SIN FRONTERAS

Autor: Alcides Vargas Echegaray

Número de Páginas: 461

La enfermedad no viene sola, siempre hay algo que la provoca. Los virus mutan, las bacterias se hacen resistentes a los antibióticos, los priones aparecen por la transformación de las proteínas estructurales, similares a las normales. «La guerra del agua» hace evidente la relación de enfermedad y contexto, mostrando facetas históricas encubiertas que son parte del escenario mundial: la esclavitud, la segregación racial y confesional; los desplazamientos de masas humanas por guerras, conflictos sociales y económicos. El protagonista, un epidemiólogo, narra en prim era persona su experiencia en los brotes de enfermedades emergentes, además, muestra la faceta íntima de un hombre que se afana en buscar afecto: primero darlo y luego recibirlo. La pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 nos demuestra nuestra fragilidad sanitaria. Nos queda aprender la lección para enfrentar el futuro.

Advanced Techniques for Surface Engineering

Autor: W. Gissler , H.a. Jehn

Número de Páginas: 402

Today's shortages of resources make the search for wear and corrosion resistant materials one of the most important tasks of the next century. Since the surface of a material is the location where any interaction occurs, it is that there the hardest requirements on the material are imposed: to be wear resistant for tools and bearings; to be corrosion resistant for turbine blades and tubes in the petrochemical industry; to be antireflecting for solar cells; to be decorative for architectural panels and to combine several of these properties in other applications. Surface engineering is the general term that incorporates all the techniques by which a surface modification can be accomplished. These techniques include both coating and modification of the surface by ion implantation and laser beam melting. In recent years a continuously growing number of these techniques were developed to the extent that it became more and more difficult to maintain an overlook and to understand which of these highly differentiated techniques might be applied to resolve a given surface engineering problem. A similar development is also occuring for surface characterization techniques. This volume...

L'adaptation littéraire du plus grand film de Federico Fellini. Cinéaste à succès, Massimo Barbiani se lance dans la réalisation d'un nouveau long métrage. Le contrat est signé, les premiers interprètes engagés, on construit les décors... Mais l'idée de ce film, qui lui paraissait si claire au début, s'évanouit. Massimo ne sait plus ce qu'il voulait faire. Il angoisse tant qu'on lui prescrit une cure thermale. La trêve est de courte durée puisque la production vient le rejoindre dans le Grand Hôtel de la Source où il séjourne. Et voilà qu'arrivent tour à tour sa plantureuse maîtresse, sa femme si touchante, puis la divine Claudia Cardinale qui lui retourne le coeur... Entre questionnements sentimentaux et dilemmes créatifs, Massimo est sollicité de toutes parts. Les comédiens veulent connaître leur rôle, les décorateurs attendent des consignes, le producteur des réponses... Il n'en dort plus la nuit. Parviendra-t-il à éviter un échec magistral ? En transformant en roman Huit et demi, le chef-d'oeuvre autobiographique de Fellini, Marco Caramelli se glisse comme jamais dans la peau de cet illustre réalisateur. Et c'est toute l'atmosphère truculente,...

Darkening the Italian Screen

Autor: Eugenio Ercolani

Número de Páginas: 335

 The birth and rise of popular Italian cinema since the early 1950s can be attributed purely to necessity. The vast number of genres, sub-genres, currents and crossovers and the way they have overlapped, died out or replaced each other has been an attempt, in postwar years, to contain the invasion of U.S. product while satisfying the demands the American industry had created in Italy. The author explores one of the most multi-faceted and contradictory industries cinema has ever known through the careers of those most closely associated with it. His recorded interviews were conducted with directors and actors both well-known and upcoming.

Migration at the End of Empire

Autor: Joseph John Viscomi

Número de Páginas: 329

How has migration shaped Mediterranean history? And what role did conflicting temporalities and the politics of departure play in the age of decolonisation? Using a microhistorical approach, Migration at the End of Empire explores the experiences of over 55,000 Italian subjects in Egypt during the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Before 1937, Ottoman-era legal regimes fostered the coupling of nationalism and imperialism among Italians in Egypt, particularly as the fascist government sought to revive the myth of Mare Nostrum. With decolonisation, however, Italians began abandoning Egypt en masse. By 1960, over 40,000 had deserted Egypt; some as 'emigrants,' others as 'repatriates,'and still others as 'national refugees.' The departed community became an emblem around which political actors in post-colonial Italy and Egypt forged new ties. Anticipated, actual, and remembered departures of Italians from Egypt are at the heart of this book's ambition to rethink European and Mediterranean periodisation.

