Il cervello anarchico




Enzo Soresi, "Il cervello anarchico"


2005 | Italian | ISBN-10: 8841897929 | 237 pages | PDF | 7 MB




Per tutto il periodo della sua vita fetale, fino al momento della nascita, il cervello sviluppa con l'organismo a cui appartiene una relazione fisiologicamente armonica che si instaura attraverso un network di comunicazioni rappresentate dai neurotrasmettitori e neuropeptidi. Questi messaggeri neurochimici, prodotti dalle cellule del sistema nervoso centrale e del sistema immunitario, influenzano la crescita delle fibre nervose, la plasticità delle sinapsi, il ciclo vitale dei neuroni con la loro morte programmata, determinando l'assetto definitivo del sistema nervoso centrale e periferico. Al momento della nascita l'impatto con i fattori ambientali e le esperienze individuali condizionano l'assetto definitivo del cervello e l'espressione dei geni la cui premessa è quella di raccogliere i suggerimenti dell'ambiente. Alla luce della PNEI (Psiconeuroendocrinoimmunologia) l'autore illustra una serie di casi clinici "singolari" dandone l'interpretazione scientifica per dimostrare l'importanza di un modello di vita volto a ridurre al minimo il disagio psichico con conseguente prevenzione del danno biologico. Presentazione di Umberto Galimberti.









Porn Archives




Porn Archives by Tim Dean, Steven Ruszczycky, David Squires


2014 | ISBN: 0822356716, 0822356805 | English | 514 pages | PDF | 3 MB




While sexually explicit writing and art have been around for millennia, pornography—as an aesthetic, moral, and juridical category—is a modern invention. The contributors to Porn Archives explore how the production and proliferation of pornography has been intertwined with the emergence of the archive as a conceptual and physical site for preserving, cataloguing, and transmitting documents and artifacts. By segregating and regulating access to sexually explicit material, archives have helped constitute pornography as a distinct genre. As a result, porn has become a site for the production of knowledge, as well as the production of pleasure.




The essays in this collection address the historically and culturally varied interactions between porn and the archive. Topics range from library policies governing access to sexually explicit material to the growing digital archive of "war porn," or eroticized combat imagery; and from same-sex amputee porn to gay black comic book superhero porn. Together the pieces trace pornography as it crosses borders, transforms technologies, consolidates sexual identities, and challenges notions of what counts as legitimate forms of knowledge. The collection concludes with a valuable resource for scholars: a list of pornography archives held by institutions around the world.

Italian Crime Filmography: 1968-1980




Italian Crime Filmography: 1968-1980 By Roberto Curti


English | McFarland (October 22, 2013) | ISBN-10: 0786469765 | 332 pages | PDF | 12 MB






In 1970s Italy, after the decline of the Spaghetti Western, crime films became the most popular, profitable and controversial genre. In a country plagued with violence, politicaltensions and armed struggle, these films managed to capture the anxiety and anger of the times in their tales of tough cops, ruthless criminals and urban paranoia. Recent yearshave seen renewed critical interest in the genre, thanks in part to such illustrious fans as Quentin Tarantino. This book examines all of the 220+ crime films produced in Italybetween 1968 and 1980, the period when the genre first appeared and grew to its peak. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, a plot summary and the author's own analysis. Excerpts from a variety of sources are included: academic texts, contemporary reviews, and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. There are many onset stills and film posters.











Author Roberto Curti has given the Euro film fan an exhaustive but thorough tome on the Italian Crime film. After giving a history of how the genre developed after the decline of the Spaghetti Western and with the political tensions which were prevalent in Italy in the early Seventies, it shows how film audiences were welcoming this type of film as a way to project their rage and frustrations with the heroes and anti-heroes of the photoplays. Mr. Curti spans the entire gamut of the genre from its beginnings in 1968 with the benchmark thriller Director Carlo Lizzani's 'BANDITS IN MILAN' aka 'THE VIOLENT FOUR' aka 'BANDITI A MILANO' and covers each separate year alphabetizing each film and giving a synopsis, critical analysis including interviews with the technicians , extensive cast and crew credits and rare photos thereby giving each entry the ability to stand on its own and giving the reader more than just a browser coffee table work. The years covered are from 1968 to 1980 but Mr. Curti goes a step further by including an appendix entitled 'ITALIAN CRIME FILMS 1981 to 2013' showing the works which continued and are still being released in the genre. There are also separate chapters on the most significant directors and actors within the genre making this tome the final word on the subject and a definitive work . Highly recommended and Mr. Curti should be congratulated on a job well done thereby giving American audiences the knowledge of these classics and neglected works. May he continue to release books on other Italian Film genres in the future.









Roberto Curti has done a job that had not previously been tackled before, writing a book about the Italian crime film genre in English. I have a book that I picked up in Rome about these films, but Curti's book has pulled all stops and is the definitive tome for anyone into the myriad of police and gangster films that Italy produced in the late sixties right up until the early eighties. The book is chock full of synopses, credit listings, availability on VHS and DVD formats and anecdotes from filmmakers and actors alike. This is essential for any Italian cineaste's library and those who are fans of this oft-neglected genre. This book is a great companion piece to the excellent website, pollanet.com, which is devoted to Italian crime films. The indexes are terrific as well, although a listing of the films from 1981 onward would have been nice as there are many films that should be recognized, i.e. Wooden Overcoat with Fred Williamson. Get this one and you will hooked on these unsung films!
