bed, and that Rosemary's Baby is a conflict between herbal shakes and prenatal vitamins. Household Horror reinvigorates horror film criticism by investigating the unfathomable being of objects as seemingly benign as remotes, radiators, refrigerators, and dining tables. Olivier questions what Hitchcock's Psycho tells us about shower curtains. What can we learn from Freddie Krueger's greatest accomplice, the mattress? Room by room, Olivier considers the dark side of fourteen household objects to demonstrate how the objects in these films manifest their own power and connect with specific cultural fears and concerns.

The Transported Man
A foreword by museum director and exhibition curator Marc-Olivier Wahler discusses the contemporary art exhibition The Transported Man within the framework of a teleportation magic trick described in Christopher Priest's 1995 novel The Prestige. Included is an interview between Wahler and France-based curator Christophe Kihm addressing how the brain reacts when interpreting an artwork, the language with which to approach art, and how these impact the future of museums and art exhibitions. Pairing the exhibition objectives with methods of illusion, an original essay by Christopher Priest, and a text by Francis Ponge, the book provides insight into the importance of belief and the nature of visual perception.