Federico Fellini

Autor: Tullio Kezich

Número de Páginas: 464

A lively and authoritative journey into the world of a cinema master With the revolutionary 8 1/2, Federico Fellini put his deepest desires and anxieties before the lens in 1963, permanently impacting the art of cinema in the process. Now, more than forty years later, film critic and Fellini confidant Tullio Kezich has written the work by which all other biographies of the filmmaker are sure to be measured. In this moving and intimately revealing account of a lifetime spent in pictures, Kezich uses his friendship with Fellini as a means to step outside the frame of myth and anecdote that surrounds him—much, it turns out, of the director's own making. A great lover of women and a meticulous observer of dreams, Fellini, perhaps more than any other director of the twentieth century, created films that embodied a thoroughly modern sensibility, eschewing traditional narrative along with religious and moral precepts. His is an art of delicate pathos, of episodic films that directly address the intersection of reality, fantasy, and desire that exists as a product of mid-century Italy—a country reeling from a Fascist regime as it struggled with an outmoded Catholic national identity....

Corrosion of Archaeological and Heritage Artefacts EFC 45

Autor: Philippe Dillmann

Número de Páginas: 113

"This special issue of Corrosion Engineering Science and Technology is dedicated to the study of corrosion of objects from historical sites. The issue contains contributions from the 2009 EUROCORR session on Corrosion of Archaeological and Heritage Artefacts organised by the European Federation of Corrosion's working party and commissioned articles on other key issues. The objective is to give the reader a broad understanding of corrosion of ancient materials, for the most part metal but also glass. Articles shed light on a range of analytical approaches related to the study of the complex systems that make up historical artifacts. In order to arrive at an understanding of the nanometric organisation of rust layers and interphases, such studies must be approached on a macroscopic scale. Techniques used include; macrophotography, synchrotron radiation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that ensure results that are both exhaustive and representative of particular observations. This issue demonstrates the wealth of approaches possible in the study of the corrosion of ancient materials."

Buenavista capital del sexo

Autor: José Gabriel Ceballos

Número de Páginas: 123

Los cuentos de Buenavista Capital del sexo se inscriben dentro de la misma línea de los relatos anteriores del autor; personajes ya conocidos por nosotros que recurren a esa admirable desmesura que tanto nos gusta en Ceballos, porque como dijo Borges: la vida no tiene por qué ser interesante, pero en el caso de la literatura es una obligación. Las historias se deslizan siempre hacia la incongruencia, con un lenguaje elíptico muy elaborado. Mucha información acerca de los personajes y sus circunstancias son inteligentemente omitidas para favorecer la sorpresa, para romper los límites con cualquier lógica cotidiana. José Gabriel Ceballos no nos permite pensar, estamos dentro de una historia y debemos saborearla a medida que la leemos.

De la cárcel al hospital

Autor: José Ignacio Allevi

Número de Páginas: 196

Este libro aborda la encrucijada de procesos que generaron preocupación disciplinar y un espacio clínico para abordar la locura en el litoral argentino durante la entreguerra (1920-1944). Con ese objetivo, Allevi reconstruye los escenarios materiales y académicos que permitieron problematizar la sinrazón en la ciudad de Rosario. En un contexto del afianzamiento de un campo psiquiátrico nacional e internacional, la investigación que nutre estas páginas estudia cómo se constituyó un espacio de ciencia legítimo para la psiquiatría en una de las ciudades más dinámicas del país a lo largo de dos décadas. De este modo, invitamos a las lectoras y los lectores a recorrer el espectro de planos a partir de los cuales se construyó ex nihilo un campo psiquiátrico en Rosario: desde la apertura de un área psi en su casa de altos estudios, las instituciones que derivaron, la posición que esta logró en el mundo académico –nacional e internacional–, su diálogo con actores políticos, estatales y de la sociedad civil. Por último, De la cárcel al hospital se ocupa de investigar la recepción e implementación de los primeros tratamientos de shock en el Hospital de...
